Fair enough… but even then it was just a one game playoff to decide the winner of the AL East. Since the article is "non-champion" underdogs the Indians seemed to fit the bill.
Since it was before the 3 division format there were no wildcard teams, and since a division rival (the Yanks) were the antagonists you…

Nope, in the press conference he talks about how they got their butts kicked, then he announces his bolting to the new expansion team with Foxx as a fuck you to the owners.

This is pretty crazy… even for the interweb.

The Durham Bulls in Bull Durham (place in league never mentioned, no championship shown)

Oh I liked it. I only listed post Legend movies I liked. But I found it to be lacking anything that made me think "Ridley Scott made this" in a visual sense.

Legend is the bomb!

I agree with this criticism, but would add that I've read plenty of non-fantasy fiction where the author writes themselves into corners and then comes up with some bullshit way to get themselves out.

I don't imagine they should let the people murder.

I agree with you on most of this. The problem of time travel to the future (barring the use of some multi-verse theory of infinite possible futures), or destiny, or an omniscient god, is that it not only threatens the warp one's perception of free will, but threatens the concept altogether.

Well the problem with that, in my opinion, is that if one pre-cog, or even two can be incorrect then why not all three? What made Agatha so special?
You also have the political shit storm that would result if the police were standing by when a murder took place but didn't intervene because it was a case with a…

Probably true. The problem is that something has to continually be proven to be correct.
For example, if I were to say that the force of gravity will always cause the apple to fall towards the ground we would accept that as true. It's always been true up to this points.
However, If I suddenly said, "you may no…

Unfortunately, that can't really be proven. It can be proven that it stopped 100% of murders, but is impossible to prove that it was 100% right that every murder foreseen would actually come to pass. There's no way to prove that something "would" have happened if it didn't happen. That's not to say it wouldn't be a…

I actually always assumed that the pre-cogs saw Tom Cruise's murder at the end (since they only see murders and not suicides) and that by killing himself, instead of Cruise, Max Von Sydow showed that pre-crime is ultimately flawed.

They change the future every time they prevent a crime. Therefore, the pre-cogs are wrong every time the pre-crime unit intervened.

I thought Pre-Crime was terrible idea. Arresting and imprisoning people for crimes before they actually commit the crime reeks of the Orwellian concept of "thought crime".
Anderton's example of a catching a falling ball was completely unconvincing. Unless human beings are inanimate objects incapable of doing…

I'll bite on this. I prefer the Godfather to Goodfellas. I love both movies but I prefer the Godfather. Something about the overall narrative of Goodfellas always put it below Godfather for me.
I guess it's the familiarity of the "rise to the top followed by the drugs and bad choices causing it to all come…

A big orange splotch on your perfect record. I bet that pissed you right off.
Is that why you hit your wife?
Withdrawn!
Is that why you drink and pop pills?
Withdrawn!
Are you a virgin?
Withdrawn!

That's harsh. I'm impressed, and maybe a little jealous, that they can get this enthused about something. I just can't muster the energy anymore.

I remember when some clowns (probably teenage punks) thought it would be funny to paint a swastika on a synagogue in my home city.
The fucking idiots painted it on backwards.
I've noticed this seems to be somewhat common. I guess the world just needs a better breed of neo-nazis. The kind that can construct fairly…

No wonder. How can anyone outdo the sexuality of William Shatner?
