I'm partial to Superman For All Seasons personally.

He'd be insane to sign it. If he waits until next summer he can get one more year and a casual extra ~$80 million.

Axl said the same thing on X. As impossible as it sounds, it seems like it's actually true. Which is bizarre because Slash and Ozzy were friends before GnR broke up.

Also, GnR did play It's Alright. What a weird set of four Sabs songs from them.

Except for Milwaukee having a $22 million dollar dead cap hit for five years, when they likely will desperately need every penny of space they can find to keep a functional team around Giannis.

The Suns are reportedly working on trying to come to a buyout with Bradley Beal so they can then waive and stretch him. Right now, they can't use that stretch provision because it would exceed the maximum allowed, 15% of the cap (they have a couple small dead cap hits already.) But they need Beal to accept giving up $13.8 million of the $110.8 million he has left over the next two years. Then they could stretch it over 5 years at $19.4 million. I kinda get why the Bucks did this with Dame (I do not think it was a good idea, but I get it) but I have no earthly idea why Phoenix would do this. They aren't going to be good next year and probably not the year after, why blow a hole in your cap the three years after that when you might potentially be able to rebuild.

I feel like the only reason Dirty Women was such a staple was it gave them an excuse to have video roll of topless women on the screens.

I can't imagine the odds were high on three songs from Never Day Die getting played would've been very high, but here we are. And by the last two bands before Ozzy and Sabs.

Interesting addendum I just learned: Rob Reiner claims they had written the Stonehenge joke years before the movie and had filmed it in 1982, while the Sabbath album with Stonehenge and subsequent tour with the prop didn't happen until 1983. Which would make this just about the craziest coincidence.

Definitely check out YungBlud doing Changes at the end of the first All-star band set.

If you gave me three dozen guesses what Sabbath songs Metallica was going to play yesterday, I never would've even considered Johnny Blade.

Such a weird movie. Has a pretty respectable cast, and the script is really fun twisty little number that's smarter than it appears at first glance. But then it's also about half a step away from being soft core porn.

I would be shocked beyond reason if it kept the ending.

Except in reverse. It was during the Ian Gillan Born Again tour, and they had a model of Stonehenge that was so fucking big it didn't fit through the loading bay doors at most venues, so it mostly just traveled around and never got seen.

I did not know you could bet on those either. And I honestly don't even know what that means. I read a book where cricket was a minor running plot and I literally could not follow anything about the sport from that book. It might as well have been a foreign language.

I should really stop being surprised by things you can bet on, but I had no idea you could place a wager on individual pitches.

So, Diamond owes Dynamite over a million dollars. They also have virtually all of Dynamite's inventory of comics in their warehouses. A judge denied a motion to expedite the upcoming hearing currently scheduled for the 16th. Dynamite is saying that they won't be able to make payroll this week. Further, Diamond's inventory of comics is quite possibly going to be liquidated to cover their debts, meaning Dynamite is unlikely to even get back the comics that Diamond isn't moving and not paying for.

The presumptive answer is he gambled it all away. It's absurd though. He was probably looking at a new contract with like $12-15 million aav for probably three years. Easily enough to cover his debts and I'm assuming a hell of a lot more than he might've made off any bets he placed on himself/any money that he was paid to rig prop bets.

I haven't looked into it at all, but I had just assumed the barber loaned him money, not that he got a billion free haircuts.

Yeah. He did a lot I like (and I like a lot of the more measured takes on him as EIC basically being "he fixed things that desperately needed fixing, but once he had everything on track, he just couldn't stop trying to fix things that weren't broken." But it's hard to get past the twin issues of "explicitly banned homosexual characters in Marvel Comics" and "Despite this wrote the first two explicitly gay characters in Marvel history... With them trying to rape Bruce Banner." Still, an absolute prodigy as a writer and clearly one of the more important figures in post-Golden Age comics history.

I'm auto-in on anything Wright does, and I knew already that bleak and depressing isn't his brand. But, while clearly going to be way more faithful than the 87 book, we're still a long long way from the out of shape asthmatic protagonist and the movie looks like it has about 5,000 times more jokes than the book.

With the benefit of three weeks of hindsight and the apparent end of the coaching search, I think we can definitively say the answer to this was "yes.'

It'll always be Rayesh to me. I don't care if Denny got it wrong linguistically, he created the character so I stand by how he wanted it. Plus it sounds cooler.

Deandre Ayton is a Laker. He has talent, but he's a flake and immature. CP3 couldn't reach him as a teammate, and Chauncey Billups, who had a lot of success in his career helping focus head case teammates, bet he could do it as a coach and failed. So I guess the question is... Can LeBron?

Indianapolis's only real strength is location. It's the perfect city for everybody in the Midwest to congregate. Which is why it's a convention town more than anything else.
