Fuck your guys are fluffybunnies, was browsing through this thread the other day and only just get to the latest posts showing the above lovely ladies. Next minute the mrs pops her head through the window behind me asking what I'm looking at while she was outside with the kids..
Nothing just on my rugby forum... 'ah huh' was her response.This was the first post I thought of when I saw the Lions are doing training for their peripheral vision....

@Bones this tour? Clive had a spatial awareness trainer in 2005, peripheral isn't too different.

@Crucial said in Six Nations 2017:
Interesting to see that Steady Eddie is going down the Clive Woodward path and employing the same 'vision coach' that SCW did for the Lions tour to NZ.
Apparently the players need to improve their peripheral vision because they spend too long with their eyes on their cell phones.
Maybe the better way to improve hand eye coordination is to pass the ball around without it being pre-structured? Just saying.

In the past few weeks I have seen Hacksaw Ridge, Arrival and Hell or High Water. All three of those movies are stellar. All five stars IMO.
Saw arrival too and thought it was great, will be seeing the other two . Would hell or high water survive the switch to the small screen? From the trailers I'm pretty certain Hacksaw ridge wouldn't.
I saw Arrival, thought it started well then meandered into an average film.
Really enjoyed (well you know what I mean) Hacksaw Ridge though, the brutal indiscriminate war scenes are a sight to behold, as you said elsewhere, reminiscent to the Saving Private Ryan opening.

Well first post for quite a while and finally watched "Hunt for the Wilderpeople".
After seeing all the reviews here... it did not disappoint. What a really good movie to just sit and watch and enjoy.
Mrs WC and I both spent a lot of the time laughing and Mrs WC had to keep asking me to rewind or translate for her as at times the Kiwi accents were just a little strong for her to follow.
Another movie I watched on Netflix recently which I really enjoyed was "The Siege of Jadotville". An excellent war movie and from what I've read, quite true to the battle on which it was based and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good war movie without all the usual American flag waving.

I concur with the Jadotville summary!

Its on the Netflix "My List" to watch. Sounds good.
Add the 13th to your list as well.
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
"Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.""
This one will stir the emotions

@dK I was just looking at that one over the weekend. I added to my list but thought it looks like a rather heavy topic and one that may be best suited for a day when you are in the mood for "heavy".
As a newbie to Netflix, just joining late December, I used to be a bit of a skeptic but now I'm a complete convert. The excellent thing is, I've 9 month free on Telstra at the moment so I'm trying to make the most of it.
The only problem is, having enough time to watch all the various TV series and movies in the "My List".
And this is "only" the Aussie version and I'm now tempted to try to get to the US version as I've heard the content available there would make my Foxtel subscription mostly redundant (except for the Rugby of course).

The Accountant - Ben Affleck been a busy man last 12 months or so with directing and acting projects!
Anyways, good entertaining action flick, if not a little long, check your expectation of a moving or gripping story at the door.

Finding Neverland. This was actually a really awesome, powerful movie. A childs imagination is a powerful thing. Watching my boy he spends half his time in a completely different world with the games he plays out in his head.
That final scene is probably the closest I've come to crying in a movie.

Hell or highwater. Great movie about 2 brothers robbing banks and a pair of Texas Rangers led by an elderly unpolitically correct Jeff Bridges and his half american Indian partner. 9 gun toting Texans outta 10
Watched this tonight. Hell or High Water was written by the same guy who wrote Sicario. There are heaps of great lines in the movie.
I'd give it 4 t-bones out of 5

Hidden Figures - really interesting story, well acted, if a little too heavy on some of the THIS BAD/THIS GOOD moments. Worth a watch if you are space/mathematically inclined.
4 NASA legends out of 5 walking miles to the coloured bathroom wtfuckery.Passengers - apart from the ick factor of waking up the pretty girl and basically handing her a death sentence, this movie was pretty damned dull. And the plot was kind of stupid. (The scene with the pool water losing gravity was quite visually cool though) Pratt and Lawrence did their best, but not much to work with. Liked Michael Sheen as the bartending robot.

@Mokey Having watched it, your score for Passengers seems overly generous.

@antipodean You are probably right.

okay, so in a state of boredom last night, and feeling the need to watch something stupid, i watched "The Brothers Grimsby".
Holy fuck, that is probably the stupidest movie i have ever watched.
And that said, i laughed out loud more at that movie than many other higher acclaimed "comedies" released recently. That i am a juvenile who finds Mark Strong getting smashed in the face by an elephant cock funny has probably something to do with it.
