The problem for me, on a (totally inconsequential, I understand) personal level is that, even if it’s good, I’ll never be able to get past wondering what Wright could’ve/would’ve done with the material. He was the only reason they were making this movie in the first place, because he advocated so hard for it. It’s…

Between this, deep cuts in news operations, and the hiring of former USA Today stooge Mark Pesavento, among other moves, it’s clear Fox has given up any pretense to being anything other than the sports network of choice for those seeking dogshit.

A lot of people are missing this one.

Mediocrity is beautiful.

Easily the best pure writer on staff.

Boston the town is pretty awesome. The people suck.

Not above using her father’s suicide to sell the fight, however....

God, what a shitty article.

People are highly—HIGHLY— persuaded by the media. Jordan was treated like a God then. He could do no wrong. People made a lot of money off of Jordan love.

Yes, sir. Agree completely. My point was more about the limits of advanced metrics in certain extenuating circumstances and less about comparing AI’s skills with Lebron’s.

I consider myself something of a casual advanced metrics fan. I’m far from an expert, but I try to stay informed on the latest trends because I think the stats give us great information and help our understanding of the game reaches new levels.

No offense to the author, but this is truly a case of having The Masked Man do the tribute or GTFO.

Word. Jesus Christ. Word.

My long-suffering wife watches all these “high profile” Lifetime movies and the casting is always basically purposefully atrocious, I assume, because they never get it even close to right.

You know what? Fuck it. You’re right. That’s why Michael Bay’s movies are as well loved as this movie. Because nobody gives a shit about good characterization, just cool action scenes.

Well, the funny thing is that not every great (or even good) movie needs a character arc. Indiana Jones never changed. John McClain never really changed (until the movies got bad). Snake Plisskin never changes. Character arcs are overrated.

You can play that game with characters from any movie.

You never explained, even on the I09 forum, how these characters are “one-dimensional” or “cardboard cutouts.” The villains, sure. They’re one-dimensional, but in a way that’s good for the movie. They’re over the top and you want to root against them. You don’t want to like Immortum Joe in this kind of movie. You…
