My son was heavy into the Buddies movies way back when. I had no idea that that the Santa Paws movies were canon.

“Listen, Air Bud was like … Air Bud was like The Godfather to me as a kid. I’d run that VHS tape back maybe three times a day. A movie about basketball and dogs — two of my favorite things in the world? It didn’t get much better.”

I haven’t tried Fox’s app yet. I know with the CW app, audio routinely falls out of sync. And with NBC, the audio will disappear entirely sometimes after commercial breaks. I use Hulu as much as I can, but some ignorant bastard at NBC made the decision to keep the Blacklist on the NBC app only.

He’s Will Smith; doesn’t he have enough Hollywood social capital to have nixed that line?

I watched it the other night. I’ve never read any of the books. It felt very much like the set up for a television series. There were hints and allusions but nothing was every really explained. The action was fine, but nothing to go nuts over, like they were holding back the big tricks for a few episodes down the…

And they look heavy as all hell. The bridge of my nose is weary just from looking at the photo.

So I wonder if ESPN would pursue the right flex games in and out of it’s national broadcasts. I’m thinking specifically about the NBA, but I guess it would work for MLB too. If you’ve got a stinker of a national game set for ESPN prime, but there’s a better game airing on a former FS net in the same slot, would the…

The narrative is, ‘They took two POC characters from the book and cast white actresses to play them.” cast Tessa Thompson in another role doesn’t really change that, right?

I’ve never quite understood people who pretend to be ignorant as a way to win an argument.

Thank you for accurately exhibiting, “the industry’s problems with race writ large.” 

“don’t forget on how The Punisher glorifies domestic terrorist and gun worshipping!”

Agreed. The Last Stand was irredeemably bad. Apocalypse is at least watchable. Plus, this was first X movie to really give Cyclops something to do.

“Here are all the valid reasons why the Sixers didn’t play him. Also, the Sixers were horrible monsters for not playing him.” I’m glad he got traded if only to stop hearing about how the Sixers were doing him wrong.

“The flyer is reductive in its oversimplification of the black mind as only caring about black issues.”

Had the same reaction, re: Emma. Actually, same reaction re:both points. Although at I was wondering if they dolled-down good Kara just to emphasize the contrast. She seemed a little less glossy in some scenes that usual.

I seriously don’t get the #FreeOkafor movement. The Sixers don’t play him because when he’s on the court, they aren’t good. Other teams aren’t trading for him because they aren’t sure he can be good for them. I’m sure there are teams that are curious, but why burn an asset for guy who they’ll probably be able to pick…

“There is a hard cap to what your team can do with Melo on it.” I don’t disagree with that. I will point out though that that is very different than “Carmelo ruins teams”, which is how he’s been treated.

The Nuggets won more games during the Melo era than at any other point in the team’s history. The Knicks made three straight playoff trips with Melo before the team fell apart for reasons that had very little to do with Melo. They won 54 games in 12/13. The last time that happened, Ewing was still on the team.

You’d recommend “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” or “Home,” depending on that person’s tastes.

I want to print this out and staple it to Giuliani’s forehead.
