    I always felt George saying Star Wars was for kids was his way to nullify any criticism of the prequels. Sure George, poop and fart jokes are for kids. Pod racing with a young Anakin is for kids. Starvation, slavery, stabbings, people getting cut in half...not really for kids. 

    We kinda saw some of it with the Return of The Jedi and the little Ewoks. It’s ironic he says that now with the two best films from each trilogy leaning in the more adult/darker direction.

    My reaction is still "Lucas had 15 years to write that and that's the story he came up with?".

    "Oh no, because of the blockade, all of our people are starving and dying!"

    Where? On that sound stage over there, behind the blue screen? 

    Trade federation and a political blockade? George really nailed “Star Wars is for kids”

    Does O'Dowd get first to 3rd on that JT single? I mean it was pretty obvious but still a good decision to use Duplantiers speed.

    More than likely not. O’Dowd did a hell of a job at the plate but glad we subbed there.

    O’Dowd’s lack of range is the biggest reason he shouldn’t play imo. Like you said, neither can hit (and neither is really good defensively) but at least with Dee the ball stays in the infield more often. Jack moves like a fucking turtle out there

    Yeah this is where I’m at with the two. In the field, I do think Dee is quicker in his footwork/movements. At the plate Dee shouldn’t over think it this year and just focus on putting the ball in play and making stuff happen with his speed.

    Still a very flawed team but I don't think anyone would be particularly happy to see us as a 2 seed. 

    A 2 seed with potentially 7 series wins in a row seems like it would suck for any 1 seed. 

    I agree and we have a salty lineup that when hot can be deadly. I could see them upsetting a regional host but it has to be in 3 games. Or I can easily see us go 0-2. That’s just the nature of this team. 

  6. Lando!!! Happy that he got his first win

    Danny taking an absolute nose dive from quali on is baffling. Total opposite for Yuki tho, heck of a drive from him.

    I'm the President of Danielstan. but he's making it so hard to defend him.  How do you qualify 4th one day and 18th the next?  C'mon man.

    Apparently fudged the tires. But 18th? That’s pretty bad.

    Maybe instead of a sponsorship name on the back of the car, they should put constantina in bold letters. That should help him.

    They're using spoilers for the rest of the story, g.

    For the Messiah aspects sure but the BG stuff being discussed is pretty much in Dune parts 1&2. Adding more context from the book doesn’t spoil much even if you want to read it. In my opinion if you enter a movie thread close to 2 months post release then it should be a given there will be spoilers/discussion about the film. 

  10. The timeline jump doesn’t bother me that much. In the book we’re here then boom, 2 years later. I don’t think the films condensed version hurts the overarching story outside Alia.  I agree with rimbo on the way Herbert portrayed her in the book and how it’s extremely hard to pull off on screen.  Having Alia be basically the same thing but inside of Jessica and mainly talking through Jessica was a nice substitute imo.

    I think he is…

    So you’re telling me our 2 best players, who are sophomores but age wise are still draft eligible?  Christ on cracker the next coach better be persuasive.

    Nope. Should be back. Belyeu, Gasparino, Borba, Galvan, Schuessler, Kennedy should all be back.

    We’ve returned much worse.

    Thank the lord

    His oppo power is wild. 
    I guess that’s not quite oppo but honestly I dunno that I’ve seen a guy for us that can so consistently leave the park to the opposite field

    Yep, he can drive it anywhere. Is he draft eligible?

    Not to my knowledge. He's always had an edge that many people don't recognize though, imho.

    I wonder if Danny feeling his seat getting hot, and the pressure to get better results, has made him be a little more outward with his emotions.  

  14. I’d be fuming if I was Daniel. What felt like the first weekend where he was putting it all together and could leave with momentum to build on, only to get stupidly punted by stroll and get a very harsh 3 grid penalty for the next race.
