Saw I Play Rocky at the Vancouver International Film Festival #viff and was pleasantly surprised. The only downside is knowing what Stallone became.

There are only two teams, possibly three, on that list I wouldn’t run away screaming no matter what they offered me.

My first thought upon seeing the headline was, “of course we should check on our seniors”. Another reason why American spelling is just plain wrong. And don’t even get me started on their pronunciations. I visibility cringe every time I hear one of them say ‘Z’ or ‘Foyer’.

The 69ers is an all male strip group that tours the world.

Dundon apparently has stopped going to silent auctions because he gets outbid by everyone.

If I hear another person say they “obsessed” with something, I can’t be responsible for what I will do.

You know what would be really cool? A movie with an original story or, at the very least, from something that hasn’t been made numerous times. I will not be seeing this despite some of Ridley Scott’s movies being among my favourite. All with original screenplays, by the way.

Is he holding out for a trade or more money. Because I don’t think he’s going to get any more money.

Polymarket absolutely is dirty money. When you make your money from harming people, that’s dirty money. That’s why the Trumps are involved in it. And I’ve actually turned down more money to work for a betting company, and I don’t have nearly the $1.4 billion that LeBron does as a buffer.

I’ve criticized the NBA for their relationship with the betting companies many times and I’ve criticized Giannis. You seem more upset at people criticizing LeBron for taking dirty money than LeBron for doing it, which is just weird.

If your argument is bad enough you have to strawman, then that’s a you problem.

Basketball is literally the only sport I’ve followed and I’ve criticized anyone who takes money from betting companies or crypto companies.

I’m not even American, but if you look at my posts, it’s pretty clear where my priorities are. But, apparently unlike you, I don’t turn a blind eye to bad behaviour because I happen to like them.

I completely agree. And you don’t even need to be a working class person living in a working class neighbourhood. Thankfully, I am able to criticize both.

I won’t believe it until I see it.

No one is asking you to hate LeBron, but when you’re already a billionaire, shilling for a betting company, that is literally destroying people’s lives, you should be criticized, whether or not you used a small part of that $1.4 billion to help some kids.

Policing what people should and shouldn’t comment on also leads to negative conversations. Crazy how that happens.

I left one short comment. Didn’t take much time. What’s taken far more time is you trying convince me I was wrong to do it. May pay more attention to what you’re doing than to what others are doing.

Perhaps you might find a better use of your time than to police what other people may or may not comment on.

I commented because I was genuinely surprised anyone would be looking forward to it. I figured other people were as sick of these CGI-fests as I am.

I was simply asking a question. Didn’t mean to offend you.

Are people really anticipating this? I couldn’t care less about the Godzilla movies anymore.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

Musk has already condemned it, so what do you think?

Texas Republicans might be some of the stupidest and most ignorant people in the world. You’d have to be to vote for Ken Paxton, no matter what excuse you use. He’s possibly the most corrupt and uncaring politician in the history of America. And that’s saying a whole lot.

Is this why he’s trying to come back? Publicity for his movie?

Bad news for Raptor fans here. Jakob Poeltl doesn’t even make it onto this list.

This is what happens when you surround yourself with sycophants and yes-men. No one to tell him what a stupendously stupid idea this is.

I was disappointed to learn I was not on the short list. Apparently you have to write a book to be on it. Seems rather elitist to me.

…these players to get as much as possible they don’t think of the consequences. Even the lower paid players leaving good situations where they excelled in order to get, say, a 4 yr $50 million over a 4 year $40 million. It’s more money than you’d ever need either way.

Tim W @timwearing.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I’ve never understood this desire by star NBA players to get as much money as they possibly can while also knowing it will limit how much the team will be able to improve in the future. There would be zero difference in lifestyle between $150 million and $200 million but it’s so ingrained in…

I have not liked Shaq since the 90s and the more I hear him speak and see his actions, the less I like him. And I didn’t even know about most of this until now. youtube.com/shorts/Q7pn0nU8wWs?si=O…

Do you seriously expect LeBron James to survive solely on the $1.4 billion he’s made so far???

Michael Porter Jr has proven to have quite a few bizarre and questionable opinions.

Someone really needs to ask her why the US is trying to dictate who Canada can have closer ties with, especially considering Europe is supposedly an ally for the US, as well. What is the reason Canada shouldn’t?

Those bittersweet milestones will only continue. Our oldest just moved out of our basement suite she’s been living in for four years to move across the country and, let me tell you, it was a gut punch emotionally. And our youngest is currently traipsing across Europe. 😢

I can’t help but notice there was nothing about political leaning. My guess is that would be the biggest indicator.

The Nuggets seem to have entered the dangerous stage of any franchise with a superstar. The gambling stage in order to stay competitive, going after players with high potential but haven’t been able to fit in elsewhere, because they’ve run out of other options. Most recently seen in Milwaukee.

Considering how he’s been able to play such shockingly different types of roles and been great in all of them, I would not be the least bit surprised if he stars in an action movie at some point, even at his age.

Perhaps this is what happens when you pump yourself full of TRT and steroids. And what is it with Sheridan’s insistence on appearing as super-heroic and wise characters who come in and save the day? It’s almost laughably transparent.

Tim W @timwearing.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
That’s something I’ve been wondering about lately. What do the actors think about all this? Many of them are big name actors, so it’s not as if they are desperate for the work. It’s made me lose respect for many of them.

He’s gone WAY out his way to try and lecture his audience about the dangers of renewable energy, universities, the media and even gender identity (in a series about the CIA??) on his series, so much so that it becomes more and more awkward in its presentation. I’ve had enough of his shows.

Tim W @timwearing.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
I couldn’t believe that turn. This season has made it incredibly clear what the political leaning of Taylor Sheridan are, if we didn’t know already. He’s trashed both universities and the media as untrustworthy at best and subversive at worst. And blaming Ukraine was the worst.

This is the utter arrogance of billionaires. He knows he broke the rules. We know he broke rules. But he has spent his life getting away with it so he’s offended when, for once, there are actual control his actions.

Have they done any studies about how much money they’ve wasted on pointless studies that had obvious outcomes on?
