Is the new Star Trek show coming to CBS cable channel. It's always mentioned with CBS All Access, is that their streaming app?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 04:57 PM) I got 5 on it. Let's actually make one. We can make a video, it would be hilarious.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) Fincher deserves better than that. If you've been following his career lately, you'd know two things: He's been flirting with doing a blockbuster recently for a very long time and came very close with an adaptation of 20,000 Leauges Under The Sea, the plug was pulled because he and Disbey couldn't come to an agreement on casting. He wanted Brad Pitt, Dinsey wanted Channing Tatum. Secondly, he was developing a few shows at HBO and the plug was pulled on those over financial reasons. This might be a career move to get traction on those projects again. If he has a hit blockbuster l, he would be able to do whatever he wants. He's had a really great career but he's doesn't have the hit tentpoles movie. Alien 3 was a disaster and Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was a great movie but lost a lot of money.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 04:34 PM) They can't stop Cuban from bidding on a team. They can not vote for him to own a team. I know that the fact that it's something they won't even seriously consider is ridiculous. Just going off his NBA, he turned a laughing stock franchise and turned them into a perennial contender. And if you want to say he's a loose canon, the guy has mellowed a lot over the course of the past few years.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) Not supposed to make sense for the fans, it's supposed to make cents for the owners. If someone has the financial ability to bankroll a sports franchise and that money is clean, isn't that all matters? And I think he can be an owner of a team he just can't have a controlling interest. Because he was allowed to bid on that Rangers when they were in bankruptcy court, where he was partnered with Jim Crane. Maybe Cuban isn't enough of an old white man and maybe that scares the MLB owners. f***, Jeffery Loria can own a team but not Mark Cuban.

I think having the owner's committee approve a new owner is ridiculous. It never made any sense to me.

Cuban would be an ideal owner, he's tried to buy a MLB team a couple times.

I was of the understanding that once JR passes on that his son would take control of both the Bulls and Sox, but he would most likely sell the Sox because he has no interest in running the team.

Link to the tweet?

David Fincher is in talks to direct the World War Z sequel.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 01:42 AM) Calling up Hansen seems completely absurd. Even if the team was in contention I'd be against it. He was *broken* in college less than 4 months ago. The Chris Sale schedule doesn't work for everyone. I was talking in the sense of the absolute earliest. I think we'll see hin on the southside in 2018

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 08:58 PM) i hope we dont rush these guys too much. september callup for hansen is too soon IMO, let him continue to develop in the minors fisher also 2/2 with a 2b and a BB tonight I think the soonest Hansen is called up is after the break next year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 10:53 PM) Such a streaky pen. Once it blows a game in a series, it seems they blow another one. if you want to blame the performance of the bullpen (post ASB), look no further than Sale

I dont think Robertson is declining in talent, I think he's been over used.

Man, the pen is taxed.

Would like to see him get s*** down at the conclusion of the MILB season he can get some time to rest and start prepping to be a starter. Maybe him being called up, pushes Fulmer to the rotation.

QUOTE (Nixon @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 07:29 PM) I don't think Remains of the Day is an obscure reference at all. Just pointing at a performance in a film that had an actor turned in even an ounce less of an effort the whole thing would have been loss. Yes, Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson are both pretty much living legends. Sorry, I guess that point wasn't clearly articulated. John Boyega was great in Attack the Block before he was in The Force Awakens. Him and Oscar Isaac were the only reason I was even in the theater for that. I haven't seen The Prestige in a long time, I was just all right with it. Didn't stick with me like his take on Dieter Dengler in Rescue Dawn (maybe it's because I'd seen the documentary), or Empire of the Sun (again maybe due to familiarity with subject). Maybe time for a revisit. That other WW2 flick looks pretty good too. Hacksaw Ridge. So we'll have a new Pacific WW2 movie to go with Dunkirk. I love Rescue Dawn, Im a giant fan of Herzog. I haven't seen Empire of the Sun in a long, long time Hacksaw Ridges looks awesome. Check out this movie called, Allied. It stars Marion Cotillard and Brad Pitt and they play spies in WW2. It's more of a romance film but it looks great.

I think that the Sox should start him as well.

I'm still high on Adolfo but he needs to play a full season, injurie are killing his development

QUOTE (Nixon @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 04:41 PM) Lowden and Keoghan were in '71 which is a fun chase/action film. Those two and + Bernard were in that War & Peace miniseries I haven't forced myself to sit through (Paul Dano as Pierre lol) yet so they're not total amateurs. Still, it's not like Nolan is making Remains of the Day or something that's going to require a huge effort on their part. I'm probably stepping in it with that phrasing but I don't really care for Nolan and his characters are usually the thinnest part of the movies. And RE: Matt Damon, I think he's going to be ok. Didn't you guys see the trailer for The Great Wall? I think he is underrated when it comes to directing actors. When people talk about Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight, no one gives him any credit. Heath Ledger just didn't walk on set and BAM, he was directed and instructed by Nolan on how to play that part. The Prestige is filled with great performances and has my favorite performance by Christian Bale. What an obscure reference, I haven't seen Remains of the Days in a long time but I don't get why you brought it up. If you're talking about that films casting, I think most of that cast were already established (some were superstars) at that point in their careers by the time that film came out. I never said the young cast of Dunkirk were amateurs but despite some of them having a few small credits to their names, they are unknown, just like how John Boyega and Daisy Ridley were unknown when they joined The Force Awakens. I am curious to see how Dunkirk is going to play out. You would think that the film based on its historical subject matter and this director, would come out right in awards season but it's coming out in the middle of summer but so did Saving Private Ryan. And in every press release, the movie is being sold not as a war film but as an 'epic action thriller', which has me more intrigued.

QUOTE (Nixon @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 10:25 AM) Who is the unknown in the cast? I know he cast the teeny bopper dude, but outside of that it looks like he's got some big hitters (Hardy, Rylance, Branagh) Hardy, Rylance and Branagh are all supporting roles. The cast is lead by Fionn Whitehead (who's been reported as being the lead), Jack Lowden, Anuerin Bernard, Barry Keoghan and Harry Stlyes, who is an unknown actor.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) Desperately? He's coming off The Martian, one of the best movies of the past decade, for which he won Best Actor at the Golden Globes. Holy crap, I forgot about that movie (wasn't a big fan) but outside of that its been a tough going. Monuments Men, Elysium, We Bought a Zoo. I could go on.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 8, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) I would LOVE a Suicide Squad directed by Tarantino and not just because of the fan made "Tarantino's Suicide Squad" trailer. I thought the same thing watching the movie, that how the source material is perfectly suited to Tarantino but that won't happen.
