After Deadpool, I doubt they were be too concerned. Often the Director's Release is unrated anyway.

The first Starship Troopers was awesome. I remember seeing in the theater on a first date with a gorgeous girl named Vanessa. I didnt get the satirical nature and thought it was goofy. She did too. Years later I saw it again and LOVED it. Hilarious. I always wondered what happened to Vanessa. Weird that someone falls off the earth with no Facebook or anything. Oh well.

Good article here. The Sutton Hotel/Condo project will not be owned/developed by True North. Separate, but connected, development. Some major heavy hitters involved including Chipman, Thomson (bu virtue of owning True North), Richardson, Gagliardi (owns the Dallas Stars and Sutton). Very impressive. The highly anticipated True North Square development in downtown Winnipeg will be even bigger and bolder than originally thought. Revised plans revealed at a news conference this morning call for four towers, not three. It was also revealed that James Richardson & Sons Ltd. will be a 50-50 equity partner in the $400-million mixed-use development along with True North Sports & Entertainment. As well, Scotiabank will be an anchor tenant along with Thomson Dorfman Sweatman LLP in the largest of two office/ retail towers that will be built on the former MPI-owned lot on the east side of Carlton Street between Graham and St. Mary avenues. And Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries will open a flagship liquor-mart/food mart in the podium portion of the tower. The other two towers, which will be built on the former Carlton Inn property on the west side of Carlton Street will include a 27-storey, 275-room hotel and a 17-storey, 130-unit residential tower that will be owned, developed and managed by Vancouver-based Sutton Place Hotels. All four towers -- the second tower on the east side of Graham will include a mix of office, retail and residential space -- will be connected by skywalks that will link Cityplace to the RBC Convention Centre. As originally planned, there will also be a large outdoor public plaza and parkway that will include a water element, public seating and greenspace. They hope to have the first tower completed by the summer of 2018, and everything built by the end of 2019. The mixed-use development will include a 19-storey office/retail tower and a 27-storey hotel/condominium tower on the former Manitoba Public Insurance-owned lot and a nine-storey office building on the former Carlton Inn property on Carlton. All three structures will be connected by skywalks, creating another weather-protects link between Cityplace and RBC Convention Centre.

Im surprised they arent better at detecting these things. Is it because they are relatively "small" compared to most space faring objects? If that had hit Manhattan or Paris or somewhere like that....yikes. Although then we'd probably get some REAL investment in space exploration and development as opposed to diverting all resources to a close-minded military endeavor.

Ladd not at practice. Optional skate and several others missing. But ya know... Today's TNS presser would have been a good time to sneak in a trade

CBJ's Jack Johnson bankrupt
The Unknown Poster replied to AtlanticRiderFan's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
The problem is, the creditors believe he's in on it with his parents and they are being scapegoated to help him come out of this without having to pay all his debts. I would suspect this lawsuit to evict his parents would render that speculation false, but you never know. Supposedly he, in person, signed some of these deals. He might claim he trusted his parents so he didnt read them. But you should always read them. It does raise some other questions. Because it sounds like his parent's defense is basically look, we uprooted our lives and made significant investments of time and money to develop his hockey skills and help him become a pro. In return he gave us a house. And we're entitled to it. -
Batman v Superman will be getting a director's cut Blu Ray release. And it will be rated R. Tremendous!
-
And the popular rooftop patio. Apparently Hartley Richardson is a 50-50 equity partner which is pretty interesting!
-
Hopefully it actually looks like the renderings. Since they are actively under construction, one would think they will. Supposedly they were telling people today that the renders are accurate.

Much ado about nothing I guess. I have had Oxy before and I wonder what would happen if I had come on me when crossing without having the script with me....would they charge me or let me produce it? I assume he likely bought it without a script and that was the issue but perhaps showed he has a legit medical need for it.
-
That's pretty sad. Yeah, what did he do with all his money? Then again, there was that $6 billion he offered the cops to let him go one day. Im not sure the booze business is the best place for him!

