    I noticed Evans body language, attitude & demeanor got worse as the game went on. He looked to be throwing hissy fits & getting angry everytime he was sacked or hit. He didn't inspire or lead his team last night. He played lousy & was a lousy teammate. 

    Did he even go and shake anyone's hand after the game?  I saw him pouting on his bench for quite a while then they showed him get up and walk off, but I wasn't sure if it was to congratulate the Bombers or to run back to his locker room.  All I could think when I saw him was, stop being a sore loser and go shake some hands.

    Looking at this again, I realize that it's not confirming a snyder-cut.  It's just saying that Snyder liked the tweets that Gal and Ben put out.

     

    I kind of liked Justice League.  It's one of my guilty pleasures.  But that's just because I like ensemble movies where all the heroes are together.  There were a few things I didn't like, but for the most part it's one movie where I can overlook things.  Even though the CGI is terrible.

    really not even their baked goods? (hey to be honest the ones at the Tim's Rehab Clinic, their chocolate dipped donuts are basically plain cake donuts dipped in chocolate)

    Not for me.  Years ago they were good and used to bake everything in house.  Now everything is shipped to them and they just heat up the donuts.  They are very meh.  I wish Tim's would go away so we can get something better.

    Check it out on Google Maps.... place has cows on the roof.   The inside has not changed and has looked the same as it did back when I first went in the 80's.   But the quality of meat is really good.   The ground beef is night and day better then Costco or any of that putrid crap from Superstore/Safeway/Sobeys. 

    Yeah I saw the picture.  I just had to laugh at how you put it.  I could just hear someone forgetting the name of it and being like "FFS IT'S THE DAMN COW PLACE!!!"

    If your ever in Steinbach, Country Meet and Sausage have really good hot dogs or as they call them "Bluemnort Weiners." 

    There's a Country Meat and Sausage in Blumenort, MB, and there's a Country Meat Deli in Steinbach.  Are they the same thing?

    NVM, after looking at pics it looks like it is the same as they sell Country Meat and Sausage meat.

    Go to any local meat shop and you can find really good weenies. 

    We like the cow place on Nairn I think it's called sausage makers. Really good cuts of all types of meat.

    LOL..."cow place".

    You're right, I looked it up it's full name is Sausage Makers Delicatessen Meat Market.  I'll have to check that place out.

    Try hotdogs from Winnipeg Old Country Sausage.  If you don't like those - then you really don't like hotdogs. 

    I'm not sure if I've ever tried those before.  Do you have to go to the actual store or do they sell them at grocery stores as well? 

    I love hot dogs though.  My favorite is from Dairi Wip.  My wife buys the ones at superstore that are individually wrapped.  The fatter ones.  Although I like other brands as well.

    Not as big a Star Wars geek as many, but can respect the influence of the series on pop culture. But I would disagree about Attack being better than Sith. Curious how you would rank the entire series (include the spinoffs like Rogue or Solo if you wish).

    For me:

    1) Empire Strikes Back - beyond the "spoiler" that defined the whole series, the whole Hoth sequence and asteroid chase was really cool.

    2) Return of the Jedi - Ewoks never bothered me much, the Jabba palace and space barge was the cantina re-done much better (before the CGI re-do messed it up a bit), the bike race through the trees was the trench fight done better with obstacles, and the 3 simultaneous battles at the climax are great.

    3) New Hope - actually a pretty thin story, but it created the universe, so high marks there. But just not as visually dazzling as the two above it.

    *I would place Rogue One here I think, only saw it once in theatres but had low expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the tight story. My son hated it because all the characters were disposable in the end.

    4A) Revenge of the Sith - hate to give any credit to the middle trilogy as it cheapens the whole franchise, but this was far superior to the other two installments, so maybe I unfairly grade it higher by comparsion.

    4B) Force Awakens - felt like a re-tread of the original film, so I grade it lower for no originality, but nostalgia and cool effects rank it in the middle. On any given day might put it above Sith depending on my contempt for the whole middle trilogy.

    6) (and dropping) Phantom Menace - thought it was OK when I first saw it, but it has not aged well with me on repeated viewings. Like the movie Scream said, "the best movie villains, like Hannibal Lecter and  Darth Vader, are the ones that don't explain why they are villains". This movie destroyed that, and my God is George Lucas bad at casting child actors.

    *Would place Solo here because it was so unnecessary in the grand scheme of things.

    7) Attack of the Clones - if you can't fake chemistry with Natalie Portman of all people in a love story, then you and your entire movie suck. This is awful.

    😎 Last Jedi - Maybe because each movie since the original trilogy seems to have tarnished its legacy more and more each time, I put this below Clones. But this movie tried to do too much and could have had 4 different stopping points (again was expecting a re-tread of Empire, which it started out as, then morphed into a re-do of Return/Jedi, then tacked on another hour of, what exactly?) Maybe the final installment will give meaning to the middle story and make it better in overall context.

    Jcon wasn't saying Attack was better than Sith.  He said Attack was better than TPM and Sith was even better than that.

     

    ESB will always be number one for me.  Return and Hope are tied for second.  The Force Awakens is next.  Rogue One I didn't like at first but the more I watched it, the higher it got and I think it places just after TFA.  I actually really liked Solo and would put it after RO.  Then comes ROTS, TPM and Attack.  TLJ...I don't even know where to place this.  The acting was really good, but the story and direction were absolutely the worst of all the Star Wars movies.  I hate watching the prequels because of the wooden acting, bad direction, crappy script...but the ideas were really on point.  Where as with TLJ, the acting was the only good part.  The story, ideas and direction were just the worst.  And it makes me mad any time I watch it because of how they handled Luke, and that stupid useless casino scene...and the idiotic chase through space.  OMG that movie makes me so mad!

     

    Anyway...that's what I like.
