Knights of Andreas 5.01: Hail to the King
theMileHighGuy replied to SteVo's topic in TGP Interactive Leagues
Craaaaazy start to this season. Did not see that coming at all. The secondary just went in the shitter. So, did D-Jam beat Blake Griffen at arm wrestling or what? -
I've never loved the actors in a movie so much, and hated the shit out of the actual movie, as I did with Suicide Squad. They just did a really bad job of making a movie even though they were given really great pieces. I agree with Milla that I thought Leto's Joker was on point. Even the tattoos actually worked in practice. However, do I think he could star in a Batman film opposite Ben Affleck and have that movie work? No, not even a little bit.

I'd like to see D-Jams awful stats with Mad Max -
Knights of Andreas 4.14: Super Bowl XLIX
theMileHighGuy replied to SteVo's topic in TGP Interactive Leagues
Took tonight and binge-watched the final 12 chapters of this season. What a ride I thought the way you captured the game sequences this season was particularly engaging. I really liked the MNF game and thought Gruden and Tirico were captured really well, that was an interesting way to portray it. Made it feel more real than through the eyes of a generic narrator if that makes any sense. That said, the AFCCG was legitimately intense - really thought that one could go either way. Some of my favorite parts of the season were the inclusion of the real-life sports shows, again making the whole thing feel more real. I thought the final scenes describing the celebration were particularly beautifully written, gg. I loved Maverick going upside D-Jam's head and setting him straight. I knew D-Jam would check out once it became a run-first offense. It was cool to see them go back to work though when he got back. I'd like to think they share a fair respect for each other. Can't wait to see where it goes from here. Sucked watching some of my favorite players get sniped after the Broncos won the SB, and it will be hard when it inevitably happens here. -
Most underrated player(s) on your team's roster
theMileHighGuy replied to FartWaffles's topic in General NFL Talk
This time last year I would've said Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan... well... shit. Guess they got recognized. RZ already mentioned Todd Davis and Kayvon Webster. Webster was arguably one of the top performers on the team during the playoff run... he seemed to make a huge play on special teams every game. I feel like Derek Wolfe and Brandon Marshall deserve some mention here. While they're talked about quite a bit in Broncos circles (and here a bit), I don't think they get the national attention they deserve. Marshall has tallied over a hundred tackles in each of the last two years, with and without Trevathan beside him. He's gone from a journeyman castoff to being molded into one of the premier ILBs in the game imo. Last year he showed amazing improvement in pass defense too, really becoming an every down player that we relied on. Our defense was great before Wolfe came back from the BS suspension, but when he got on the field it became something else. No one could run the ball and pockets were getting crushed. Wolfe was showing he was really healthy again after his health scares. He has the highest motor on the defense, and yes that includes Von Miller. He really does play a lot like JJ Watt (I think it was Farty or Bay who made that comparison initially, and I totally agree). If I HAD to pick someone from the offensive side of the ball, I guess you could say Emmanuel Sanders. He's easily the fastest player on the team, and imo the more reliable receiver over DT in recent years. Despite what a certain hater here thinks of him, he's an awesome player. -
Finally got to see X-Men Apocalypse. I honestly didn't care for it. Didn't think it was anywhere close to as good as DoFP. My biggest complaint was Apocalypse himself. I don't have any problem with Oscar Isaac, but he wasn't right for this role. Even with all the CG and voice modulation he wasn't imposing in the least. One of the most powerful beings in the universe... is shorter than Storm. Not to mention, everytime I saw him I thought in my head "THAT'S ONE HELL OF A PILOT!!! WOO" I didn't have that much problem with Mystique. They've been completely rewriting history for some time now so she's just a good guy in this world. It's the kind of world where Professor X would encourage Jean Grey to let the most powerful force in the universe take over. Mystique was way too gorram blue... she looked stupid. Beast looked really stupid... like really fucking stupid... even worse than first class. Apocalypse looked stupid, and a lot of the special effects were just terrible. Like some of the scenes looked like they could've been pulled from a Syfy movie... I really didn't get it, the movie just fell flat with me for the most part. Fassbender, Sansa Stark, Hugh Jackman, and Quicksilver were really the only saving graces of the movie.

What Game Are You Currently Playing?
theMileHighGuy replied to Phenomenal TJ's topic in General Entertainment
I've been playing DOOM. It's pretty cool. Multiplayer is crazy. Old school kinda of quake/unreal tournament style. -
Yeah for sure, the only saving grace with them not going forward with the spinoffs is maybe getting Bobbi and Hunter back on the show somehow (LMDs? ) Hunter could've carried a show on his own. should I still watch the second season of Agent Carter even though there's no more?

