I thought it was great. Then again, I'm not a film snob like many on here. Whenever I voice my hate for 2001: A Space Odyssey (the most boring film ever made), I get bashed.

Likewise. I've never understood the pretentiousness of film snobs. That being said I don't love transformers and every garbage big budget movie out there, but Jurassic World did what it was suppose to.

I don't think I'm a film snob. My favourite movies of 2015 so far have been Kingsman, Chappie, Mad Max, and Jupiter Ascending. But I hated Jurassic World.

But Mr. Wirtz, I thought you were struggling to make money!

The Blackhawks were in the red for a long time. Rocky Wirtz said the team is profitable now due to all the loans the team needed from Wirtz's other business years ago being paid off.

He's taking shots at a rapper from Philly and used a picture of the last time the Jays won the world series against the Phillies as the cover art for his diss track.

I like what I like. Sometimes a movie isn't necessarily "good" but it is entertaining.

Mind you, I haven't seen Jurassic World.
Or any Jurassic Park for that matter.
 
I haven't seen Ant Man yet, I'm going to get around to it but I have 0 interest in it. The good reviews in here have me hopeful for it though.
 
JW was good for what it was. A decent, fun summer action flick. It hit all the right spots for an action movie but wasn't really memorable. Having standards for film is fine but there needs to be context for the intended audience. I'm personally a slave for disaster movies no matter how bad, that doesn't mean I can't also appreciate and enjoy high-brow movies as well.

It's when you get to the point where you're angry and lash out at people who liked a movie you see as beneath your refined tastes that it gets ridiculous.

I really liked it (for what it's worth), and I've been feeling pretty burned out on Marvel lately. It's just pretty lighthearted, doesn't take itself seriously, and even pokes fun at itself sometimes. There's none of that "thinks it's more clever than it is" type of dialogue you find in the Avengers movies.

And the dude's daughter is ADORABLE AS HECK.

When I was watching it I actually thought it had the same kinds of vibes as one of those theme park attractions where you're watching a short movie and the seats move around. It was neat.

I haven't been to the movie theatre in YEARS. Too expensive, too crowded

this is exactly why I usually only go on tuesdays, and only see movies like 3+ weeks after they're released.
 
New Jersey Devils ‏@NHLDevils 12m 12 minutes ago

#NJDevils GM Ray Shero announces that Dainius Zubrus has been placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.

Dainius Zubrus is a name I haven't heard in years.

That New Jersey Bermuda Triangle man...

Jonathan Bernier is asking for 5.1 million.


LOL.

I remember when 5.1 million was a massive amount back 7-10 years ago. Sign Bernier to a one-year deal like Kadri and let him get his work.

thing is he's a UFA next year so they'll probably want at least two years

Leafs were asking 2.9 so they should meet in the middle around 4. which is fine.

Oh shit, he's UFA next year already? Two-year deal then.

And I figured the Leafs are lowballing and Bernier is going high to meet in the middle.

I can't remember the last time I went to a "summer movie." Feels like it's been ages.

I must be getting old.

I used to go to multiple movies in the summertime, nowadays I'll go to one or so. Last year I went to the planet of the apes movie, and this year jurassic world and that'll probably be it.
 
wtf why... didn't the Panthers get the worst TV viewership average in the league this year? why add an option, it's bound to fail

Might as well broadcast it in the region's native tongue, and I don't know many Hebrew speaking sports broadcasters, so Spanish it is!

At this point, why not? It's bound to attract some attention to the Panthers in Florida. Can't be mad at the attempt to reach out to that community.

National treasures. These guys are actually really good broadcasters, though my rusty Spanish isn't good enough for every word, they have a really great rhythm and explain a lot the action without jargon.

These guys also did the Panthes calls back in the 90's until cheap ownership cut most of the broadcasting footprint. Viola and co have expanding it back out also taking broadcasting partners up in West Palm in addition to Dade/Broward.

no necessarly just in a monetary way, but in respect for other cities and fans who would actually go see their team... I hate the panthers with a passion

What does the Panthers owe to other cities and those cities' hockey fans? Nothing.

Are you Canadian? Specifically from Quebec?

Like Boston and Chi in the early 00's? Pittsburgh before Crosby? Columbus before about 4 years ago? All should've been moved out of "respect".

So glad they aren't playing in Fenway, wish the Avs would play in Mile High instead of Coors but whatever :(
Click to expand...

Coors sponsors the Stadium Series, so that was never going to happen. We could do the Winter Classic at Mile High though. Folsom would be awesome if it had more seats.

It'll be "Respek" once the team moves to Quebec and Therrien is fired from the Habs, only to coach the Nordicks.

nah, Panthers have been bottom feeders in term of attendance pretty much forever. Boston, Chicago and Pitts are just bad crowds who will only bandwagon if the team is successful. It's understandable when hockey isn't the #1 sport in your city, but it's still shitty.

someday I will replace bettman, so here's my plan :
  • only teams with an average attendance of 19k+ are allowed in my league, everyone else moves if you go below 19k 3 years in a row.
  • Sucking for 10 years to draft a generational talent and get everyone back on the bandwagon will be banned. Automatic dismissal of the team and the generational talent is drafted to a random team
  • If there isn't snow around the arena in January, you lose your team
  • at any time, a NHL official can visit your city and ask a random person on the street to name the top 2 lines of your team, if the person fails, you lose your team

Thank fuck you're not replacing Bettman.

However, your first point does mean the Jets get relocated...
