  1. Maybe it is just me but the casting of the small slight looking kids for the roles of Superman's kids bugs me.  Maybe it is that way in some comic I am unaware of but I find it hard to believe with the  genetics involved they would be so tiny in comparison to Superman.  I don't know why it bugs but it does.

    I am 6'3" and my ex was same height as Bitsie.  My son is over 6ft and my daughter is 5'11".  My dad was 6'5" and my brother is 6'2" I know genetics are weird and don't always translate but with Kryptonian genetics you would think the kids would be bigger. Not just in height but frame. 

    I still enjoy the performances but the eye test takes me out sometimes.

  2. I heard about the rumors of them hooking up after Season 2 before this Season even filmed and coinciding with her removal of all signs of her husband from social media and reports from the filming of this season as well, I think they were clearly hooking up. MJ was divorced or single at the time but she was not at least not when it began.

    This is nothing new for Jonna, she has cheated before and it was mentioned in multiple shows she was on previously.  No shade, just a fact that she is a repeat cheater.  

    Her and hubby are back together though now though.  Hopefully it works out for them for the sake of them both and their kids.

  3. She still beat Jonna in a final time wise.  Puzzles are definitely an equalizer but people who are not elite at puzzles have still won before.  Especially when we know part of the finals will be paired and getting the right partner to help with a puzzle makes up for it. 

    Put it this way Aneesa is pretty much elite at most puzzles. Who would you bet on winning a final? Kelly Anne or Aneesa?

  4. They don't have heights over water in the finals. That is the threat. Anyone who has elite endurance which both do is a threat in a final. Kelly Anne beat Jonna in the original All-Stars final I think ( I know they tied points wise but Kelly Anne crossed first) and then Jonna won the next one.  So she is at least as good as Jonna who is considered the front runner for the women.

  5. I don't care about anyone on this cast and I cannot stand Turbo, still refuse to watch WOTW1 final due to him winning.  Depending on how spoilers go, I may not even watch this one.  Be the first one I have not watched since the very first Road Rules: All Stars Challenge 20+ years ago.

  6. Nia said on a recent podcast that she would not have agreed to do the show if Jordan was not on.  She said they both have grown so much over the years and become so close that she hated that he has lost opportunities due to social media posting stuff out of context that he said or did years ago that he has learned and grown from.

    Who knows if that is true as Nia has been known to stretch the truth before but they are clearly close now and I do believe that she was done with the show unless Jordan could be with her.

    He may very well have said the same thing. The only thing I do know is Jordan has said he will not do any season that Tori Deal is on.

     

  7. Cancelled in the CW purge.  Bummed. This and Legend of Tomorrow were 2 of the 3 shows I still watched on this channel. Other being Lois & Superman.  

    I know this show doesn't get a lot of interaction here but I will miss it and I personally enjoyed it even when it wasn't that great. I still liked watching it.

  8. Casting has been a big issue for production with a lot of the OGs. The original pitch was like 2 weeks in a relaxed environment.  However COVID and other issues means it take at least 3 weeks to film now I believe and maybe longer with quarantines and other issues.  Even though they are getting paid pretty good money, some want insane money equal to what some of the vets on the regular challenge get which will never happen.  Also with jobs and families, so many of the OGs cannot take that much time with almost no contact with their home for that long. Also they are basically doing the same types of challenges and eliminations as the main show and there have been multiple injuries to cast members.  I don't know how many people in their 40s and up want to deal with that risk. Especially if you have a real full time job and young kids at home.  

    I believe social media engagement went up once the newer cast members were brought in for AS3 and they pay attention to that stuff.  People like Kailah have more impact on social media due to the amount of followers they have compared to most of the OG cast. 

    So if another season is done which has not been announced yet, i would expect more and more of the newer cast even ones who aren't on the main show anymore and maybe some who are. Wes, Jordan, Darrell, Anessa, etc are all still getting calls for the main show too.

