QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 25, 2013 -> 02:39 PM) I took a lot of heat from the fanboys for saying this. They better come down on you too. Ha It seems like most of the s*** the movie gets is from fan boys. It has it's flaws, but I thought is was WAY better than the earlier superman movies. solid 6.5/10

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 06:49 PM) 12 Years A Slave Chiwetel Ejiofor Will win for Best Actor Lupita Nyong'o Will get nominated for Supporting Actress Michael Fassbenger Will get nominated for Supporting Actor Score/Music Hans Zimmer Best Adapted Screenplay Best Director Best Film Too early to tell about the last two categories, but I'm 100% confident Ejiofor will end up as the winner for Actor. http://www.nola.com/opinions/index.ssf/201..._of_12_yea.html And James Franco is an ass sometimes It was a powerful film. I think Chiwetel has it locked up. Fantastic performances all around. Cumberbatch, Dano, and Pitt were all very good in small roles...even Giamatti was excellent.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 09:38 PM) One week later, and I finally went to see The Dark World. Great stuff. I think the first Iron Man is still the best of these (Marvel) movies, but it's practically a three way tie after that between Avengers and both Thor movies. Maybe Avengers beats them out by the smallest of margins, but you would need a microscope and an Angstrom ruler to see it- Dark World beats out the first Thor by a similar margin. I'm enjoying the Thor franchise the most overall; as much as I thought I would be enjoying the Iron Man series after seeing the first one until II & III watered it down (especially II). I also think that I've begun to harbor feelings for Kat Dennings (Darcy). I saw the 6 minute scene of Captain America: Winter Soldier before the Dark World, then the preview. I seriously think the new Cap movie will be number one ahead of those movies. The scale of that movie looks huge. But right now I'm in agreement with you on the top movies...agree about Kat Dennings as well. I would like to know how the phase three timeline is going too...which events take place in what order for Avengers 2

12 Years a Slave was really great movie. An emotional drain, but damn good.

This is just a random thought but I've always wanted to see an inverted scheme. White helmet/hat with black logo. Black jersey and pants with white pinstripes, and actually wear 'White Sox'.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 04:50 PM) Good to hear. The 90 min run time made it hard for me to watch marathon style but watched one every other day or so on Netflix. Just did that myself. Glad that I did.

Yeah, I heard that Lithium actually has nothing to do with meth.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Makes sense, but seems way too plausible IMO. I also still think Hank has a chance to live. I get the last call and the love you's and all that, but isn't that pretty basic television story telling? Does this show ever do that? Everyone who watched the episode last night is expecting them to die, so isn't this show's m.o. to turn the story on its head and do something that people aren't expecting? Maybe Jesse starts to run away and that causes a distraction and then Hank (and/or Gomez) have some time to either fight back or get in the car and drive away? To me it's a 98% chance Hank and Gomez are dead. But 2% of me says this is all a set up. Why else roll the credits in the middle of the fight? I think the credits should have rolled/blacked out as gun fire was going off, not make anything obvious until we get to next weeks episode.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 4, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) Johnson gets credit for a quality start. Pitcher errors should be earned. Definetly didnt have a look or feel of a quality start.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 22, 2013 -> 10:19 AM) Im just biding my time until Agents of SHIELD starts. Shortly after that is Walking Dead, then Shameless, then GoT. Dexter is almost done, but I havent been nearly as focused on that as I usually am Justified in January as well

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2013 -> 10:24 AM) That episode had everything you'd want from Breaking Bad. Acting, tension, cinematography, twists. Great stuff. Happened to notice Bryan Cranston directed the episode

Cards have no use for Rios at all. More likely Ramirez and reliever/s

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) Reed and Ramirez together makes sense for both the Pirates and Cardinals. Adams and Martinez? Glasnow, Kingham, Taillon? Throw in Lindstrom I say.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:10 PM) Wait til we trade reed along with alexei tmrw. All our cream will shortcircuit the soxtalk servers. Ramirez, Reed, and Lindstrom to the Cards? I can see that. Curious what a return would be on that. Redbirds need pitching help and is it possible to send them a starter for a better package?? Just throwing that idea out there...

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 06:11 PM) Right that's what I said. I gave an example of how non-Red Sox people are saying the opposite Gotcha... I've read about 90% of this thread while it's been active, and I've been drinking for the last couple hours. Just now starting to get involved with some discussion.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 06:08 PM) I think that's the opposite of what he's asking Right...it seems like only the ones with connections to the redsox are posting stuff about the Sox willing to come down in their price...

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 06:05 PM) Sean McAdam @Sean_McAdam Despite interest from 4 teams - Red Sox, A's, D'backs, Cards - sense is White Sox are coming down on Peavy asking price. #RedSoxTalk There are rumors that states otherwise. If Rick wants to come down on the asking price, it just goes to show you the franchise plans for a full rebuild next season. Have the red Sox connections been the only ones to say this?

Those teams need Peavy a lot more than we need to get rid of him. If Pitt improves then the cards lose out and vise-versa. I think he goes to either of them two teams, because they'll want to prevent the other from getting the trade. What's it to Pitt if the cards lose prospects??? They absolutely don't want them to win this fiasco...it doesn't help them. Same with the cards for Pitt. Whoever gives the best package of those two I think gets the deal.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 05:22 PM) Maybe Rick wants to wait until after Cardinals DH today. If they get swept by Pirates, maybe they'll be desperate and offer more for Peavy/Alexei? I guess it's a good thing Pitt and Stl are fighting each other...either Pitt or Stl might up their offer to get what they need to stop the other from doing the same

If s*** is offered I would rather keep him and have him retire a Sox unless he wants out.

Under 24 hours at most for the wait

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) Linstrom is gone for sure, as is Crain. Peavy is also gone. Rios stays, as does Alexei and Dunn. I'm thinking the exact same here. Just curious to who they go to and what's received in return.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 06:00 PM) The story says a pitching prospect and a lesser prospect. Screw that. If that's all they can get for Peavey, just keep him. Exactly. Why even trade Peavy if that's what the return is...does not compute.
