Tell me what's good about it, because what I've heard is that it's basically a story without hope. Stephen King ranked it third among his top 10 movies of the year...and said he could hear the projectionist sobbing behind him.

Hmmm...I guess it depends on your interpretation of it. But it's by no means a "happy" ending.

EDIT: Of course, I've heard the movie is even more hopeless than the book.

it's not without hope, it simply happens in a world so bleak that one's perspective on hope changes. Everything else aside, it's about a man's relationship with his son.

I didn't see the movie though. I loved the book, but it's very dark.

the movie doesn't add some of the most brutal imagery of the book but it's still pretty true to the story.

It's kind of uplifting due to the strong bond the son and father have. That never goes away and the story ends on a high note, but it's one high note in a whole symphony of lows notes. Really anytime I see a good movie I feel good no matter what it's about just because it's a good movie.

I read about two pages of that book and put it down

Will read it in about 10 years

Not sure what caused the whole apocolyptic situation in the movie, but

from what I could tell from the trailer, there will be no need to read it in ten years. We will probably be living it.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point.

      So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.

      Free agent WR targets?

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