AHH lol didn't catch the april fools

christ I'm glad it's not one of the main trilogy. ... and seeing his name attached to a legendary movie like Seven Samurai makes me cringe, even if it's just in 'style'. That idea sounds pretty cool though, definitely wish someone else had that project. Idk where they're going to find that many Jedi in a universe that currently only has 2-ish. Headscratcher.

Once a month superhero thread post go: I've seen Civil War a few times now. From the castings to the re-worked for cinema storyline, and especially I thought from a directorial standpoint, it was great, and personally has supplanted the first Avengers movie as my favorite super movie so far. It's really hard to make so many actors, especially big stars work together and fill the screen-space well and meaningfully. BvS struggled to do it with 3ish, but the Russo brothers held together that epic cast while still keeping you into the idea that it was a Captain America movie to begin with. I'm really glad that they're going to be heading up the Infinity Wars movies... I love what Joss Whedon brings to the table, but I think the Russos get comic fans and the universe in a similar way and know how to deliver. The biggest thing I was worried about was the plot. The actual Civil War storyline is immense, and involves probably over 100 heroes, and I didn't think that it would be possible to get that same effect in a couple hours and with just the handful of characters available to this franchise. It handled it well enough, but the way things have shaped out I don't know if a lot of things I wanted to happen can now. If they're going to do a Planet Hulk movie/series, and further upon that World War Hulk, maybe my favorite comic runs ever, it's going to have to be massively reworked. They did it once, but this would definitely be a stretch. Maybe Hulk does something in Infinity Wars that makes the crew want to send him away. That's not even considering the Illuminati and all that which I can't see even being remotely possible at this point. Still not even sure what his role in Thor 3 is going to be, but I can't wait to see it. This could be when he goes, idk, but I don't think he's officially penned in for Infinity Wars yet (though I dunno how the team wins without him). As far as the movie's revenue, one thing that definitely hurt (well more like nicked with as much as it has made) that grand total was that there was a pretty high quality copy of it on the pirate web within days of its release. I personally (and shamefully) didn't see it in theatres. I'm positive that with the tens of thousands of seeders that I'm not the only one. Anyway, onto TV. I absolutely loved the last few episodes of The Flash. The speed force episode was epic. Unfortunately, the finale of the finale was super stupid and typical CW nonsense. I'm almost tired of typing it but Agents of Shield <3 <3 <3 <3 God damn. I think I actually enjoyed the 2-part AoS finale more than Civil War. The action was so on point, and they definitely pushed their effects budget with Hive and Daisy. Hive's true form before the hilarious Star Wars joke looked awesome and very much movie quality seamless. Moreover though, the acting in the show is just so continuously unreal. When Daisy broke down with Mack in her room the tears definitely wanted to flow. Brett Dalton as Ward/Hive was just insane this season. Completely different direction but I've been reading the most recent run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comics lately. They're crazy and definitely return to the very dark roots of the original TMNT series. It makes me even more depressed about that shitshow that's about to release a sequel.

you fail to live up to expectations...

not only that, but just one of the best shows on tv imo. It easily, by far, has the best action/choreography of almost any show I've seen at this point. May fighting the dude from Iron Chef in the blank room kicked fucking ass. (Mark Dacascos, actually a huge fan... if you've never seen Brotherhood of the Wolf, you should... saying 'dude from iron chef' is a lot more fun tho) Wardhive never used her name, but Colson still called her Skye, even though he's been calling her Daisy for a whole season or more now. I was wondering if it was intentional/meant anything. Still haven't gotten to watch season 2 of Agent Carter. So killed for time and way behind. Haven't even started watching this season of TWD yet and now GoT is starting

Surprise to no one and absolutely nothing new They're actually worse than Iggles fans which is hard to believe Crazy how different the Pens are since Sullivan took over. Playing so well together, and looked absolutely unfuggingstoppable tonight. Really rallied around Murray who played outstanding in his own right. https://twitter.com/NHL/status/723300323058536448 And crazy individual efforts like this shit!
-
the last ep of the Flash was absolutely dumb as hell and the epitome of CW programming meanwhile Agents of Shield with crazy surprises and badass action. I'm 1 episode behind on Gotham but DAYUM that shit with penguins new family was awesome. Somehow though Nygma continues to steal the show.

Went into BvS expecting a hot hot mess, and wasn't disappointed. It was like watching Seven Psychopaths the superhero movie, but with terrible direction and way less acting talent. I'm not mad I spent 11.50 to see it, but I definitely won't go see it again. It was a nice visual spectacle at least with cool fight scenes. They did nothing to make me care about any of the characters. Ben Affleck wasn't as bad as I expected. Eisenberg and the plot were though. I feel like the metacritic score is a lot more fair than the 30% on RT. On a different note. GOT damn Agents of Shield. On another level, I haven't cried to TV in a long time.
