Mark Vader

Because they want the movie to be about violence, not about heists.

While I am not a fan of the Mission: Impossible series, although I've heard it's gotten very good since J.J. Abrams got involved, I do like Tom Cruise as an actor. I've liked him more as he's aged. I never cared for "Top Gun" or "Risky Business" or "Color of Money". It wasn't until "A Few Good Men" & "The Firm" were released that I began to like Cruise as an actor.

I will be at Hammer's Lot in plenty of time.

The Summer continues to sizzle with high temperatures and high box office numbers.

I've always had a thing for Kristin Chenoweth. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0155693/mediaviewer/rm3953563904

Robin Sparkles is a multi-national treasure...

I didn't say the man was perfect.

Happy Independence Day to all of you. Thank you to Thomas Jefferson for writing the Declaration of Independence and to all the others in congress who signed it.

Beane grasps the incredibly obvious. I'm loving this guy more and more.

2 games? He's very lucky.

The Buccaneers have worn them as throwbacks since then.

I always liked the Fouts era Electric Blue uniforms

I voted other. Los Angeles Rams:

70% uninhabitable, right?

Yes

You're welcome, and I agree with you. There are a few exciting games to see early this season. The first 2-3 weeks is my favorite time of the college football season. I love seeing the match-ups of teams that almost never play against each other. Especially when they are strong teams, who aren't afraid to take on another powerhouse and prove that they should be National Championship contenders.

Didn't it already go that way with The Lost World?

I saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom today. I liked it, but the last movie was better. Definitely not what I was expecting, and I see what you mean about this movie having a dark ending, but the other stuff involving Maisie was disturbing as well. Why was Jeff Goldblum in this movie? There are some ridiculous moments in this movie, but that's not exactly new with this franchise. I'm fine if they make more. Dinosaur movies are a good thing. Yes, definitely a cue from the recent Planet of the Apes trilogy.

Week 1: Auburn Vs. Washington. This is a very intriguing game. Big on a national level for both teams. Jarrett Stidham Vs. Jake Browning. Game is in Atlanta. Louisiana State Vs. Miami. Are the Hurricanes for real? Can the Fighting Tigers still win big games like this? We'll see. Game is in Arlington/Jerry World. Notre Dame Vs. Michigan. The old rivalry continued. Huge game for both teams. That is unless if Brian Kelly sees this as just a "regional rivalry". Florida State Vs. Virginia Tech. Big early conference game. Tennessee Vs. West Virginia. Big game for both teams. They may not be preseason Top 25, but this game could be important in the long run. Especially if the Mountaineers can win in Knoxville. Week 2: Stanford Vs. USC. Another big early conference game. Texas A&M Vs. Clemson. May not be as big a game on a national level. However, it is a road game for the Tigers in a very raucous environment. Arizona State Vs. Michigan State. Spartans travel to the desert in a late night game. Never an easy trip. Week 3: Auburn Vs. Louisiana State. Yet another big conference game. Texas Christian Vs. Ohio State. On paper the Buckeyes should not have a difficult time in this game. It is in Fort Worth, and the Horned Frogs will be up for this. So we shall see.

I have to disagree with you on this. Pixar has made quality stuff even after Disney bought them. You already mentioned "Wall-E", but there is also "Ratatouille" which I thought was a very clever movie. "Up" is absolutely brilliant, and "Toy Story 3" should have won the Oscar for best picture. Let's not forget the recent "Inside Out" or "Coco", both very good and creative movies. Yes, not everything has been a home run. "Brave" was good, but had potential to be great. "The Good Dinosaur" was a misfire, "Finding Dory" was good, but I thought it was an unnecessary sequel and I am not a fan of the "Cars" series. Overall Pixar delivers, even after Disney bought them. Alright, my mistake, I didn't quite catch on to that. So have you seen "Incredibles 2" yet?

You both know that "Frozen" is NOT a Pixar movie, right?

Did you enjoy it? I haven't seen it yet, and the overall reviews have been average.

That's not a severed head.

Why?

They have Drew Lock & Clayton Thorson as the first two QB's being drafted and in the Top 3?!
