Who knows how embedded twats are working from day to day -
Movie early access screenings are available tomorrow.
I like WASHINGTON in this one -
Smoke weed and talk shit material for this month
Yes, my kids got a bunch of paw patrol shit they don't need. -
Movie review, by me:
Met expectations, which were to convey enough of what Joe Rantz went through and what the team became in the ~2 hours available in a movie. The aesthetics and cinematography of the rowing scenes were well done. It's jarring to see us practicing without mountains or conifer trees in the background. Impossible to cram the book into that movie; at the end of the day the movie is only loosely based on the book and if you separate the two you will enjoy the movie more. Far easier to enjoy the movie if you haven't read the book or know the story. Still, it was awesome. The wife (never read the book) loved it. The kid (only read the young readers version 8 years ago and doesn't remember the details) also loved it. It got the kid to demand to read the full book which she has already started on.
Having our fight song sung in a movie was sweet.
I got free pub with my Washington Rowing pullover from a couple of rowing families who made it to the early screening and had also read the book.
I'll probably go see it on the big screen once or twice more. -
Thanks for the review @whlinder! I’m unfortunately going to have to wait until January to see it, but I’m looking forward to it.whlinder said:Movie review, by me:

BTW, for those of you that have Spotify Premium, you can listen to the film soundtrack and the audiobook now. -
Where did they practice back then?

Lake Washington

44% Rotten Tomatoes score but almost all of the reviews I read seemed like butthurt, smelling own farts art house drivel.
