This is my favorite. I choose to believe it as absolutely true.

Game discussion thread GDT : Leafs at Sabres 3-25 7pm

On second thought, count me out. -
Ah! Back in my seeing-every-movie-for-free-routine :) Finding Dory- I think it's the best Pixar sequel ever. I even liked it better than Finding Nemo. Children's movies about mental health are such a Good Thing, and Finding Dory made me cry several times. Beautiful movie. Swiss Army Man- Very mediocre. By its presentation, you'd think that this is a meaningful movie laden with metaphor but it's actually a straight forward movie about a guy with a super corpse friend. Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe were both fine, but there wasn't really anything in the script for them to lean into. I liked the first song that used the character's voices because it seemed like Paul Dano had a looping pedal going on in his head, and I love that as a representation of what a creative mind would/could do when faced with the loneliness and severity of being trapped on an island. After the first time, though, the singing parts of the soundtrack were just boring and didn't add anything else to the movie. The end was a disaster. And apparently they weren't expecting any women to go see this movie, or anybody that's not a 15 year old boy. Had I seen this movie from ages 14-17, I probably would've loved it. Central Intelligence- Good movie with a terrible name. Kevin Hart and the Rock have such a fun bromance. Aaron Paul and Amy Ryan (Holly from The Office) are both really fun, too. It has a similar tone to 21 Jump Street, but I like it a whole lot more. Just a smart, fun, well put together movie. The Conjuring 1 & 2- The Conjuring is a really beautifully atmospheric movie. The camera work and pacing are enough to sell me. The last 20-30 minutes are pretty lame, though. It's one of those scary movies that are more about the tension than the actual scary stuff that happens. The Conjuring 2, which is out right now, was much less beautiful and even lamer in the plot department. I wouldn't recommend it. The Shallows- A fun shark attack movie. Like, it's played straight and has serious moments, but this movie is fun. And the people who made it had fun. There are several absurd things that happen that the movie owns completely. None of this being embarrassed about what they're putting on the screen like GoT constantly is. What made the Shallows unique was all the underwater shots, specifically of the surf. I love swimming in the ocean, and they did a fantastic job visually representing what it feels like, and why it's so damn fun. Blake Lively did a good job, but the movie showed A LOT of shots of her body/booty. It almost reached the point of being a little weird, but thankfully didn't quite make it. And at home: American Gangster- Denzel at his finest. This is a fantastic film, but nothing really feels special or intense or present. It's more of a profile of Frank Lucas's empire that doesn't follow normal plotting or dramatic constructs. Beautifully shot, beautifully acted. I still don't totally know what to make of it. Man on Fire- Another Denzel. It was good but not great. The sporadic way it's shot is neat, and illuminates the mind of Denzel's character in an interesting light, but outside of that the movie isn't anything too special or amazing.

1) Hire somebody with actual wit and savvy to run the twitter account. 2) Design a new NHL website from scratch and force the league to shut down their pathetic bandwidth sucking excuse of a website. 3) All music in the arena will be live. -There'll be an organist in the rafters (held to the standard that he can only play the GoT theme once every 3 games). -There'll be a ~15 piece brass band mic'd up from the 200s to play funk. Maybe a drum line behind them. -There'll be a small stage near the ice for local bands to play. Different one every game. I am in charge of the selection process. 4) Hire Robviously as the uniform Czar. 5) Give rip a new team jersey that has some BS number on it. When he's thanking me I lean in and whisper "you're fired." 6) Continue not having ice girls. 7) Get some little kid hockey teams on the ice for short games during intermission. 8) Fire Bylsma based solely on my personal misgivings. 9) Meddle Samson to center ice. 10) Make a deal with one of the legendary wing places (maybe Duff's) to put several wings places in the Arena. 11) Get rid of the corporate sponsor names and call the Arena something cool. Like Knox Rink or somesuch. 12) Ditch the metal detectors and hire Derek Roy as head of security. 13) Steal all of Trueblue's good ideas: Napping, getting rid of Rob Ray, WiFi, etc.

Evander Kane : Two crime reports filed in nightclub incident
qwksndmonster replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
I know that we know nothing. But I don't trust the system, and no facts actually turned up last time. My human reaction is that I'll have a really hard time letting go of my doubt. -
Finally got home and watched the video. Modo. <3

Evander Kane : Two crime reports filed in nightclub incident
qwksndmonster replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
Blech. I don't trust Kane as a human being anymore. He's a good player, but I'm really not sure if I still want him on the team. Even if this incident goes the way of the last one (radio silence for 2 months and then it's quietly said to have been nothing), I can't trust that Kane didn't do anything. Our justice system has failed too many women in the past. -
It's a different kind of rush to have a perfectly labeled folder full of movies and tv shows. As for games, sticking to physical copies is a good idea. It's only a matter of time before all companies are selling you the right to play their game until they shut their servers off.

That was the only game all year I was impressed with Bogo. His scoring pace over the last 3rd of the season was pretty impressive, too.

Sabres sign RW Kyle Okposo for 7 years, $42 mill
qwksndmonster replied to Hoss's topic in The Aud Club
What are you doooooiiinnngggg Foligno. -
Well, Sam also played with ROR earlier in the season and with Jack later on. With how much Sam improved as the year went on, I think he would be just as good with ROR.

That's really cute. He better not ever say it again or the Torontonians will run him out of town.

At a family gathering at my uncle's swanky house. It's so nice to drink beers with family members I haven't seen in ages.

That's an absolutely sick cap hit for MacKinnon. I'm jelly.

The middle one is really nice. I'm entranced by the top one, though. It looks like the logo of a Sega Genesis game that takes place in space, or the groovy lettering on some fancy sneakers.
