5'6" 185lbs, not sure if brandon banks is just wicked tiny at 5'7" 149lbs, or if this Jackson is just wicked ripped -
its definitely a window of opportunity for them, as the characters in the squad are constantly changing. I watched an interesting little documentary the other night called "Necessary Evil" and it was with a bunch of DC comic writers and film directors and focused on the dark side of the universe. Ill admit I didnt really follow the suicide squad, so listening to them talk about what made it appealing, was these are bad guys basically strapped with a bomb vest or some kind of killing device that are forced by the government to do good, or boom your dead. and the comics would always have a surprise death or twist to stories that would keep you wondering who would die next, who would be brought in to replace them...ect an interesting concept all in all

you can easily make them dark, maybe not the Green lantern one, but im sure kids dont wanna watch a good guy turn to the dark side, and based off all the buzz going on about making everything R-rated in the foreseeable future, DC might need to ditch the PG just to compete. I think if the Suicide Squad is successful, that could be a direction they should take instead of screwing with the rest. DC doesnt have as many "anti-heroes" as the Marvel Universe
-
well 8 games more then other teams as each team would play once at their american home with same ratio rules, but in retrospect if the 9 visiting teams all play same ratio, thats not really an advantage for them

DCs trying hard to compete with Marvel but failing. Making BvS r-rated would be nothing more then trying to ride a bit of the success deadpool recently got. I dont think it's going to work, cuz your right everyone not named Batman in the DC universe, as far as heroes go are pretty much boyscouts. I think theres a time and place though to make a darker side to the norm but it would probably be served best in independent films, not a build up into the Justice League. examples would be a darker Superman movie featuring his death vs doomsday, the Hal Jordans green lantern turning into the evil Parallax, the dark knight...ect

under-whelming stats, TCF? -

theres enough ppl in both places and surrounding areas to fill 30K in attendance. I have no doubt people on waiting lists for rider seasons would opt to buy some Saskatoon Berry season tickets just to watch some football, even more so when it's Rider vs the Berries. It's like when the Jets Play the NY Islanders and you suddenly see that one dude strutting around in a Devils Jersey, some people just wanna attend games, and it's much easier to do it in your own back yard, as well as might make people reconsider where they invest their $

what kind of initial reaction was there with the Nordiques coming into the NHL in what i would have to assume was a thick Habs nation? Ottawa into a heavy Leafs market? I dont argue that alot of sask., or even most of Sask are Priders, but I bet you'd get a fair share of excitement behind a new franchise some people would easily embrace as their own immediately (maybe just to say they were fans since day 1). it would be interesting to see a serious poll results if one was ever done across the province. I think you might be surprised

I dont think its too late, there is a HUGE market for zombie movies, and IMO zombieland was the last good zombie movie since george A. Romero was doing them. way to many B-movies and just awful sounding projects like this upcoming pride and prejudice: zombies. I guess it all depends on what the plot would be, most of these movies fail cuz they go flat after the plot is revealed and it just becomes oh no a zombie! turns a corner, oh no! another zombie... runs away oh no! more zombies! for the rest of the movie. Zombieland was good cuz it was funny and able to maintain the humor throughout the movie

Meteor Hit Atlantic Ocean with force of an Atomic Bomb
Taynted_Fayth replied to Taynted_Fayth's topic in General Discussion
this was apparently 2 days after that meteor but in MB. it's getting real up in here lol The military deployed a large number of troops and equipment, effectively suppressing all view of what crashed into the lake or what they were doing there. Fortunately, some brave citizens facing the harsh weather conditions managed to take a few pictures of the gear used by the military, highlighting the importance of this “exercise” in this eventless area of Canada. Owned by the Aboriginal people, the Jackhead Reservation is governed by their own laws which do not allow for operations such as these to take place, making the Canadian military intruders under these circumstances. A native by the name of Dakotah Traverse stated that no major event took place here until now and that UFOs are not a rare sight around these parts either: While people reported seeing military forces dragging a strange disc-shaped object using snowmobiles, the Canadian army officials stated that this was just one big training exercise teaching soldiers on how to deal with a plane crash in the Arctic and rescue maneuvers. It is rather unlikely that an actual training exercise took place because they refused to give in any data about the supposed event. No evidence has been released in order to assure us this was indeed a plane crash training operation. Whatever the case may be, we have drawn the line, speculating in favor of a UFO landing in the lake that could either have ET origins or it could be a craft designed using the latest military technology (which we believe to be extremely advanced) that crashed as a result of really bad weather. -

