Trey Smith named to ESPN all bowl team

OL: Trey Smith, Tennessee:

The left guard had a stout performance in the Vols' Gator Bowl win over Indiana, including a key block to spring Eric Gray's game-winning, 16-yard touchdown run.

Signs OR The Happening are probably my two least favorite "reveal" moments in films. Still like both movies, and I love 10 Cloverfield Lane, but it's a trend in mainstream features that you always give that "happy" ending.

the happening was eerie as hell............

I’m in Scottsdale filming all week. Specifically near E Shea Blvd and The 101 Loop

Okay okay. Scottsdale beer company is right there at shea/101 if you want easy. Fate is also on shea/scottsdale rd. (Just okay IMO) Goldwater is in old town.

Being a Star Wars fanboy, I can tell you that arguing about Last Jedi is like arguing about politics. People either really liked it or really hated it, and no matter how many good points you make you will not change their opinion.

Oh I know. I remember coming out of the theater thinking, man that was awesome probably one of my favorites. Then hearing all the complaining about it was so confusing to me. But most of the complaints seemed like monday morning qb type stuff. After rewatching again recently I like it even more. Just a well done movie.

Doing my part for you brother! Sometimes I'm like "I think I agree, hmm" Then I look at that avi and
"Oh, he's getting a like, even if he didn't want it!"

Thanks for the quote. I'm a teacher by the way.

Lowest audience score of any Star Wars movie by a mile.

It's internally and externally illogical at many points, even in the main themes it puts forth. It breaks in-universe convention to the detriment of all other films and stories. It relies heavily on tired tropes to advance it's plot, despite calling itself "fresh." It congratulates itself for tiny "victories" while ignoring much larger issues. And it did absolutely nothing to set up the last film.

The illogical bit covers a whole bunch of problems with the movie. And all that without even touching on the lack of understanding of Luke's well-established narrative in episodes IV through VI, as you helped mention.

I can tell you're into the sad Star Wars movies, and that's OK, but you can do so much better than Last Jedi. It does look pretty at times. I'll give you that.

Lots of Star Wars junkies hate it because they're in their feelings about what they think some fictional characters "should" be doing. Maybe some of Luke's "well established narratives" needed to evolve. Maybe it's good they didn't blow up a 4th version of the death star. I enjoyed that it wasn't just some rehash of the same narratives. I do like the sadder ones a lot. But I like New Hope, Force Awakens, Rise of Skywalker and Solo a lot too. I don't even hate the prequels. I enjoyed them. But Empire, Rogue 1 and Last Jedi stand out to me because of their differences and how well done the stories are.

Hell yes! "Good enough" is responsible for 50% of mine!

The other half - "meant to hit reply but what the heck, I'll let him keep it"
I'm okay with that.

M. Night's show on Apple "Servant" is very good. Better than most of his movies.

As a Star Wars fanboy, tell me why it's good. All the fans I know hate it so I've never gotten a good take in the other direction. I watched it a second time before Rise of Skywalker and liked it even less than the first time.

Heck, even combing the critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, they're a bunch of "Star Wars fans will love it, and everyone else will think it's OK." Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
