  1. That last scene gave me chills. Jimmy and Kim in sillouette is gorgeous. We're finally away from yellow, getting into oranges now.
  2. Shayamalan movies are basically just 2 hour twilight zone episodes.
  3. This is always my least favorite defense of terrible writers. People read it so they're doing their jobs!!! Yeah, and Suicide Squad made a truckload of money and won an oscar.
  4. Considering his only deal for a Russian was Kulikov, Murray may have left hating Lazy Russians even more.
  5. I know. I was shocked too. I still don't forgive him. He has to make 2 more good movies in a row in order for that to happen.
  6. McAvoy was ridiculously good in Split, Shayamalan's newest movie. It's a good one.
  7. Pi hacked True's account and is editing his posts.
  8. Because that's kind of similar to comparing their +/-. They play for different teams. Toronto's possession numbers are leaps and bounds ahead of the Sabres. You've seen the stats on build up play, zone entries, and playmaking. Those kinds of stats are designed to directly compare players on different teams.
  9. Nashville's defense is SICK. Ask Potato if you want a detailed rundown.
  10. She told Chuck to his face that he made a mistake to cover for Jimmy. Then when she and Jimmy returned to the car, she hit him in the arm 4 or 5 times. Then later that night she said "Man, your brother is one smart lawyer... A bad person to have as your enemy, so you better have all your tracks covered." This warning led Jimmy back to the copy shop, where he bribed the clerk. Kim knows that Jimmy up, but she understands his troubled relationship with Chuck. She's trying to keep accepting/loving Jimmy and keep moving forward in her professional life, but those things are on a collision course.
  11. Kim was already pissed off at Jimmy after Chuck told her what happened. She's no fool. And she feels very uneasy about Mesa Verde, hence all the stress about a semicolon. I think Kim is going to be pissed at Jimmy for stupidly rushing to Chuck's house and playing right into his plot. She warned him that he's one smart lawyer, and that Jimmy needs to watch himself. I think it will really hurt Kim that Jimmy wasn't able to express his hurt to her. Just like with the Kettlemans and the bingo meltdown, Jimmy played it cool to kim, trying to be zen about it. "Dalai Lama's got nothing on me." But then he blows up and has a meltdown. It'll be interesting to see if Jimmy ever comes to understand this blind spot he has, how he buries things until they boil over in a rage. At the same time, Kim is a very private person herself, much more than Jimmy, which I think is why she didn't push him to express himself after he learned about the tape. She needed to connect with him, but on some emotional level it's not there for her.
  12. Really excited for all of these series. Except Rags-Sens. Yuck.
  13. Why is old man Kesler on there.
  14. lol Yeah Cyclops sux. He literally blasts one thing open at the end and that's it. I imagine that they were off screen for thirty minutes while Jean Grey (I looked it up! E!) consoled him and tried to get him focused enough to be useful for 5 seconds. The thing I did like about Mystique's character was how every single young mutant named her as their hero. It was kinda like Saruman in the two towers: 5 total minutes of screentime, but we hear his name so often he's like an ever-present dark cloud hanging over it all.
  15. Maybe not all about those four characters. Quicksilver's screentime was fine, there just needed to be a little more direction for his character. But Jean Gray, X, and Magneto should've been the center of the movie.
  16. I just watched X-men Apocalypse and I enjoyed it. The script is not great, and downright hammy in parts, but it's never too much of an issue. Most of that is due to the EXCELLENT cast. I couldn't think of 2 better actors to play the young versions of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen than James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. Sophie Turner is really good as Jean Gray, and Jennifer Lawrence and Nick Hoult are fine. The really hammy script would be more of a problem if Michael Fassbender wasn't giving a huge, Shakespearean weight to his lines. The bad guy is super culty, which is squarely in my wheelhouse right now because I'm reading Helter Skelter. The biggest problem is the same as every other x-men film: they couldn't just commit to one or two characters to focus on. The movie should be all about Xavier, Magneto, Quicksilver, and Jean Gray. But Mistique, Beast, and especially Cyclops weigh down the story with boring stuff. And the cameo? That's how you do a cameo. I was expecting this movie to be utter garbage based on what I'd heard about it from friends and critics alike.
  17. Please push JJ away. That'd be terrific.
  18. Hockey coverage is so bland. Nobody has any sense of emotional cinematics. Give us a nice long wide shot of the hand shake line. Then give us a slow pan of the Toronto fans while they salute and cheer their young team despite their defeat. During all this, turn off the mics of the commentators. Blech, I just wanted to drink it in for a moment.
  19. Ovi. I think he's still hurt from that Kadri thing. Caps limp over the finish line.
  20. Ovi looks injured.
  21. That forecheck singlehandedly led to the best offensive sequence from the caps in at least a period.
  22. Nice quick whistle ref. The Caps make me want to vomit.
  23. Caps D-men need to do less shooting and more creating.
  24. Caps not forechecking because ????
