The Blind Side is a bad movie.

[Direckshun]

It's got a feelgood plot and everything, but geez.

Outside of Sandra Bullock, the acting is horrid.

The writing is super predictable.

It's like if someone was to write fan-fiction about Michael Oher's personal story.

Too cheesey. All of the "bad guys" in the film are hilariously dumb caricatures, and the characters don't talk or interact like real people.

Anyway.

What were we talking about?

[RealSNR]

Nick Saban is a fucking terrible actor. He should go kill himself.

[HoneyBadger]

Is this about your sex life?

[Direckshun]

Nick Saban is a ****ing terrible actor. He should go kill himself.

You know who's a bad actor?

THE DUDE PLAYING MICHAEL OHER.

DON'T YOU THINK

JUST MAYBE

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DROP SOME DIME BRINGING IN FUCKING SANDRA FUCKING BULLOCK

YOU SHOULD MAYBE TRY RECRUITING A LEAD ACTOR WHO KNOWS WHAT THE SHIT HE'S DOING

STANDING AND STARING IS NOT ACTING

IT'S JUST BEING WOODEN

Why are you watching The Blind Side on ABC Family right now when The Expendables is on Spike?!

Really? I totally bought the scene where the little kid is teaching Oher about the rules of football, offensive and defensive formations, etc.

Yes, horrible.

[Direckshun]

Also, I'm just going to come out and say it: the movie has no plot.

A really big dude is adopted out of poverty and, surprise, is really good at playing football.

Some colleges recruit him, he picks one of them, has to dodge some administrative hurdles and he's there.

Roll credits.

Apparently the real Oher was kind of pissed about how dumb they made him look.

[Direckshun]

Apparently the real Oher was kind of pissed about how dumb they made him look.

Ha! Really?

I don't blame him. He's basically a gigantic 9 year old in the film.

[Direckshun]

And in the movie, didn't he get like a 96 in protective instincts?

WTF is protective instincts? Is there such a thing as a test for it? And who the fuck would test poorly at it?

Sociopaths or Psychopaths?

[KC_Connection]

It was mediocre. Sandra Bullock was hot, though.

[RunKC]

The 2nd best actor after Sandra Bullock was IronE Singleton.

Go T Dog!

[Bump]

I still haven't found out if they really do have standardized 'Protective Instincts' tests.

Worst line in a move ever. "He scored in the top 1% in protective instincts. OMG"

Where do they test public schools for protective instincts?

[Direckshun]

And why would they, anyway?

"Well, this guy's going to really struggle in math class. But at least the guy's loyal to his siblings. That definitely matters, somehow."

[Demonpenz]

Football moves are lame in general. Giant hits...mad dog MLB's no one seems to carry any assignments.

[luv]

The daughter, I can't remember her name, spoke in Springfield. She said that the movie was pretty much spot on except for a few liberties. The actress who portrayed her got several bruises from playing volleyball. She asked the daughter if she got that many bruises. The daughter said she never played volleyball. The actress asked the director why she was having to play volleyball when the daughter didn't play. The director asked if she'd rather learn how to pole vault. Apparently, the daughter was like the #2 pole vaulter in the state. The actress said she'd stick with volleyball.

Also she said that Michael slept on an air mattress at first, and not the couch. It was back in the day when air mattresses weren't really made to hold that much weight, so he'd wake up to a nearly flat mattress every morning.

She said that Sandra Bullock played her mother perfectly.

They should have had Keenan Thompson play Michael Oher. Dude's a fucking baus at acting.

[Deberg_1990]

Tim McGraw proved he has the chops to make it in Hollywood.

[luv]

She also said that her mom went up to Flacco at a game one time and told him he was holding onto the ball too long. Flacco said something to Oher. He went to the mom and told her not to say stuff like that. The next time Flacco walked by her, she looked at him and said, "Tattle tell."

[RealSNR]

They're like midichlorians, only for offensive tackles instead of Jedis.

OOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

WAT UP WIT DAT

[Bowser]

1) I was totally underwhelmed with the movie, other than Sandra Bullock.

2) Go home Direckshun you're drunk.

[cosmo20002]

I know its Hollywood and all, but the biggest stretch in the movie is that the family, after 'rescuing' him, taught him to play football.

Dude was First Team All-State and ranked as a national top-5 offensive lineman prospect. This was BEFORE the family met him.

[Hammock Parties]

I'd like to see a porno version where Michael Oher gets it on with Sandra Bullock.

Cus all I could think about was how hot MILF Sandra Bullock was.

[Bump]

But on a serious note about this film. I felt it created a good depth into the life of a young hoodlum. Not until some wealth was brought into his life by some kind, nurturing and hot white lady. See, without money. One can not have happiness and Michael Oher had not that until money found him. It's a classic American tale expressing just how wonderful it must be to be rich and every once in a while, a rich white person will help out a black hood.

Hmm. I did not know that.

