The Browns Board

  • Saw it tonight with 40+ Browns Backers. It was a lot of fun, but no spoilers from me ... Just see it ... Pays homage to Cleveland and what is to be a Browns fan ... And Jim Brown and Bernie made the final scene. We were cheering the whole through, lots of fun. And Jennifer Garner's bush was a lot more untamed than I would have imagined.

  • Yeah Z, DAMN DAT BUSH WACK!

  • I wager that Garner shows nothing more than perhaps a sexy lingerie shot. I do not believe that she has ever even showed her tits in any movie.

    There's a distant shot of her in the shower, but you don't even know if it's her. Could be body double.

    As for the film, while it has its Hollywoodized moments, and a couple of unbelievable plot points, it's still a good flick in my opinion.

    White Castle ( The WC Steakhouse) opened it's first restaurant in Witchita, Kansas in 1922.

    Current HQ in CBUS where they also have a manufacturing entity that constructs components for their unique style stores.

    "In jan 2014 Time labelled the WC slider as the most influential burger of all time."

    we call them belly bombers. eat 3 or 4 of them on top of an afternoon of drinking and open the bomb bay doors.

  • I went and watched it last night. It was ok, I'll say above average. By all accounts a good movie, but I left with a small feeling of disappointment because of how it was being hyped as the best sports movie ever made. I wouldn't even say it's the best sports movie Costner has ever starred in. When it came down to draft time and everyone was on the clock it was cool, but there is a love interest which, in my opinion, completely pulled away from the movie, and I also felt like some pieces of the back story were cheesy. Plus the first overall pick belonged to (SPOILER.... but not really a spoiler because you figure this out in the first 5 minutes of the film) the Seahawks. Who we all know actually won the super bowl this year. I figure that decision came down to where it was cheaper to film, but still. They could have shoved Buffalo in that spot (a team that appears in the film) and used the Seahawks else where.

    I'll give it a 7 out of 10. I was planning on seeing it again this afternoon, but I was just underwhelmed enough to wait to see it again when it comes out on Blu Ray.

    Funny you would say that.

    The initial script had the movie based on the Buffalo Bills.

    Did you think her eyes look a bit wonkie during the scene where she is staring into the mirror?

    Ya I know which would have made even more sense. I'm assuming it came down to a state tax thing where Washington cost less to film in for a few shots than it cost to film in NY.

  • Swensons is the best burger on the planet

    🙂 You have to be seriously drunk to eat them, they are tasty in that mental state.

  • I thought it was an average movie. It didn't really build a real emotional attachment for me even though I'm a Browns fan.

    Spoiler alert:

    Biggest disappointment: They couldn't even show the Browns winning a single game the next season! Even in the movies we can't win! 🙁

  • I loved it....we had a great draft for once 🙂

    in just over 3 1/2 weeks we'll be able to see if farmer can outdo costner.

    i think he'll do just fine.

    Well, it was just a bit unrealistic:

    SPOILER ALERT

    No NFL team is going to trade 3 first round picks in a row. No NFL team is going to trade 3 second round picks for a #6 overall. And no team is going to trade back 3 first round picks to move up one slot.

    I mean, just like Noah....there had to some forced, unreal drama in it to make it entertaining.

    Maybe one day a team will actually allow like a Hard Knocks style documentary to be made about their Draft Day maneuverings....including letting someone in on what they really think of various players that are on the board.

  • Only downer for me was that weasle Joe Banner getting a cameo.

    Evil fucking elf.

    I noticed that too and was just like really?

  • does swenson's burgers come with a side of garner vag?

  • no I think that's Arthur treachers fish and tits.

    WSS

  • Did Mack hold out before agreeing to be in it ?

    Maybe he tested the water with over movies before committing

  • I hear the movie is tanking pretty bad...or maybe it is doing right what it ought to be doing. Oculus, Rio2, Captain America did better.

    Of course one is a horror movie, the other a kids movie, one a superhero movie. Those genres always do better than sports movie.

    In fact, per IMDB, here are the all time rankings of sports movies amongst the Top 600 grossing movies of all time:

    #76 The Blind Side

    #226 The Waterboy

    #234 The Longest Yard

    #247 Jerry McGuire

    #263 Talladaga Nights

    #396 Rocky III

    #408 Seabuiscuit

    #428 Blades of Glory (???)

    #434 Rocky

    #449 The Karate Kid ???

    #452 Dodgeball

    #496 A League of Their Own

    And that is it...one sports movie, sort of (though it is far more of a human interest story) in the Top 200.

    NONE of the "great" sports movies over the year are even really on this list.

    No Field of Dreams, no The Natural, no Pride of the Yankees etc. etc. etc.

    Sports movies just don't do as well as Superhero blockbusters, kids movies etc.
