I wonder if Parise has any interest in leaving though. He has a no movement clause so he needs to agree to it. He's another one in the seemingly long list of guys who want to return home and play in Minnesota. But hey, while we're on that note... Hey Bill, I hear that Kyle Okposo would love to go home too.

Minnesota must have something more in the works because they're starting to look Buffalo thin up the middle. Right now it's a mediocre Rask and a bunch of kids (oh, and the huge question marks on hometown boy Bjugstad).

The lucky little bugger has a Switch as well so I’m not sure where we’d keep 3 consoles 😀I suspect we’ll box up the PS4 and keep in case of an emergency.
It's good for at least netflix or some other streaming services, depending on what you use.

Johansson was the kind of guy I wanted to see in a playoff game. You have to actually get there though. This deal looks like a good one, a one-for-one deal exchanging a guy you don't particularly need and strengthening your weakest position. We added the more productive player, with both guys a year away from UFA, and somehow actually lowered our cap figure. If this had been a pick or a prospect I would have been a bit more skeptical, but I can't see anything here to question.
On it's own, yeah, it doesn't mean all that much. Hopefully Adams has a few more things up his sleeve, more than just re-signing a bunch of the pending free agents. Obviously they have to do something with so few guys currently under contract.

I have a question if somebody can answer please?
My son has a PS4 and has done well to save money to buy plenty of games. The vast majority of which are downloads from the Playstation Store. If we get him a PS5 for Christmas and sign in with his current Playstation account details will the games he downloaded be available to play?
We'll get him a game or two for the PS5 as well but he might want to play his PS4 games as well while saving up for more PS5 games.
Cheers.
Does he plan on getting rid of the PS4? As long as he's not selling off that machine (will there be much value there?), he can still use that one too. I have a PS2, 3, and 4 hooked up in different spots in my house.

During the school year, you have to obey school zone rules. Most school zone speed zone signs also say "between 7 and 4 on school days" or similar. That means Monday through Friday except on legal holidays like Columbus Day or Thanksgiving break. Some school zones have flashing lights during school hours and signs say "speed limit 20 mph when flashing". Unfortunately, I've seen those lights not flashing when the school was obviously in session and sometimes flashing on weekends.
That's not really the question though. It's the COVID question. If school is open, but everyone is remote, are those school zones still in effect? I guess I might as well be asking about a tree falling in the woods with no one around. I could see a technicality being used to argue either direction on this one.
But then again, if the school in question was actually open with students, that settles this question.

I'm not really sure on why a thread about whether or not to contest a speeding ticket has to turn into this garbage.

That trailer probably gives a good idea of how the character mentioned earlier in this thread will come into play.

Open or not most speed limits near schools are 25 MPH.
When school is open and the light is flashing then it drops to 15 MPH.
Kids still like to use the fields or rec areas of schools
Now if school's open but it's 100% remote, are those lights still blinking? I've always assumed those lights were pre-programmed to blink on those weekdays, but maybe that's not the case. I have a school zone pretty much right up the street that I'm driving through a lot. Their lights are blinking, but right now there are zero kids. The police station is also on the same road, so I'm sure there's more than enough opportunities to pull people over. I'm mostly thinking out loud here, but I have no idea whether or not they could hold people to that school zone speed right now.

Is the school even open? I'm not sure whether or not that matters, but I'm curious.

That trailer had me worried that there is no Michael Caine in this one.

Yeah, amazing how many shows feature housekeeper when the overwhelming majority of Americans not only haven't ever employed one, but have never even seen one.
The most recent show in the options ended 16 years ago, unless I missed something. So either the list is a product of the age of the posters here or it's a role that has been phased out from shows over time. I'm having a hard time thinking of many from more recent shows, but then again, the sitcom has been dying a slow painful death for a while now.
By the way, I vote Geoffrey.

Us Buffalonians have taken so much grief over the years for snow. Seeing these stories each year and any hurricane coverage, I’ll take snow all day.

I just hope they keep Krueger and his assistants. I’d hate to see him fired because he refused a 2nd pay cut. No way can we afford a cheap, rookie coach on top of a cheap, rookie GM.
If they fire him, they're still paying him though, right? So they can't really do that because it only adds payroll in the form on the next set of coaches.
If things don't clear up soon, this league is in for some trouble. I never thought contraction was a serious possibility for any of these leagues, but it could be if money continues to tighten up. I wonder if Seattle may try to convince the league to push the expansion back a year or more. Obviously the league really wants that expansion fee, but if you're Seattle, do you really want to pay that right now given the uncertainty.

My initial thought was Linda Cardellini but the comment about tv being her most well known role ruined that. I'm not so sure Cardellini even has a most well known role.

