Saw "Incredibles 2" last night, and it was very good. It was a welcome sight to see these characters again. There isn't much originality this time around, as this movie shares quite a few similarities with the first film, and that's a little disappointing. Still, there are some great action sequences, fun new characters and some good laughs as well. The first trailer had me concerned that this movie would just be a carbon copy of the first film, and in some ways it is. Thankfully, it does have it's fresh moments and it's a joy to see these characters going through their own personal issues and being superheros. I hope that Disney/Pixar will continue to give us more adventures with The Incredibles.

Not surprised one bit. Filthy Dodgers fans. Although I've heard many stories of what it was like at Candlestick Park. There were always fights between Giants and Dodgers fans. I don't know if it's as prominent at AT&T Park now, but the hate is still there.

The most heated rivalry in baseball is still Dodgers-Giants, and there is probably no bigger brawl in baseball than this one... https://www.mlb.com/video/marichal-roseboro-brawl-examined/c-409390583

I actually do too. That logo has a lot of detail, and is far more creative than the current one. And it turned out looking more like the wicked witch of the west's soldiers from The Wizard of OZ. There was a period of time when Gillette Stadium would play that war chant the soldiers made. It was quite funny.

I need help: 2018 Bills Home Opener
Mark Vader replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That's great. How ironic that we make it there the same year. I am also thinking about making this a once a year trip, but we shall see. -

I need help: 2018 Bills Home Opener
Mark Vader replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Since I will be there for a short time, a trip to Canada is highly unlikely. I may not even get to do the Falls, I don't even have a passport. Saturday I may just end up watching a lot of college football. So I may just look for a sports bar and spend most of my day there. If I don't end up seeing any of the sights, that's fine. My purpose in going is to see the Bills at a home game.....and to go to Hammer's Lot. qwksilver, thank you for the food suggestions. That is another topic I would like to address to everyone here. I don't care for wings and I'm not a drinker. Further proof that I am not originally from Buffalo. I do love good food. So where in Buffalo can I get..... The best Pizza? The best Beef on Weck? The best Italian? -
I need help: 2018 Bills Home Opener
Mark Vader replied to Mark Vader's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thank you all for your help and suggestions. By all means, keep 'em coming. I need all the advice I can get. Jim Kelly is the reason why. I liked him as a QB when he was in college. Then he was drafted by the Bills. I paid more attention to him when he started to play for the Bills, then I started cheering for the Bills as a team. That's it. -
I wasn't sure if this should be an "Off the Wall" thread or not. Mods if you feel it is, please move it there. Anyway, I'm asking everyone here for help on this year's Bills home opener against the Chargers. As some of you may know, I'm one of the unusual Bills fans that is not originally from Buffalo or any area near it. I am born, raised and living in California. While I have been to many Bills away games, I have NEVER been to a Bills home game, nor have I ever been to Buffalo. This year, I plan on changing that. Every Bills fan tells me, that if there is one game I should attend, it should be the regular season home opener. And that is what I want to do. What I need from all of you is advice and suggestions you may have on where to stay(hotels, area of the city etc.), what to see, where to eat, and how early I should get to Hammer's Lot. I plan on only being there for a short time. More likely arrive on Friday and then leave Monday. I'm not worried about getting tickets for the game. However, if anybody out there needs to share a hotel room or has room for me to join them, that would be great. So there you have it. I look forward to hearing back from you and I hope I see you all on September 16. GO BILLS!!!

I'm not a Beatles lover, nor am I a hater, I just don't know all of their music. Thankfully the topic is which is my personal favorite, so I chose the one that I heard the most often when I was growing up as a kid, which is whatever my parents played the most or which was played most often at parties we went too. That would be Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Although I do know that my parents played Rubber Soul & Abbey Road fairly often too. I just found myself liking Sgt. Pepper's more.

No doubt that the offensive line is a concern. There will be some games this year where it will be painful to watch. Hopefully Daboll & McDermott can get the right combination out there and play to their strengths.

Gee, I wonder why they've never done this before? That will look cool.

I wanted to post a pair of documentaries that are out this month and receiving outstanding reviews. "Won't You Be My Neighbor?", Is an exploration of the life, lessons, and legacy of iconic children's television host, Fred Rogers. And in "Three Identical Strangers", New York, 1980: three complete strangers accidentally discover that they are identical triplets, separated at birth. The 19-year-olds' joyous reunion catapults them to international fame, but it also unlocks an extraordinary and disturbing secret that goes beyond their own lives - and could transform our understanding of human nature forever. Calendar with Trailers. Note: These dates are for Exclusive or Limited release. These films may appear in your area at a later date. 6/8 "Won't You Be My Neighbor?": http://focusfeatures.com/wont-you-be-my-neighbor/ 6/29 "Three Identical Strangers": https://www.imdb.com/videoplayer/vi2892085273?ref_=ttvi_vi_imdb_1

Then who is your favorite?

Baseball (GO GIANTS!!!) & Movies. Doesn't give me my football fix, but it keeps me occupied.

UCLA's schedule is tough, but I don't think it is the toughest. Louisiana State has it very rough, even though they get Miami, Georgia & Alabama at home.

Nice chart. I've only seen the original "Halloween" as I've heard the other movies in the series are not that good. However, I have seen the review of everyone of these movies from Cinemassacre's James Rolfe. Check out his review of the series.

So will Astrobot be attending this year, or not? -
What does the phrase "The Good Old Days" mean to you?
Mark Vader replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall Archives
This pretty much covers it for me.
