  1. I agreed with you. And a big part of his vision was going more kid friendly.
  2. I hope the tennis media is able to remain respectful to the daughter during Wimbledon. All it takes is one idiot to ruin everything. I’m sure they’re fine actually, but I don’t know if their setup over there might allow for someone outside the tennis circles to get in and ask some stupid crap.
  3. Sure, they were always for the kids but like you’re suggesting, Lucas took it to the extreme. Even being kid friendly, the originals had a bit of edge to them, pretty much all in the form of Han. But Lucas even tried to take that away with the whole “Han shot first” fiasco. There’s three things about those prequels that are so over the top kiddy, which just so happen to be three things that pretty much ruin the movies for me. 1. 6 year old Anakin 2. The army of droids, giving you an easy path to an endless supply of “bloodless” kills 3. jarjar
  4. Oh cool. I thought it was still a longer wait. The rest is supposed to be two movie length episodes.
  5. I just don’t want to see constant escapes from certain death. They played that card a few too many times in Kenobi and it cheapens it. I guess it doesn’t quite measure up to episode 9s “hey, by the way, Palpatine is still alive” but it was a bit much. That said, I did enjoy it a lot. Fleshing out Leia’s character was great. Shes such an important piece to those movies, but I feel like she never gets as much love as she deserves.
  6. It's a great show. Starting from the beginning now and watching through, I'd imagine the rapid aging of the child actors is really going to stick out.
  7. Their own description says it’s for kids and it’s rated TV-Y7, so I actually overshot on my number earlier. If you enjoy that, great for you. I couldn’t make it through more than a handful of episodes. The kiddie friendly approach is what gave us the prequels, it’s not something I can stomach.
  8. Sorry, those shows were aimed at 13 year olds. Couldn’t do it.
  9. That’s their new thing now, no one can ever die. It cheapens the whole process.
  10. One thing drove me crazy with Kenobi: how completely ineffective a lightsaber through the chest can be
  11. I actually did place Bodger in that picture. I assumed Hawerchuk but wasn't 100% sure. But now that it's confirmed, I officially call BS on that "best hockey player" label.
  12. Is that Dale Hawerchuk?
  13. Maybe it's mostly due to playing for that team, but I've never seen anything resembling an NHL goalie when I've seen him play.
  14. Taro nailed it. Everyone wants different things.
  15. What I don’t understand is why the 40 year old wanted that. I get that some guys just don’t want to walk away from the game, but there have to be some limits. Maybe the situation wasn’t as unwanted as we might think.
  16. Supervisor just assumes it would be mouse-o.
  17. Does anyone want to do some research? I'll pay you with a beer the next time I'm in Buffalo (aka. never). How many teams have also fallen victim to wrong brother syndrome?
  18. Ahhh how could I forget that one? It probably gets blurred a bit since he hasn’t quite caught his father’s numbers yet.
  19. Adam Sandler. The NBA. What else can they throw in there that sucks?
  20. They had to have gotten the right brother at least once. I'm going to have to start reading up on Steve Hasek.
  21. So you want to trade for a guy that you plan on throwing in the press box? I know they have to add money, but there has to be a more productive way than that. It's essentially what they did here with Bishop, but you can't do that 3 or 4 times... well you can, but I don't see that as the plan moving forward.
  22. They always love their own, the guy they drafted. I love this hypothetical because all three goalies wound up here anyway… and all at the worst possible time.
  23. Does the vet even want to sign on if he sees that possibility out there?
