I will just say that Michael Hopcroft said what I would have said only i would not have said as well, so DITTO. I liked Keaton as Batman even before the movie (I have witnesses who I argued with) having seen him in Clean and Sober just prior and realizing he could do playboy and scary. Would have been really interesting if they had gotten him to do a cameo in Crisis. Make him be the older Batman to Terry's Batman Beyond as a counterpoint to Conroy's Kingdom Come inspired one.

I really would have liked to see what Affleck could have done with the combo of him and Jeremy Irons as Alfred.

or it said I am Groot and this was the interpretation

Problem with that article Grailknight is it requires membership with ESPN+ to read whole thing. I know, I tried the other day to read it.

Think about this, at one point, Jeter wasn't even the best SS on his team. When A-Rod joined them originaly, he was still in his prime and was considered a better SS. I agree Jeter is a first ballot HOFer for everything he did, but I would say there were a lot of SS better then him. I don't count offensively so much anymore because Jeter as played through the really live ball era. But he was a clutch player and someone who had a lot of class with everyone he dealt with, fans and press.

The thing about that version that always bothered me is I loved the cast and if they had just used and updated the script from the 70s version, I believe they could have been great.

I used to record and watch some of that. Enjoyed it, but unfortunately it apparently moved to a channel that is not on Directv. I miss it.

congrats to them and deserved. I am surprised more didnt get in. Its time for the writers to stop penalizing Schilling for 1 repost 5 years ago. He can be a jerk, but his numbers both regular season and especially post season deserve to be voted for. Contrarily, I find it nice to see them sticking to their guns on the known(?) steroid guys. One guy who was on MLB Now yesterday put all the steroid guys on his ballot, claiming it wasn't up to him to police the game and that the HOF is just a museum. I and the other panelists disagreed with him vehemently regarding getting your own plaque there. Those guys exploits are in, but it is a very different thing to put the man in as a HOFer. He tried to argue that there are already bad guys in the hall so why bother.

Part of the problem goes back to some old questions: Why is there anyone else in the Justice League except Superman and Green Lantern. If some villain can handle them, how does anyone else stand a chance, seriously. Why is Hawkeye/Wasp/Yellowjacket etc showing up with Thor, Iron Man and Scarlett Witch there. Think if you actually built the JL in champions, then make a villain to face them. I used to have a friend who would try to argue for champions that you could have the various levels of characters and it would work. But my point was, if you built a villain that could absorb (as in, not be 1 punched by) blows from Thor/Superman etc, then the "human" characters (Cap, Hawkeye, Batman, Canary etc.) could not actually hurt them unless you did some strange thing with numbers (low defense, super high con so not stunned and a gajillion Stun/Body). but then it just becomes battles of attrition. Even in the comics, there always seems to be a hiccup in the logic for some of these battles.

its the depth perception thing. He didnt realize the water needed to be MUCH deeper.

Great article on most, if not all, of the easter eggs from Crisis. https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/dc-entertainment/285337/crisis-on-infinite-earths-finale-dc-easter-eggs-explained

Finished Crisis. I enjoyed everyone in it. Loved Smallville Superman punching Lex (and Cryer's Lex is growing on me). Even in the Crisis, Lena's hatred of everyone for not telling her Kara's secret seems stupid. And now we have Lex to overshadow her as a villain. To me Him being back as Villain only really works if you can have Lena to help offset him on the hero's side.

Don't underestimate the loss of the Draft Picks. Houston basically built their team through the draft with supplementing through trades/FA. Their players are getting to that point where is hard to keep them all and now they have been put back at least 2 years for top draft picks, hurting not only the future teams but also trade proposals.

Love both those. I understand he wrote the books, but Dahl is just wrong about disliking that version of the movie. Wilder did a fantastic job of being zany genius and creepy person perfectly. I like Johnny Depp, but that version of the movie, though possibly closer to the book, was just to weird and self serving.

Alex Rogan and his Last Starfighter Chris Knight from Real Genius (or even Lazlo Hollyfield). Scott Howard from Teen Wolf and to add a woman in, any of Cynthia Rothrock's 80s characters

How about Doc Brown for his time genius. Indiana Jones is 80s, right?

Actually, though I also stopped reading sometime after the 80s, I believe the story they are using is an actual New Mutants story called Ghost Bear.

Can Stimpy resist the big red shiny button?

yes, but he also ends that with the fact he just cant trust her and he cant let himself become the next sap in her list (paraphrasing a bit).

I suspect, once stills of that scene get out there, we will find many hidden starships from various science fiction books, tv shows and movies hidden in there.

First, I hope all of you have a new year that is better then your last, no matter the level you had. second, quoting Michael. mine gets even worse, due to being a tax preparer, I spend the first 3 and a half months recording things, then the next 6 months catching up while watching baseball semi live, meaning I get a double dose of political ads AND all the tax companies (including the one I work for) commercials from the season.

Saw it. He rants about liking Last Jedi, but I disliked that it seemed a deconstruction of the Star Wars mythos. I thought this was fun, an excellent homage to ROTJ and brought many stories to an end. Kylo's story was very much Anakin's repeated. Rey was very much Luke.

Don't say that in Scotland, or Ireland where someone can hear you.

If you want to watch another example of Bogey playing a character going through a mental breakdown, watch The Caine Mutiney. Another great movie with a great cast.

I have played all 3 games and read all the books. really looking forward to watching this. glad to hear so far is good.
