I don't really care if the threads get merged, or retitled or whatever. It doesn't really matter to me which thread gets talk about standard or other formats that also are on arena. This thread obviously is where most of the collection and old format stuff happens, but not sure we have enough...

My goodness.

Better than Munich, Good Night and Good Luck, Capote, and Brokeback Mountain?

She's not really a side character though. She started that way, but she was wildly popular and has become a major character that has her own comics etc. Many popular comic characters start out as minor characters.

Yeah but look at all these attractive people having relationship stress/drama over dumb shit! Doesn't matter if it doesn't make any sense.

Yeah those shows went from superhero shows with CW casts to CW shows with some superhero flavor and it was all cringe as fuck.

Not bad. This could go either way but I'm sure I'll end up watching it.

Indeed. Also, once again, this scandal has given Jomboy a much bigger audience which he deserves.

I mean Parasite was good. I didn't think it was amazing, but honestly I don't think any of the movies really were. It was a year with a bunch of good movies without any actual stand outs.

Wonder Woman is at least in the ballpark of the Iron Man sequels. The first Iron Man is real good though and the first GotG is my favorite MCU movie so none of the DC has come close.

Yeah but with 2.5 times the budget, it needs to make 2.5 times the box office. If it's making the same money it's bombing.

I mean it's been good in basically every iteration except Leto. Nicholson was real good, and the TV ones as well. It's just a great character.

Except that John Wick 2 had a budget of 40 million and this movie's budget was almost 100 million.

Suicide Squad is probably the worst of the DC movies. Worse than BvS even. At least that movie had Cavil going for it, and some actual cool individual moments/scenes even if overall it was a shitty mess. Suicide Squad has none of those scenes/moments.

Steroid era dudes need to compared to their era and not as all time metrics. I don't think McGwire or Sosa should get in, but Clemens, Arod, and Bonds should be no-brainers.

McGwire is just a HR guy, if he hit 430 HR nobody would be talking about him being in the HoF. ARod, Bonds, and Clemens are different and if steroids were as obviously prevalent as they were at the time they should be in. As you stated you can have a separate section for that era and people...

Twins!

I mean I'm not sure what people expected. Did you really think they'd just make the characters all interesting and powerful on their own without having to shit on everyone around them instead? Did people not watch the trailers? I think the surprise would have been if they had done that not...

Listening to Simmons bitch about the Betts trade is awesome.

Yeah, I really liked most of the first season. The sister stuff was so bad though. But no more of that hopefully!

Yeah Carr is at least decent. A bit over 20m a season isn't even totally absurd salarywise.

'Murica!

Yeah that lineup is pretty wild. And while Price is overpayed he'll still end up pitching games for them so it's not like he adds nothing. I'm just curious what happens with that physical lol.

Would be kind of funny if this ended up killing this huge trade.

Elmore did good work. Him and Parkinson did like 90 percent of the fantasy art then. The covers to all the D&D rules box sets were so good.

I read some of these myself, but I read a lot of Tolkein, the Moorcock stuff Elric in particular, The Black Company, Niven, Azimov, etc. The Shannara books, Eddings Belgariad books, lots of other stuff too. Some of it is pretty bad also, but there was plenty of good shit even back in the 80s.

Some of you dudes needed better books as kids.

It's literally going to be everyone on the press tour. This is at the studio level and doing press is something you do for movies.

I assume that's some shit the studio is pushing so that's what's going to get regurgitated for all the press shit. You're going to hear it from everyone involved.

People always expect some wild trades at the deadline but it's almost always some has been for an expiring and a pick. Not that these moves can't help contenders get a little better or help the sellers get a few more assets, but the big splashy trades are rare.

You can do some things to try and win a game that don't necessarily make sense for the next several games. If you blow out your bullpen when you're down a couple of runs it can most definitely be detrimental to you for the next few games.

Betting on yourself is different for a player than it is as a manager. It can change how you use your bullpen or other shit if you bet on some games and not others.

Get the main character right. Get Ewan Mcgregor to play the villain. Then fuck up everything else so bad that the movie is probably an unwatchable piece of shit. DC is amazing.

Anything can happen even playing Baltimore and presumably healthy Pittsburg twice each.

That's pretty wild.

The initial race is the best part of expansion launches on TLP, it sure isn't the difficult content.

They're the favorites with most vegas spots. You can get ~ 7-1 or so on your money right now which is actually better than normal this soon after the Super Bowl. San Fran and Baltimore also have roughly the same odds in most spots. Bengals are 125/1 as the biggest odds.

I was a bit sad when they did that. I actually really enjoyed the shitshow in Storms on Phinny.

Delusions? Patriots are going to win 26 more titles in the next 29 seasons. Facts not opinions.

I've already said that if any teams even the Yankees if they've done the dirt as egregiously as Houston should get similar punishments. If it's to a lesser degree it should be a lesser punishment. This isn't rocket surgery. The stuff with placing a camera and doing things real time with no...
