  1. I am having heart surgery next week and wated to know if anyone knows any good nutritionist in the Chicago area. This is not my first rodeo with heart surgery and it destroyed my body, I would like avoid that this time around and really be as healthy as I can, since I will not be able to work out for a moment. So if you know any good nutritionist or personal trainers, please let me know.
  2. I think that if they focus on improving on defense, that they could be .500 team.
  3. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:11 PM) What do you mean? That's the whole problem with the movie. That's why that whole story line was f***ing stupid. Obviously there will be more to it than just. "You scared my face and made me bald, now you have to die."
  4. QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 12:00 PM) i really can't see that and the revenge factor. but in this movie, he was cold and uncaring. his only goal was killing. just remember this part, i am going to be very cryptic in this. toward the end, he was driving in a car after a meeting, the person driving was kinda of looking at him and he was impersonal. not feeling or facial feelings being shown. again for me, that was denoting his lack of emotion. I meant by that last bit in my post We will get the ESB of our dreams in Bond 25
  5. QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 11:41 AM) btw, what was anyone opinion of Dr. Moriarty the actor performance in the movie. You could have done without the character or make his ties to that one organization more apparent.
  6. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 11:34 AM) I'm not suggesting you can't have fun with the movie. Even Skyfall had its moments. But I like the Bond films where Bond feels some emotion, he feels loss, rejection, devastation, etc. which fuels him to go get some revenge. That to me was a tonal shift that made these last few enjoyable. He had it in this one, but the explanation trying to tie it all together was so bad. And the previous three Craig films did that, this is a different stage in the character's journey. This movie was Bond confident in who he is and his place in the world. We don't need a super dark and emotional story because the character has moved on from that point of his life. Regarding Waltz, I thought the character was appropriate for the world that was started in Casino Royale. Again, the Waltz character was just a tease and he will have a much bigger role in Bond 25, where we will get Oberhauser fully formed and out for revenge of his own.
  7. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 10:58 AM) Count me in the camp that wanted this to be Skyfall 2.0, which I consider to be one of the best Bond films ever. 30 years ago it was fine to do the over-the-top spy movie. But that's been played out. Adding some emotional weight to the character is a GOOD thing. Making him more human is a GOOD thing. Making him more of a cartoon character is not, and that's what this movie fell back to. Spectre is not an over the top spy movie, it's still grounded in realism. Daniel Craig said it best, they started something with Casino Royale and it comes full circle with Spectre. He said that he liked that all the classic tropes were absent in CR because the character did not earn them yet. With Spectre being Bond fully formed, they were able to play with those tropes. And Spectre is not a spy movie at all, it's an adventure film.
  8. QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 07:09 AM) I hope they get every penny. When the fraternity first notified us, saying that they were taking legal action, they said that the three guys were pursuing their own cases as well.
  9. After I saw Spectre, me and my filmmaking partner had an interesting conversation. We all that know (it hasn't been confirmed but come on) that Daniel Craig is coming back for Bond 25 and that Spectre was conceived as the first part in a two part story, and that Sam Mendes has confirmed that he is not coming back to do Bond 25. Who would you hire to direct Bond 25? I said Joe Cornish, he directed Attack the Block, which has been his only directing gig to date, along with Edgar Wright (who would be another good choice) he co wrote The Adventures of Tintin and developed and wrote Ant-Man. He also had a hand in the Cornetto Trilogy. I would pick him because in terms of stlye, you wouldn't miss a beat with what was started in Spectre and he is a really good writer. And as of right now he is basically a director for hire, so he would not have a problem doing the concluding installment in a franchise that was started by someone else (Campbell and Mendes), that would ward off more established directors. He was JJ Abrams top choice to direct Star Trek 3 and he is the favorite to direct Gambit. EON Productions's distribution deal with Sony has been fulfiled with Spectre and they're looking for another studio to partner up. A lot of people are saying that Warner Brother is going to be that studio (Disney has no interest) and that they are going to hand it over to Christopher Nolan after the completion of the Daniel Craig era. I know that he has been having conistent conversations with EON since Inception came out but the timing has never been right. Some people reported that when they first started talking that the initial hurdle was the level of creative control that he would have over the film(s) and choosing his own Bond, which is really his only cavet. This collaboration would be very interesting because there has neer been a director of his caliber and clout to direct a Bond film. Its also funny because Mendes has said that Nolan has been his biggest influence on his Bond films and he was even brought in some of Nolan's most well know collaborators (Most notably Hoyte Van Hoytema - Cinematographer and Lee Smith - Editor) to work on Spectre.
