Okay… it was obvious that he was hated… I was just saying that I couldn’t get whinny/spineless Ross out of my head when I saw him.

perfect casting actually. They loathed Sobel.

Read the book. Sobel was hated. He turned in a bitter old man who blamed the men of Easy Company for everything.

Crossroads (night assignment against Germans while in Holland/Belgium?)

This one – and the Carentan one – are favorites of mine.

Episdoes 4 & 8 are movie-level. Crossroads (night assignment against Germans while in Holland/Belgium?) and the one with Colin Hanks where they cross the German border on that raid.

Pacific to me was a let down, not even in the same league

I thought this too at first, but after watching some of it again I’ve become more impressed with the Pacific. BOB is still much better, mostly because you get to know the main characters much better, but the scope of the Pacific is something else.

The other problem is that the Pacific war is just so nasty I think it’s hard to really capture it.

there’s someone he looks exactly like, some goofy celeb, but i can’t put my finger on it.

Martin Freeman.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was the only Eastwood production that I actively disliked.

So you never saw Firefox or The Rookie?

I always just picture him doing blow off big fake titties.

Me too for my game. LETS GO MARTIN! Just look at that PGA tour picture and not like the guy.

Clint Eastwood is overrated.

“unforgiven” will forever keep him from being overrated. best western since Once upon a time in the west.

Clint Eastwood is overrated.

I wouldn’t go that far. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was the only Eastwood production that I actively disliked.

Flags of Our Fathers was probably the most boring movie I have ever seen.

aside from the actual invasion and war scenes I wasn’t too crazy about the film. well done, but could have been much better.

Bob Hope Tourney is on easier desert courses where a pretty low score wins, so you need a guy that can power it and make bunches of birdies. Go with w/ a guy proven to win by going low.

Just curious, what is your basis for picking? Trying to hit FIRST place or do you get lots of points for top 10′s… kind of impacts how you pick, also – can you pick guys more than once? How many choices you have to make, 1? 4?

i have a bunch of different criteria…first, think of the course and what type of score will win and then look for players with stats that correlate…like if it’s a birdie fest, i look at putts per GIR and driving distance. for something like a us open or quail hollow or a fedex event, i look at driving distance plus average proximity from fairway, GIR’s, scrambling and putts gained. for narrow courses, driving accuracy and GIR’s and for long, straight courses, driving distance and putts gained are the most important.

so i get my idea of guys that fit that criteria and then think of who’s been playing in good form of late. then i take whomever’s had the most success in previous tourneys here.

then i just guess.

this week i took laird.

Agree… couldn’t make it through it. Clint Eastwood is overrated.

Letters from Iwo Jima was so much better.

Best suicide montage ever.

I’m not sure how you can compare those two to Tiny Toons and Animaniacs.

really? you don’t see the comparison? Tiny Toons was nothing more than an abstract view on Britain’s involvement in the African theatre during world war 2.
