Bugg Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Major League Baseball. Slow, boring nothingness. Didn't watch much last season. Tuned into the Yankee game in the 7th inning. Consisted of batters stepping out and practicing their swings as the pitcher and catcher stared at each other intently, covered by inane announcer talk that was mostly to try to keep everyone awake. On the occasion a pitch was thrown, umpire's strike zone appears to be the size of a shotglass crossed with a fly's annus.. And so many stupid things-season goes on forever, a pointless extra wildcard, BORING NOTHING CRAP. Won't be watching this season either. Don't be shocked when EPL or another Euro or a Latin American soccer league figures out how to put world class club teams in the US and eats MLB's lunch. May not happen tomorrow or even for another decade or 2. But it's coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the MLB was much faster paced with the introduction 20 second rule and batters box rule. IMO MLB has been twice as good as NFL and NBA. The drama, the heroics, the epic games, the athleticism, the constant change of guard. It's been really friggin good these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot speak to the NBA, but the NFL gives you 75-100 plays where 22 guys are in a huge gangfight. Baseball has almost no action at all. Was a time as recently as the 1980s when you could watch an exciting pitchers' duel in 2 hours; no more. And they are okay with that. Good for them, but I am not watching it.

Yeah, you didnt pay attention at all then last season. The game was much faster paced. The NFL takes 3 hours to play 11 minutes. They run more commercials than plays. Spare me. It's by far the slowest game in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Braveheart, despite it's massive numner of historical inaccuracies. Shame, the real story was great as it was (something we can say about 99% of Hollywood "history" films). Iron Maiden was absolutely great.....till about 1989. After that, meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanted historical accuracy, give to PBS and see if they'll make a documentary or miniseries. Otherwise, just enjoy the story telling... because it's a MOVIE.

Yeah i think I read somewhere that Braveheart is considered to be one of the most historically inaccurate films of all time. I still love it though. Despite Maiden's more recent albums being less than spectacular, they're still amazing live. I saw them a few summers ago at Jones Beach. The best show I've ever been to.

jetophile Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Sun dried tomatoes. But see, they're never really sun-dried. They're pumped full of nitrates and shoved in a dehydrator. Plus, they taste like shoe leather. Does anyone really think that tomato paste is still made on roofs in Italy for American consumption? People are such suckers.

(I didn't see the other 3 movies so no comment on them) Javiar Bardem did a good job. Other than that the plot was convoluted and hard to follow, and the movie dissolved into a subpar flick the longer it went on. Critics slobbered all over it but I just never really understood the hype. Just my opinion of course haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was so much tension (and surprisingly a decent amount of humor mixed in). Even little things stand out to me (like that candy wrapper unwrapping during the coin flip gas station scene).
