  • FYI: for anyone interested, you’ll also see the strict rules of the strike for members and non members alike: https://deadline.com/2023/04/hollywood-strike-wga-rules-1235337584/
  • Screenwriting 101: every scene has tension. Take two people in a room: one wants something, and scene-partner wants something as well... Take this away and make a good scene (if a character didn't want something, then it's just Basil Exposition t…
  • @thedove ... Lucky scoring those tickets! Enjoy the game! I have to assume that now both teams have the blowout win, we see a much tighter affair for game three. I just hope Toronto uses their speed, something they failed to utilize in that ugly …

  • Especially when they already have a bias against the actor; they relish taking an opportunity like this to say this is The Gospel… The wrist-slashing quote has been brought up on this site to prove what a dink Craig is, how he only does things for t…
  • I’m Canadian @thedove — from Toronto. And I hope last night’s game wasn’t a mirage. Yes, TB will come back doubly hard going back to their barn, but Toronto is younger and fresher (after all TB has marched into the finals for three years runn…

  • Thanks @LucknFate … my fingers are crossed that if and when the strike hits, the producer has enough elements in place to go and film (she is interviewing four directors at the moment, and if she hires one shortly, I could theoretically get a polish…

  • It's frustrating when we see this... Another example: our young, Slick, puck moving D, Timothy Liljegren sat for game one?!?? This is a guy that makes crispy passes in movement to the forwards creating unstoppable speed and momentum, but he's in th…
  • Just as an update: I said the WGA vote would be 98%… None of this is good, but some media companies wouldn’t mind a strike, as the article states, so it can kill deals and save $$$. So you have some bad agents involved and it’s clear nothing w…

  • I honestly think there were two actors in the role that were just naturally cool. I think two weren’t worried about the cool factor, didn’t try to be cool, but instead focused on their strengths. One was utterly lost in the role, but had flash…

  • Yeah, Philly is in trouble themselves. Including Hextall in on it, just adds to their problems.
  • Hextall and Burke were terrible! Crosby hoisted what’s left of a broken team to try and get into the playoffs. It’s better they didn’t make it this year. That way their GM and company gets the sh*t-can and whoever replaces them has a shot at m…
  • They are so deep. Not just as players, but craftiness and experience. It’s sick. And Boston looks similar. Strangle. Hammer. Pounce. They stress the collective nervous system of their opponents

  • Yeah, Boston looked too good. Suffocating. My Leafs crapped the bed hard last night. Keefe looked frozen on the bench. Too busy line matching. It was a disaster from the bench bossed on out. Nauseating to watch. And Bunting’s a thug that deserves…
  • There's one poster that says franchises like John Wick have a classic James Bond feel that the Craig Era lacked; another poster says Craig lacked coolness and was more like John Wick... So confusing, lol... I saw Craig as being effortlessly co…
  • But, @CraigMooreOHMSS Craig was told, by his trainer, an ex military man himself, to quit the cigs immediately. For good reason.

  • Not a problem to you @SIS_HQ ... And the books are the books, and even whilst reading them, I am taken out of them sometimes because of the amount Bond smokes! So I kind of hum over some of the extreme tastes he has and ignore them. In the films,…
