    Congrats Rudy, you got one play in a game where the score was 24-3. And you were offside. Would love to see Rudy get bulldozed by Quinshon Judkins. One spin move from that man would put Rudy into a coma. "Since 1975, no player has been carried off the field at Notre Dame." Why do we think that is? Only person who deserves to be carried off that field in the last 50 years is Chip Trayanum. Boring movie as…

    I recently rewatched this with Pete, and I was curious why I loved this series so much. Obviously, I remember why I love this series, I watched it this summer, and it's still pretty fresh in my mind.

    I usually know exactly how my review of a movie will go as soon as the movie ends, at the very least when I write the review. This is not the case. There's a lot going on in my life right now, and some aspects of that found resonance in this movie. I think in a few years I'll be able to more appropriately explain how this movie makes me feel.

    Yikes.

    There's about 45 minutes towards the end where the story is slightly interesting, but that's about it. Additionally, the cinematography is sub-par at worst and good (loosely) at best. It's a shame that such a solid output from the camera can create an abomination of this scale. I can't describe how fitting it is at the very end to have a French credit about the French director plastered on top of the Hispanic name behind it. Almost poetic.
