QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 10:15 PM) Yeah, I experienced something similar when I would play video games after I had taken a class in game programming. "I wonder what code they used to make ___ happen..." etc. rather than enjoying the game QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 23, 2016 -> 07:50 AM) If anything, it made me want to go see films I wasnt open to seeing before and appreciate them. I just can't enjoy them or myself. Im sitting in the theater and everyone's cheering and I'm just like wondering how they did things with a massive headache. Movies that I thought were terrible, I have a deeper appreciation for. There are some people who's work I really hate but I appreciate their craft so much more now than before.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) If you want to talk about it then make a dedicated thread with a subtitle indicating spoilers beware, like we did with avengers and TDK and also GoT I'll post it up Thursday morning. If I can't contain myself, I'll do it tomorrow.

Didn't want him or his horrible contract anywhere the Sox.

I've noticed that it has become harder and harder for me to lose myself in the movie going experience, the more filmmaking I do, the more I learn about the craft and what goes into it as I climb the ladder. I noticed this when I saw The Force Awakens, I was so excited and pumped up but when the movie started I could stop thinking about how they did stuff, why they made the filmmaking and aesthetic choices they did, etc. rather than losing myself in the film. I thought the movie was great but I couldn't enjoy myself. Ever since that, everytime I see a movie for the first time in the theater it's been like that. Does this make sense to anyone?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) JS, I have to say that your above review starting off with you saying you were merely satisfied is a huge red flag for me. The RT and IMDb reviews don't really matter, you have been championing this movie for months and just satisfied is not something that would make me want to go out of my way to see it. The critics seem to be echoing the same thoughts, the movie is distracted and incoherent, explosions and fights are put in place of plot and character development Oh, my bad. I really loved this movie. I didn't mean to undersell it, I was tired of writing the same thing on different sites and blogs. I wrote and talked about it a lot last night, got home at 2am and still haven't slept. I meant that as a very good thing. I would personally put this up there with the best CBMs of all time. It was everything that I personally hoped it would be and my expectations were succeeded. It's also hard to explain why I love it because everything is a spoiler. But again, don't read the reviews and watch the movie unbiased. And please, please see it because I need people to talk to about it because I'm going crazy over here.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 05:45 PM) 29% on RT. This might be the largest disparity between IMDB rating and RT score EVER. But more reviews are coming in and I urge you to see it and judge it for yourself. I loved the movie but I did have a couple complaints regarding the filmmaking, once people see it I'll share them.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 05:15 PM) Early reviews are pretty much terrible across the board thus far. Not surprised at all given this is a Snyder joint. Go see it for yourself. I like to read reviews after I see a movie, never before.

QUOTE (BrianAnderson @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) I may be in the minority here. But does anybody really have any more faith in Latos, Danks, or Johnson to throw better than Fulmer? Even with his inexperience? I'd rather take his lumps in the majors than suffer through Latos or Danks lumps. I sincerely think I'd take his 160-180 innings in the majors helping us win and hopefully acquire talent at the deadline. Don't want to destroy his confidence. If rather him come up late than early.

Warner Bros just announced a top secret, event film that comes out on 8/11/17

Brian Anderson and Nick Swisher

I had Fulmer taking Danks' spot in the rotation next year but if they ways he's been pitching, I think he comes up after the break in a bullpen role before joining the rotation late this year. Edited

So the DCEU is underway and we're getting at least two movies a year from here on out: 2016: Batman v. Superman & Suicide Squad 2017: Wonder Woman & Justice Leauge (Part 1) 2018: Aquaman & The Flash 2019: Shazam & Justice Leauge (Part 2) 2020: Green Lantern Corps. & Cyborg Here's a place where people can talk about the movies and what's going on with the DCEU ************************************************************* Just saw BvS last night and I was satisfied as a fan of the lore, as a fan of films and filmmaking. There is a lot of stuff in the movie but none of it felt rushed or crammed. Everything had a place, every character had a role and everything had room to breathe. How the filmmakers were able to fully establish an universe in one movie (Granted we did get Man of Steel) is impressive. The world building was insane. The movie is somehow darker than Nolan's trilogy but it was quite funny. Never a dull moment, not a lot of unneeded fat if any. Henry Cavill had the best performance of the movie in my opinion. Jesse Eisenberg and Ben Affleck were great, Gal Gadot was a scene stealer and Amy Adams had a lot to do. One of the best fight scenes I've ever seen, all done in one take no less. The sound was great and the IMAX stuff was awesome. If I could describe the movie in terms of style it's a combination of TDK Trilogy, Wathmen, and the Empire Strikes Back. With shades of Mad Max and a trippy Terminator beat. There's some supernatural element to it, which I'm sure will be explained later on. I think it was easily better than both Avengers movies and is up there with the TDK films in terms of quality. I own and have read a ton of comics regarding these characters and I have no idea where they're going from here. It's exciting. Go see the movie.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Mar 10, 2016 -> 12:49 PM) I understand Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes Captain America is on the rebellious side of the Civil War to protect Bucky, but can anyone who has read the Civil War comics explain why Tony Stark is the "play-by-the-rules, yay government oversight" guy? It's been a while since I read it but here you go. The New Warriors fight Nitro and their battle levels a city, resulting in the destruction of an elementary school and all the students are killed as a result. Tony was against the bill at first but this changes his mind and he supports it, remember he's on the few Marvel characters where his secret identity is known to the public. The guilt from his years of fighting crime and his struggle with alcoholism really make him see things differently. In supporting the SHRA, he forgets that not everyone is as privileged as him and other heroes are struggling in their day to day lives and revealing their identities would be extremely dangerous Iron Man represents conservative thought and as always, Captain Americs represents liberal thought. People forget that Capt. America has always been a liberally progressive character. Some of the best Capt. comics are from his days stationed in Harlem in the 70s.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 10:20 AM) Daredevil Season 2 is the best superhero live action production by far, film or TV. It somehow blew its first season and Jessica Jones out of the water. It was good, it had some great moments, the third episode in particular.

QUOTE (Real @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) Is Sale projected or Quintana? too early to tell? edit: Home opener. Sale is the OD, it's been announced a while ago and who else would it be.

http://minorleaguemadhouse.com/2016/03/21/...2018-mlb-draft/ Seth Beer was one of my favorite high school players for the 2016 draft class and I was shocked when he announced that he would be enrolling in college early and forgoing his senior year in high school. I was even more shocked to see that he's one of the best players in the sport. #BeerTank

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 21, 2016 -> 02:22 AM) Yeah, sorry. Just like I can't ever hate Ozzie, I can't ever hate Kenny. Without them, no 2005. I was joking. I actually like Kenny more after all this LaRoche crap

JR said the issue is resolved but I think Adam Eaton and Chris Sale especially, should issue an apology to Kenny Williams

Ken Williams

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 19, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) My guess is that this incident blows over soon and Sale's recent comments change nothing. Sale will get traded when the Sox decide they're rebuilding. And I don't see that happening until at least next July. Grim

Driving to Iowa on Thursday morning to see Batman V. Superman in 70mm IMAX. #KeepFilmAlive #FamilyFirst Format Comparison Chart: http://youtu.be/dvUqXoAEdIc Apparently they shot the movie on 16mm, 35mm, 65mm and 15/70mm (IMAX format) film. And they used the Arri Alexa for a couple dialogue scenes, which is the best digital camera around and a GoPro camera for some POV on the Batmoblie. The Revenant was shot on the Alexa. I was unfortunate enough to use one once, we rigged it to my chest on a steadicam and the results were amazing and I'm a film guy so take that as you will.

None, not a chance in hell, zilch
