That sucks, but getting to see it in some form at home tonight is still a pretty nice consolation prize.

Yup! Just watched it. Still frikkin' awesome!

 

[terp_fan99]

Are the tickets hard to get? I literally know nothing about getting tickets for cons, other than its a nightmare to try to get them for SDCC. I hope all cons are not like that.



You bastard! You're probably watching it right now as I type this.

Usually no, the Denver ones have been on sale for a few months now and you can still get any ticket you'd like, same goes for Salt Lake. The Seattle three day passes actually sold out in 24 hours this year though.

Man, will Tuesday hurry up and get here so I can watch it already!

Wow! Thats fast.

How about a little more salt in the wound. Watched it again today, TWICE!

LOL!

Also, I'm finally finished with ep7 of Daredevil. This is a damn good show!

It is a damn good show. I think there is even more to love about this season than the first one.

I really, really hope I don't jinx myself by saying this and cause a delay, but according to my tracking number my TFA Blu-Ray should be here on Monday.

So, you'll have yours before me is what you're saying! LOL! Yeah, that used to happen to me when I ordered from DVD Empire. Always got'em on Monday.

It's really good man. That hall scene in season 1 though where he rescues the kid. Still my favorite DD moment.

I second that you suck! Ha ha. I was looking for something to watch last night, but couldn't decide on anything. Then I tried renting The Hateful Eight today, but it was out. I need something to watch!

Did I really hear that Disney hired Snyder to do a standalone Star Wars film? I was hoping that was just an April Fool's joke.

Did you think the stairwell fight scene was on par with that? There's another cool fight scene you haven't gotten to yet so I won't say anything else.

By the way, I see why you said this was a little overpriced. It's cool, but definitely should have been less.

There have really only been a handful of times where I've gotten movies before the release date, but when it comes to SW even one day makes me a happy camper LOL.

The hall scene will definitely go down as one of the all-time greatest fight scenes ever, but there are a couple really good ones in Season 2 also.

Nice pickup! Congrats! The orange seems to really pop on him.

I didn't hear anything about Snyder doing a SW movies so that must have been an April fool's joke. And IGN did one too yesterday by teasing a fake live action Darth Maul Netflix series. Damn you IGN! Thats something I would have really loved to seen.

Congrats man! It is a great statue despite it being over priced. The helmet is my favorite part of it. Very well done.

I did like that scene and thought it was close to the hallway scene. That's how good the hallway scene is though because I was on my feet yelling, "Kick their ass" at the TV during the stairwell scene, LOL! I'm kinda couchridden today, so I'll be able to get a couple more episodes in.

I'd love to see Snyder do a SW movie, but it has to be a joke. He's way to busy with WB and DC right now. It'd be like saying Joss was doing one when we know he's busy with Marvel. TBH though, I don't want Joss anywhere near SW though.

Those bastards!!!! There's joking, and then there's taking things too damn far! LOL! Man, how cool that would be though! They probably did that because the f'ing internet thinks Snyder made a bad BvS movie, and they want to be the big wooden spoon in a pot of crap. The fact is, Snyder made a successful movie. BvS has already passed, in less than 2 weeks, what MOS made and that was in theaters for 3 1/2 months. The Internet can say what they want, but Snyder made a successful movie, period!

Yeah, that hallway fight scene is my goto when I show newbies how good the show is. That usually does it.

Made this video for a fellow Youtuber, but thought you might like it, terp, LOL!

Youtube description:

Hadn't planned on doing deadlifts or squats yesterday, but since THR keeps busting my balls about it, LOL! Didn't go extremely heavy as I had done leg work (sprints) the day before and lightly strained my left hamstring. This was alot harder to do than I thought it would be after I pre- fatigued my legs well. Squats took everything I had which was nothing because I had nothing left in the tank.

Thanks! I saw that Netflix SW April Fool's trailer. Pretty elaborate trick! So did you get your copy of Star Wars today?

Ha, I yelled at the TV during the stairwell fight scene too. Except I said "What beats a hallway fight scene, stairwell fight scene!"

Nice! I love that your light day would be my heavy day. I got 315 for six reps on squats the other day and that was good for me. I wish my gym had one of those deadlift bars. I very recently started doing deadlifts and my shins take a beating if I accidentally wear shorts instead of pants that day.

After seeing how much effort IGN put into that fake Maul TV spot, I can't even tell you guys how disappointed I am that its not happening. I mean that spot showed, to me at least, that the show really would have been awesome and totally could have worked. Those damn bastards!!!

Well for me, I'd rather have Joss than Snyder doing SW, but I don't think either will be doing anything SW related, so I think we are all good there lol.

And yup, I got my TFA Blu-Ray in the mail about 10 minutes ago

.

I know what I'm watching tonight lol.

Nice! I love that cover! Can't wait to get mine.

I hope you get to watch yours right when you get back from your trip. Did you order the Best Buy steelbook? Its also got a really awesome shot of Phasma on the back.

Yes sir I did. I'm thinking about ordering the Deadpool steelbook too, the picture on the inside cracks me up.

That pic is awesome, I just ordered it. I ordered BvS right away too. I was going to get them regardless anyways so I figured why not.

I very recently started doing deadlifts and my shins take a beating if I accidentally wear shorts instead of pants that day.

LOL! Well, It started off as a mild/ moderate day, but I was feeling good right up until my last deadlift set. I should have been taking longer rests than 60 seconds to a minute and a half for recovery once I started going over 225, but at that point I just wanted to get through the rest of the workout. 315 has never been so difficult, LOL! If I start out with squats (after 10 mins on the stairmaster) I can knock out 315 for 8-12 reps depending on my rest time. I tell you what though, once I get to 405, it's like my body just doesn't want to do the weight no matter how long my rest is. I can get it if I go just about parallel, but if I go any lower, I'm done! I'm pretty much at the end of doing these though. I feel that the machines I use give me better results, and there's less risk of hurting myself. That deadlift bar is awesome BTW. It's heavier than a regular bar (60lbs rather than 45) but the handles are far easier to hold on to than having the bar in front of you. And, yeah, no skinned shins, LOL!

Never got to watch another episode of DD unfortunately. Watched some TFA again. About to eat some pizza and the next episode though.

LMK how it sounds man.

Yeah, I'm sorry dude. Don't mean to trash Joss, I just don't like him. Probably the same way you guys don't like Snyder, LOL! It's all good though, I do like what Joss has done with the Avenger movies.

Okay just watched it. First impression is that it is one gorgeous blu ray. Out of the previous 6 SW blu ray movies, I would have said that ROTS was the best looking one, and I could have even made an argument that it was the best looking blu I had ever seen. To me, this matched it. The sound was also very good, and it was dynamic. I think you'll love it! But I do think some of the other SW movies did have a slightly better mix. I do hope we get an Atmos mix someday.

I honestly don't have really much of opinion of Joss lol. I liked his Avengers movies, especially the first one, but I've never been a Buffy fan, and I've never even seen Firefly. Its just that Snyder's style wouldn't be my pick for SW. I don't mean to trash the guy at all, he's actually from Green Bay, so its really cool to have someone from my state out there directing hollywood blockbusters.
