BUT IT RIPPED MY HEART INTO PIECES. WHY HAN WHY? Kylo Ren just became the most hated villain in the galaxy.

 

The worst part was it was so obvious that it was coming...

Kylo Ren aka Ben Solo is Han Solo's son as per The Force Awakens, however on Wikipedia it states that Han Solo's only son is Jacen Solo (Darth Caedus). Is Ben Solo/Kylo Ren an entirely new character then? How does Jacen Solo/Darth Caedus fit into things? In the film Han and Leia are upset that Ben has went to the darkside, but if they've already had a son do it then surely it's not that big of a shock  

I'm quite new to Star Wars so this has confused me just a tad. Maybe I'm just missing something.

Were those things supposed to be Klingons?

Teaser trailer for Star Trek: Beyond, coming July 22nd

Not enough to get a real impression other than Karl Urban as Bones is still awesome. It will be interesting to see how this ends up without JJ behind the camera

There are tons of billionaires in the world, how many would be known if they walked into the room right now? Zuckerberg, Gates, Branson, Trump?

I'm sure there are tons of tech sector billionaires that nobody knows of outside of Silicon Valley. Out of everything to pick on in from that trailer, I think that point is the silliest to focus on.

I'm very happy about that. Unless they really wanted to delve into the mystery and all that, there is only so much more story to tell.

Guaranteed Thursday games are a thing, but Monday nighters aren't. This year the Jaguars, Titans, Raiders, Bucs, and Rams won't play one. The Lions went to London this year and still played two Monday nighters, so I don't think it's that either. I think the Jaguars never get them because they are the Jaguars.

Every NFL team is guaranteed one national game and with the advent of the Thursday night games (where every team has to play once), the NFL uses the quota for the bad teams on Thursday. I'm not sure if the London games count toward this. But with the NFL wanting to make the Thursday package permanent and on-par with the other deals, that may end as well.

Scott Weiland's ex-wife wrote a brutally honest essay for "Rolling Stone" on the side of him we didn't know. While it's sad to read, I feel it's appropriate to bring it to light. As the child of a serious drug addict, I know the pain his kids experienced their whole lives, it is heartbreaking. 

I'm guessing Sarkisian's contract will have very specific language that specifies what is "for cause." USC is a private school, so the details of his contract will only come out in discovery filings.

The way he was fired it came off very cold to me. Pat Haden was a great commentator, but it seems like he's been a bit of a disaster as AD at USC.

Carrie Fischer is awesome

The former lead singer of the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver was found dead Thursday night on his tour bus before a concert in Minnesota.

So sad. Just shows you again that you ultimately cannot escape the consequences of living such a rough life

He comes across more like The Joker in that trailer, and not a good one either.

When he interrupted the Bruce/Clark conversation with that laugh, it reminded me of the Joker.

Also, does anyone find it particularly funny or clever that Luthor has long, flowing locks that no doubt will be damaged so he ends up bald?

Another Zack Snyder movie where there's just 45 minutes of an entire city being destroyed as the climax, great.

Maybe it will be better in full context, but Eisenberg was ridiculous in that.

So, Creed is getting wonderful reviews. This makes me happy, I'll always love the Rocky franchise.

Except 5, fuck Rocky 5.

Michael B. Jordan was on Bill Simmons' Podcast and said that even Sly has started to disavow Rocky Vee. 

Creed was fantastic though, I think that Jordan and Sly will get nominated. I usually never care about this type of stuff, but the directing was awesome. The movie looked fantastic, Ryan Cooler did an awesome job.

ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne reported that Rousey has been taken to the hospital 

Paranormal Activity 5 is total dogshit 

Only thing that was missing...

First two episodes have been amazing. Given how their production schedule goes, they can keep this going for years.

The Falcons' offensive coordinator is Kyle Shanahan and Grossman has been with Shanahan every season since 2008, except for 2014 with Cleveland. (Even then, he spent two weeks in training camp with the Browns). Grossman knows Shanahan's system and could step in to play without having to practice much. He's  a security blanket.

Apparently, Glynn Turman (who played Mayor Royce in Seasons 3 and 4), was the actual runner-up to Harrison Ford to be cast as Han Solo. Originally, the character was going to be black, but George Lucas changed the character to be white after he realized that Solo was going to be a love interest for Princess Leia, and didn't want to deal with the headaches of having an interracial relationship.

Moral of the story is...George Lucas is a racist. 

I know for whatever reason, somebody has an unnatural love for Kellen Moore. Well, today Jim Caldwell said today the Lions won't commit to carrying three QBs on the 53-man roster.  Moore has been with the Lions three years and has never dressed for a game. During Moore's time with the Lions, Matthew Stafford has taken 99.2% of the snaps at QB for the Lions.

The long steadicam shot in "Goodfellas" where Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco are walking into the Copa through the back. Bonus points if it's in one take.

I'm starting to think hell be offered a deal similar to the "West Memphis Three," which was an "Alford Plea." That allows the defendant to still proclaim his innocence, but recognize that there is enough evidence to convict them at trial. The WM3 were allowed to plead guilty to first degree murder and maintain their innocence, and were re-sentenced to time served (18 years) and were immediately released from prison.

Michael Sam quit the CFL, said he's taking time to away to concentrate on his "mental health."

I think the biggest thing to come from it will be that studios will be very hesitant to to drastically sway from the source material when it comes to casting. I bet there's some delusional executive somewhere at Fox saying that people didn't see the movie because Michael B. Jordan was Johnny Storm.
