Thanks, as I said, I haven't read book in 20-40 years, so could have been forgetting. As I said, I was amazed with his ability to show Scale. Last movie I remember doing so well was Star Wars opening, where we got the big ship, Leia's, then the Star Destroyer that went on forever. This reminded me of that in a lot of cases. I forgot one other change not thrilled with, but maybe I was wrong then too:

I wonder if they don't already have a trade with someone else almost but not quite completed, so what they were really drafting is a QB for another team, maybe who drafts later, that has a couple players they want.

Saw this today. I have commented on Chalamet and how impressed I was with his acting in this and his other parts, let me also give equal voice to Zendaya who conveys a lot with just her face and eyes through the movie and is also playing a much different character then we have seen, as well. As MH said, not a light movie, but I think well done. There are changes I am not sure I am happy with from the book, but I think they are a result of modern times. The very fanaticism of religion shown in this movie, to me, is enhanced from the original book and didnt really make its appearance till the 2nd book on originally, though granted has been over 30+ years since I read the original. The other change I am not sure of I will spoiler: Finally, the cinematography is fantastic and they way they show scale when dealing with the ships, or even toward the end Paul walking through a crowd is impressive. It started early in the first movie with you watching the people loading a giant ship, this flying to a much larger ship and then finally this mite of a ship being loaded onto the star spanning one. They do something similar in this with one of the spice harvesters, where you see the men in armor walking next to it from a distance and they might as well be ants.

MLBNow did a segment on him that was really good, as Brian Kenney was a big fan of his.

went to see Kung Fu Panda 4. Po must choose a successor. Was fun, and Po still kicks butt, but in almost all other ways is still a buffoon (which sort of bothers me) though he does redeem himself at the end. Worth seeing if you enjoyed the other 3.

Aren't we excited, Jets traded Zack Wilson to Broncos.

I am surprised only by Jericho beating Hook (and kind of saddened by it, as Hook is one of the better up and comers), Willow beating Hart, though I think may have been long in coming and now sets up Mone vs Willow. Wish they could decide on what to do with House of Black, seriously. They have 2 if not 3 (not sold on Brody King) best in ring guys out there, have set them up as very good psychological manipulators and yet never seem to really accomplish anything. I am indifferent to Swerve or Samoa as champions (They lost me when they had Swerve break into a persons supposed home and threatened his infant (who granted wasn't there) with injury) and Joe, honestly, is a little too long in the tooth for me (one of the real problems I have with AEW now is the amount of elder statesmen (wrestlers over 45 if not 50) taking precedence (yes I include Edge and Jericho in this). Not surprised about White and Gunns as Billy (see my previous comment about elder wrestlers) shouldn't be wrestling and now they can have the Acclaimed go after tag belts. Glad they had Osprey win, can't wait for him to leave Callas, as he doesn't need a mouthpiece.

through 3 episodes of the Prime series Fallout. Is well done and fun so far, though violent. For fans of the video games I highly recommend it.

agreed on the double play thing. especially if you take the play mentioned earlier, if the runner beats the throw to first, is there an error? if there is, then why wasn't there on the 1 out should be double play.

on wednesdays aew the young bucks showed footage of the fight between cm punk and Jack Perry. pretty clearl that Punk goes up to him and basically starts it. Punk responded, but truthfully, the video contradicts some of what he says: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/wwe/article-13296397/CM-Punk-AEW-fight-Jack-Perry-Wembley-Dynamite-WWE.html

Yeah, the MLB analyst shows talked about how Boston just kept giving the O's, a world series favorite, extra outs all series. They really miss Trevor Story, it is showing the holes in Dever's defense at 3rd. I also wish baseball would adapt the team error - the popup that falls between 2 -3 guys all standing staring at each 2 feet away other as it lands, as an example.

Apparently the players union is trying to say its because of the pitch clock. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, MLB, DON'T LISTEN. The pitch clock, IMO, is the best rule change to hit MLB in the last 20 years. Games are now actually watchable.

Weird, I recall the Windham and Rotunda as a different tag name, though can't think of it now.

It always saddened me because I was (well, still am) a big Scott Bakula fan and had hopes for that series.

Problem is, with the uptick in velocity nowadays, you have more and more pitchers throwing all out instead of the veteran pacing to get through 7 innings. Now its, get through lineup twice so empty the bucket. I have to believe these things play a factor.
