It’s also worth noting that Shadows of the Empire detailed exactly HOW those Bothans died. They all jumped into Y-Wing bombers and were led by Luke Skywalker to attack a cargo ship carrying the plans. Turns out that was a trap too, and the ship fires out a hell of a missile that wipes all the Y-Wings out. Later more…

I had a similar idea for a book/movie in the Star Trek universe to the one detailed in Federation, only it would have involved the Borg REALLY dedicating themselves to wiping out the Federation and Starfleet. At about the time that the Borg invade and assimilate Earth, the last Federation stronghold, Starfleet…

You forgot about Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. The plot of the movie definitely involved a super heat wave cooking the planet due to the Van Allen radiation belt being ignited by a meteor shower. As usual (in retrospect) the fix involves nuking the belt.

Wait a minute, David Ayer, director of the utterly fantastic Fury and End of Watch, directed Suicide Squad, which is turning out to probably be a giant turd? Time to play some sad music and brood.

Wrong. That honor belongs to Wrath of Khan. However, Rocketeer is very, very good.

At least two SUVs full of goons in the car chase, as well as one of the guys in the cargo truck.

Daniel Craig was about the same age when he started. Elba is far from too old.

That was a good dodge. The ball was headed right for his cheek, but he pulled back enough that it just clipped his nose.

As I recall, it didn’t take the third time through the order for Matt Carpenter to get to him in game 6 of the NLCS.

There won’t be an article about it, but today Wainwright threw a three hit shutout of a complete game. He struck out Stanton twice. Just wanted to mention it so that it was recorded somewhere on Deadspin.

Fucking awesome. I really want to see this. A fan made a black and white version of the trailer on YouTube, and that convinced me. It’s an incredible film anyway, so that doesn’t hurt.

Exactly my point. The whole reason city officials fought so hard to get the funding vote law invalidated was because they knew that there was no way in hell it would ever pass. Unfortunately they failed in the attempt to fuck over STL only because Kroenke’s demand for a new stadium was only a formality so he had an…

This sounds exactly like the bullet we just dodged here in STL when Kroenke took the Rams and fucked off to Los Angeles.

The difference here is that Wainwright actually is normally good, and he was giving credit to the Royals’ hitters for being on point and capitalizing on his mistakes.

You do realize that the Cardinals would have to do a lot worse than they’re currently doing to end up with a 90 loss season, right?

Fair enough, there hasn’t been a comparable moment since (though I distinctly remember some lady in a Blackhawks jersey screaming with hatred at David Backes as he was brutally injured last year) but you can’t deny that the Steve Batman incident was a stain on the Cubs fandom for years. How many times has a baseball…

1. You’re incorrect about the date, unless the Dodgers did it again, which is really bordering on epic levels of douchebaggery.

Because the levels of anger and hatred were comparable? All it took was a foul ball to make Chicago’s population treat Steve Bartman like an errant black man.

Twitter was a no go, because there was really no way to filter out the global noise (and there was a LOT of it) and focus just on what Orioles fans said. Did look at the Orioles official website for fan comments on old articles, and did find some commentary linking the protests to availability of public…

The original article is RE: a former baseball player ripping on another athlete for supposedly doing something unseemly, which is typically the kind of shit you hear conservatives spouting off. It’s kind of a “hey you kids, get off my lawn!” kind of reaction.
