James Cameron's movies usually are.

You mean the UK deserves someone WAY better than Charles, right? Because Charles is an absolute disgrace for sure.

There always is with James Cameron. He's a massive asswipe.

https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/40840836/reports-auston-matthews-named-maple-leafs-captain This was a long time coming; I've read that Leafs fans wanted that "C" off John Tavares for a good bit due to his lack of production. Matthews is the perfect choice. This upcoming season should be interesting for the Leafs.

Yep. This upcoming NHL season will be Rosen's 40th (and last) as the voice of the Rangers.

Oh definitely. He's not just nasty, he's a f**king moron.

https://nypost.com/2024/08/13/sports/legendary-rangers-voice-sam-rosen-retiring-after-next-season/ I had a feeling that Sam Rosen would call it a career some time soon. That's a voice I've heard for several years. It's not just his longtime work with the New York Rangers. He's done other NHL work on national broadcasts before, I've heard him call NBA games before on TNT years ago, and he's done some NFL games on Fox as well. Sam Rosen has one of those great golden voices, and as a hockey fan, I'll gladly enjoy hearing that iconic voice for one more season in the NHL.

HELL YEAH!! This should be good!

https://www.tmz.com/2024/08/13/skai-jackson-arrested-fight-boyfriend/ HOLY MOLEY! This is surprising news! WTF would possess Skai Jackson to pull this sh*t?!

https://tvline.com/casting-news/jared-padalecki-fire-country-season-3-cast-spinoff-rumors-1235318358/ HELL YEAH!! Not surprised that Jared Padalecki got a new gig after Walker's abrupt end! Very awesome news!!!

So the news hit yesterday that Jarren Duran, an outfielder for the Red Sox who is also this year's All-Star Game MVP, hurled a homophobic slur at a fan who was heckling him. The news has increased today, and it's being met with Red Sox fans defending Duran and making him out to be a victim of a "bullying" fan. Oh boy. Some have actually applauded Duran and one clown said that Duran was a "bad-a**." So what were the "mean" and "horrible" words uttered by this "big, bad bully" of a fan? Here they are: "Tennis racket, tennis racket, you need a tennis racket." Basically what that fan was simply saying was that Duran can't hit. That's all. And that's what somehow triggered Duran to hurl that slur at him, because "only big fat meanies would say that you can't hit." Oh boy. It shouldn't surprise anyone that Red Sox fans are defending this. After all, Red Sox and bigotry go together like the Yankees and winning championships...or like Donald Trump and a bad hairpiece. That same fanbase hurled racial slurs towards players such as Adam Jones (then with the Baltimore Orioles) and CC Sabathia (then with the then-named Cleveland Indians), and here's a trivial note: the Boston Red Sox didn't integrate until 1959--twelve years after Jackie Robinson broke MLB's color barrier. They were the last of the 16 teams who existed at that time to actually integrate. So yeah, Red Sox fans defending Duran's use of a homophobic slur doesn't surprise me one bit. And for the people who are actually vilifying the fan, let's get one thing straight: heckling has been part of sports for God-knows how long. As long as the fan didn't resort to personal cheap shots (talking about a player's wife and family), make any violent threats, or say anything bigoted, it's all good. The fan's comments didn't qualify under any of those negative qualities. And if Duran had simply either ignored the fan or responded with a non-bigoted shot of his own, that would have been fine. Hell, calling the fan a "dumb motherf**ker" would have been fine. Instead, he went the bigoted route, and based on how casual he said it, methinks this isn't his first time saying this. That shows me that a) he's always been bigoted, and b) he's immensely thin-skinned to resort to anything like that. Black and Latinx players have received much worse than Duran, but you don't see them going off the handle like that, mainly because if players of color actually did call out racist fans, it would be the players of color being called "soft" and "snowflakes" while the racist fan's "free speech" would be defended. As I said, heckling is part of sports. Bigotry isn't, or at least, it shouldn't be. And now it's out that Duran will be suspended just two games starting immediately. This was an in-house punishment, because the Red Sox said that they would handle it themselves. Even so, this is a slap on the wrist. Had MLB handled it, it would have been much more. Jarren Duran was completely wrong for what he said. He didn't have to resort to hurling a bigoted slur. He chose to do that. And the Red Sox chose to give him a soft punishment, because that team has condoned bigotry for decades. Thank God I'm a Yankees fan.

https://tvline.com/news/rachael-lillis-cause-of-death-pokemon-misty-voice-dead-obituary-1235318280/ I read this news on Twitter this morning; very heartbreaking news indeed. Rachael Hillis will be missed, and Veronica Taylor's tribute was very sweet.

I always thank the good Lord that I'm a Yankees fans.

https://tvline.com/trailers/hysteria-release-date-trailer-julie-bowen-bruce-campbell-peacock-1235313734/ I'm looking forward to this! Big fan of Julie Bowen, and Bruce Campbell being in this is absolutely epic! Chiara Aurelia is another bonus; she did the first season of Cruel Summer and was in the Fear Street three-parter on Netflix. This will be so awesome!

https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox-of-jarren-duran-issues-apology-for-anti-lgbtq-slur-directed-at-fan-on-sunday Why am I not surprised that it's a Red Sux player who did this? That fan base is full of bigots and morons. And why am I not surprised that Red Sux fans are actually defending him and using the fact that the fan was heckling him as an excuse? There are other ways to respond to the fan if you're not going to ignore it. Using a bigoted slur is not one of them. Something tells me this isn't the first time he's used that slur. He needs to be suspended...big time.

I haven't seen any of the Bridget Jones films; this news does have me a bit intrigued.

She's definitely using him. The guy needs to kick her to the curb.

Whoohoo!! I loved Season One! I think Season Two will top it big time!

I am DEFINITELY tuning in to this! It looks so good and awesome!!

It's that spoiled elitist White privilege. Kate's a bully, a racist, and a tone-deaf c**t. It's a prime example of a double standard we see all the time. White person bullies their way to everything: passionate. POC politely asks for something: "crybaby, ungrateful, etc." Kate needs to just go f**k herself.

Something tells me that the M3GAN connection will be revealed during the film. In any event, this looks very delicious!

I have to watch the first film, because this sequel looks quite interesting.
