Don't panic, there were some players not linked to teams. And some of these guys could be going to different teams (which could be unlikely). This is something that I really want to be changed in the CBA: Once you exceed your bonus pool, you CAN'T sign a player to over 300k

I am about to direct a short film that is based on a short story (flash fiction: a story under 1000 words) that I wrote, called Happy Anniversary (for now, I might change it to Let's Stay Together). The story is a play on suburban life and it is about a couple who decided that they are fed up with lives and make true on their wedding vows. It's pretty jarring and disturbing and the short film is going to be mix of David Lynch and David Fincher. Lots of stationary camera work and just overall weird. But I need a song that plays during the last scene, which is pretty jarring. Here is the story, so you can see what I am talking about. I trust everyone (well mostly everyone here) to not steal my work, but both my story and script are copyrighted. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY © BY: JOSHUA STRONG I completely forgotten what day it was but leave it to Melanie to always remind me. She just came back from the kid's’ room after putting them to sleep. Despite how things got between us she was always up for adventure and full of surprises. “Honey, can you pass me the remote.” Melanie opened up the locked cabinet, sat down on the couch and instead of our old, deprecit remote she put a cold pistol in my hand instead. When I finally looked at what she gave me and after my initial shock passed, I sat there on our couch wondering where all the time had gone. It wasn't too long ago that we were young and had the whole world in front of us. How could I forget that today was our anniversary. When I looked up, I saw that Melanie also had a gun but her’s was pressed firmly against her temple. She a had big childlike grin on her face, I’d never seen her smile like this before, it’s been years since I’ve seen her this happy. I knew what she wanted me to do and I didn’t hesitate, so I put my gun against my temple and looked right into Melanie’s eyes. With the exception of the babies crying in their cribs, it was like we were alone in the world. Like nothing else mattered but the two of us and tonight we were finally going to make true on our vows. “Happy anniversary, I love you.” “I love you too.” How could I forget what day it was. Imagine this playing out in your head, what song is the couple listening to? I am looking for a song that is older and preferably, something that is not a ballad. I want to contrast the heaviness of the scene with a song that's kinda upbeat. Some of the songs that I am considering are: Let's Stay Together, I Think We're Alone Now (The Original Version), Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen), and Downtown (Petula Clark). Any suggestions are welcome and I might do something cool in the credits for the people that helped. Thanks, Joshua

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 4, 2016 -> 05:16 PM) He might be the best pure hitter in the Draft. I would love him, Senzel or Lewis. Teams are kicking themselves for not drafting Schwarber, Collins is in that same vein. I think you might be overrating him a bit.

Adding Jason Motte and Seth Smith to my list.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 3, 2016 -> 05:28 PM) He looks like an old man on dialysis and should look much bigger than Olivia Munn. "So then people were like, 'He's small.' I'm like, 'Okay, I got the same s*** when I cast a six-foot-three actor to play five-foot-four Wolverine. I got the same s*** when Quicksilver's very sweet, 1970s costume was released on an Empire Magazine cover.' You know, every time. I could have made him a giant through the whole movie, or some muscle-bound guy who can't act -- I could always do that. But the reality is, among his many powers -- and you will see him change size -- but among his many powers is his power of persuasion, and it was very important that he'd be able to connect with his horsemen, at their level (size), and that he'd be played by a guy who can actually act like Oscar, who's a fantastic actor.” - Bryan Singer You do see giant Apocalypse in the trailer. I appreciate the Egyptian and alien feel to the costume and I really appreciate that a person of color is playing an Egyptian.

Hoping for Andrew Cashner.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 3, 2016 -> 10:16 PM) Seems like a no brainer but I don't know much about these prospects as I don't follow the baseball draft as much as the NFL draft. We're also s month away so I'm starting to dive in deeper. I seen Delvin Perez mocked to us but that seems like a big stretch that he'd make it to 10. I want a hitter badly but I'd be ok with a pitcher as BPA because we can develop pitching. Collins sounds like Schwarber sort of (really good bat) but better at catching no? Strictly a 1B/DH

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:49 PM) That look is f***ing terrible. Apocalypse should not look like Ivan Ooze If the picture was corrected in post, no would be saying that. http://m.ign.com/articles/2016/05/02/x-men...alypse-backlash Apocalypse looks appropriate for that universe. And I love the alien feel to it.

I think Danks would look good in Miami, San Diego, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ May 3, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) Bruce Levine ‏@MLBBruceLevine White Sox continue to pursue a Left handed hitter as well as a starting pitcher. They have been very active Rick Someone making moves

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 3, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) http://screenrant.com/x-men-apocalypse-alternate-design/ Bryan Singer made a bad decision when he chose NOT to use this designer for Apocalypse An article I read made it sound like they did all the other costumes in the movie, which makes it even more of a head scratcher. But I do like the look they went with.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Is Sale now the longest tenured on the team? Yes

Completely shocked. Was not expecting this at all, it's sad that his career came to this but it's better for both sides to move on. Danks needs to find and reinvent himself on the mound and the Sox can't afford to have that happen in meaningful games.

