I saw both Sicario and Pawn Sacrifice today I was reminded that Tobey Maguire could act, and the cinematography is really good just like every movie shot by Bradford Young (Who is a young, black cinematographer who is being hailed as the next Roger Deakins. If you love movies, I suggest you look him up on youtube. His DP/40 interview is fantastic). However, all I could think as I watched was that the movie should've been directed by David Fincher, as his sensibilities really would've suited the material. Really solid movie. If I was a member of the Academy, I would give Sicario my vote for best picture hands down (Ex Machina a close second). Holy s*** was I at the edge of my seat the entire time. Roger Deakins might finally win his Oscar, as the whole film looked beautiful really fluid camera work. Benecio Del Toro should get some award buzz too, as will Emily Blunt, who has made herself into a major leading lady over the course of the past few years. I really like Denis Villeneuve as a director and the Blade Runner sequel couldn't be in better hands.

Comment From Adam If the Braves wind up with the #1 pick, who should they take? Kiley McDaniel: right now, I’d take Blake Rutherford, prep OF from SoCal Kiley McDaniel: Short report on him is OF tweener, 55 runner, 55 raw power, 60 bat, LH has hit everywhere for the last three summers. If you have read me for awhile, you know I don’t put 60 bat on almost anyone, even in the minors.

I have been watching the debate and when Trump started talking, I flipped it to the Sox game and..............

Saw Carol at the film festival office and it's the best movie that I have seen so far. And people that I know have both confirmed and debunked the Nolan/Akira rumor. And he's not going to direct Akira, he's going to shepard it like he did Man Of Steel.

Good to hear

I'll go in more detail later but I would love to see the Sox take a chance on Kyle Kendrick of the Rockies.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 10:56 PM) Why? To have him healthy going into next year. Hahn said that his innings are precious resource as far as this year is concerned and that they wanted to keep an eye on them. Minors and majors combined, he's at 135I to 140? Plus what is he pitching for, not like the Sox are contending.

Shut down Rodon?

The new Christopher Nolan film comes out July 21st, 2017.

Got a job with the Chicago International Film Festival.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 03:59 PM) I don't get the appeal of Jason Heyward. He's going to be so overpaid, and he's not even that good. Arguably the best defensive outfielder in all of baseball, he got off to a slow start with STL but he's picked it up. Plus, he's only 25.

http://m.mlb.com/news/article/144313894/ji...draft-prospects Guys that I like early: Blake Rutherford, Joey Wentz, Jason Groome, Alec Hanson, AJ Puk, and Riley Pint

Three games against KC, three losses.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 01:19 PM) If someone does not have a reddit, will you post your top 100 here, or DM me the list? You can still access Reddit without an account

About to start our reports over at the MLB Draft subreddit. Doing the top 100 players.

Called it.

I am going to say this here, but I hope Thompson takes Avi's spot next year.

Would you guys shut Rodon down after this start?

Show Me A Hero is great, love David Simon and everything he does, he's one if my favorite writers. It also helps that it features a good bit of Bruce Springsteen.

I thought this said, "How much is a good slut." And I was going to say, "whatever you're willing to pay."

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 25, 2015 -> 06:32 AM) Watched Birdman last night. It was boring and pointless. I don't get why it was so lauded by critics and won awards. It was one of the dullest and most uninteresting films that I've ever watched. 1.5 stars out of 5. Say what you will about empty blockbusters and franchise flicks. Nothing is worst than bad Oscar bait.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 27, 2015 -> 03:08 PM) A round Star Wars droid? Yep.

I should be getting a BB8 sent to me come next Thursday/Friday.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 26, 2015 -> 10:33 PM) While I don't hate Ventura as the manager I think it's time for a change/a new direction. His biggest problem has been the worthlessness of about 1/3 of his team. It's not the manager's fault but a change of voice would do wonders.
