Battle of the Sexes is directed by the same couple that directed little miss sunshine.

lol okay you got me

I used to think so too but now I think he loves being a vet on our young team. Also he doesn't have any baggage with the current GM...

I wanna see it because Denis Villeneuve is directing it and Harrison Ford is continuing his death-victory lap. I don't wanna see it because 3 hours and Ryan Gossling. Eh.

That's not true. And also that's his wife.

To adapt something really long to the screen you have to cut some fat. Cut out the worst actors and just give somebody else Mike's role. His entire arc was rushed in the film anyways. As for Stan. Who needs him? And I'm pretty sure it was before the bloody bathroom that ritchie was calling out beverley.

Totally agree about the pacing. It was a long movie that didn't feel long. I'm not talking about the kids not being on the same page, I'm talking about when they outright don't believe Beverley about one of her experiences. That basic primal understanding and acceptance of one another's experiences is so intrinsic to the plot and central theme of the story. It's how and why the Losers Club is formed.

This got lost in the fray today because the game was so awful. I think Okoposo is amazing. What an unbelievable up.

If Housley wants to roll three effective lines he needs to give Kane his own line. Larsson and Kane together are a nightmare for the other team. My heart does still desire some Kane/Samson action.

O'Reilly playing second fiddle to Eichel makes so much sense to me. I think it'd do him a world of good to not have to be the best player on his line. It wouldn't hurt Jack to have some real help in the D-zone, either. Maybe flip Kane and Girgensons.

That second set of Taro's lines is exactly what my heart desires.

Haha lotsa people liked It, It crushed a buncha box office records. I just wanna talk about It! I really liked the kids dropping f-bombs all the time, a lot of the jokes landed for me. My favorite moment was when Eddie drops the Pills in front of the house and starts muttering " "

(I'm getting lonely in here)

lol I'm a little worried about you

Tennyson has been bad. 82 has been everything MTL warned us about. The Bogo revival better be real or else we might be .

I spent all my star wars hype during that weird 3 day event target had where we got all the toys for the upcoming movie and nobody came in to buy them. Well, I bought my girlfriend a stuffed porg anyways.

The Babdick Pick is the most annoying, obvious rule breaking that the NHL allows. And that's a lot of annoying obvious rule breakings to beat.

Jack is nowhere near where he has to be with his feet. Needs to want it more.

Thoughts on It: -Bill Skarsgard was pretty great as Pennywise. Those dang Skarsgards are so awesome. -I liked all the kid actors except Stan and Mikey. -The score wasn't as bad as I mentioned in the previous post, it was the implementation of the score. There wasn't a single scare that was free of the sound effects making sure you understand that you're supposed to be scared. -In general every single scary scene was constructed the same way: A cut to the scary thing. There was never a slowly constructed scare where the audience was allowed to be frightened at their own pace. It was a very lousy attempt at an adaption. It is a 1400+ page book and they took the Game of Thrones path of more or less copying the events of the story without capturing the themes or the deeper meanings. I think the movie would've been much better served by writing Mikey and Stan completely out of it, that way the rest of the characters could've gotten more screen time to be characterized. I also complained about the story not being grounded at all. Over half of the screen time is fear-fueled fever dreams, but there was never enough time in normal ordinary Derry for the fever dreams to have any effect. There also weren't enough normal denizens of Derry to fill in the atmosphere. This meant that all the world-building and lore-keeping were solely laid at the feet of Ben (who's not even freakin' from Derry!). They also seriously ###### with the central theme of the story by having the kids be skeptical of one another. The entire point of the story is that all these kids implicitly trust one another. There's a deep evil in the town that the adults just aren't privy to. The central metaphor for child abuse takes a huge hit and at the end of the day there's really nothing left at the core of the film. It's an empty shell that sort of depicts the events of the story, but it's not about anything.

Srsly

I don't think that justifies woke-checking Doohickie. He was sarcastically taking a shot at Colombus day, who cares?

A coach that makes sense? This is still strange.

Sitting there complaining, not doing anything about it. That's a very telling way for you to frame it. Folks who are saying Happy Indigenous People Day are doing it to re-frame history to more reflect reality, rather than to perpetuate the whitewashed version that many of us were taught in school. Why are people who do this on the hook to explain what they're doing to really change the world? Taking issue with people doing a small, simple thing in acknowledgement of a genocide is a really troubling stance.

That's super neat.

Why is Moulson still here.
