Face/Off is a rad movie and you know what? The Rock is better than Con Air (I will admit however that the minecart scene is kinda dumb and makes the otherwise non-stop thrill ride drag a bit).

Looked up the director and it's motherfucking Antoine Fuqua. He's responsible for Training Day (owns), Shooter (owns), Tears of the Sun (owns), and King Arthur (:geno:). A few other movies of note, but I haven't seen them. I don't know what the gently caress happened with Southpaw.

I'm probably being unfair to the rest of the movie. Some parts of it are pretty well shot and acted, and Gyllenhaal is pretty much a flawless actor in my opinion. It's just that the boxing was so bad it overshadowed the things the movie did well.

If we're going down combat sport movies that have good stories, I feel Warrior deserves a mention. It's the movie Southpaw wants to be.

It really ruins the movie. It's not a great film, but the boxing is just irredeemably bad. I've done just enough boxing to know I don't know poo poo, but I do know that I know more than anyone working on that movie.

Warrior was a fun movie but lol despite winning the fight the one dude got battered at some amateur MMA setup at a shopping mall or whatever, then goes on to get decimated in every fight in the tournament before pulling a win out of his rear end, then proceeds to win a fight against his brother, a guy who had knocked everyone out in like 10 seconds, was a significantly better fighter, and had a seething grudge against his brother

Yeah, but Edgerton didn't switch stances for the first time in his life in the middle of the fight so it was better.

Hey TFF, if you are like me and have an hour commute, and also some complaints about how the government is acting, I am here to give the PSA that the single most effective way to get your message across is by calling your local reps and Senators. E-mailing is easily ignored, as is hand written letters. Phone calls are the best way to implore a congressman to do something. Visit house.gov to find out your reps, and a basic google search to find your senators. A phone call is always logged, while other methods are not. I call everyday on my way home from work, so pick whatever time is more convenient and call. This is not a political statement, just a statement of how to get what you as a constituent want conveyed to your representative and Senators. Its activism, which now more than ever is needed.

The latter thing actually sounds like something out of PRIDE to be honest, like a big tournament is coming up and a dude gets hurt and they just go "gently caress it, his training partner used to fight"

No, Southpaw is really bad. I say this as a massive fan of Gyllenhaal and a sometimes fan of boxing. It is a bad sports movie and every boxing scene in it is terrible. It's ok if you don't understand boxing, have never boxed, and don't mind how bad the boxing is. It is bad for boxing though. If that movie were a UFC fighter it would be a Gracie, and not even one of the good ones. It would be a bad Gracie like Renzo.

Renzo Gracie is a goddamn treasure of humanity.He coached Matt Serra who's hilarious and hosed GSP once,got his elbow hosed because he didn't want to tap to sakuraba and lived tweetted his attempted mugging while beating the poo poo out of the thiefs e.Of all the massive cunts of the Gracie family you had to choose the most awesome one.


Now Royce Gracie is someone you can take a dump on and nobody is going to come to his defense.Piece of poo poo.

Half the records of Wanderlei and Fedor are cans.The teacher part is the most realistic part of the movie.Also he's playing Rich Franklin or something.

After Eddie Bravo worked his brother in metamoris ( he absolutely destroyed royler) he went after him and tried to fight him in the backstage area over perceived slights which is ridiculous because bravo loves the Gracie's.

He illegally kneed shamrock in the balls in the tragic Bellator fight ( hilarious but still wrong)

He jucied like an NFL player to get and edge when his jiu-jitsu stopped working against wrestleboxers.

Probably the moment he squandered his good will when he fought saku and tried and got almost all advantages possible including a personalised ruleset and hen proceeded to lose.
He's a sore loser and kind of rear end in a top hat,basically piece poo poo is too harsh but it's the tff chat and hyperbole is king.

For a MMA dude he's kind of mild, specially for an early one.

Now Matt Hughes is a psychopath and no-hyperbole piece of poo poo.

I'm going to imagine he's the MMA version of Juan Manuel Marquez. Brilliant, got his rear end beat by someone better, and loved the juice.

Did he ever drink his own pee? That all that's missing. Well that and a huge family in the business.

He's just about my favorite boxer ever, however everything I said there about him is true. The brilliant part of things should have been bolded of course, because holy poo poo can he figure people out.
