oh, well thanks for those details. I kind of wish that had been in the movie with brief flashbacks. but don't you also think that someone with a burglar for a father would have a basic distrust of people? Nevermind foster care. I would have appreciated more distrust on display earlier in the film.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Upon further reflection, I'm pretty impressed with the dedication to realism in Warrior. Obviously you are going to sacrifice some by casting actors who aren't fighters as your leads, but then I remembered they cast Amir Perets in a role with no fighting in it. I think he holds pads, and runs.
Amir? Most fucking terrifying man at the krav centre. The things he can do, the speed and flexibility with which he can do them? Scary as shit. Which just makes me figure that even more people who didn't have to turn out a big acting performance were there for authenticity in the local colour.

Because books.
Has anyone ever seen The Group? I read the novel years ago and loved, although I don't remember why -- it might have been high school -- and I've never caught the movie before today.
Great cast -- Jessica Walter, Shirley Knight (who is lovely so young!), Hal Holbrook, Candice Bergen, Larry Hagman -- but it's supposed to be the 1930s, and they all look straight from the early 1960s. Very disappointing.

move out and draw fire
I was at every home game of that streak.
I looked for you in the crowdshots! We were living here, but that was the first year we could get all the A's games on cable.
I'm taking my work team to see Moneyball on Friday. Our project has to do with solving challenges by going outside the discipline, and we focus on accurately defining the problem. So I think it will be a good fit for the team.
I am amused, as the office movie trip last year was The Social Network. Maybe we should just ask Sorkin what his next project is, and base our work plans on that.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I looked for you in the crowdshots!
Most of the crowd footage was filmed a year ago and I had really tried to fly out to participate. But that didn't work out. There was also some footage from the actual games and, other than the green wig, I wouldn't know where to find myself. I sat all over the place - wherever I could get a ticket for games that weren't part of our season tickets. I do recall that for the last game of the streak we were sitting on the second deck, in the club seat area (my work season tickets).
This is definitely a thinking outside the box type movie.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
As much as I love a comic-book movie, I have to admit that a large portion of my brain is looking forward to the Avengers strictly for the eye candy. Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, RDJ -- good god.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And bonus Ruffalo! (I realize not everyone likes him.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This funny mashup by an unknown cartoonist references the children’s TV show Teletubbies and the horror film The Ring. The demonic Samara Morgan emerges from a different sort of television set.
