If we're talking about movies we're looking forward to the rest of the year... Obviously Avengers 2. I liked the new trailer for Tomorrowland. Reminds me of adventure movies when I was a kid like Goonies and Rocketeer. Trainwreck could be funny and Everest and The Walk could be intense.

Remember how awesome Wrestlemania was? One month later, back to same old dull matches on a ppv. I think Rollins vs Orton will be good but everything else, meh.

Wouldn't it be that way if it was real? People would be horny? Phil is unlikable as all hell but I still enjoy it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) I have to admit, I thought the premise of "Last man on Earth" was dumb as hell, but its easily one of my favorite new shows. The writing and acting are awesome. I feel it's really gotten better as its gone along.nthey keep putting Phil in funny circumstances. At this rate, the whole world will still be out there though. Ha

How is TIDAL a game changer or are all these "artist" over dramatic?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 23, 2015 -> 02:18 AM) Not trying to turn this into a bigger discussion, but in the age now of Netflix, where you can marathon shows, I'm finding myself somewhat unfulfilled watching a 26 minute comedy on a week to week basis. Same goes for VEEP this season. Both Silicon Valley and VEEP have been great, but when I'm done watching I have somewhat of a "meh" feeling. I remember watching the first season of Silicon Valley all at once, and I was late to Veep, so I watched that over like 2-3 weeks, and when I was done with the first three seasons, I was like "Wow, this is really good show." Maybe it's just me. I can do both pretty comfortably. I like being able space out shows to one a week, especially something like Mad Men, which I don't think I'd be able to binge on since so much goes on each episode. I love The Flash and would binge on it but am fine with one a week. But I'm grateful to be able to go through DareDevil and OITNB. Or experience Buffy over the course of a few months like I did last summer. I think the idea of a 22 episode season should be a thing of the past. There really is no new TV season. New stuff pops up in the Fall, WInter, Spring, and Summer. Cut the seasons down to 13 episodes.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 03:33 PM) Dont forget Goon, Miracle and Slap Shot. Goon is phenomenal! 2 rules. Don't touch my F'n percocets and do you have any F'n percocets, man?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 09:35 PM) I would rather watch Girls on HBO than hockey The only hockey I can watch is playoff hockey. No shootouts and a definite winner.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 02:29 PM) Ha, that was far too long ago to still have around. My wife wanted me to take a class with her during our senior year, so I took a course that focused on movies highlighting individuals with disabilities. That's a new one. I took one on kids portrayed in film which was out there. Also Hollywood being portrayed in movies. Wish I could remember more. A whole semester on Renoir's work.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) I wrote a paper in college based off of Amy Poehler's character in Deuce Bigalow! Good times quoting her character word for word. Send it to me. Sounds interesting.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) i really like movies and going to the theater to see them. but what you did, i know i am OCD, but that is just crazy. even for me. i got to give you and many credit for that. whew. ... Studying film in college ruined my viewing experiences for awhile but I got over it and can enjoy them for both art and entertainment. It's pretty easy to separate now.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 02:03 PM) Oh, you have seen more movies than me. Man, i know i am wrong now. And ignorant Ha. I did papers in college, breaking down scenes from Raging Bull, Apocalypse Now, and even American Psycho. I would never think any film student would take MoS and break it down like that and be accurate.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 07:25 AM) Take the movie Drive for example....as an auteur movie that was overpraised for its style, minimalist dialogue and hip soundtrack. Better yet, look at Goslings even worse directorial debut. Auteur...maybe, but that doesnt make it not terrible regardless. Sometimes you just need to tell a great story, like the Russian film Leviathan or a documentary like Searching for Sugarman. In the end, great stories and individual performances always trump CGI driven movies like Transformers (the first one at least had a decent albeit formulaic plot)...or Pans Labyrinth will always trump Pacific Rim. I agree with all of this. Drive looked cool but as a movie and everything else, I was bored and saw very little good in it. If Joshua enjoyed MoS, more power to him. Film is subjective. But to try and analyze that mess is a waste of time because it's nothing more than eye candy of a story we've seen 100 times.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 01:06 AM) Thesis on Man of Steel https://vimeo.com/109950825 Michael Bay - What is Bayhem?: And no DC movies had been good? I can name 5 ones that came out recently: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Watchmen, and Man of Steel (Watch the thesis). You're so right, everyone hated The Dark Knight Trilogy. You're the only one that would put Nolans trilogy into this DC universe. As much as Snyder Fan maybe an accredited critic/theorist, I doubt his biased take would convince me.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) 1. That's kind of an ignorant comment but I will say that based on the 1 minute of footage that we were shown, that it more like a Zack Snyder film, he's embracing his auteur a little more here. (Look up auteur theory) Again we only saw not even a minute of footage and all of it was out of context. Never judge a movie by its trailer, especially its teaser trailer 2. There is nothing wrong with Micheal Bay the filmmaker. You can judge Snyder by his other works including MoS, which looked like garbage and was. He is about as much of an auteur as Brett Ratner is. None of the DC movies have been good nor memorable. If you think so, you're probably in the extreme minority. Yeah, Michael Bay is a good filmmaker. Thats a first.

Daredevil season 2 in 2016 New showrunners as well. Not sure how much that will matter.

Lovett changed his Twitter header to a a pic of him in an Illinois uni. Illini Nation jumping to conclusions!

A super kick Dolph gave Seth last night looked more violent to the head than any curb stomp I've seen.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 11:49 AM) He has definitely done it since then. Liar.

I don't think we've seen the punt since, have we?

Yeah, you don't want a move that is over and unique and simple to do, to be shown. Ugh If they don't let him do it on Raw, fine, but PPVs and stuff? Cmon. Than ban punches and head butts and all the kicks to the head guys do. So stupid.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 02:49 PM) The postgame shows won't be the same. He and OB were always a must listen after a big win or awful loss. One of the few things I listened to on sports talk. Tragic.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 20, 2015 -> 01:47 PM) Finished Daredevil. Finale was just about a perfect wrap to the season. I can't see them waiting 2 years for a second season due to the acclaim. Is that the plan? Wait two years? To tie in with Cap America 3 or something?

Kazmir hit Cain in the foot with a slider. No way it was intentional. Nothing like a 100 mph fastball behind the head.
