Sounds like me with spiders.

Ok, first, I love that pun and Lady P must have the patience of Job, like Lady S to put up with you for as long as she has.

Gene Wilder could have done any of the 3. He easily could have done the Maniacal Joker, the Smarter then You Riddler OR the In his own world Hatter, and I would have loved to see him do any of the 3. On the other hand, Not being as big a fan of Woody Allen, but the stuff I have seen him as, I would rather see him as Hatter then Joker.

One of the interviews I saw was with the actress who played Cosmo - it was on a compendium of the actors and Gunn talking about working on set and the atmosphere. So, she went in thinking "I will be in a studio while all these other people work" but Gunn actually had her come out on sets and play Cosmo. She said she had a blast.

Remade with Tom Hanks as the Man with one Red Shoe. Also good and funny. It sounds like a direct remake, too, from your description.

Well, I play and enjoy the Dark Souls style games, so this type of difficulty not unexpected to me in games. Games with multiple enemies attacking really do need some type of CC other then dodge and run around. Still looking forward to playing it.

As an enormous fan of the original theatrical release, can I ask what the original ending was? Spoiler if you want, am just curious.

Agreed with this and reiterate how much it blew LaT out of the water. I think these 2 movies show the difference in Gunn and Waititi: One knows there are points in the movie that should not have frat humor involved and the other doesn't. Reminds me of a quote about Mike Meyers - "he will beat a joke to death then keep hitting it in the chest till it revives". Only con I had was not a fan of their Adam Warlock, but, given what they did he can grow into that man we know. The stuff in the beginning with Quill and Gamora was painful to watch, but actually it needed to be and pays off later Loved the mid credits scene and the after credits was interesting. Oh, and Cosmo is a GOOD DOG.

Agreed, but I still would think that he should be acting more like the other actor and less like pre-teen on sugar. Reminds me of Face/Off where both Cage and Travolta would have the other act out a part before stepping in and doing it themself to see how the character they were playing would have responded. I think there should be a certain amount of this. Heck, even the animated JL series had him be a younger kid who was trying to act older as Marvel, even if his insides were doing the this is sooooo cool dance.

Yeah, but if any of those "vision problems" persevere, his career is over. I know, not the most urgent thing on the list, but I bet he would rate it pretty high. You can't have someone standing out there as hard as balls are hit now with impaired vision.

I still feel like Levi is playing the character as a pre teen, as opposed to what his age is in the movies and how the actor playing him portrays. Otherwise, I enjoyed both Movies.

probably?

with the balanced schedule this year (only play your division opponents 13 times each) there is actually a possibility of a division having every team over 500. One of the annoying things with My Angels - 2 of those wins for the A's are against us, one of which we gave up 11 runs to them and one of our losses gave up 11 runs to KC. We have played the "easy" part of our schedule and are 3 games over 500.

I once remembered ESPN doing a show on players who started slow, and a lot of the usual suspects. Then they showed Tony, who said that he also tended to start slow, but no one ever felt bad for him because his slow start was hitting 320. Said probably would cost him any chance of hitting 400.

Edmonton knocked off Kings too.

thanks for that link. so, I go back to what one of the writers said, why cant you just have a pool of the 30 best home plate ball and strike callers and pay them a little extra, put 2 in each crew and they alternate.

When ever anyone argues against some type of robo ump system (i am good with challenge system if keep challenge if right) I point them to the Angel/Brewer game from last night. The umpire was calling pitches that the catcher was receiving in the opposite batters box as strikes, but it gets worse. At one point, he called a strike on (I believe was Drury, but he was calling these on both teams) a pitch about 5 inches outside, so your option is to move closer to the plate, where the next pitch almost hit his knees and was called for strike 3. So now, the plate, for this ump, has grown about 4-5 inches on BOTH sides. Ok, so he must not give high or low strikes, right? Wrong. AFter the Angels put men on 1st and 2nd with no outs, their 9th hitting rookie looked to attempt a bunt but pulled the bat back well before the ball got to home and as the catcher caught the ball bouncing off the ground in front of him, umpire signals strike. Did he call it on the swing? no, straight called strike. Neto then bunted at a somewhat high pitch since he had no idea what was considered a strike and only had the one more pitch to do so, popping it up to the first baseman for the first out. If the challenge system had been in play this game, I suspect conservatively between the 2 teams that it would have been used 30+ times that game. This ump should be nowhere near home plate in a game.

I keep hearing from the Analysts, when Kenny says the whole thing with the shift is just hit the ball the other way, that with the velocity being thrown today (saw a stat, avg fastball 20 years ago was between 91-93, now between 94-96) there just isn't time to adjust. Also, that these HR hitters aren't there to hit singles and fans want to see them hit HRs, even if only hitting 220. I disagree, but thats me.

Brian Kenney has remarked how he has to retrain himself in watching games, you can't just take large breaks because nothing happens, the games actually move along. I also heard one of their analysts saying if baseball wants more action and less HR, Walk, Strikeout pattern, instead of all these teams bringing fences in, move them back more. Then you need athletic outfielders to go along with athletic middle infielders because of the lack of shift. Problem, of course, is that management of teams reward HRs and not speed/average guys.

I have said before and will again, the retcon works if they actually do a restart. But again, they try to have their cake and eat it too. Either begin again, with no backstory or don't. But everytime they do, they try to retcon WHILE keeping the big event stories (Killing Joke being the biggest to me).

Didn't see anyone talking about this, but I wondered if anyone was watching the Gotham Knights on WB. I had forgot about it so missed most of it and haven't started watching unless they replay it. I found the premise funny due to this: At the same time they were releasing this, they were releasing a Gotham Knights game (a semi sequel to the excellent Arkham Knights series of games). The premise was that Bruce is dead (the start of the game you see his body), apparently killed when the Batcave collapsed in a fight between he and Raz. So, Dick, Barbara, Jason and Tim take over defending Gotham. Own the game but haven't played yet. So, in the tv series, apparently Bruce is dead and Bruce's adopted son Turner Hayes (you are forgiven if you don't recognize the character as he didn't exist before the series) teams up with the children of some of Batman's enemies (Duela Dent, Harper and Cullen Row, Stephanie Brown, etc) to find out who killed him. OK, first, why not use Damian as this is exactly the type of thing he would do, using villains children to as vigilantes, why create a whole new character? 2nd, Why not use the 4 characters from the game, unless there is some problem with licensing?

what does it say that I don't see either thing the slice of life person said, but i do see the Stone Dog Titan.

I think Bumgarner is a classic example of a peak pitcher. To many high leverage innings in a short time, especially playoffs. Saw a thing on MLBNow today about Kershaw and how, not counting playoffs, from 2010 to 2015 he was the best pitcher in baseball, not even close, except in playoffs (remember the Bumgarner vs Kershaw debate?), so, last 6 years when he has declined - well his innings are down about 600 total BUT his statistics are almost identical in a per 9 inning category. And really, the bad in playoffs thing was almost all about St. Louis and most pundits truly believe they knew what pitches he was going to throw. Now look at those 2, Kershaw is a first ballot HOFer, truly he ranks in top 10 all time pitching, but is Madison?

Hmm, pretty sure Half-Life has levels that look like that. Those are not safe to walk in.

Having a super hero name you can't tell people is dumb. Honestly, if you can't use the Captain Marvel moniker, you could have actually come up with something else, Avatar comes to mind, though there is probably someone named that out there, but don't feel like searching.
