I personally would like to see more board game movies. I can't wait to see what they do with Connect 4. And yes, I realize that the first movie based on a board game was awesome.

That just shows you how long it has been since I watched that movie. They killed Newman but not that guy? Stupid Steven Spielberg!

I'm pretty sure that the truck following Chris Pratt towards the end of the clip was Optimus Prime. So you still at least have a shot at dinosaur-transformer hybrids (oh wait, they did that already). I'm not sure what to think of this movie. One of my only takeaways from this trailer is that I can't wait to see Wong from Law and Order SVU get eaten by a dinosaur. I hate that guy.

That's typically what they do with these first teaser trailers. They'll reveal a lot more whenever the next one roles out. I didn't notice it at first until Mark mentioned it above, but Jessie Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) is in fact one of the voice overs. They're keeping that role in their back pocket for now, but I bet he'll show up heavily when the first full trailer comes out.

I'm not convinced that's Batman talking at the end. It doesn't feel like the kind of thing he would say. But anyway, you commented on the suit, Mark. That's taken directly from the Dark Knight Returns comic book/graphic novel/whatever they call them now. That paired with kryptonite is the only way he can put up a good fight. I wonder how they'll go about introducing kryptonite since they absolutely have to have that in this movie for anyone to put up any kind of fight.

Just wait until the next movie where Ford will be in a full body cast (not carbonite).

If the soccer ball droid doesn't get kicked at some point, I will be very upset.

Best of luck to you Rick.

You certainly listen, but I can't imagine an offer like that ever coming.

At the same time though, I get fed up with the "they're not real Muslims" response, as if that somehow ends the discussion. If this group is bastardizing the teachings of Islam, it's not going to be catholics or jews who are going to start teaching the religion the right way. It's going to be Muslims. They're not responsible, but they're in the best position to correct this in the future.

That and he was always rocking the stache. He was no Lanny McDonald, but still respectable.

Saturday doesn't feel all that exciting to me. We don't know what we're getting, but we have one hell of a security blanket. The excitement/stress level has to be through the roof for a Coyote fan (yes, they do exist). A 2/3rds chance of having to settle for Hanifin? It has to be a roller coaster of emotion for those people.

That and it never hurts to have someone who has the potential to be not only a superstar, but the best player in the entire league. We had it in net, but we've never had that with a skater. Perreault was close, but there was too much talent during those years, specifically an in his prime Bobby Orr.

Do you really want the answer? 14! / (4!x10!)

That's what I was wondering about actually after the earlier conversation, if they might be able to cross over with their other Netflix shows. I don't know a thing about those other characters. Are they ones that also fit in with the much darker image of this show?

So it sounds like it would be tough to tie it in very closely to the movies. SHIELD actually got entertaining last year right when Winter Soldier came out. They can't do the same thing here since all episodes come out at the same time. I like the thought that it will have to be more of a stand-alone show. I'll be checking it out soon, I'm just not sure when.

Is it supposed to exist in the same continuity as the movie universe?

Thanks for that. I hadn't seen an explanation about the one extra combination before. They must have really liked their rounded off percentages if they had to take that approach. And I don't remember ever seeing this "how DOES it work" joke. That side of the board is too tough to follow with massive stories like the sale.

It's actually fairly straightforward. If people understand powerball or mega millions, they understand this. It's the same exact process but with fewer possible combinations.

There's no such thing as job security in the coaching profession. How many NHL coaches current tenure is longer than three seasons? 12. Three of those are on the hot seat and may not be back next year (Julien, McLellan, Tippett). And then there's Babcock who may walk. That number is actually higher than I expected, but the rest of the list are mostly teams where the job has turned over several times in recent years.

You answered your own question right there. People aren't going to trust a random number generator.

Oops, I need to look at the new odds, not the old ones. But anyway, do they have lottery machines that don't use ping pong balls? Everything you ever see on tv is the ping pong ball. But either way, the earlier idea that this system unnecessarily complicates things is out the window. A 14 ball lottery is way more efficient than 200. Edit: And not that it matters much, but I'm curious about what the true probabilities in their approach are. The ones listed are actually rounded numbers. There are 1001 possible combinations and our chance is 20%. There's one number combination not accounted for in the draft lottery odds that we see. Not that it means much of anything, but I hope that one extra shot is ours.

I have to say, the commercials I have seen for Unfriended make it look like the dumbest movie of all time. It makes me wonder if Adam Sandler is secretly a member of the cast.

It's a lot easier than what most would suggest. Everyone always pictures one ball coming out of the machine with a painted on logo of the winning team. In order to run that setup, they'd need 1000 balls in the machine to match the probabilities that are laid out. That would be one massive lottery machine.

I kind of hate that 2009 is my favorite sports moment. I was there for it and it was pure joy. I want a Buffalo team to have that moment for me, not a Boston team.