Magnificent. And actually larger in scope then their initial plans which were only three towers. The condo tower is probably last on the list to be built but if this whole thing comes off as its supposed to, its remarkable. And there will be plenty of incentive for it to live up to expectations. What this should also do is push P&M to up their game, including ditching the barricades and having better street level retail & act ivies. Because when TNS is complete, it becomes the downtown focus and P&M becomes the dated old "yesterday news". I think the plan for the LC would be to close City Place and possible the Ellice one and drive the business here. TN will be happy to clean up the area behind Glasshouse by getting rid of that store.

CTV Winnipeg Published Wednesday, February 24, 2016 11:27AM CST Last Updated Wednesday, February 24, 2016 11:28AM CST Winnipeg’s True North Square site plans were revealed at an announcement on Wednesday morning. It will have four mixed-use towers on site, including retail, office, hotel and residential spaces. True North Sports and Entertainment CEO Mark Chipman calls True North Square "a catalyst of things to come." Photos One section of the site plan for True North Square. The second section of the site plan for True North Square. The plans showed the buildings will have heated underground parking. Some buildings will have floor-to-ceiling windows. Scotiabank will be one of three anchor tenants at True North Square. It will keep their space at Portage and Main but move its offices to the square. Sutton Place hotel, with the spa, will move to towers three and four and Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP will lease the top three floors of tower one at True North Square. Details to come.

Liquor Mart megastore will be one of the features of the future True North Square, the Winnipeg Sun has learned. Multiple sources told the Sun the government-run liquor sales operation will be brought into the fold as one of the feature businesses in the grandiose $400-million development under construction on Carlton Street. True North Sports and Entertainment will hold a 10 a.m. press conference at MTS Centre on Wednesday where they will unveil "the project's partners and lead tenants." Andrea Kowal, a spokeswoman with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, confirmed to the Sun there would be a Liquor Mart in True North Square, but declined to reveal any further details, including what impact it would have on existing locations in Cityplace and on Ellice Avenue. "From what I heard, it will be the largest liquor store in town," a source said. "They're going to bring in some partners and do some different things that they haven't done in other places." Another source said intitial plans indicate the location could be as large as 55,000 sq. ft. True North Square is one of the most audacious developments the city has seen and has had Winnipeggers wondering about its direction since renderings and a video were released last February. Jino Distasio, director of the University of Winnipeg's Institute of Urban Studies, told the Sun last week True North Square has a potential to wow like few other projects before it. "I really think Winnipeggers are embracing the fact that this is a wow factor," Distasio said. "I cannot think of another $400-million project in our downtown, in our city that's been primarily led by the private sector. That's the key part to this." Published reports indicated law firm Thomas Dorfmann Sweatman would be the anchor tenant, while multiple outlets reported Sutton Place Hotels would also have a place. Sutton Place Hotels is owned by hospitality giant Northland Properties, whose president is Tom Gaglardi, the owner of the Dallas Stars. The team was in town Tuesday night for a game against the True North-owned Jets. Northland Properties also operates Sandman Hotel, as well as Moxies and Shark Club, both of which are located near MTS Centre.

Not really. It still costs you money. Don't think the jets are in the business of burning money. -

What's the point of buying out one year -
I don't think wheeler would want to leave over ladd. I'm not sure they are the two closest guys. Buff and ladd have been and buff didn't seem to have a problem moving on without ladd.

Sometimes teams think they know how to fix players. Hopefully someone sees Pavs and thinks it's the jets that are hurting him and not the other way around -
Thing of the Ladds like it here. And have roots here and everything else then it might be a business but you still need to make a decision about your life. Lots of people take less money to work where they want to. I think ladd is pressured a lot by the PA. $36m. Plus his prior earnings. In a middle class city like winnipeg. How much does he need. Is $3-$4m going to make all the difference to him? Yeah it's a lot of money. But love in Vancouver or New York. That will eat that money up and then some. Wheeler saying he couldn't believe this is happening. Well if ladd took what wheeler took or a bit less he'd be here long term

Game 59 : Stars @ The Tanker ... Airport 79
The Unknown Poster replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
It's hard to cheer against the jets when watching also edmonton and Toronto in a race for last. Oilers are pathetic. There should be a penalty for being that bad that long and getting those kinds of picks and still finishing last. Dispicable.
