  1. I love Simon Greene's stuff from way back. Started with the Hawk and Fisher and have progressed through almost all of it (Nightside, Deathstalker, Secret Histories (Golden Torc), Ghost Finders). Problem I started having was every pairing he did became variants of Hawk and Fisher - same mannerisms, same attitudes, same sayings. I had high hopes for Jones, but halfway through the book he and the woman helping him morphed into the same characters. Again, I am a fan of his stuff and loved all I had read, just became too repetitive. Was hoping for more.
  2. Not me, last thing I want is what most people call a Life. Way to many other people in it.
  3. So, much like Ryan Reynolds didn't play Hal so much as played Kyle Raynor; this flash is more early Wally then Barry, the scientist. It's too bad, as I really thought their CW Flash was very spot on.
  4. This was my take also, and I would add that I miss the supersmart Barry. I also think something was screwed up in this, Barry claims he was working the Crime Lab when he got his powers, which is DC canon, but the problem is, didnt he, at the end of Justice League get the job at the Crime Lab? So had he worked there then quit? And also, I really don't like his Barry.
  5. Last season Seattle made the playoffs in 1 run games, basically, this year back down to earth and it shows in their record.
  6. Saw Asteroid City today. Lot of good people in it, subtly humorous, and can't really describe it except to say is not what you think. I do recommend it though.
  7. Yes, and now here are the detractions you have put in. A ) was against the A's, who field a AAA team at best right now. B ) This is the guy who TWICE this season was caught with extra sticky stuff on his hands - ejected once, allowed to pitch the other. Just Saying. but still, is an amazing feat.
  8. scream and answer yes, no matter what.
  9. Okay, I am even more impressed by Danielson, but then it adds to my belief that it makes Okada look lesser. Basically, the MAN in the NJPW (and I know Sanada champion right now, but really, Okada is their headliner) lost to a guy from AEW who is not a champion, lost to our champion and had a broken arm. I am not trying to downplay the toughness or skill of Danielson, but from an appearance viewpoint, this looks bad.
  10. As an angel fan, I will take wins any way I can get them. And given that in previous years the Angels have lost on walkoffs where the throw back to the pitcher bounced off his glove and the guy on third scored and another game where the relief pitcher dropped the ball, it hit the mound and bounced all the way to the dugout allowing the man on third to score (strangely, both against the A's and I believe same season) I do not regret any way we win.
  11. I am only surprised by Danielson beating Okada (I think this lessens Okada, not that I don't like Danielson) and Los Ingonerbles beating Empire.
  12. and strangely, given his being used to hitting there, in ninth with 2 on and 2 outs and down by 1 run, Nevin chose to use Rengifo (who hasn't been that good) to pinch hit instead of Moustakas. Makes me wonder if Moustakas asked not to play on sunday against his old team. Was not a righty/lefty thing as Rengifo is a switch hitter and batted left.
  13. And as often happens in a game you score that many runs, Angels offense basically sleep walking through sunday. And sadly, our big free agent pitcher we picked up who was great for Dodgers continues to be average at best. This was one of his better games, and came in Colorado, 3 runs 7 innings. Rookie Soriano (think rookie) gave up 1 so we lost game 4-3 and series to a bad Rockies team.
  14. I liked the FF in that movie, I thought they were all really good, problem was, as usual, the powers that be REFUSE to do a correct Dr. Doom but then want to use him as an enemy. The later one with the 4 kids wasn't bad portrayals of the FF (except the Ben as a army weapon) but again, instead of using Annihulus OR Blastaar as the villain from the Negative Zone, instead you got another bad Dr. Doom. Funny thing, they could have even used the teenage/rival of Reed messing with the experiment, being kicked out and nobody catching it in time, Victor. Both bad versions of Doom ruined the movies.
  15. Naito would make sense as he seems to be the big name missing from the show. Especially as Ishii is now in the 5 on 5 match. not looking forward to Takahashe losing to MJF but they will have to offset Okada beating Danielson, which, given the 2 involved, I can't see not happening. Having Okada lose to Danielson, IMO, downgrades NJPW too much.
  16. But then we wouldn't have gotten the Fierys and learned your not allowed to throw someone else's head, only your own head.
  17. I am a fan of Seanan's writing (Cryptid and October Daye) and have read this series also. It is an excellent series exactly about what you say, which is accepting yourself regardless of what others think. I recommend you getting the rest. One book goes back to Jack and Jill and their story.
  18. The thing that strikes me, left picture 21, right picture 27, and she looks like she aged a lot more between those 2 images.
  19. Somehow the Angels have also played 3 more games then the others in their division. On Ohtani, I think that Nevin will start looking after all-star break to give him days off. Problem is, Ohtani doesn't like days off.
  20. I really liked the guy from Gotham, thought he was great.
  21. The Show - The description of the movie is "A man's search for a stolen artifact leads him to the haunted town filled with Voodoo gangsters, masked adventurers, Depression-era private eyes and violent chiaroscuro women." That does not do the weirdness of this movie justice and I highly recommend it. It is possibly the strangest, though not necessarily in a bad way, movie I have seen behind Everything, Everywhere all at Once. There is a lot to like about the movie, but my favorite part may be the Noir Detectives. The movie isn't high drama, seems to not take itself too seriously and made my wife and I laugh at some of the dark humor in it.
  22. I saw it also, and for what it is worth, he played totally over the top, as you would expect in a movie like this, but he came across as smart and psychopathic, so played the role well, to me. Agree, saw it myself today, enjoyed it a lot. Warning, and not a spoiler really, but it is a part 1 of 2.
  23. Best part is that the angle they took this from, looks like 1 entrance.
