Re: Here - Robert Zemeckis

Definitely.

I particularly like his approach to effects, contrasted with someone like James Cameron, where the effects are very visible, very in-your-face. That stuff can be useful and I suppose...

Re: Here - Robert Zemeckis

And before (in case?) anyone nitpicks, I did hedge/qualify the animation blend comment a bit. You could make an argument for Mary Poppins, though that utilized something called the Sodium Vapor...

From my review of Beowulf (https://www.movieforums.com/reviews/1081621-beowulf.html) back in 2007:

It's one of those notices that's there so nobody can (reasonably) get mad if they make a mistake.

Often there'll be a reasonable, good-faith effort to make changes, but I'm the technical...

Yeah, and please, check your PMs, because you might have a clarifying message from Thursday about an ineligible film.

Depends on what you count as an official list, how far back you go, et cetera. Way back in the day, even something as broad as the All-Time list (before the big anniversary refresh) got just 42.

Re: Yoda Reviews Baseball Movies

More coming! Have not forgotten, and I've got pieces of a couple other reviews done already. Fittingly, real-life baseball stuff (fall playoffs and our big year-end party) have delayed them a bit,...

As of right now the difference in our projections is almost exactly the difference in points scored between Murray and Fields.

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football - 2024 Season

Obviously anything can happen game to game, we're all just playing probabilities, but I'd be surprised if you could find a single analyst ranking Fields above Murray this week.

Sometimes the announcement that they're going on the IR comes significantly before they're actually placed on the IR.

Is Taylor Swift talented??

Re: Is Taylor Swift talented??

She had a concert here last year and it was huge. The age ranges were all over the place. Definitely more female than male but other than that, it was a pretty wide net.

That said, the most vocal...

Re: Is Taylor Swift talented??

There's a lot of talking past each other, and a lot of goalpost moving. "Is she talented?" is one question. "Is she the greatest is another?" And "is she a great pure vocalist" is yet another, and...

Is Taylor Swift talented??

Re: Is Taylor Swift talented??

It's a pretty big shift to start with "is she talented?" and then end up at "is she the greatest?"

Anyway, my experience is that when someone calls a current <whatever> the greatest of all time,...

I'll grant "possible," but I'd say it's unlikely given the absolutely insane level of success, if nothing else.

Also, just listening to some of it, I think there's a lot of evident skill. But...

Re: MoFo Fantasy Football - 2024 Season

Complaining about losing because of a kicker is arguably the only time it does make sense to complain, because it's the position involving the least skill in predicting outcomes from week to week.