He’s not being charged with murder in the first. At present the charges are first degree intentional homicide, first degree reckless homicide, and attempted first degree homicide.
According to witnesses, Anthony Huber attacked Rittenhouser with his skateboard after watching Rittenhouse shoot Joseph Rosenbaum, who also later died from his wounds. One skateboard. One. And used in defense of human life to boot. Some might call that a heroic act, but never those pushing a far right agenda.
People with guns? According to witnesses, there was one person with a gun, Gaige Grosskreutz who, again after Rittenhouse shot Rosenbaum and Huber, walked towards Rittenhouse with his arms raised before Rittenhouse shot him in the arm and Grosskreutz ran away.
Presumably, these witnesses and facts will be presented at trial. In the meantime, the far right has to work overtime to paint this kid as anything more than the trigger happy trouble maker he appears to be. That includes fostering a false narrative that he was the victim of unprovoked mob violence and was just trying to protect himself while “being chased by people with guns and hitting him over the head with skateboards.”
It's all a matter of semantics at this point, but I can't really use the label of trigger happy when the only people who were shot were people who came after him. This whole thing will come down to why that first guy was chasing him. I don't know if details of that are out there yet, but I haven't seen it.

Towards the end I noticed that this is the first Batman movie that acknowledges he wears the eye makeup under the mask. Where the old ones it magically disappeared when he took the mask off. Small detail but it always bothered me for some reason.
Nirvana was a cool touch as well.
Also as far The Dark Knight Rises not being as good as The Dark Knight. Agreed but IIRC the plan was going to be Joker again as the main villain but obviously plans changed. So who knows what Nolan’s original vision for the conclusion would have been. It was a very good plan B.
I doubt he was ever going to be the main villain. I can't imagine any story that wasn't going to bring the Ra's storyline full circle. If anything, I'd bet that Joker was going to have the judge role that Scarecrow filled.

I doubt a jury will convict him of murder or frankly anything. The people who were shot were not innocent bystanders.
He was about ten seconds from being severely beaten by an unknown number of assailants and the video shows one of the people chasing him was also armed with a handgun. No one is going to sit there on the street and get beaten to death.
Should a 17 year old kid be out patrolling in a riot alone without adult supervision? No. If anyone should be brought up on charges, it's those two people.
Has anyone else from his group been identified? I’m. It sure if I’ve seen more than one other person in the videos I’ve seen, but that may be the so called adult supervision you’re mentioning. -

??? Hes completely against deputizing armed militia like Rittenhouse and said nothing about race in the second video.
He may have mentioned race and he may not have. It's tough to tell from that selectively edited quote. We're judging the book after reading only the last chapter, that's what we do all the time in this cell phone video world. We really need to train more people to have the initial reaction of "well what happened before they started filming". Sadly there's no ratings in that line of thinking. We need immediate gratification.

I agree. They could do that if they were able to pull off the universe the way Marvel did. Like how we'll now have a new Capt America and no Iron Man....or a new Iron Man?
But DC has sucked at it.
Joker and The Batman seem like they could be great starting points for a good series. They say Joker is not related to this one, but the tone and the Joker-esque gang in the new trailer seem to match Joker.
I hope they never follow-up Joker. That movie was perfect as a standalone.

This is a worn-out complaint, especially with iconic comic-based movies. The comics themselves tell thousands of stories and include different versions of the same hero/villain.
Why should that be different with movies?
When it comes down to it, all movies are the same old stories told in a different way, under a different context, with different characters. Its just the passing on of ideas through different groups and generations of people.
So don't expect super hero movies to go extinct any time soon and we can look forward to niche characters being thrown in here and there.
They absolutely need to tell a good Silver Surfer/Galactus story on the big screen with awesome effects. The 2007 film was a bit disappointing.
It's odd though. With all those stories and source material, they keep going back to an early in his career Batman. Snyder was really the only one who didn't. He planted a ton of easter eggs for what could have been a very different version of Batman than we've seen in movies. We've never seen any of the rest of the bat family in anything but the campy versions. If they really want something different, particularly with these darker takes, they need to bring Jason Todd to the big screen. That will shake people from the "same old story" line of thinking.

So the film that is supposed to unite all the Batman movies as coming from a common place rather than treating them as separate entities? Sort of the Rick and Morty of Batman movies where there is a multiverse of Batmen with some time travel thrown in(which is distinctly not Rick and Morty)? Hopefully not literal time travel so few movies handle that well.
That doesn't feel like a good idea but we will see I guess.
I hope they don't do that to the Spider Man movies but I guess they sort of did with the animated one. The earlier ones just need to be left alone to die. When Disney redoes XMen to be less of a debacle let's equally hope for a clean reboot.
The time travel in the story is along the lines of Back to the Future. Flash goes back in time and stops his mom from being killed. That ripples through time, changing a ton of things. One big one is that Bruce Wayne is killed instead of his parents and Thomas becomes Batman. They can't do that here since Wayne has to be at least 20 years older than Flash in the movies. So they'll just do the multiple universe thing instead. There probably will only be one Batman at a time, so Affleck and Keaton won't both be in the same scene.
