Boss Hog Movie Review: Children of Men
Quick take: Excellent movie. Go see it.
How it would have been different if Joe Gibbs had directed it instead of Alfonso Cuaron: It would have starred Mark Brunell instead of Clive Owen as the hero, and the woman who becomes the first pregnant woman in 20 years would have been played by Clinton Portis in drag. The film would not have worked nearly as well.
What it can tell us about the future of the Redskins: Well, the movie is set in 2027, and cities around the world are in chaos. There is a shot of New York burning and in rubble, which indicated to me that the Redskins had just been in town playing the Giants and, as usual, the outcome had been disastrous. But maybe I was reading too much into it. There was no explicit mention of the Redskins, which says to me that even in 2027 they likely still suck.

Yeah, a very good movie, some incredible urban combat scenes, but the story itself was pretty awesome. the movie only seemed to strain to draw parallels to today--for example "Homeland Security." The British would never call it that.
Boss, I think you forget also that Mark Brunell would have made a pass at Portis, but it would have sailed 10 feet over his head!! ha ha ha ha that joke NEVER gets old!!
