Did you see Molly’s Game? He was embarrassingly bad in it.

Most sports movies are like that.

No. I generally avoid him. He can only emote mild consternation and slight confusion. Every once in a while he’ll land in a movie I gotta see, like Draft Day or Open Range (he worked in that one, his character was confused and concerned through the whole movie) but for the most part nope.

Saw it a couple years back - fascinating to watch the way the trade scheme unfolds at the end - sort of like the way the guys take down the Duke brothers in “Trading Places” - good movie.....

yes he was in message in a bottle which had a terrible but predictable ending. reminds me of some pearls of wisdom passed down from my Grandma. Don’t dive in and try and rescue without a flotation device and without knowing how well you’re going to swim.

Swam on the college swim team? Could swim 100 laps a day? Don’t swim for 10 years. dive into the deep end of the pool and you know you’re going to drown if you don’t make it to the side walls in time.

In a panicked state of drowning, whoever you’re trying to rescue is going to grab on and give you the death hug trying to stay afloat with total disregard for you.

I liked Yellowstone. Especially the part where Costner hired ex-cons to work on the ranch, branded them, and if they tried to leave, had them taken out a shot. Good times.
