  1. It's annoying when someone points out your writing faults on an online forum, eh?
  2. Always start a new sentence with a capital letter. Also, if you want your writing to make more of an impact, try to refrain from using 'to be' verbs.
  3. Oh man, and a local BC boy to boot! This kid better be training with some pros over the summer... imagine
  4. I gotta say I'm surprised at this. Not only myself but the whole theatre was laughing the entire movie. I love both Pynchon and PTA, and I really, really liked the movie. To each their own, I guess. 8.5/10 Watched Bronson the other night and, although I liked Tom Hardy before, it's now official... I have a major man-crush on him. Great actor, great movie. 8/10 Just finished watching Birdman... one of the best movies in a long, long time. What an amazing script and acting job by everyone involved. I never thought I'd ever give a 10/10 but I can't think of anything wrong with it. Simply amazing. This movie should make everyone in Hollywood look themselves in the mirror and question where the world of film went.
  5. Did you hear about the new corduroy pillows? They're so popular that they're making headlines. Do you know what Bruce Lee likes to drink? Wataaaaaa!
  6. So... no recent TSN trade rumours to report in this thread? At least I have an idea of who the top 3 players in the draft will be this year
  7. Totally felt it. It sent shivers through me because ya just never know!
  8. As a former MOD you should have seen this as redundant, no?
  9. Pynchon is awesome, although I must admit that Inherent Vice (which I will be finished today some time) is only the second of his books that I've read--one day I will tackle Gravity's Rainbow. I find myself enjoying his books every time, though. Maybe I'm enjoying IV so much because I've been stoned practically the whole time reading it ha! I can't wait for its release, the cast is stacked and who knows what PTA is going to do with the book? Might read Bleeding Edge right away too since I have it sitting on my shelf unopened and waiting beside a few of his others. Too bad about the DFW movie. Infinite Jest is of course another one on my reading list, but it scares me just thinking about tackling such projects... I would like to read a few books between semesters, not just one mammoth ha!
  10. Boogie Nights 8/10 Will soon be watching (again) Punch Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood, etc... going through PTA movies in anticipation of Inherent Vice coming out in December. Anyone here a Pynchon fan?
  11. You should tell your immigrant neighbour friends how well they speak english, I hear most love that sort of thing. Also, what is this "Canadian dream" you speak of?
  12. When it has to do with anything government related you will have your wish on the bi-lingual request, however, a private advertisement on a private sign is non of yours or the governments business.
  13. Back from school... what did I miss?
  14. It's an interesting pickle our Nucks are in... I admit that I was one who applauded the hiring of Torts, as I had high hopes that his "passion" would light a much needed fire under our seemingly unmotivated core group of players. The first 1/4 of the season it seemed like it was working and the team was slowly coming into their own and getting better. Then, let's look at what transpired: injury, injury, injury, injury, injury, healthy, injury, injury... you get the idea. Torts ostensibly has ridden our best players into the ground, benched our supposedly #1 goalie for an unproven youngster (although IMO Lack has been our best player all year), and instilled a lack-luster defensive system with absolutely no scoring potential/threat. So, what has GMMG done? Horvat, Mathias, Markstrom for Lou and Schneids. As the French would say, "c'est terrible." Is it Gillis' fault? Aquilini's, Torts', the player's? If the trades were not there, they were not there. I would much rather keep Kesler and revisit moving him at the draft--maybe we can even look into other options and convince him to stay while adding other key pieces which can help us contend again? Torts... I'm on the fence with him. He is a high risk high reward kind of coach to hire. So far I think it's failing. His system is tired and boring and he asks too much from his players with such a gruelling schedule. If you want to play that kind of game, role all four lines game in and game out. Imagine if Kesler gets injured between now and the end of the season o_O. The players... there seems to be no fire once again with our guys. It's hard for me to blame them when they're always dropping like flies, pushing game in and game out with no results, added with a coach who is most likely yelling at you up and down the dressing room. Fire Torts? I don't know. Maybe. Finally add some key scoring components before next season? 200% YES. Blame one faction more than the other? Nah. This is an organizational problem from top to bottom. Everyone needs to be better.
  15. That's some heavy rhetoric towards simple board rules. I'm not even mad... I'm impressed.
  16. Cheveldayoff: Hey, Kipper, I'm in talks with Gillis for a trade but he won't give up Horvat. Can you mention it on your program? Kipper: Of course! Hey, did you know I used to play hockey? Cheveldayoff: Mention Ladd's name for Horvat so that Gillis can say no to it but then yes to Kane. Thanks, pal. Kipper: I used to play hockey.
  17. I just watched A Serious Man, written and directed by the Coen's. 8.5/10 Most people will probably find it slow and boring, but their writing is phenomenal and I loved it. I have yet to watch a film by them which doesn't grab me. Can't wait to see Inside Llewyn Davis!
  18. I don't have any FA in mind, that job is up to MG and Co.
