https://twitter.com/DanHayesMLB/status/930148376607444992 I really enjoyed reading Haye's stuff on CSN.com and I thought he was pretty good and really informative on the Sox talk podcast. I wonder who will replace him and where Hayes will end up.

I saw Justice Leauge last night. If you didn't like the previous DCEU films, you'll enjoy JL. It's a Snyder film through and through but you can feel Whedon in some scenes, there's a scene in the Batcave that's very Whedonesque. You can tell what scenes were done during the reshoots. There's a sequence that's been shown in the trailers of Bruce Wayne recruiting Aquaman. It was shot on location and looks beautiful but as the sequence is winding down and Bruce and Arthur are talking, there are a few shots of Aquaman where he's clearly standing against a CGI'd backdrop. I would also say that most of the scenes with Superman were reshoot because you can tell that they digitally erased Henry Cavill's beard, which was really obvious. A producer said that 15%/20% of the movie was reshot. I hated the editing, it really took me out of the beginning of the movie as it was really clunky to start off and it seemed like the first act of the movie could've been arranged better in terms of the order of the scenes to better achieve more flow and rhythm. I read in an article from the WSJ that the CEO of WB mandated that the film be less than 2 hours, watching the film I am willing to bet that he made that demand late in the game because the editing was that clunky. I had problems with the CGI too. I also had big problems with the score because the movie uses the Superman theme by John Williams and Danny Elfman's Batman theme. It just yells laziness to me and it spits in the face of continuity as you're bringing in music from previous incarnations of the characters. This Batman and Superman already had their own themes and motifs, why not use them? That's a conversation for another time. I can't really get into what I liked without spoiling anything but... The movie was very well paced and moved very quickly. It felt like I was watching a cartoon, giddy from start to finish. There are some cool visual sets ups as well. The best part of the movie was by far the cast, they make you forgive all the film's flaws. Each character had a moment to shine but the Flash was the standout. He was hilarious and brought a lot of energy to the table. Aquaman was very cool and had the funniest scene in the film. I'm very excited for his solo flick. It's been the quietest production of all the DCEU flicks so far and I know that people have seen footage from the film. I was surprised at how standalone the movie was and the two after credit scenes are fantastic, especially the last one. Overall, I liked and enjoyed the movie and was extremely entertained by it but seems like it was made to appease people rather than be a great movie if that makes sense. And I realize that a lot of my issues with could've been solved if Snyder was able to finish the film himself but I respect him for leaving it behind to be with his family. What happened to him was terrible. It's hard to jump into someone else's project and finish it for them, I can only imagine that with the circumstances behind Snyder's departure, Joss Whedon faced an impossible task but he managed to stick the landing for Snyder. I wonder if Whedon felt regulated to being a yes man because he doesn't carry the weight at WB that Snyder does. I think the film highlights WB's main flaw with these movies, the suits are too involved and very reactionary. After seeing it, I think that they should've doubled down on whatever Snyder's original version of the film was and put all their strength and efforts into making that great. It felt like there was a better movie somewhere than what we got.

George Takei says Russians are setting him up lol This reminds me of when Liberace would sue anyone for saying that he was gay and saying things like his rivals in the music industry and gay men were trying to kill him

Ellen Page posted something on Facebook this morning that everyone should read http://variety.com/2017/film/news/ellen-pa...len-1202612134/

I can see Eloy with the ML team around the time of the break, maybe even a little before

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 04:19 PM) http://deadline.com/2017/11/star-wars-new-...edi-1202204843/ Rian Johnson (director of Episode VIII) is writing and directing a new Star Wars trilogy that is not connected to the main saga. I'm excited about this because I think he is talented and I'm happy they are expanding the universe outside of the main saga on film (Rogue One and the Han Solo movie are pretty damn connected to the main saga) and this also means that Disney/Lucasfilm are really happy with how Episode VIII turned out. This is a great way to get people from talking about Disney's treatment of the LA Times. Shocked that Rian Johnson would tie himself to something for 10-12 years. I know he's only slated to write and direct the first but I think that he would be involved in all three in some compacity. And this ensures that Disney wont rush into Epsiode 10.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 9, 2017 -> 04:12 PM) Louis CK's is especially creepy given his bit after bit about how men are awful and treat women like sex objects. The best art comes when you're creating from experience.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 10:42 AM) Thor: Ragnarok was one of the better Marvel movies. Parts of it felt like a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. I really hate GOTG Vol.2. Everything that I hated about it, Ragnarok excelled at.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 11:45 AM) I think it would be unwise of the Cardinals to expect Molina to remain completely healthy until he is 38 years old. There are a lot of miles on those legs. They also gave him a no-trade clause Disregard, I meant that he has 10/5

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 09:50 AM) Took my wife to the Morrissey show last night. I had a much better time than anticipated. The old guy can still croon. Everytime that I've bought tickets to see him with the exception of Riot Fest, he canceled. Really love the new single.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Nov 1, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) Where did you see it already? I see there is a 12:20am showing later a the Marcus by me. Someone want to test Movie Pass and go see like a 9:30pm movie and then when the clock hits 12, grab a Thor ticket? haha I work for Deluxe during the day.

I watched Girls Trip this morning for the third time and I think its the best original comedy since the Hangover or Bridesmaids. I really hope Tiffany Hadish gets some Oscar love, it looks like she's gearing up for a campaign.

I really, really, really liked Thor Ragnarok. I was shocked at how standalone it was, outside of a couple very subtle lines it didn't really focus on the Infinity Stone. Cate Blanchett and Tessa Thompson were both great. Ruffalo was hilarious but the best character was Korg who had me laughing the entire time he was on screen. I don't know where I would rank this out of all the MCU films but its up there.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 31, 2017 -> 05:21 PM) And I'd rather have Robert than Engel Dilly Dilly

I don't think it was ever a secret or that anyone doubted that Kevin Spacey was gay.

I wonder if Kevin Spacey has any ties to those infamous parties thrown by Bryan Singer and Roland Emmerich, where they would invite (young) male talent over to Emmerich's mansion and have sex with them. Those parties are pretty much orgies for gay Hollywood.

I mentioned the Giants before but I can see the Braves being interested in Stanton. they got a new stadium that they have to fill.

He's going to look really good playing for the Giants.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 27, 2017 -> 07:01 AM) I've seen 3 movies with moviepass since I received it close to 3 weeks ago. It is very easy to use. I saw Happy Death Day the day it came out on the 13th (friend wanted to see it and I wanted to test it), the next day after that I saw IT again (wanted to test the 24 hour rule), and then for the hell of it, I saw Jigsaw last night which was bad (not that I expected much) but it was a very small audience. I figure I will get a lot of use out of it with Thor, Justice League, Star Wars, Murder on the Orient Express coming out and even fringe movies I wouldn't pay to see it but likely will like Bad Moms 2 and Daddy's Home 2 (first one I thought was funny of each). It also helps that it is going to be colder out. Me and my buddy are going to start going one weeknight a week. So see Geostorm, it's looks to be what Movie Pass was invented for

I am going to sign up for MoviePass tomorrow after I do some more research. I will admit that I was a bit skeptical of the idea but I know some people who really love it.
