  1. Just had an epic computer malfunction at work right when Jones came to the plate, so I'm sorry... its my fault.
  2. What channel is game coming on? EDIT: Read Header
  3. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 2, 2017 -> 05:46 PM) Ghost in the Shell was just not a very coherent movie...despite ScarJo's best efforts. Those hoping for Lucy II, you're going to have to wait. Only fans of the manga will enjoy it, assuming they can get beyond the whitewashing. Or if you enjoy futuristic movies like The Fifth Element, but even that movie was more groundbreaking. It's hard for Ghost in the Shell to be groundbreaking because a lot of stuff has taken direct cues from it. Looking at you Matrix, which doesn't need a reboot.
  4. Im not trying to speak for the masses, as I can only speak for myself. I really enjoyed it, although I thought the movie really dragged during the origin stuff and that was its biggest flaw. They should've went with The Major being an absolute and avoid diving headfirst into the origin. And the costumes and props were f***ing amazing. Glad to see it be very faithful to the source material. f***, the movie got my mother (a black woman in her 50s) to check out the original anime film. The rollout to the movie reminded me of BvS, in that there was a lot of bad press surrounding the movie before it even hit theaters and people already started to form opinions on the finished product before they even seen it. I was pleased to see that it's during well overseas. There's a lot riding on this movie, not just the future of anime adaptions but the future of female fronted blockbusters. I would say there are only about 15 'movie stars' on the planet and ScarJo is not just one of them but she's one of the biggest as all her films do really well financially. If the one dependable female star has a movie that falters, a $100M+ movie at that, it's bad for actresses everywhere and movies in general as studios are going to get a very timid about greenlighting female led films. I guess we're going to have to wait a while for Furiousa for example. That's my take but as always you should see it for yourself and form your own opinion.
  5. They should totally bring back the vest. I think the Rockies are the only team that still wears them.
  6. QUOTE (SexiAlexei @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 04:57 PM) So the biggest fans who took a day off work are who they're gonna piss off? Good luck getting fans in. I worked from 3am to 12pm to catch this game. They could've called and rescheduled it over the weekend. Inexcusable
  7. Made a deal with the devil. Going to work at 3am Monday, I work till 11. So me and my family can attend the game. Our first opening day.
  8. QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) It's not really a matter of power stroke. Anderson needs to walk more before he leads off. Why can't he work on that while batting leadoff?
  9. QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) Anderson is a terrible idea. I wouldn't mess with his approach until he's completely comfortable at this level. He's never going to be patient. It's not him. If you're rebuilding, why not throw him there and let him develop in that spot? It's not like the team is competing for anything. What do they have to lose?
  10. I think it would be pretty cool to track who from the forum wins SoxMath going forward with what prize they picked. I won #SoxMath in August and won a 2005 decorated baseball. Before it counts, as anyone else here won before?
  11. I don't get the fascination with Anderson's power stroke, that's not what's going to make or break him as a player.
  12. QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 1, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) I want him to feel free to develop his power stroke and I worry at leadoff he'll feel pressure to just make any contact. I'd rather Anderson focus on contact and getting on base than developing his power swing.
  13. 69-93. Sale and Eaton are gone. Avi will be playing in the field. Impending trades. I think the Padres have the #1 pick wrapped up but the Sox should get a top 6 pick.
  14. I think Anderson should bat leadoff every single game and regardless of how he's doing, he should stay there the entire season. The Cubs did a similar thing with Rizzo when he came up with them, they batted him third everyday regardless of his performance.
  15. Ghost in the Shell is really, really good. Some of the best CGI I've ever seen and the cinematography is out of this world. Reminded me of Wes Anderson with all the symmetry going on. Hopefully it catches on for a sequel, everyone should go see it
  16. When I played my modeled my swing and in the box mannerisms off of Podsednik, so needless to say that I was always hurt and didn't hit for much power but he's one of my favorite players ever. Awesome
  17. I think the TV Show is set on Earth too
  18. QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) Thanks for posting. Caraballo weighing 190lbs is a joke. Dude is a big oaf and looks like he needs to cut a good amount of weight. Just watching his PFP's you can tell he's a long way from good shape. He didn't look big in any of the pictures/video that I've seen and those were from instructs.
  19. QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 11:58 AM) I'm looking forward to the IT movie but I'm still waiting for the official Dark Tower trailer. All we've gotten so far is an unfinished leaked one, people talking about the one they saw at CinemaCon and a poster. Usually what is shown at CinemaCon is never released online initially if ever. And according to Deluxe, Sony hasn't made the trailer available to anyone yet. My guess is with F8

    Does anyone here pay for Podcast? The site that host How Did This Get Made moved all the most popular episodes behind a paywall and I am debating myself on whether or not if I should pay for them?
  21. Is anyone excited for the Inhumans show? BlackBolt is one of my favorite characters ever and I was really excited to see him and the royal family brought to the big screen. I think making Inhumans a TV Show is a huge mistake.
