Must. Find. Higher. Roof.

Nasties have some legitimately good matches (usually involving a ton of weapons and brawling and not much "wrestling" but good is good) along with a lot of fucking terrible stuff.

As I understand it, they basically were the company that finally mastered noise canceling, but, much like BEATS, they have way too much emphasis on bass at the expense of the mid-range sounds...

Vince McMahon on line one...

Oh my god, a win? Against a conference opponent? What brave new world is this?

I think it must be over two decades, if not three.

*hugs it tightly* Never leave me again.

This is not a rerun. Brady Hoke is leaving in a banged up QB who can't protect himself.

I just, you know, *might* own the compete series on DVD, Johnny.

It's probably worth pointing out I'm not a huge fan of Weezer, and the only songs on that list that I can even really say I like are Say It Ain't So and Buddy Holly (and maybe Beverly Hills if I'm in the right mood) but I don't find any of them nearly as good as Back to the Shack. That's part of why I'm so surprised... They aren't a band I have ever really cared about at all, so for them to release a song I really love 20 years into their career is surprising as hell.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 is such a weird movie. It has hands down the best action setpieces of any Spidey movie, and Emma Stone is once again absolutely perfect as Gwen, while most of the rest of the cast is quite good as well (I'm still not fond of Garfield's version of Peter, but it's more about the overall direction he takes the character than the specific performance....) But the plot is just such a fucking mess. The continued attempt to build a conspiracy into Spidey's background, and build a full universe around a single headline character, the way they never do anything to build the Peter/Harry friendship beyond saying "hey, we used to be friends 10 years ago... Okay, now we're best friends" with no transition whatsoever... -
Fuck. I was getting an error yesterday, and shivered why they didn't have a preview for this weekend. But that's one of my favorite websites and this sucks. There are a few other sites out there that do the same, but none I've seen are as clean and easy to use.

So only Man Of Steel counts?

Jesus, is Watt even human?

Well, that's going to be an interesting call.

AFAIK, Amazing Spider-Man 2 did squeak by the reported/rumored "profitability line" in worldwide box office. Which means Sony is probably doing alright on it with dvd/blu-ray/ppv/streaming/cable/etc thrown in, although clearly not as well as they did with the Raimi films. And if it still makes money, Sony won't consider letting it go. I'm not even positive they would if one film loses money (and I don't mean the planned spin-offs, I mean an actual Spider-Man movie) because they know damn well the character has the potential to tear the box office up (again, the Raimi movies...) Now if they had two Spider-man movies in a row that legitimately lost money (i.e. not wonky "Hollywood accounting") then it might behoove them to try and sell the rights back to Marvel and get something out of it.

Man, you guys weren't kidding about season two being a major improvement. Although it's gone from merely wanting to be a Batman show, to wanting to be The Dark Knight Trilogy in TV form.

No. I hate butchering the character of Superman -
Yup

I thought that was KG?

Well, Jack did save Rose from suicide (despite the valid points above...) so that's kind of heroic... Seriously, though, if you aren't a teen girl, the reason to watch that movie is the amazing disaster porn, not the story. -
They haven't pursued it at all in Phase Two, but The Avengers did leave open the idea of a second Avengers team more closely tied to the World Security Council. Immediately after Avengers was over, I thought that might be where they went (along with Thanos, obviously) with the Council, pissed about Fury defying them, ignoring that it all worked out, would recruit Rhodes and Blonsky and maybe set-up a couple more guys in the phase 2 movies, and have their own Avengers team. If they really are gung ho on Civil War, that could be a way to do it. (Also, the one rumor that was out there was that instead of Avengers 3 being Civil War, we might get Captain America: Civil War as the third film in that series...) Does "correctly" mean "with a whole new ending"? Hopefully also with a new beginning. And possibly a different middle. Nitro blew up half of Stamford, Connecticut. What a kick in the nuts that must have been for the McMahons. Nitro of all people. The fucking villain's name was Nitro. I'm good with blowing up Stamford, actually. I'm not good with The New Warriors involvement.

Of course, Apple should just pick up the bill for Kap, given that they just spent billions on Beats, Kap is an endorser, and it just got the name a bunch of media attention.
-
The Beats thing has nothing to do with that. The league signed a deal with Bose, and announced just last week that players could not wear any other brand head-phones before, during, or up to 90 minutes after a game, or during any official team functions, media days, etc.
