May Movies: Avengers, Tomorrowland, Mad Max, Hot Pursuit...
Metal Man replied to Mark Vader's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I found the new Avengers to be missing something as well. I would rank it around average as far as the marvel cinematic universe films released to date go. I agree about it just not feeling in sync. I read that they had to cut around 60 minutes out of the movie because they had way too much story. My thought is that maybe if they release the full unedited version on bluray the story will flow a little better and feel more up to par with the first even though that would be a pretty long super hero movie. Fury Road was fantastic. Granted my expectations might have been a little lower but I enjoyed it much more than Age of Ultron. It is just a fun action ride from start to finish. -
Caught it last night. Fantastic movie. Two hours went by in a blink.

Game of Thrones Part Deax: The Readers Thread
Metal Man replied to Kevin's topic in Off the Wall Archives
This is the same as I've been thinking. What they leave out of the show going forward can spoil just as much as adding things that haven't officially been written by Martin yet. -
Ronny's on Aurora Blvd & Como Park Ave and Riva's on Walden near Central Ave (though technically Depew) are my two favorite pizza places in the Lancaster area by far. Both have been around a long time and seeing most of both of my parent's family is from Lancaster it has been present at family gatherings for my entire life.

Zorbas John and Marys I've been meaning to hit up Bar Bill since I've heard they expanded their dining area but I didn't have a chance the last few times I made it back.

Is the Flutie Curse over with?
Metal Man replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know if Bilbo is joking or not, I'm going to assume he is, but I definitely remember a small faction of people who didn't think Kelly should start the AFC Championship game against Miami based on how well Reich played in the comeback and against the Steelers. At least then people actually had good QB talent to argue about instead of debating which flavor of crap smells better like they resort to now. -
Is the Flutie Curse over with?
Metal Man replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Excellent point, but I'd argue the restraint and keeping it civil is what made the old way superior in a lot of ways. Or should I say... you TRBJ, 1999 sports debate was way better. Your couldn't find a lick of sense even if it was sleeping directly on your face. (oh, and by the way... Flutie sucked) -
Is the Flutie Curse over with?
Metal Man replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not at all. Flutie vs. RJ discussion brings back happy memories of arguing with my grandmother about the exact same thing. The good old days of sports debate before you could pick a fight at any time about anything with a random internet person anywhere in the world. -
Is the Flutie Curse over with?
Metal Man replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
With complete sincerity it warms my heart to know that almost 20 years later this debate is still hot and contested enough to reach multiple pages. Cheers Bills fan community, you have made my day. -
I hope they leave it how it is now simply because Bellicheat** has been one of the loudest voices calling for it to change. That being the case likely means that he has plans for some new method of gaming the system in the works that will almost certainly end up stiffing the Bills in some way as well as the rest of the league.

Prediction Time! What Will Tom Brady's Punishment Be?
Metal Man replied to Dorkington's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Boo, I made that joke 15 posts earlier. (Not sure it was even funny then though) -
I had serious doubts on this one but that trailer was pretty funny. Hopefully they saved the best jokes for the actual film.

Prediction Time! What Will Tom Brady's Punishment Be?
Metal Man replied to Dorkington's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's a really good point. I'm not sure where that perspective comes from but it isn't just confined to this board. My guess would be that it is more a reflection of how everyone views Goodell and Kraft's relationship. -
Prediction Time! What Will Tom Brady's Punishment Be?
Metal Man replied to Dorkington's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For Brady, 4 game suspension to be served in the preseason and a 20k fine. In all seriousness though I expect the punishment to end up being very minor just to try and mitigate some of the PR damage. I'd be surprised if Goodell came down hard on the league's golden boy and/or golden franchise. -
Game of Thrones Part Deax: The Readers Thread
Metal Man replied to Kevin's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I could see it too but hopefully he serves some purpose before Martin removes him from the story unlike Doran's son. I'm still not sure what 100 pages or so of Quentyn traveling to Dany just to get bbq'd accomplished. I forgot about the Hound theories. There are so many small details that I'm sure I've forgotten over the last few years. I'm hoping to do a re-read before book 6 comes out but it seems so daunting when you think of a lot of the fluff that comes along for the ride, especially in the last couple books. -
The Day the Series Stopped is very good too that I don't think was mentioned. That one is about the earthquake during the 1989 World Series. Also all of the episodes mentioned in this thread so far, along with many other 30 for 30 episodes, are available on Netflix for any subscribers out there.

Game of Thrones Part Deax: The Readers Thread
Metal Man replied to Kevin's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Right, I guess I thought the discussion was who would be the three heads of the dragon via the books or in general not specifically to the show. This is one of those things that can kind of get muddy for the readers. If they never bother to introduce Aegon in the show then can the reader's assume he has no real bearing on the outcome of the story? My hope is that the show diverges enough where you basically end up with very different resolutions to a lot of things so the readers don't have the story completely spoiled by the end of the show's run which I think we can all assume will be way before the final word of the book series is written. -
Game of Thrones Part Deax: The Readers Thread
Metal Man replied to Kevin's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I always assumed it had to be someone of Targaryen blood riding the dragons so not sure how you guys think Bran would fit. If R+L=J than it would make sense to be Danny and Jon as two. For the third my current guess would be Danny's nephew and Rhaegar's son Aegon. -
What three years of coke will do to ya
Metal Man replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
The girls I know who got too into coke always got fat after they quit not at the height of their usage. Sounds like sugar was her real problem. -

Ever consider buying a Brady jersey? (Sammy Morris was awesome by the way) -
Best road trip this season to see Bills?
Metal Man replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've been hearing good things about Nashville for a couple years now so that is the likely spot for me if I make an away game this season. -
Most "reviled" Bill on field type stuff
Metal Man replied to Beerball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Wow, I hope this is exaggerated or just not true. In any case Harmon is a good one. As far as this board goes, I don't think I've seen anyone hated on as much as Maybin was. It continued even after he wasn't even on the team anymore. -
I believe Forrest Gump nailed this debate on free will versus fate. Jenny, I don't know if Momma was right or if, if it's Lieutenant Dan. I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time.

ESPN's Britt McHenry on video berating tow lot employee
Metal Man replied to YoloinOhio's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If she really thinks her education is what got her ahead in life her brain power definitely matches her hair color. Hot chick sports commentators are plentiful these days, if this doesn't get her quickly replaced a couple years worth of extra wrinkles and pounds inevitably will.
