Blueballz reacted to Taynted_Fayth in Upcoming Movies
lol derail this thread, Im pretty sure we've rode the crazy train quite a bit on various movies, hell last few pages were all about transformers and **** lol. That wouldnt surprise me about Stallone, I recall hearing waaay back in his prime because he was only like 5'7" or 5'8" they used to use camera angles in his movies to make him look bigger next to his co-stars to make his role as action star more believable, so if he decided taking some real hits was necessary, wouldnt doubt it in the least

Blueballz got a reaction from Taynted_Fayth in Upcoming Movies
Watching Rocky IV...heard in order to make it more realistic Stallone got Lundgren to really hit him, apparently he got hurt pretty bad too. My gf sleeping beside me while I watch...training scene, she thought I was watching porn LOL
Anyway...sorry this thread for upcoming movies didnt mean to derail...
See the leaked pics from the set of Star Wars VIII? Kinda "meh"...

dunno why, but probably cuz cube and dre were heavy involved in the production, where as eazy's dead and MC ren was just kinda ignored. It's been a while since I watched it, I cant remember if they touched on Dre's violent past towards women either

as soon as I saw "from the makers of Sharknado" it pretty much told me all I needed to know. throw in 90's boy bands and its a syfy original movie. I might take a pass. If it was the Spice Girls vs zombies, I might be willing to watch for the eye candy

There is for sure a connection. But it is also a stand alone film.

It looks like what happened spurred a conversation that will hopefully be the first steps in transforming what has been a place so many people avoid to a place where a sense of community could develop. That sounds good to me.

So, security replaced for enforcing company policy equally. If an Aboriginal security officer asks me to abide by company policy can I claim racism?
Six weeks after he was unceremoniously kicked out of Portage Place, indigenous elder and military veteran Joseph Meconse was honoured and received a formal apology during a press conference Friday to announce changes to the downtown mall’s operation.
“Today is a beautiful day and everybody around me is significant,” said the 74-year-old Meconse, who was kicked out the mall’s food court for loitering in late January despite having just sat down with a plate of food. “I’m just happy to be alive and happy to be here to stand up for our people and stand up for everybody.”
Meconse was honoured Friday as the mall’s official Ogichidaa, an indigenous ambassador and liaison. Bear Paw Security will replace the former security firm, to bring indigenous values to the mall, and a new aboriginal music series is being launched this spring and summer in co-ordination with Manyfest.
“Today, Portage Place will reach out to those we have wronged and in return we will ask for forgiveness,” said Portage Place general manager David Stone, who met with Meconse and Manito Ahbee Festival executive director Lisa Meeches following the incident to apologize.
“I think the incident with Joe, I could call it a tipping point. But I think more of what came out of that incident with Joe was conversation: Conversation with Joe, conversation with Lisa and some of the leaders in the indigenous community.”
In early February, Stone apologized for Meconse’s treatment and announced the elimination of the policy limiting patrons to only 30 minutes in the food court. In response to the incident, protests were held including a flash mob involving about 200 people.
“This is a very important and significant day,” said Meconse. “I finally got what I was working for: to get the people to gather together to be friendly, be friends with everybody.”
During the press conference Friday, Stone also took the opportunity to apologize to Annie Henry, a then-79-year-old from Roseau River First Nation who suffered similar treatment from Portage Place security in March 2013.
“Most importantly, we would like to start the process of moving forward but apologizing for the errors of our past,” said Stone.
A pipe ceremony and a round dance involving members of the downtown’s business and indigenous communities was held following the press conference.
In his role as the mall’s Ogichidaa, Meconse would like to work with Portage Place to make it the welcoming place he feels it should be. He said he would like to see the mall add comfortable furniture its elderly shoppers to use.
“My plan is to continue what I’m doing right now,” said Meconse. “At 74, as long as I can get something done today, that’s good enough. We don’t try to strive to get something (done) that we know we can’t handle. We have to know our boundaries and how far we can go.”

Blueballz reacted to JuranBoldenRules in Jones willing to take offers for #1 draft pick
Don't really see the value. Most of the guys you'd trade up to #1 for are going to be kicking around the NFL for a few years. Bombers need players now. More likely to trade picks for players than vice-versa. Would like to trade up to 3-4-5 for Timmis with picks though.

I think you are going to stay blue in the ballz department.
I have my doubts he shows up here this year. Maybe next year if he can't get a nibble.

Blueballz reacted to Floyd in Game 66 : Predators @ Passenger 57
Dano needs to improve his backchecking, works hard in front of the net though
Koz looked decent, not out of place - could be good 4th line
Would like to see more ice time for Copp

Main Street near Portage is totally fine. I'm half a block away from it right now.
There are a lot of problem areas in Winnipeg, but Main is much lower down the list, I'd say.

Hope to see Ladd raise the Cup this year.
Always cheer for the 'Hawks but now going all out when playoffs start.
