QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 03:00 AM) This looks awesome. I’ve been called many things over many lifetimes. Ra. Krishna. Yahweh. That has to be my favorite single line of dialogue that I've heard all year. I love the Singer X-Films but my biggest complaint about them is that they are too short and don't always dive all the way in. An example of that would be in Days of Futures Past, when Vaughn was the director, he said that he would spend ample time in the future setting and he described his take on it as 'X Men meets Terminator'. Anyone who read the comic knows that the future setting plays a huge role in the story but it was only in the film for about 20 minutes. Singer said that Apocalypse is the longest film in the series and its the biggest in terms of scope and scale. Which makes me happy. I really like how Fox is approaching the X-Men franchise, rather than doing a full reboot, they retconned everything by creating an alternate timeline, which allows them to recast and whatnot. In my opinion, Singer is the perfect person to direct and godfather these movies. I remember watching an interview him on Charlie Rose, when he was during press for one of his films and he said that at it's core the X Men are about an oppressed people, fighting for their acceptance in the face of bigotry. With Bryan Singer, being a gay, Jewish man he brings something personal to the movies that you would not get from most directors. A good example of this would be the Iceman arc in X2. Fox was supposed to market Days of Futures Past as Bryan Singer's big comeback. He did a ton of press during production and while in post but after those (false) allegations about him came out, Fox halted on that angle of the marketing. I wonder what Disney/Marvel is thinking, because as it stands they are never going to get the X-Men films right back. I do know for a fact that if this movie or any Xfilm has tie-in video games/comics, merchandise and toys, that all of that money goes straight to Disney. They even stopped marketing the XMen in the comics. Maybe they stop publishing and manufacturing all things XMen and try to suffocate the property to hurt Fox, like they did previously with Fantastic Four. Of course they can buy the rights back but Fox isn't stupid enough to give away their biggest franchise but if Disney were to buy it back, some people say that it would rival what they paid for Lucasfilm. Which goes to show you how big the XMen universe is and its franchise potential. There are currently 2 films about to be released (Deadpool and Apocalypse), another 4 films (Wolverine, Young Mutants, X Force and Gambit) in active development and 2 TV shows being worked on. Marvel has effectively killed off the X Men as mutants, just like they did with F4. I'm sure they would like to use the characters at some point but I doubt they are losing any sleep. Maybe Singer can keep on making green screen crap and finally the fans will realize that the product is sanitized crap and stay away. I doubt it though, people keep lining up to see Transformers movies and they are terrible. Fox has made exactly one good movie since X2 and it wasn't singer that directed it, it was Matthew Vaughn, the Wolverine movies are trash. The only thing that looks decent is Deadpool and that's because Fox had to bend and allow the director to do it correctly instead of f***ing with it like they have every other property they have.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 01:21 PM) Angels a finalist as well. Their division is wide open. They might as well go for it. Is this Scioscias last last last chance to get it right?

Frazier is not worth Anderson or Fulmer. Or Adams IMO.

@ken_rosenthal Sources: #Orioles have increased offer to Davis, possibly as high as 7/168. Team hopeful, even somewhat optimistic, that it can strike deal.

Tony Snell has a distinctive thud when he bricks threes. I know this because I hear it a lot

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:07 PM) What if the Sox got Lawrie, Frazier, CarGo, and Upton within the next 24 hours? This forum would explode lol. Wat

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) Seems they're trying to trade Soler to open up a spot for Heyward Joel ShermanVerified account ‏@Joelsherman1 #Cubs finished 2d for Shelby Miller. Were willing to include Soler. But Atl liked #Diamondbacks deal too much to pass up They have a spot for Heyward, Fowler isn't there. Soler isn't guaranteed anything, he was not what they wanted him to be If they want Heyward, they can go get him regardless of Soler

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine 34m34 minutes ago Cubs not done yet according to source . Big time outfielder next ? Hayward -Gordan - Car Go ? This man has not had a good offseason in terms of predictions. He had Samardzija back to the Cubs for something like 5/65M, Price was also a done deal He also thought Baez was sufficient to trade for Quintana

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:59 AM) Which is why they shouldn't get Reddick. Another rent? Lord help us. Yea, yea, they'll extend him, they'll flip him...and they never do either. And saving draft choices isn't a savings if you are dealing away your prospects, which is what would happen. The clown gming has got to stop. And the love affairs with the As never end up well. See how the Cubs did it -they actually had a deal worked out for Castro before submitting the bid for Zobrist. You mean the Cubs don't plan on playing mediocre players at every position just because they aren't heroes? Weird

Marty Bennett placed on IR

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:19 PM) We're not trading for Fernandez. We don't have enough for him anyway, unless we counterintuitively traded Sale, or included Abreu. This thread was made to discuss the other teams trading for Fernandez, since PHT now includes general rumors. Everyone talking about it was pretty clear in telling people that it was imagination, not reality. No need to police a thread

Can't multi vote on the last option

A lot of chatter on Twitter that the Cardinals are going to trade Wong for starting pitching

@joelsherman1 Can confirm @jonmorosi Gyorko is going from #Padres to #stlcards in trade

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 09:02 AM) This could be out of the box, but what if the Sox signed Chris Davis to play third base? That would be interesting to say the least. I would rather sign or trade for a guy that has a lot of experience playing his own position

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 08:56 AM) Go visit a school and watch their Christmas, I mean Winter Season, play. They have colleges with Diversity Departments warning people that even a Christmas tree would be bad form and not 'inclusive'. I have, public school district 300. My daughter sang Christmas songs, draedel song, and happy holidays. It wasn't nearly as bleached horrifying as you suggest

I'm gonna try and take my kids to the earliest Sunday matinee possible

Congrats Jenks!

The trade is now on hold
