NFT: Nausea warning : 80 for Brady

Ron from Ninerland : 1/30/2023 2:05 pm
My wife just told me she wants to see this movie. In a panic I thought it was about you know who. But then she told me it was Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda and Sally Field. Ok, I thought, I can live with a Geriatric chick flick.

But then I find out that the plot is these elderly women are dreaming of meeting Tom Brady. Both Tom Brady and Gronk are in the movie. Uggh!
sounds like something out of the onion

I can't imagine the demographic of the person who says "I want to go to the movie theater and see that"

even at home on Netflix sounds brutal, but someone wants to pay to go and see that? Ouch.

Who is the target demographic for this movie? Is there some massive demographic of women who are 70+ and love football? I don't get it at all.

Jane Fonda's character meeting Gronk -

Fonda [in wonderment]: GRONK! So big.
Gronkowski [smiling]: Thank you.

It got a chuckle out of me. It's honestly the way Gronk sells it, he's actually kind of funny. I can't help it, I like the dude.
It's weird  
Greg from LI : 1/30/2023 3:38 pm : link
Gronk has become more visible in retirement than he was as an active player.

I leave you all with this as a palate cleanser.

We're not close to that old, and I think the wife is a fan of some of these old ladies. I think she thinks old ladies getting in trouble is cute, maybe.

In any case, she is welcome to grab a friend and go see this. I'd rather go to the dentist.

tricked me into going to the movies to see Bridget Jones Diary. 2001 or 2002, I forget. But it's literally the last time I was in a movie theater.

She said we're going to dinner and a movie with another couple. My mistake not vetting the movie first.

And about 20 minutes in, I looked at her and made the universal "upset stomach" face and hand motion on my belly and I went to the lobby and played video games. I was there about a half hour and went back in. Made it another 15 min or so, before making the upset stomach face again and playing old school arcade games the rest of the night until they came out and i got busted.

This movie sounds worse than Bridget Jones Diary, which for the record was horrible.

That's the critic score. Never pay attention to the critic score. The audience score is what is relevant.

yes! I agree plus the sweet spot to me is when the critics hover around 40-50 and audience score is at least 20 higher. Those seem to be the movies I like the best.

LOL at 'Cocaine Bear' - both flicks seem like the Onion dreamed them up.
here's the official plot summary for 'Cocaine Bear' -  
Del Shofner : 1/30/2023 9:16 pm : link
I think it would be even better if '80 for Brady' were combined with 'Cocaine Bear' and they all "assemble[d] in a Georgia forest ..."

"After a 500-pound black bear consumes a significant amount of cocaine and embarks on a drug-fueled rampage, an eccentric gathering of cops, criminals, tourists, and teenagers assemble in a Georgia forest."

That completely depends on what you are looking for, both have value IMO. But right now there’s just 12 posted critic reviews so it’s currently not worth much.

There’s a handful of critics who I think have a good pulse on what’s good or not, and I look forward to their write ups.

I read somewhere (twitter?) that after ingesting the $2M of cocaine there was a 15-minute period (before it died) where that bear was the deadliest apex predator on the planet.

what year did you find it? I was first on RT at least before August 1999 which I think was pretty early. I remember because I used to search for movies on Fridays while working at a company I left in August 1999.

when they were filming some of the scenes from Fever Pitch.

In my section they were asking us to cheer at strange times and filming it, do the wave, sing sweet caroline, etc. even knowing it was fake and for a movie it was nauseating.

But you have to hand it to Brady boosting his status in the single female retirement community right as he wades into that pool.
