We saw Gladiator 2 and it was pretty good, not as good as the 1st one, but the storyline made sense and the action was good. I'd go watch it again at the movies. I've not seen A Complete Unknown, but if I'm paying to go to the movies, I'm picking an action flick every time.Any movie buffs out there? I have some time off tomorrow and I’m curious on whether I should treat myself to Gladiator 2 or Complete Unknown. I’m leaning towards gladiator 2, but figured I’d get the opinions of others who may have seen it.
We just got back from Complete Unknown, and I think it's the best film I've seen in theater in a long time. However, I could see that it might not be as interesting for someone too young to know the songs of the early/mid 60s.Any movie buffs out there?

Glad the idea took off. It’s a Nashville icon now. Imagine the outcry if it got demoed now.True story: My grandad was an engineer for the Civil Service and the VA. On a flight back from an overseas trip, he happened to sit next to a city planner for Nashville. During their conversation, the topic of the Shelby Street Bridge came up—it was being decommissioned for vehicle use and was likely to be dismantled.
Having grown up in Nashville and walked all over the city as a youth, my grandfather, ever the frugal engineer, asked why they couldn’t repurpose it for pedestrian traffic instead of going through the costly process of a full overhaul for vehicles or tearing it down entirely. The planner admitted it was a novel idea, and they left it at that when the plane landed.
A few years later, the Shelby Street Bridge reopened as the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge—the same one you now see all over Instagram, with people snapping photos against its iconic backdrop.
I’ll always like to think my grandfather cast the line on that idea, even if he wasn’t the one to reel it in.