maybe the movie spoke out to her, and she felt she needed to do her part and joined the Mobile Infantry, it happens -
Maybe I'm just thinking of my own 11 year old, who would rather watch shows like the walking dead rather than the flash, and kids do make up a huge $ cow for superhero movies both at the box office and beyond with their merch. I just don't see how violence alone can net an R-rated sticker anymore unless were talking its some kind of a gore fest. Maybe I too am just too desensitized to violence to view it as a OMG type of thing anymore, then again i like movies like house of 1000 corpses and the devils rejects. And I don't blame most parents, there just too much to censor to keep your kids unaware of all things in the world. a big thing is the internet. Hell my kid has been interested in the news and even politics for a few years. I remember him asking me what would possess a guy like Vince Li to eat parts of some kid on the bus a few years after the fact. Am i supposed to ban him from watching the news? I do watch movies i think he might like ahead of time and make a conscience decision whether its suitable or not, such as deadpool, which i know he wants to watch really bad, but i said not till hes older. That won't stop him from seeing it one way or another, but I just won't be that access to seeing it. I got in a lot of **** for letting him watch Zombieland when he was 8 - my thought process is when i was 8 i was already up to no good and thought he could handle it. He could... but his mom thought otherwise, even though she lets him watch the child's play movies (hypocritical ***** lol). I did however learn a lesson in there that sometimes i gotta stop trying to be the cool buddy dad and more of a better choice dad and since have really tried to limit the negative stuff he's exposed to when around me. But i can't compete with TV, the internet, print media and society (friends/school) and thats just life. He's got quite the opinion on the american election and the garbage Trump spews out, is watching batman kick the crap out of someone really the worst thing that kids can see lol ** Speaking of Zombieland just read this

Metro: Manger Frais jk but they do call KFC PFK (Poulet Frit Kentucky) France doesnt even do that -
you can increase the DI number for visiting teams, and is it illegal for an american team to play a mandatory 7 nationals on foreign soil? if not, then for their 9 away games they play like the rest of us. that would be my solution for the ratio without getting rid of it, even though it slightly gives the edge to the american team by playing 7 more games then any other team with an all american line up. as for the dollar, i mentioned earlier, they just use a converted sms, instead of 5.1mCAD its 3.7mUSD so contracts would like instead of paying a player 120kCAD, they sign for 87KUSD

I dont think anyones panicking lol but that russia meteor apparently hit a factory in an urban area and did some pretty decent dmg hurting quite a bit of people, this meteor was supposed to have been similar or biggest since. It got me thinking to that meteor shower you could see with your naked eye in the summer, that went on for 4 or 5 nights, that must be a lot meteors, and hypothetically speaking, if it was on course with earth, what if several touched down. what happens if and when something bigger comes hurling our way. would it be foolish to try and set up a defense plan just in case? makes me think of the old "better to have a gun and not need it, then to need a gun and not have one" -

lol its funny, i was thinking of a sort of belt of weaponized satellites that would be able to obliterate oncoming meteors or asteroids but that would probably cause even more mass panic in fear terrorists or some wonky super villain hijacks one or more and uses them on earth. I guess once we achieve world peace, then we can concentrate on space defense -
I dont disagree with that but I do have 2 conflicting thoughts on the subject; 1. I cant imagine any scenario involving Superman, or Wonder Woman dropping Fbombs, slappin skin between the sheets or really being overly gorey that would really warrant an R-Rating. 2. Kid being as desensitized as they are, might find a movie without edge too unappealing. It's a new day and age and kids dont easily eat up the fluff piece if you will. Blame the internet

no one ever likes to concede that they are getting old(er), Bautista is likely looking at the top 3 payed players, i think i saw Cabrera at like 31m for 2016 (though i have him calculated @ 35m/year - 248mill on a 7 year term), ARod at 27m for 2016 and Cesepedes @ 25m for 2016 and wants to fit somewhere in their. Other then age working against him, Bautista's stats did improve last year vs 2014. hes been a franchise player for the team in otherwise bleak years and was pretty clutch last year. 5 years might be a bit too long for anyones comfort but maybe they find a middle ground on shortening that to 3 years 90m or something close they can both agree on
