sodbuster Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 The movie is going to suck, and very likely bomb. We should all be happy it's not about the Bills. At least we had Second String.
OCinBuffalo Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Is your signature really necessary on a football website? It's more than a little ironic that you urge people to be patient about Manuel but have already arrived at a conclusion regarding the AHCA. Both were situations that needed fixing and in both instances, the powers that be did their best to address a glaring shortcoming. Let's be patient about both. If the Bills' official website had an issue after the Bills selected Manuel I wouldn't think any differently about how Manuel might perform on the field. This is football board, with a politics component. Most would argue one without the other, especially here, is an inferior product. Tim Russert. Enough said. Let me take this opportunity to help you with 2 things: 1. If you want to use perfectly legitimate analogies, that involve politics, you can't do it here, on this part of the board. You might be able to use analogies that involve squirrels, and getting dogs, or people of similar IQ/attention span/information level, to attend to them, instead of something else, but you can't discuss politics here. The mods will give you points if you do. 2. If you want to try and make your point on PPP, I invite you to start a thread there. You will find reasonable, enlightened, fast-paced and stimulating discussion...and perhaps you will suceed in making your case. In all cases, I won't engage in political discussion here, so tough schit if you don't like my sig. Perhaps you should go to PPP, and try to convince me to change it?

Maury Ballstein Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 So is Costner gonna draft Brady Quinn or Tim Couch ? Looks turrrrble. Dennis Leary rules though.

Again though, I just wonder you bother with the signature here if you won't discuss politics on this forum. Oh well. Go Bills.

youngunz Posted December 25, 2013 Posted December 25, 2013 Funny thing ... notice the colors of the movie are Bills colors (Red/White/Blue) not Browns.
Malazan Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 The tax incentives in Ohio for film production, where better then those in Upstate New York. http://www.buffalone...e_location.html A good thing too since those tax breaks never work out and usually bring in about 50 cents to each dollar spent and that isn't generally to 'local' workers.
K D Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) The movie is going to suck, and very likely bomb. We should all be happy it's not about the Bills. I really hope you are right. In true Bills fashion we blew it at the last second. Just another punch to the gut for this franchise, especially if the movie is good Edited December 26, 2013 by kdiggz
Kelly the Dog Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 I really hope you are right. In true Bills fashion we blew it at the last second. Just another punch to the gut for this franchise, especially if the movie is good I read the screenplay for it and it was absolutely horrible. And the three other guys I know that read said the same thing. It was written by two guys who seem to know little about the NFL or the draft or the Bills. Some of it was preposterous. It, amazingly, won the blacklist award last year but I guarantee the people that voted for it knew nothing about football either. Football fans, its audience, I can't see liking it. It's possible they completely rewrote it but I doubt it. Kostner and Reitman have been making awful choices of late, too. It was written and bought because of the charm and comedy that Moneyball had when Brad Pitt was wheeling and dealing for players with Jonah Hill. But this is nothing like that, and that was accurate. This is farcical and stupid.
boyst Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Costner is a very good actor but this does not look like a very good movie. It's a take on Money Ball or something. Very seldom do football movies come out well. There are maybe 3 that are actually very good movies and reflect the sport but still end up doing it with too much drama The Program Any Given Sunday Ace Ventura
agardin Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 North Dallas Forty The Longest Yard All the right moves Off the top of my head these weren't bad. I actually liked Any Given Sunday as well. Not a great list though, baseball would have better films.
l< j Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 A good thing too since those tax breaks never work out and usually bring in about 50 cents to each dollar spent and that isn't generally to 'local' workers. As an Ohioan, I have to strongly agree here. We are paying money so an out of state production company can come set up shop here for a few months, maybe 6, and then go home. Doesn't add up. Just allows the state government to say it is doing something to create jobs, when this tax credit does next to nothing. kj
boyst Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 North Dallas Forty The Longest Yard All the right moves Off the top of my head these weren't bad. I actually liked Any Given Sunday as well. Not a great list though, baseball would have better films. Those three, especially the Longest Yard, had a larger narrative then the actual game of football. Any Given Sunday was a story around the game. All The Right Moves was a story about a teenager and his angst with the system, growing up, blablabla American Pie. The Longest Yard, especially the first, was about comedy and humor and making a story fun and funny. It was football meets Waterboy. I don't remember enough of North Dallas Forty. I obviously mentioned ace Ventura as a joke, by the way.
CardinalScotts Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 dont get the anger - seems like your looking for anything
bisonbrigade Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Funny thing ... notice the colors of the movie are Bills colors (Red/White/Blue) not Browns. I saw that too. LOL
agardin Posted December 26, 2013 Posted December 26, 2013 Not sure if that reply was for me or if I am missing something but no anger here. Just throwing out a couple of football movies. The one I forgot was Rudy, cheesy yes but I did like it.

Punch Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I think it pans to Buffalo because they're on the phone with the Bills. Your inferiority complex is showing. Can't wait to see this, but it sucks that it wasn't about our team. That's right--- they also show Arrowhead Stadium when Costner is speaking with another GM on the phone. I think it's more likely that, rather than a slam against the Bills, it's more likely a gesture of simply acknowledging them because they were the depicted franchise/city throughout the scriptwriting and development process. Nothing more.