Meeting with a newly formed production company in a few hours. Fingers crossed.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ May 2, 2016 -> 11:40 PM) Eaton is a big reason why the pitching has looked great. Seconded

QUOTE (flavum @ May 2, 2016 -> 09:43 PM) Adolfo left with injured hand Hopefully it is nothing serious but I am still going to let out a audible F***

Rick Renteria. In all seriousness, I would go with Todd Frazier

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 1, 2016 -> 10:10 PM) I know Edgar Wright was the first one to come along, it's why Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne weren't in the Avengers. The problem is they wanted it to have certain things connecting it to the overall MCU that he didn't want to include. Branagh got to make his Shakesperean Thor, Favreau got to make Iron Man, Johnston got to make his serial film, Russos got to make their spy thriller, Shane Black got to make the exact same film with a new coat of paint like he usually does, etc. The only ones that got heavy interference were Age of Ultron and Iron Man 2. Edit: Forgot. James Gunn made the most James Gunn-ian film possible. Creative Difference is just a blanket term used whenever a creative leaves a project. It's used so much, that it rarely means Creative Differences. Again, in all likelihood Seth Grahame Smith decision had to be mutual. He probably realized he was in over his head as a first time director and that's why he departed the Flash. WB doesn't hire him in the first place, if they don't think he could do the job. And if there are creative differences, then they would not be keeping his script in tact. To me the only Marvel films that you can feel the director's style are Guardians, the first Captain America film and maybe the Avengers films. I couldn't tell you what a John Favreau movie is, or what a Brothers Russo film is to save my life. I do agree with you on Iron Man 3, despite really hating that movie. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 1, 2016 -> 10:10 PM) Meanwhile we just had the second filmmaker leave DCEU for creative differences. The thing is Marvel has someone running their show, while Snyder was given free reign to establish the tone of the entire DCEU with his film and serve as the de facto Feige. I am glad that Michelle Maclarene left Wonder Woman, Variety said that her film was too focused on action rather than character and it had a talking tiger. DC has their Braintrust and it's made of Zack and Debbie Snyder, Charles Roven, and Christopher Nolan who advises on everything. Here is a clip of Charles Roven explaining how it and how it is filmmaker friendly: QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 2, 2016 -> 07:34 AM) Auteur doesnt mean "Good". Marvel has had plenty of directors do their own things with their movies, with their "restriction" being that they have to keep it within that connected universe. Edgar Wright is a quirky director who has his own style and it clashed with Marvels view of the character. This was disappointing but hardly an indictment when you look at how Ant Man performed considering all of the bad press that it generated because of Wrights departure. I highly doubt Wright would want to conform and compromise his movie visions under the Auteur known as Zack Snyder, since the guy laid out the entire DCEU already. You're right that auteur doesn't mean or guarantee something good but it at least promises a signature style and a specific creative vision. I really liked Ant Man, but man did it feel like a hallow attempt at an Edgar Wright movie. If you at the credits of every Marvel movie, you see a lot of the same names pop up. From DPs, writers, costume designers, editors, art directors, etc. That doesn't offer a lot of wiggle room for creativity if you're a director. And shows how producer driven the MCU is. Watch the link I posted that shows Charles Roven explaining how the DCEU works and how it filmmaker friendly it is. It gives each director ample room to do their thing and tell the story they want to tell, and if they cross their boundary, then the Brainstrust will readjust the lines.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 1, 2016 -> 10:02 PM) I couldn't get through it. Too ham fisted. They tried though I love how ridiculously over the top it is and it's very hammy. And the level of violence was great. One of my favorite CBMs of all time.

What do you guys think of Punisher War Zone?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) I doubt Edgar Wright wants this, because he didn't like that Ant-Man had to tie into the MCU. Right now it feels like the DCEU is going to be even more interconnected. Edgar Wright knew about the shared universe, he was actually the first director in the MCU back in 2004 and is one it's original architects. Edgar Wright did not like how Marvel would not let him be Edgar Wright. He wanted to make an Edgar Wright film and Marvel wanted a Marvel movie. Marvel isn't known for letting their directors fully express themselves, it's like they have a sign on the door that says, 'No Auteurs.' That's why they like young, journeymen filmmakers. WB is the exact opposite. Man of Steel feels and looks like a collab between Nolan and Snyder. BvS feels and looks like a Zack Snyder movie. Suicide Squad is 100% David Ayer. Marvel is very producer driver and DC is all about the filmmaker. No one approach is better than the other, but it makes sense why a guy like Edgar Wright would leave Ant Man.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 30, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) It almost feels like the DC Universe is a ship going down and the directors are scrambling like rats. I guess James Wan put an end to that. https://twitter.com/creepypuppet/status/726960529390997505

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 01:40 PM) Joey Lucchesi had 17 strikeouts in 8 innings last night. At least 15 scouts were in attendance, a lot of people think he will be a 8-12 round type of guy I'll keep an eye on him. Looked him up sounds intriguing