  10. I've seen Spectre three times now. It is my favorite Bond movie of all time. From Casino Royale to Spectre, you have a complete story arc for the character. This is one of the best looking movies that I have seen in a while, maybe since Interstellar, which shouldn't be a shock because it was shot by the same cinematographer, Hoyte Van Hoytema. The set pieces were great, in particular the opening scene in Mexico which was made to look all like one continious shot and the car chase in Rome. And I am a sucker for large scale globetrotting movies. I think Spectre is getting mixed reviews for two main reasons, the first is that people wanted Skyfall 2.0, Spectre is the complete opposite, where Skyfall is Bond at his lowest point and a rather dark film, Spectre shows Bond at the top of his game and is a very light and enjoyable film and is very much a love story. My second reason is that Spectre is not a spy movie, it is an adventure film rather than a spy film, having seen the film thre times now, each time I was very much reminded of Raiders of the Lost Ark, a lot of the same beats are there. Dare I say that theyre the same movie... just kidding. My only real complaint is that it really underused Christoph Waltz as Oberhauser, but remember that Spectre was conceived as being the first part of a two part story that concludes in Bond 25 and Waltz is suppoused to play a much bigger role there. Another reason why I liked it so much is that it reminded me of On Her Majesty's Secret Service which has been until recently my favorite film in the series (its also the best book alongside Casino Royale in my opinion), I imagine that is where they are going to go in Bond 25, but the major scene in that story's climax has already been done in Casino Royale. Spectre also had the best kind of ending that a movie could have, it concluded the story of James Bond that began in Casino Royale but it leaves enough to the imagination that it can continue on in your head.
  11. QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) Seems every time there is a big college rape story it unravels and it's ultimately bulls***. Duke, Occidental, UVA and I am sure I am missing more. It's sad.
  12. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/r...facebook_151109 As a member of the organization and as a human being, I hope that they get to the bottom of what happened with 'Jackie' if she was indeed assaulted and I hope that justice comes if something did happen. As someone who has crossed paths with the people mentioned in the article multiple times and I feel terrible for the damage that the article has done to their lives both personally and professionally. As someone who is a member of the fraternity and someone who had to deal with multiple sexual assault cases within Greek life when I was a liaison for both Campus Programs and the Dean's Office at UIC, this issue always bothered me.
  13. The first report at Reddit is posted. It was written by myself and is about Will Benson. Here is the link: https://www.reddit.com/r/MLBDraft/comments/...ll_benson_1bof/
  14. QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 01:10 PM) If the #WhiteSox don't sign any free agents with a qualifying offer they'd have 3 picks in the top 50-55 players in the 2016 draft. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/662707171218612224 I hope not they need to make up for last year. I don't think that they're in a position to deal prospects YET and that they need all the picks they can get. Unless a player that fills both a long term and short term needs comes across the table and is interested in signing with the Sox, I would hope not.
  15. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 01:30 PM) I'm not sure that dude saw any movie at all, let alone Star Wars. I don't know if he's being for real or not but I do know that the movie was screened, I thought it was quite the concidence that after my friend who works on the Paramount lot told me that there was a screening that someone post this. http://variety.com/2015/film/news/new-trai...raq-1201632414/ My aunt Rita did the make up and costumes on this movie, hopefully people check it out.
  16. There was a screening of The Force Awakens today, apparently picture is about to be locked. Someone wrote this, https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/3r...oming_out_next/ Potential Spoilers, although its pretty spoiler free
  17. QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 4, 2015 -> 08:36 AM) you know.... i want you to truly believe me... i usually don't hate no one on this site.... except for those closet scrubs fans. but now i hate you.... i am a huge james bond fan. I am too, I've been rewatching all the films leading up to Spectre. Love the books as well. Favroite films are: Thunderball, Goldfinger, GoldenEye, ***On Her Majesty's Secret Service***, Casino Royale, and Skyfall.
  18. QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 04:29 PM) I've said it before, but if not for the Sox being completely bereft of positional talent, there is a great rationale for moving him. Enlighten me, because I don't get why you would trade a lead off man when there are so few of them in the game today. Unless you're getting a massive haul of prospects back and rebuilding, I don't see the logic.
  19. I'm stepping into a larger world My time here will be infrequent for a bit Brunch with PTA & The Nolan clan Expect details by years end. - Will McCrabb (@McCrabb_Will) Will McCrabb works in hollywood during work as a cinematopher (camera unit) and in post production, on top of that he is in the know of a lot of stuff. If you love movies, I really sugges that you follow him on Twitter. Basically, the first official details about the Nolan film will be announced before the Hollywood shutdown and PTA will announce his next feature at that time as well. We also might get the title to the Nolan film because there is a Warner Brothers investors meeting coming this month. And maybe some news regarding Justice Leauge, someone reported that each film (Part 1 & Part 2) is going to have a budget of 250M and that production starts next month.
  20. QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 01:43 PM) How did Sicario get 93% on RT? So boring and incoherent. In a year of great movies, that is easily the best film of the year.
  21. QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 2, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) Yeah, this certainly changes his market a bit. He'll get stung pretty good by the compensation attached but there will surely be a team who has a scouting department in love with Wieters out there. Hopefully not the Sox, I want them to have all the draft picks that they can get their hands on especially after loosing their second and third round picks last year.
  22. I would resign Albers, let Beckham walk, give Shark the QO and wait on Soto, since I do like Brantly.
