Downton returned last night, only watched first 30 mins or so but best line so far (mild spoilers) - LMS Sep 22, 08:59 3

lets talk movies - If Liam's Walk/Tombstone movie can't make 30 mil - why would Denziel's -Equalizer the next week make $ 30 mil? -- nm - Epiphany Sep 22, 08:59 11
- Tombstone is a lot more drama, while Equalizer is a lot more shoot-em-up. -- nm - Mop Sep 22, 09:22
- Beats me. -- nm - Loyola Sep 22, 09:08
- Denzel's still a bigger star, and more reliable than Liam. Tomsbstones seemed like a dark, brooding drama with no good guys. Equalizer is a Taken/Man - Roger More Sep 22, 09:05
- Walk was rated R too. Not sure what Equilizers rating is -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 09:03
- Denzel as The Equalizer just screams Man on Fire, Part 2 ... which is an altogether awesome thing. - Will Hunting Sep 22, 09:00 2
  - rewatched most of Man on Fire Friday night. Love that movie. -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 09:12
  - I am looking forward to the Equalizer because I was thinking the same thing -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 09:10
- I know Walk is based on an a well liked novel, but the trailer made me think it was Taken 4. - ty97 Sep 22, 09:00
- That was my thinking too. The trailer didn't do much for me either. -- nm - LMS Sep 22, 09:00
- Denzel's more consistent. -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 09:00
- Equalizer is a lot more action oriented. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 09:00
I like that Gotham is premiering on Friends 20th birthday. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 08:56 6

    - Chandler is Alfred? -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 09:06 1
      - David and I were both wrong, Chandler is The Riddler. -- nm - Spawn Sep 22, 09:14

Finished the Destiny campaign and am level 20 at the moment. Bungie.net tells me I've played for 13h 0m 38s. - Shaun Sep 22, 08:52 14
- I'm Level 20 after 12h 19m 28s but I still have quite a bit of story to go. I haven't gotten to Mars yet. -- nm - Ender Sep 22, 08:57 5
  - I've been level 25 for a five days now. That's just unlucky. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:01 2
    - Sounds like you need to hit up the loot cave. -- nm - Shaun Sep 22, 09:02 1
      - I have some but it's deadly dull. Loot is so random. - David Sep 22, 09:03
  - 4h 10m on Story, 1h 6m on Crucible, 7h 1m on Patrol -- nm - Ender Sep 22, 08:59
  - Mars has 3 required Story missions and 2 optional ones. -- nm - Shaun Sep 22, 08:57
- Full time breakdown inside. - Shaun Sep 22, 08:56
- I think I've played less than an hour. I need a day of Destiny. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 22, 08:56 1
  - 3 co workers just bought it, 2 of them like it, the other hates it. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 22, 08:56
- I would suggest moving to strikes and group challenges. - David Sep 22, 08:54 1
  - Strikes are going to be my main focus. Need to keep knocking out bounties too. -- nm - Shaun Sep 22, 09:00
- so is there still stuff to do if the campaign is over? -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 08:53 2
  - Most of the stuff is left to do if the campaign is over. -- nm - Ender Sep 22, 08:57 1
    - And really, the "story" part of the story mode is light enough that there's no reason you can't go back and replay a mission just as a mission with the difficulty amped up. -- nm - Ender Sep 22, 09:04
Final Fantasy XV demo to be at least 3 hours long. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 22, 08:50 2

  - I feel like Wren's tenure was savaged by bad luck. - David Sep 22, 08:59 15
    - Uggla was a bad move, he was a subpar defender. - groiny Sep 22, 09:03 11
      - To be fair, the Braves of the 90's/00's weren't also drafting guys who touched 100 all the time - Will Hunting Sep 22, 09:06
      - Uggla was the best hitting 2B in the NL. We got him for part-time player and an erratic minor league arm. ANYBODY makes that trade. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:04 9
        
        best "hitting" 2b, who can't catch it unless it is 2 feet one side or the other. - groiny Sep 22, 09:07 8
        
        That's just silly. - David Sep 22, 09:13 7
        
        again, defense stats are silly too. - groiny Sep 22, 09:16 6
        
        I'll take them over an arbitrary opinion that isn't based in fact. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:21 5
        
        you can forgive the bad defense if you are hitting 30 homers and have a .350 OBP at a middle infield position..... - groiny Sep 22, 09:35
        
        here... -- (link) - groiny Sep 22, 09:26 2
        
        I posted the dWAR, dude. It's over. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:40
        
        here too, and he gets honorable mention for being a tad better than Dan Murphy -- (link) - groiny Sep 22, 09:30
        
        oh, it is not even arbitrary, I have been hearing for years how bad Uggla is on defense. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 22, 09:23
    - was Kawakami on his watch? if so, ew. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 22, 09:01 2
      - Okay, that's two. -- nm - David Sep 22, 09:02 1
        
        japanese players are just such a shot in the dark. - groiny Sep 22, 09:04
