There are tons of movies that are way longer than Civil War and way older than LOTR. The 1st 2 Godfather movies are early 70's and they're both 3 hours.

Personally, I don't care if a politician isn't 100% squeaky clean (how many people would be eligible to run if that were the case), but if you can't even acknowledge the fact that there may be skeletons in your closet then you don't deserve to be in running for office. That's the biggest difference between Hall & Wab in my opinion. Wab addressed his rap lyrics in a book well before he decided to run in this election (at least declared publicly anyway) while Hall (a self-professed technology expert) didn't have the foresight to clean up his twitter account. Add in Hall's "defense" and refusal to remove the offending tweets shows me he's not ready (at this point) to be an elected official.

Choice of channels coming to cable TV packages soon.

Still mad you're the only one who wanted to watch My Little Pony eh? -

And (at least for them) it will work. Of the 26 channels in their bundle, Bell has included 10 french channels, the weather channel and legislative channels like CPAC so right away the number of channels people might actually watch is cut in half. -

That would be because whoever uploaded the stream, forgot to cut it out. It happens occassionally but it has nothing to with Kodi itself. -
Even given the huge gun culture that already exisits, do you actually think for a second "the people" have the weaponry to overthrow the government?

Me too, I'm looking forward to seeing what it'll cost for just sports channels next winter. We literally do not watch anything but sports off our cable box right now. -

Bell actually instructed it's staff to downplay the skinny package although their package is so horrid that it doesn't take much to downplay it! The other companies (afaik) aren't going that far, they're just making it harder to find the info on their websites. -

By Christmas, every single channel has to be available as a stand alone option so you won't be forced to buy bundles. -
Jets vs Oilers Heritage Classic
bigg jay replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
I expect it to sell out quickly. I hope I'm wrong though! I'm not sure where the $600 price comes from, since nothing has been announced. When the game was talked about last year (in January), Lawless had the average ticket price pegged around $170 (which is lower than what I would have thought). -
Jets vs Oilers Heritage Classic
bigg jay replied to The Unknown Poster's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
This is the main reason why I'm disappointed that Bombers STH don't get a shot at pre-sales. I get why we don't though but like you, it's my 2 favorite teams & the likelyhood of getting tickets off ticket master when they go on sale is going to be pretty slim. 3rd party ticket websites always carry some risk and I'd be ******* pissed if I spent the money and ended up with fake/stolen tickets. -
So I checked out Gods of Egypt yesterday. I had low expectations going in, and while it definitely won't rank on anyone's list of favorite movies, it was better than I thought it would be. It's fine for what it's intended to be (a mythology based action/fantasy film). If you go in expecting historical accuracy, you'll be disappointed, I'm a mythology nerd though so it was right up my alley and was a nice 2 hour break from reality. Next up: Batman v Superman!

Conor absolutely won the 1st round but if you look at the way he was throwing a lot of his punches, Nate's height/reach was an issue. He often had to jump into his punches to get into range... definitely not an energy-efficient way of fighting, especially when the guy is able to eat those shots like that. He's definitely more suited for featherweight, but the big weight cut probably makes that unlikely in the long run. Lightweight would be interesting because he'll still run into guys like Diaz.
-
The fighter's health is one of the reasons for the IV ban. If they can't rehydrate as fast after a big weight cut, they aren't going to cut as much. The amount of weight they put back on in 24 hours after weigh-ins is just as insane as how much they cut in the 1st place. They'll never completely get rid of weight cutting though as fighters will always look for whatever advantage they can get.
-
A 20-25 lb weight cut is pretty common actually. For example, most of the flyweights (125 lbs) in the UFC walk around at 140-145 lbs. You probably won't see many more people making big weight cuts anymore though, due to the new ban on IV rehydration. Guys are going to have to watch their weight way more inbetween fights to keep their walk around weight down or move up in weight classes.
-
Almost every fighter cuts weight though not just Connor. He was definitely the smaller fighter last night and had trouble with Nate's reach right from the start.

I'm disappointed that Bomber STH will not have a chance to get tickets before they go on sale to the general public. -
Bad night for Zuffa's bottom line.

Around The League Off Season Discussion

Read the article. Jennings did not have an agent at the time he signed the contract, he did the "negotiating" himself. -

He was acting as his own agent. If you're dumb enough to do that, you're probably dumb enough to sign whatever is put in front of you. -
Sure, why not. Whatever. WWE Network and Wrestlemania
bigg jay replied to Goalie's topic in General Discussion
Not WWE related but it is related to the local scene. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-businessmen-guilty-tax-evasion-1.3474615 Some of the money from the company ended up funding local promotions AWE & WFX. -
This case is a bit different than saying there's millions of comedians out there so there's bound to be similarities. In this instance, she knows and has worked with some of the other comedians involved so she can't say really she was unaware of their material. That being said , one of the comedians who is involved (can't remember which one) is not saying that her material was stolen, but she is saying that Schumer did not come up with it 1st. So there seems to be some agreement that there will be similar material out there, without it being theft.
