Once you've tagged them all, just click the regular Quote button on that final post. Everything should automatically wrap itself in those quote tags, giving you the freedom to clean up any fluff, bold the parts that actually matter, or slide your own commentary in between the blocks of text. It's pretty straightforward, really.

The system will automatically wrap all those posts in Quote tags. From there, you can manually strip out the junk, bold the important stuff, or drop your own comments between the quotes.[/I]

Where am I missing the mark? If you could provide some more specific guidance, I’d appreciate it.

My current process is a bit of a cumbersome workaround—I tend to hit Quote, copy the entire block, strip out the parts I don't need, write my response, then paste the whole thing back in just to prune it again, and repeat the cycle indefinitely.

Is someone actually paying attention here? 🙏

Then you better explain how that works, because I've tried and it’s just not happening. When I click multi-quote, nothing happens. When I finally hit quote, I only get your post. 🙂

[QUOTE="cosmicskipper39, post: 382206, member: 654"]You can even do it "manually" if you want.
AltGr + F = [
AltGr + G = ]
Just type this at the start:
[quote.] (leave out the period)
Then wrap it up with this at the end:
[/quote.](no period here either)

Your review lists a ton of sports dramas that—in my opinion—don't even come close to this one: "The Invincible", "Coach Carter", "Hoosiers", "Rudy", "Moneyball", and "Million Dollar Arm". If you want real contenders, look at "Glory Road", "Friday Night Lights", or "The Blind side"—though I guess I'd put "Remember The Titans" somewhere in the middle. Just to be thorough, I'll throw in a few more top-tier ones: "draft day", "The express", "a League of Their Own", and "Rocky".

Has Schwarzenegger ever made anything worse than this? Seriously—it’s so mind-numbing you lose interest after just a few minutes. In my opinion, the IMDb rating actually reflects the quality this time around.

Danny Collins (2015)

What was Al Pacino even thinking? Honestly, he hasn't made a decent movie since Tony Montana back in '97—lately, he’s just coasting through subpar projects. This "comedy" is nothing more than another massive miss. Boring. Dragged out. Unwatchable.

Dropping lists and citing critics is just like reading IMDb reviews for movies. It’s all subjective; anyone can talk trash about a band if they want. Just like people bash the Beatles or the Stones. "Oh, they influenced this and that." I don't care about their influence if the music sucks to me. I'm not looking at historical impact; I'm looking at whether I actually like it.

That Rolling Stone list 🤣—every music lover has laughed at it. Nirvana is nothing special, and Kurt was just a walking struggle, then and now. I have zero sympathy for junkies. What, am I supposed to form an emotional bond with some addict and his lyrics and whatever messages he was trying to send? 🤣

Man, I wasn't even going to jump into this thread, but those pseudo-intellectual posts at the beginning (before yours) really rubbed me the wrong way. You cut right through the nonsense—props to you.

As for the documentary, I saw it a while back and hated it. I'm a huge movie buff, but this thing was bottom-tier. Now, I'm not a Nirvana fan—my musical taste is pretty niche—but that has nothing to do with the quality of the film. As a piece of filmmaking, it's worthless. Boring, dragged out, irritating, and just a lost, aimless wandering through Kurt's life. Junkie guy, junkie woman (and a prostitute), and a daughter who seems mentally and emotionally stunted based on her drawings. Given the environment she grew up in, it's a miracle she turned out okay.

McFarland, USA (2015)

It’s wild how someone who actually knows their way around a camera can take a totally mundane plot—hell, a plot that feels like nothing—and turn it into a solid, maybe even great, movie. I always say if a film doesn't grab me in the first few minutes, I'm out. That was the case here: Kevin Costner loses his job as a high school teacher and football coach because he loses his cool with a player—good intentions aside, he just went off. And since he has a track record of being hot-headed, he gets relegated to some middle-of-nowhere town. So, he packs up the family and moves to McFarland, California—a rural spot dominated by Mexican immigrant farmworkers—just to snag a teaching and coaching gig at the local high school.

Life there offers zero perspective. It’s pure poverty with no hope in sight. Just like their parents and kids before them, the people in McFarland are basically stuck in a cycle of endless labor on the farms. But Costner—blown away by the sheer physical grit of these kids after getting fired following a single football game—manages to pull together seven students for a cross-country team and starts training them for competition. These kids spend all day sweating under the sun picking crops, then they go out and run miles for practice...

What follows is a touching, incredible story based on actual events. There isn't a shred of cheap sentimentality, yet somehow it still had me tearing up again.

As usual, Costner shines as that (both athletic and social) enthusiast who actually believes in people and sees potential where everyone else just sees nothing...
