  5. To be honest, the game isn't really that difficult once you know what you're doing. If you just play at an adequate level, it's ridiculously easy to keep winning with any team after a few years. It doesn't matter if you're the Royals - after a few seasons of decent management, you easily outclass the AI. As for the pitching - give it time. Texas is a hitter-friendly park, ERAs are going to be inflated. You can always try to upgrade your defense though, as a great defense can save some runs.
  6. It's my most anticipated film for the summer, it looks to be pretty good. I'm not expecting it to be the best film of the year or anything, but it should be worth watching.
  7. Kate is just an irritating character that frequently ruins things for everyone else on the Island. She's very selfish, and the way that she jumps between Jack and Sawyer is annoying as well.

    NFL 2009

    Really? You draft the most talented players rather than draft to fill holes because you have a lot of holes? That's your logic? ...really? It's not a bad philosophy. If you have a need at practically every position like Detroit does, why force yourself to choose a player to fill a hole and reach when you could simply let the board play out, stay true to your own board, and take the best player available regardless of position? Some of the best teams in the NFL do that, and granted they do it when they don't have holes to fill, but really is reaching for a DT in the 2nd round when the best player available (and best value) is a linebacker going to hurt at all when you need talent? This is what I was talking about. Why reach to take an offensive lineman to fill a hole when your top-rated tight end is still on the board? Why take a middle linebacker that isn't exactly what you're looking for when you have the best safety out there? You don't go just by position, the Lions had holes everwhere. You take the best players that you can find, period.

    I heard a rumor that Chicago was looking at taking him, so maybe he is a good player. I've watched some highlights of the guy and he hits really hard, but that's about all that I've been able to come up with so far...

    I'm pretty happy with what the Lions did. They got the #1 QB, #1 TE, and #1 Safety. That's not bad. Besides, they're in a position where they're not going to contend next year. They have so many holes that it was best for them to draft the most talented players, rather than picking guys to fill holes (which they have a lot of).
  11. The thing that I see about Deadpool is that he's not really integral to Wolverine's past, is he? I mean, couldn't they have made the film without the character? He just seems like the type of character that they put in the film to please the fans, and now they've done a bunch of shit that the fans don't like. It doesn't make any sense.
  12. Spoiler: Click here to viewNothing, young Ben will be saved. What a poor killer only putting one in the chest and not taking a second shot to the head that leavs no questions... now we finaly will get to see old ben Topless and get the scarry music as we surprisingle see a scare on his chest... it´s Lost, you just have to see it comming... i guss the pay of will be Old Ben getting killed after Lost logic... haha, he´s dead! noho he´s not! oh wait - he is! Spoiler: Click here to viewFirst of all...who didn't see that coming? What, did you think that Sayid was just going to run off into the jungle with Ben, taking him happily to Otherland? He doesn't even know where that is. And besides, Ben will be saved. He's obviously alive in the future, seeing how he GREW UP. Nothing has been altered, Ben was always shot in the chest by Sayid.

  14. Spoiler: Click here to viewI don't think that it's safe at all to say that Christian is actually alive. He seems to have a lot of supernatural stuff about him, and from what (little) we've seen of Locke so far, he just seems to be alive again. I mean, Christian constantly appears where he's supposed to be (in Jacob's Cabin, near the Donkey Wheel, etc.) which seem to suggest that he's not simply reborn, but that there's also something special about him. He seems to be acting a lot more like the other apparitions that we've seen around the Island (Eko's brother, for instance), appearing where it's convenient for him to do so. Maybe that's what you were getting at, I dunno, but I don't think that you can say that he's definitely alive.
  15. It's obvious that Richard is different than everyone else, there's really nothing else that can be said. He's just different, we don't know why yet. I'm sure that it has something to do with his role on the Island. I mean, if you're going to be that picky, why not ask why Locke is the only person who died and was able to come back to life? Because he's special, that's why. I'm not being picky at all, I'm bringing up a point that came to mind. Locke does make sense because there's explanations behind it already, there's been nothing explained towards Richard so far. I'm just trying to work it out that's all, I wasn't being a dick about it. I just wondered how Ben, who is apparently MORE special, ages yet Richard somehow doesn't. I'm not knocking the show, I love being confused :/ You are confused. Where did you get that Ben is supposed to be more special? Just because he was the "leader?" He had a tumor in his back while he was on the Island. The guy is centered around almost every fucking thing, to claim he's not supposed to be more special than Richard really baffles me. Either way, I think you're taking this a little too far. I was only saying I was slightly curious as to why Richard hasn't aged at all, no need to go off on a wild one I don't know though, Ben is involved in a lot of stuff, but a lot of it is just him forcing his way into everything, not necessarily because he's destined to do everything, if that makes any sense. Besides, if you believe Widmore, Ben basically kicked him out and just made himself the leader. Plus, Richard has been there for pretty much everything that they've shown so far and he hasn't changed a bit. He was there before Ben, possibly for a very long time as well. He doesn't age, and he's been shown to leave and return to the Island seemingly at will. He's important. My theory is that he's like the "keeper" of the Island, if you will, since he was there for all of the Island's "leaders" shown so far. I agree that I might be taking this a bit far, but Lost IS a show that's based upon incredibly fine details.

  17. Well, I think there's quite a bit of evidence to support the idea that Locke isn't the ONLY person to have died and come back to life on the island. True, but I was just wondering how Richard not aging can be so confusing when it's clear that some characters are "special" and others aren't so much.
  18. Not really. Film and comics are two different mediums, what works well in one doesn't necessarily work well in the other.

    Gran Torino

    I liked the movie a lot. I'd rated it as an 8, but it's really more of an 8.5 or so. The story was solid and Eastwood was perfect for his role, and I think that he should be pleased if that's the last time that he acts in a film. However, I felt that his performance was just on an entirely different level than all of the other actors in the film, who were just average at best. They kept the film from being truly elite. Oh, and part of his quick transformation was that he probably knew that his life was nearing its end (his wife died) and since he had already alienated himself from his own family, he was eager to connect with someone once he found out that his neighbors weren't so bad.
  21. I'd give it around a 9/10. I really liked it, and I can't really find any major flaws. The acting wasn't incredible but it was pretty good, and I really liked the technical aspects of the film. The music was very fitting, and the cinematography was quite beautiful. Everything was edited together well too, with all of the questions flashing back to the answers in Jamal's life. Technically it was a very strong film, and since everything else was at least decent/good it deserves a high rating. However, I recommended it as a rental. It's not really a film for everyone. If you're not at all interested in the technical (or artistic) aspects of film then it'll probably still be an enjoyable movie, you just might not appreciate it as much as the critics do. Rent it first, just to make sure.
  22. Why do we use spoiler tags in this topic? Aren't they pretty pointless, considering that the topic is marked for spoilers?
  23. The whole "nine films" thing is slightly misleading, since he'll probably have just a short scene or two (like in Iron Man) in a few of them.
  24. Please, somebody get Terry O'Quinn another Emmy.
