I really wish Blackie Sherrod was still alive and covering the Cowboys for the Dallas Morning News. His reporting this Titanic sinking effort by Jerrah's kids would be gold.
While looking for something to watch prior to the Cowboys playoff game today, found this at 8am with the temperature at 13 degrees and no intention of venturing outside. So glad to have watched it from start to finish, particularly episodes 3&4 which everyone on this website should see and smile about. The legendary icon that Willie has become is well documented but the background story from his humble beginnings in Abbott are well defined and informative. Footage from shows in 60 years of performances in many genres with famous performers make this a worthwhile binge.
Not a bad way to end 2023 watching this movie with two other couples. As for the critics on Rotten Tomatoes who gave it 57%, EABOD. Audience gave it 96% and I just wonder if the critics didn't wander into Barbie instead of Boys in the Boat when they voted.
Going to dinner tonight with friends and to watch this movie after. Been anticipating this evening for two weeks since buying advance sale tickets and reading reviews from members here who have seen it. The book is a great read and if the movie comes close to matching the printed story, it should win awards.
Great movie and Paul Newman's last appearance which was phenomenal. Hanks shows his best in the business versatility-who else can portray a mobster and Mr. Rogers any better?
Last night you had to wonder if anyone would score in the Cotton Bowl. Tonight, you wonder if FSU will ever put up any effort to keep Georgia from scoring.
The Criminoles might be about to lose by 70, thus eclipsing the Dawgs eating the Frogs last year by 58. Instead of expanding the playoff to twelve teams, perhaps they should institute something like a 10 run rule like in Little League so that everyone could go home early since the outcome is no longer in doubt. At least the FSU fans won't have far to drive to get back to their trailer parks.
Beat me to it. As an old fart who lived through the Cuban missile crisis, I still remember those Civil Defense commercials as well as some in our neighborhood who had bomb shelters built in their backyards. Made for some great battle play for us kids.
