    Okay we looked into it. The only review of Piglet's Big Game in our digital library right now is from Electronic Gaming Monthly (Issue 168, July 2003) which described it as "made for people too young to distinguish between it and food." (no score) Some genius is unappreciated in its time

    After spending the last couple weeks studying film, I can tell you that I expect both game plan AND physicality to be factors during today's Big Game. #9years2rings

    For those film fans who don’t want to watch the big game but still like the idea, these are good but my favorite Football movie is North Dallas Forty (1979) Directed by Ted Kotcheff Nick Noltle gives a sobering portrayal of an aging player #filmsky #SuperBowl #biggame

    Totally not a horror movie but definitely Finnish is Big Game, an action film with Samuel L. Jackson as POTUS. Air Force One is shot down over the Finnish wilderness by terrorists and Jackson meets a young hunter who helps him survive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Gam...

    My favorite film genres: 5. Coach with a shadowy past takes scrappy team of underappreciated talents to the Big Game. 4. Prison break. 3. Girl boss finds a male equal who appreciates her. 2. Nazis get their asses kicked. 1. Underdog sticks it to The Man.

    Risto 🇫🇮, rarely do I see the flag of Finland 🇫🇮, my grandparents’ homeland before 1910! Have you seen Samuel L. Jackson’s 🎦 BIG GAME? And the movie SISU? It’s a wonder what small children can do when faced with lots of BIG, BAD MEN! It gives children lots of MOTIVATION to do the “IMPOSSIBLE!”

    Note: my Finnish-American family’s story of how over the last century we became increasingly more racially & religiously diverse and tolerant ( except of course of BLEEPING BLEEP RUSSIANS!) is the exception, NOT the rule. UNITED WE AMERICANS ARE STRONG! See Samuel L. Jackson’s movie BIG GAME!

    So many ways to think about this, I'm going with a Fatal Attraction scenario, especially since even the USSS has leaked their fears about her. If that was in a movie that would be seen as such over the top nonsense, more so than even Big Game.

    Watch Samuel L. Jackson’s movie🎥 “BIG GAME!” The evident “fact” T_RUMP was willing to sacrifice AIR FORCE ONE’s CREW & passengers to save himself & increase his LAGGING POPULARITY may even further decrease his popularity! All government is a matter of popular support! Lies & foul deeds are 🐎 💩!

    Watched BIG GAME last night. All I knew about it was that it was an adventure movie from the director of RARE EXPORTS and the SISU movies that starred Samuel L. Jackson and that no one seemed particularly happy with how it turned out. It’s fine. More cute than exciting, but holy cats, the cast! 1/2

    Beverly, a good Samuel L. Jackson movie 🎥 is BIG GAME set in my grandparents’ homeland Finland 🇫🇮! Even little children 👦 can do wonders IF THEY HAVE COURAGE or TRUE GRIT like the teenage girl 👧 MATTIE ROSS! Big bad men should be more careful NOT to ANGER girls as they can be very fierce enemies!

    Prof Jenn M. Jackson, years ago my black nieces & nephews urged me to watch Samuel L. Jackson’s film 🎥 set in Finland 🇫🇮 “BIG GAME!” Cute movie about having courage when facing seemingly “IMPOSSIBLE” tasks! In 1979, my Finnish grandpa in his 80s walked with me thru his old neighborhood in Harlem!

    Here's a free movie idea for you: A famous Big Game hunter goes hunting with the boys, when they're fired upon from afar. First thinking it was an accident, they soon realize someone is hunting them. A drawn-out sniper battle ensues. It's a horror movie where the killer is the good guy!

    An American oddity made by Finns and set in Finland is still an American oddity. Hollywood has already used us to films where the sacrosanct figure of the President of the USA is the target of the most barbaric attacks, bloodthirsty enemies and a thousand and one terrorist attacks. Frequently, the president is sufficiently capable of extricating himself, with the indispensable help of his military and secret agents. Sometimes, however, he becomes something of a damsel in distress. This type of…