My favorite part of the movie was when Sandra Bullock got naked and wrestled with the NCAA investigator lady to save Oher's eligibility.

Oh. Was that actually in the movie or was that something I added in my mind later? I don't remember. It was so vivid.

[chiefzilla1501]

Good story, shitty movie. I think I've heard people say the book is actually pretty good.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Terrible fucking movie. Also, Springfield sounds awful

LMAO I heard Oher hated the movie. Said they made him look so challenged he couldn't believe the main character was supposed to be him.

Sandra Bullocks does nothing for me. Her acting is garbage, her movies are garbage, and she is not hot.

You may be thinking of The Simpsons movie.

[GoChargers]

Decent but unspectacular sob story. Definitely overrated back when it came out though.

[TimeForWasp]

I didn't know who Micheal Whore was till this movie came out.

[penchief]

Sandra Bullock wasn't even that great. I lke her more in comedies. Still trying to figure how the hell she won an academy award for that role. Muat have been a horrible year for lead actresses.

[Saul Good]

Watched some of it last night...terrible movie.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

The daughter, I can't remember her name, spoke in Springfield. She said that the movie was pretty much spot on except for a few liberties.

Well, she lied if she said that Oher being a big, dumb, ox was accurate. He didn't struggle like that in school. He's a lot smarter than the movie made him out to be.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

She also said that her mom went up to Flacco at a game one time and told him he was holding onto the ball too long. Flacco said something to Oher. He went to the mom and told her not to say stuff like that. The next time Flacco walked by her, she looked at him and said, "Tattle tell."

Now that's pretty funny.

[MahiMike]

Bullock is a bitch.

[Dartgod]

Meh, I enjoyed the movie. I don't really care how accurate it was.

[blaise]

I never watched it. I don't generally like those kitschy sports movies.

[luv]

It wasn't really portrayed very well in the movie, but I think it was more of the fact that he was undereducated (as in teachers not caring or taking the time with him). They didn't exactly say how far along he came in his academics.

I agree though. The actor didn't do a good job in that regard either.

[Radar Chief]

Well, it was no Water Boy but it wasn’t that bad.

[Canofbier]

My new girlfriend (whose movie repertoire is almost entirely limited to bad romantic comedies) got all taken aback when I said I hadn't seen this movie. Sounds like I'm going to have to watch this pretty soon. :(

[Dayze]

Well, it was no Water Boy but it wasn’t that bad.

LMAO

[BigRedChief]

It wasn't that bad. It wasn't meant to be a classic movie. It was poorly acted and formulaic but so are most movies. I agree with others, McGraw does seem to maybe have some acting talent.

Bullock was hot in the movie. Of all the suck ass movies that come out every year, this one didn't even make the top 50 bad movies of the year.

[Dayze]

I thought it was entertaining. I'm sure alot of movies like this are exaggerated in terms of the storyline; why they were made etc.

[Dayze]

I watched Saw III, IV, and V yesterday. I've never had any desire to see any of them. But, at the insistance of my brother etc, I gave it a go.

I'll admit, I was entertained. lol. I still need to see the first 2 though.

[luv]

As a lover of bad romantic comedies, I will let you know that this is not one. Just a good ol' feel good movie. But, hey, there's football and football coaches trying to act in it. I don't think you'll suffer too much. :)

[Predarat]

It was decent/mediocre/notbadbutnotgood. Typical hollywood shit but better then a remake.

[Brock]

I thought Nick Saban did an excellent job of acting human.

You do realize that this is simply you're opinion that the majority of folks nation-wide disagree with you...

[blaise]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he knows it's his opinion.

[Saul Good]

Oher's character was such a stereotypical "big, quiet black guy is a gentle giant, but he will crush you if you are mean to his rich, white family who show him love in a way his original shitty, poor, black family didn't/couldn't...also, he seems dumb and is easily confused by his new life with white people, but he has a wisdom about him that shines through when you get to know him" that it ruined the entire story.

Add in the "black bad guys are so violent that they pull out their guns any time someone even thinks of disagreeing with them" trope, and you've got a true abortion of a film.

It's so patronizing that it ends up being horribly racist while trying to be the opposite. The black guy isn't a person...he's a pet. He's too dumb to take care of himself, so a family has to take care of him. In return, he is loyal to the family, and the viewer's heart breaks when someone dares wrong this sweet and gentle creature.

[Brock]

So you're saying it must be good because most people thought it was good. Isn't that kind of dumb?

Most people thought Avatar was good too.

Sandra Bullock is a dirty little girl and needs a big ole spankin'.

It was not a bad movie, but it was boring and unremarkable and seemed hard to believe.

I almost always hate sports movies because they take a story and make it predictable, schmaltzy, and boring. Every sports movie is basically like every other, a bland "feel good" movie.

Sports movies generally suck because they take what you love about sports, passion competition and unpredictability and turn it into some PG rated Disney nonsense

I also hate sports movies because whenever they show sports action it's incredibly obvious that the actor has never actually played a sport in their life.
