If this needs a separate thread, please more it. But, it seemed unnecessary for another World Cup thread:

So if the original director of a movie is brought back on to direct a reboot of the same movie, is it really a reboot?
Roland Emmerich just signed on to direct the reboot of Stargate
This makes me very excited
I dont claim to be a hockey expert... but I really think Crawford is an average goalie who greatly benefits from a great defense in front of him. When that defense falters, Crawford gets exposed. Yes, he does make some great saves.

I have to laugh at you guys discussing realism in a movie about a giant lizard vs two giant bugs.
You laugh.... until a giant lizard plows through Chicago.

"With the Sochi games raising the bar to an absurd $51 billion, hosting the Olympics no longer looks like a winning proposition."
Sochi was such an odd case. They essentially created an entire city from scratch, and waisted billions on corruption.
Vancouver cost $6.4 billion and Turino cost $700 million. With the right city, it can be done for a reasonable cost (less than $4 billion)
Cubs released the renderings of the Wrigley renovations. Looks nice to me. As part of the renovation, the bullpens will be moved to under the bleachers.

I liked the balance, too. And I thought the quick snippets of fights before switching to another scene really built on the suspense of the big final battle. My son and I (along with others in the theater) cheered when Godzilla
My first thought was

As far as movies to be excited about in the future, try Nolan's INTERSTELLAR.
Interstellar intrigues me.

Saw Godzilla in IMAX 3D this weekend. I really enjoyed it. I personally liked the way they slowly built to Godzilla's arrival and the build-up to the big battle at the end. There were some great scenes with the MUTO, too. The scene on the railroad bridge was awesome.
I couldnt agree more. I really really liked it. I knew going in that
. I like the twist that
.
I liked the nice balance between story and destruction, and it wasnt destruction just to have destruction.

If you're a fan of Heidi Watney's boobs, I suggest you tune in to Quick Pitch sometime between now and the next 11 or so hours on MLB Network. They're glorious...
I just did a quick google search, I'm not impressed by the ladies.

The new FB app sucks as the most recent feed is hidden. "oh switch to paper" yeah that doesnt do most recent either.
I am in "most recent" 100% of the time. I dont want Facebook to tell me what is important to me.

Not holding my breath, but I hope the new guy isn't another puppet for the owners.
The commissioners job is to work for the owners.
