True, but we had terrible coaches so that mitigated any talent we brought in.

Chimps are very strong and unpredictable, so it doesn’t require possession or infection. Just a pissed off chimp will do the trick…

Apparently it's true that when chimps attack, they go for the face, which Ben does in this movie, and it leads to some gruesome deaths.

I thought that the wife said that Gladys was her great aunt, or something to that effect, even though Gladys told the principal that the mom was her baby sister.

My ears bled from Dennis Quaid's atrocious attempt at a Cajun accent in that movie.

Yet another Hollywood film that failed to understand that Cajuns don't live in NOLA.

They introduced things that went nowhere.

True, but that happens in just about every horror movie. That, and people making stupid decisions, but if they didn't, the plot could not advance. What I was curious about was the possibility that Ben had been experimented on somehow by the scientist wife, or perhaps abused in some way. The director decided not to go down that road and stuck with the rabies explanation ala Cujo.

The heart locket she and her best friend had. It was a layup to use those as some sort of weapon or something in their multiple interactions with the deranged chimp.

I never got the impression that the heart necklace would be used as a weapon. I guess it's because my niece and her friend each have something similar. I just took it at face value that it was a sign of the girls' friendship.

quote:
Or how about our final girl also getting bludgeoned multiple times by the chimp yet somehow not a scratch on her?

Lucy didn't have blood all over her at the end? I do agree that Ben beat the shite out of her during the final confrontation, so I thought she would've been more seriously injured. He did break her hand though.

It wasn't perfect, but I thought it was fun.

Looks like the chimp is possessed or infected by something that makes it homicidal.

It’s made very clear that Ben has rabies. If you pay attention over the opening credits, they say that Ben is the most intelligent chimp ever seen. He was raised by a scientist who was a linguistics specialist as pretty much a member of the family.

It’s pretty terrible sadly

I disagree. I enjoyed it immensely. Great practical effects and an awesome music score. Ben was played by an actor in a suit rather than using CGI. I think that really elevated the movie. If you go in expecting a fun, creature feature with some surprisingly good character development, I think you’ll be pleased. Word to the wise, it’s very gory with some pretty gruesome deaths.

Could it have come from Austin Thomas? Maybe he has a contact on the inside who gave him the information.

Who knows? I wouldn't be surprised if somehow Ole Miss is behind this.

There are multiple articles online claiming that Miami should’ve been flagged for PI on the last play. One even claims that Ole Miss would’ve definitely won had they one more play.

Are the same characters in all of the books in the series? I didn’t realize there are like six of them.

Interesting. Hope it's good. I love the Robin Hood story but I haven't felt like we've had a proper great modern movie yet. I'd love to see a 3 part movie series of Robin Hood done proper. Give me a traditional Robin Hood figure and place him in a semi-historical world.

The 2010 film with Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett has been the closest thing to an "accurate" historical version that I'm aware of. I enjoyed it. Great actors, but I felt that aging up Robin and Marian into their 40's took something away from the story. There's currently a series on MGM+ that chronicles Robin's origins, his initial meeting with Maid Marian and the other outlaws, and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The leads are all in their early to mid 20's, except for the Sheriff. and it takes some serious liberties with the legend (race and gender swapping characters), but it's not a bad show.

Don't worry, Mayor Coach is going to Detroit to figure out how to fix this.

From what I hear from my parents and friends still living in BR, Sid Edwards has been nothing short of a huge disappointment. I know it will take a while to undo the damage that Broome has done, but has he done one single positive thing since being sworn into office? This is a huge opportunity for Republican leadership in the city/parish, and it looks like he's squandering it. He doesn't need to be going to Detroit. He needs to be looking at other comparable-sized cities in the south, like Birmingham, Mobile, Columbia, etc.

I honestly have heard great things about this show ~ not just from the gay community.

My brother-in-law (yes, he’s gay) convinced me to give this series a watch. He read the first two books in the series and didn’t really like them because he said they were pretty smutty, yet he was surprised at how good the series was. I knew nothing about the books prior to watching the show. I thought it was very well done and fantastically acted all the way around. There is a good bit of sex in the first four episodes, but it tapers off considerably in the final two, in favor of some serious character development. The final episode is all about love and acceptance, not just from others, but from within oneself. If you have an issue with gay people, then definitely don’t watch, but if you’re open to a non-traditional love story, give it a chance. It’s not preachy or woke in how it deals with the subject matter.
