    I mentioned this in the big indie thread but for those who don't check there as often, if you enjoyed Makabe vs Thatcher check out the latest Prestige show on the same streaming service for Makabe vs Sabre Jr. it's pretty fucking great too.

    Indeed it was.

    Zion's out for the playoffs. He'll definitely miss the last chance playin game, and  even if they win "will be evaluated in the coming WEEKS" (emphasis mine) for hamstring issue.

     

    And we're right back to "the human body just isn't meant to be that big and that explosive at the same time."

  3. As well as betting on multiple games through a proxy, including thrice betting against his own team (good news is he didn't play in those games.)

    It turns out the upside to legal sports betting is that people get to see "that's weird, that's the second time in three months that there were huge payouts on prop bet unders for some nobody on the Raptors. Huh, he left both those games early because of health reasons. That's weird."

  4. This is what, the third DC stab at an Ultimate line? After All-Star and Earth One (fourth if you count the Nu52)

    The problem Marvel ran into was the whole "classic stories and characters without the weight of continuity" wears off after a few years when continuity starts to build up. (Though I personally was a pretty big fan of the late era Ultimate Universe 1.0 when it instead became the place that the writers could do anything. Kill Peter Parker and Wolverine for real, split the United States into chunks, etc etc. It didn't sell worth a damn.)

    Depending on creative teams/characters I'll at least give these a look though.

  5. I think I'm more partial to Makabe/Thatcher than the Dog Collar Match personally, but that's more stylistic preference than a comment on match quality. That was a top two matches for the ages, on top of a great card all the way down. 

    Been a long time since I bought wrestling on physical media but hell yes.

    It was one of those rare moments where I nearly hated the movie and thought it was the most base horseshit, but also thought Phoenix’s performance was really good.

    I highly doubt I’ll give the sequel the time of day.

    Oh I'm way the fuck more interested in the sequel. Jukebox musical sequel to a serious drama that wasn't a musical, with Lady Gaga the second lead? This has high trainwreck potential, but it also could end up being something special. Basically I can see it being a 1/5 or a 4.5/5 but I can't imagine it's gonna be a 2.5-3/5 like the first one was.

  7. However bad of a day you had today, Tigers third baseman Zach McKinstry probably had a worse one.

    Trailing 5-4 in the 12th, he committed an error that resulted in three runs. 

    Then because his manager forgot that the pitching coach had already made a mound visit, and because it was the 12th inning of the first game of a double header, McKinstry wound up on the mound moments later. He proceeded to walk a batter and then serve up a three run homer. He basically was personally responsible for six runs allowed in the 12th.

    Detroit lost 11-5.

    It was thrown away for me with it's obvious Taxi Driver lifting except Travis Bickle inspired a bunch of people at the end.

    That's completely unfair. 

    It also had copious and obvious lifting from The King of Comedy.

    Wiki says he worked for a while at WB Animation, including on the GL cartoon. 

    Yeah there was a point where he said something about how he was leaving animation to return full time to comics, but I don't know that he's ever done interiors since then.

    I can believe this.  I’ve met a number of pro ball players over the years who paid very little attention to their money so long as they had spending cash, and the people they trusted to manage their finances were either corrupt or inept. Kevin Durant’s accountant embezzled $70 million over a couple years. Charles Barkley lost a good chunk of his early fortune because his financial advisor made dumbass investments in things like earthworm farms (Barkley had no idea where his money was going until much later)

     

    A lot of people think the only reason Kareem played twenty years and well into his forties was that his manager stole damn near all the money he made in the 70's.

    The Wings continue their slide as their offense has just evaporated. Alex DeBrincat hasn't scored since I was in high school. Every player other than Raymond and Larkin has turned into Val Filppula and is passing the puck instead of shooting. Our waiting for somebody to be available to block before shooting. They also all seem to be allergic to one-timers, preferring instead to stop the puck and give the goalie time to get across. 

    Brutal. 

    Yeah I have no idea what happened when the calendar flipped from February to March but it's dispiriting after spending most of the season pretty optimistic the Wings were finally moving back upwards.
