That's why the rush to judge all trades always drives me crazy. Most of the time, one team in a deal is not making that trade for today. All of the major team sports have that kind of trade. I'm not going to attack or defend a deal, but it is clear that our side of the deal is not yet defined. Botterill made a change, made some space, and now he needs to put in more work, as you've suggested, to get some fruit from that tree.

Wait, the pope is on twitter? I hate the internet.

Your definition of "recent years" is very interesting. Earlier you said movies from the last decade or so and then included Godfather 2 (1974). Now you've just included 2007, 1995, 2007 again, 2006, 1995 again, a wide widow for Tarantino, and 1998 all as recent. I'm also not trying to pick a fight here, but I find it interesting. I think all to often we think of a movie as recent only to realize that it came out longer ago than we realize. Nothing on your list outside of the most recent Tarantino stuff is younger than 10 years.

I've been waiting to hear anything about that one before making a decision. So we're up to two positive responses in this thread. At this point, I probably won't see it in theaters, if it's even still there in two weeks, but I'm definitely curious. I really hope DC can keep their positive trend going, because I'm far more familiar with their stuff.

When will Melnyk release that forensic report on Karlsson's achilles injury?

I love that fact that I'm completely lost on all this tech talk, but I'll still cave and buy the system 2 or so years into it's run once they make a new GTA, Red Dead, Batman, or Metal Gear game that I absolutely have to play. I would have included Final Fantasy on that list as well, but the last few, particularly the last one, underwhelmed significantly.

***** happens type stuff as opposed to end of the world type stuff. Keep that beer flowing.

Anything I saved went into unexpected medical costs this year. But hey, that caused additional savings. That fits right in with the American way I'd say, thinking you actually saved 50 cents because you bought that on sale oversized jar of peanut butter that you otherwise wouldn't have.

They'll drop the backwards compatibility because it winds up being too expensive. They always do.

That guy just comes off as odd casting to me. If they were going for a "completely non-threatening bookwoom" look with the role, they nailed it. Maybe Fran Moff Tarkinton had that feel too back in the day, I don't know. At least with his age, he looked like he had actually been there before.

VIII felt like it could have been a Spaceballs sequels at certain points. Opening the movie with a prank phone call to the first order?

Eichel's a german name, isn't it?

Their ages are all a mystery, but wouldn't he have been dead by the time she was born? She can't be any older than Kylo.

I liked VII. VIII just didn't build on it very much. It's perfectly fine to not like a movie without "taking it too seriously". As for the humor, they may have had it to some extent in the first ones, but it was never jammed down your throat like it was in VIII. It's fine to go to that well occasionally, but they camped there and then never left. I don't know, maybe when you have someone like Harrison Ford, who oozes charisma, delivering those lines, nothing ever feels forced. Hell, Finn almost had the heroic sacrifice too until Rose stopped him. That part never made any sense to me. Let's cancel out one kamikaze attack by turning it into two. Killing him off right there would have worked really well with his whole arc in that movie... from coward to hero.

But evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

If they have the full Fox library, that does spike my interest a bit.

I'm sure it would have been fine with some other title, but there's a whole universe of movies and shows and that one so drastically moved away from the tone of all the others. They went the same path as Marvel, leaning too heavily on the comedy thanks to the success of Guardians of the Galaxy. That style is fine, but not when you already have 7 other movies (yes, I'll even count the prequels) that don't have an ounce of it. A similar move would be to make the next Bond movie a musical. With all the complaints out there about that movie, the thing that really bugged me a lot was some poor development in general. If you want to play up a heroic sacrifice to tug at the heart strings, it needs to be an actually developed character and not someone we just met 30 minutes ago. That would have been a much better death to save for someone at least at the level of Ackbar.

Choosing to rank them is where we go wrong. Why can’t we just sit back and enjoy them the rare moments when they do happen. As for for the people who can’t enjoy this one, I just feel sorry for them. They missed out on a great moment. But hey, that’s their choice.

You know what else is vintage? The guys playing with him buckled under the pressure. Their scores weren’t horrible, but they’re the only two guys in the top 10 who didn’t break par.

There is so much of the top ten in the world rankings on that leaderboard. That would make the win that much more impressive for him.

The expletives has to be flying. They cut away live the second it happened, so we probably missed the fun. I assume he thought it was a fan initially.

That security guard’s life must have flashed before his eyes when he realized that he clipped Tiger’s ankle.

You’re comparing one seed against 15 others though. Many of those times, the winner was just a game or two better than the second place team. Is that winning team so much better than the top seed in the opposite conference, who has played a very different schedule? The most interesting one is the year we won it. Anaheim has the same point total but it was given to Buffalo on a tie breaker. The Ducks wound up winning the cup. So even if the Presidents’ Trophy winner is considered to be the favorite, it’s what, a 20% chance for them compared to 18% for team #2 and 80% for the rest of the field? We’re talking about probably the most balanced league out there. I just now read the stories about how they’ve been bouncing between arenas. Anything that gets them out of that bouncyball arena is a good thing, but man, that’s messed up.

I re-watched that one a week or so ago. It actually got worse with a second viewing.

Hehe, he said balls. There, that’s my best attempt at making that one fun.
