I was intrigued by the trailer but not sure....the Dr Strange multiverse disappointed me a bit to be honest so that may be clouding my judgment.

How can anyone be against a trailer with that iconic Kenny Loggins song in it? That's essential soundtrack for those growing up in the 80's, along with Flashdance, Purple Rain and the Rocky movies.

Don't like TLR now so I'm not wasting 2-3 hours of my time in the theater.....that's what Sox games are for. But you enjoy.

You don't have four of the main actors from the first film that wasn't all that great to begin with but had one of the best soundtracks and "cool aerial" cinematography for that time period. Tom Cruise is forever polarizing. And Val Kilmer has always had a reputation as being one of Hollywood's greatest jerks.

I couldn't really argue when my wife countered my argument of I didn't like the first movie with "but the flying stunts should be cool." Damn she's good at logic.

May 20, 20223 yr The veteran "star" players moncada, eloy, abreu and grandal simply need to hit better. Tim, robert and vaughn have been quite good but the bottom of the lineup is quite bad and 3 guys hitting well is not enough. I think they can turn it around though. Moncada and eloy have been injured and should get better and abreu usually only picks it up in June or so. Age is a slight concern with abreu and grandal but I think they will be fine even if they are maybe slightly worse than the last years. Grandal and abreu actually have been quite unlucky by statcast xWOBA (albeit you have to consider that the dead ball might make xWOBA slightly more unreliable this year).

May 20, 20223 yr Sox are currently: 28th in OBP, 24th in SLG, 30th in BB%, 25th in ISO, 24th in WRC+ But hey, 3rd lowest K%. If we change the rules to make strikeouts worth 2 outs instead of 1, Menechino is a genius and the best hitting coach in MLB.
May 20, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, wegner said: Talking about a terrific soundtrack...Platoon had that. Great movie as well. I thought Jerry Goldsmith's Soundtrack from Hoosier was the best compliment to the movie, really helped bring one back to the 1950s, and was the best complimentary piece. That said, the best scene / song pairing was Elias' death in Platoon, as backed by Adagio For Strings.
