With all the samplings of bigger titles being released the last couple of months, movie studios are now kicking it into high gear as the month of May starts the Summer Season of movies. Ever since the COVID outbreak, movie releases in theaters were shut down and held back or limited to television streaming services. While last year showed a change with theatrical releases and they were able to get big titles out there, it still was not quite the same experience as it used to be. This year is showing to be much different. Many lock downs and restrictions have been lifted and people are showing that they want to go back to the theaters again, and they are willing to pay. Especially when it comes to big titles where only the silver screen can do it justice. May has been the start of the Summer Season for many years now, but despite the fact that this month results in a lot of big profits for its films, there are only just a few nationwide releases. It does make sense, since nearly every studio is distancing themselves from the latest big attraction from the Disney/Marvel Cinematic Universe. Benedict Cumberbatch stars in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness". Dr. Stephen Strange casts a forbidden spell that opens the doorway to the multiverse, including alternate versions of himself, whose threat to humanity is too great for the combined forces of Strange, Wong, and Wanda Maximoff. Also starring Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stuhlbarg & Rachel McAdams. Directed by Sam Raimi. Paramount brings us a sequel to a film that was 36 years in the making. Tom Cruise stars in "Top Gun: Maverick". After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. Also starring Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller, Lewis Pullman, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris & Val Kilmer. In "Firestarter", A young girl tries to understand how she mysteriously gained the power to set things on fire with her mind. Starring Zac Efron, Ryan Kiera Armstrong & Gloria Reuben.

How in the Hell did he get in there with that?! I've been to the Hollywood Bowl, it is not a small venue and they have security checks before you enter.

I prefer.....Carnac, The Magnificent.

What's strange is that the Bills hat he's wearing is not the official draft hat.

@NewEra @Jamie Nails I told you about this.

American Football is very popular in Germany. They have their own football league. Remember how many teams were based in Germany when NFL Europe existed? The NFL will get plenty of revenue from that country.

Had a lot of fun with you guys. Great meeting you @NewEra, @Jamie Nails thanks again for getting me in the inner circle, it was the best. Hope I see you both at the Rams game. GO BILLS!!!!!

Matt Araiza will be drafted in the 3rd round

It's players who were on last years team and are currently free agents.

Go

We did get Eric Wood that year

That does look like the Nicole Kidman portrayal of her

I thought this thread was going to be about Donte Whitner

Disturbing

As I recall, the Colts & Jets made that trade pre-draft. Once that happened, the fans on this board went on a tirade. Cursing the Bills front office for not doing anything, and how the Jets were so brilliant for doing everything they could to improve their team. Fun days, indeed.

Potentially, that would be 2024, 2025 & 2026. The Bills play an undetermined AFC West opponent at home in '24 & '25, and they play the Chiefs at home in '26. Oh, and the Bills play the Chiefs in Kansas City AGAIN, in 2023.

Gee, the Bills official site can't even get the San Jose State logo correct.

A very quiet signing, that they did yesterday. Nice.

I call BS. There are no laws in California.

This is true. Still, he will always be remembered for the college game.

He is my all-time favorite, but since this was about professional football, I didn't mention him.

You question the abilities of a great Wizard?

Definitely. I've heard people say that Jim Nantz is above average when it comes to football, but he excels at The Masters.

My favorites... Play-By-Play: 1. Howard Cosell 2. Dick Enberg 3. Marv Albert 4. Pat Summerall 5. Charlie Jones Honorable Mention: Jim Nantz, Verne Lundquist, Kevin Harlan, Don Criqui Not a fan of Al Michaels, he's alright. Color Commentray: 1. John Madden 2. Bob Trumpy 3. Paul Maguire 4. Tony Romo 5. Hank Stram

Hollywood is about money, not morals.
