the real answer is her, the actual answer is you
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

if you grew up during the time that the main character worships youll probably love it...if not i could see someone hating it....the movies humor flopped most of the time

He said GoT is his favorite show.  Surprised that didn't move it instantly to 6.5/10.

I liked the movie.   Gun scene with bullies and the aftermath was strange but was on board besides that. 

Curious about your take on this igy

i dont disagree with everything he said....he makes some very valid points....but its a  typical overwrought way too many words self impoirtant grantland piece.....that site always has killed me because they write these wannabe new yorker opinion pieces that usually rip other people for trying to be too intellectual for their own good when that is how 90% of grantland articles read

it almost feels as if morris heard the n word was possibly used too much in the movie before he saw it and he wrote half that article before he even went to sundance

Morris did win the Pulitzer at the Boston Globe, but that's how most of his pieces read to me.  He seems to go for super insightful 24:7 when sometimes a movie review should just be a movie review.

in fairness to him if he was still at the boston globe that would have read better...problem is thats how everyone sounds on grantland...whether its talking about game of thrones....deflategate....chip kellys genius or the evils of the ncaa

everyone is trying to be like neil degrasse tyson on steroids and it just becomes so overbearing....their over eagerness to sound intellectual is just so palpable

but if you took most of their stuff and individually placed the articles in different newspaper editorial pages or in the wash post sunday outlook section or the new york times arts section you wouldnt notice it as much

Here's a hint. Don't watch movies with Marky Mark in them.
