  1. I thought the Tarkin CGI was amazing. I thought it was a lookalike actor until a few tells slipped through. The Young Leia CGI was terribly obvious and shoddy tho.

    Overall, I thought this movie was incredible. Yeah the characterizations weren't that great - I loved Jyn but she went from "I couldn't care less about the Rebellion" to being Captain Rebel almost instantly - but I'm glad we finally got a movie that showed just exactly how bad it was under the Empire and what the Rebels had to go through during their Rebellion before Luke, Han and Leia emerged to swing the tide.

    Speaking of which, I gotta give credit to Disney for letting Gareth go dark. Star Wars, like it or not, is a kid thing and I can't imagine seeing this at 6 or 7. I cried for 3 days when Optimus Prime died and here we had wholesale sci-fi D-Day type sacrifice. Did love that they returned Vader to being the badass killing machine that terrified kids. That final 5 minute rampage was definitely the mark-out moment of the year.

    Then again, quibbles aside, I pretty much loved everything about Rogue One. It was the Dirty Dozen with blasters!

  2. Nothing sums up the Browns like Steelers having first and goal with 10 sec left. Two pass plays and horrible clock management and time expires. But penalty on Cleveland gives Pittsburgh an untimed down. Gamblin' Tomlin goes for the TD, Cleveland breaks up the pass...but PI on the corner. Another untimed down. Tomlin goes again...and finally Bell scores the TD.

  3. Lol Gruden talking up Geno and he promptly does Geno stuff. Jets are so dumb. Everybody could see Fitzpatrick's regression coming yet they caved to the NY media and signed him to that contract even tho they knew better. Now they kinda have to run Geno out there for a few games. What a terrible organization.

    I just took the dog on a 15 minute walk How the fuck are the Panthers and Niners still playing?

    For real. I was basically tied with my opponent in fantasy after the 1:00 games but didn't realize they were basically just starting the 4th quarter when every other game was ending. How the hell did they get that far behind?

  5. Steelers were lucky to escape with that win. What a gift on that fumble call. Of course the referees were horrible and called about a billion penalties wrong or missed all game so I guess it all balances out.
