oh wtf that was over a week ago!

I just think they failed at transforming Jamie Foxx into a likable, heroic character in the end, so even though Clyde is supposed to go from a hero to a villain, you're still rooting for him to succeed in the end.

no i agree with that...jaime foxx annoyed me throughout the movie.

The ending was horrible. They even make a point of saying "We can't evacuate the building, he's got cameras everywhere. He'd see people leaving." But he couldn't see them take the briefcase out? And then, somehow, they make it back with the breifcase before he does? A much better ending would have been to seal the passage with him inside.

Yeah, and they spend the whole movie making Clyde out to be this super genius, yet he didn't rig any sort of booby traps in his hideout? Didn't even notice anyone had been in it?

The ending could have been better, I dont know how, but what they did was weak...I did feel like Clyde was the hero throughout the movie, I wanted him to get every chump that was involved, I felt for the guy. Then the hero dies at the end because the villian the entire movie finally gets one step ahead after not knownig what was happening next once and kills him. Weak...Good f__kin movie, though...

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