    Bananas was supposed to be on this season of AS3 but had to bail last minute due to scheduling with his other show I believe.

  9. Bird was who Magic compared himself to and vice versa.  For all of Bird's well documented surliness both on and off the court, if you were his friend, you had that friendship for life. I hope when they get to it they show them becoming friends during the converse commercial as well as Larry being the first player to call him after hearing about his diagnosis and how they were both basically in tears talking about it.  Most of Magic's teammates wouldn't even talk to him after.  

    Even though Bird played another year after Magic retired, he admitted he lost his desire to compete at the same level as before.  As was stated above, they used to check the box scores every night after the other played. Once Magic retired, Bird stopped checking. He just didn't care about it anymore.

     

  10. I much preferred Iron Fist to this show so far and actually liked it more than Daredevil or Punisher which I have yet to even finish as I found them so boring and uninteresting.  I also think Thor: Ragnarok is by far the best of the Thor movies and is in the upper echelon of all the MCU so far.  

    Obviously YMMV.

  11. This show has a few decent moments sprinkled throughout each episode, but so far this show is a complete bore to me. I have yet to finish an episode in one sitting and I am basically just watching out of completeness sake and if it may be related to the larger MCU.

    First fail in the MCU TV series for me personally and 2nd overall in the MCU behind Eternals.  No fault of the actors involved but the story is just not engaging or coherent to me at all.  I just don't care about anyone in the show.  Maybe once I see all episodes I will like it better overall which has happened before.  Sometimes these shows are just better binged as one long "movie".

     

  12. I also enjoyed this. Not as good as Free Guy but still a very good Netflix movie and a fun time.

    Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds are 2 for 2 in my book.  Hoping they can make it a three-peat with DP 3!

  13. Ingley, according to Rolling Stone, then took the tape to Louis “Butchie” Peraino, who had connections to a prominent New York mob family. Peraino lent Ingley $50,000 to make more copies of the tape and sell them online. Peraino was to receive interest on the loan and a percentage from the sales.

    Ingley then copied the tapes and hired someone to build the websites as Gauthier took charge of shipments. While Gauthier was running the tape around L.A., Ingley went to New York and splurged with Peraino’s money— “$500 bottles of champagne, hookers every night, a room at the Plaza and lots of cocaine,” Rolling Stone reported.

    As news of the tape spread, a biker gang would periodically pay a visit to Ingley’s studio, looking for the tape. (It’s unclear who hired them, though some believe it was Lee.) With pressure also coming from Peraino, Ingley left for the Netherlands. As copycat videos began to surface and profits slowed, Ingley was forced to sell his studio and cease shipments of the tape. While Ingley was able to pay Peraino back the loan, he still owed his financer interest. Knowing Peraino had cancer and hoping he would soon die and take the debts with him, Ingley decided to stay in Europe. Gauthier was forced to work the debt off, serving as one of the mob’s collectors as Ingley escaped retribution.

    Where is Milton Ingley Now?


    After Peraino died in 1999, Ingley returned to California, where he moved in with his daughter. According to Rolling Stone, Ingley stayed with his daughter until his death in 2006.

  14. I thought I had missed an episode when they started talking about gods and stuff.  They hadnt really established that before had they? I felt lost for a bit due to the sudden shift.  Liked it once I got into it though.

  15. What is funny is at this point Tommy was sick of hair metal and wanted to move on to more hip hop related stuff which he ended up doing a few years later with Methods of Mayhem.  He did not want to work on the album they are working on referenced in the movie (Generation Swine) from what I recall.  He didn't want Vince back in the band and wanted to move on but the label and rest of the band wanted to try reforming with Vince.  The timeline is off as at the reunion didn't occur until 1997 and they were still working with John Corabi in the studio in 1996 I think.  He left after this album for a a few years.

  16. I do think that Tommy was the love of her life but that could just be due to media perception. She admitted later they kept hooking up for years after they separated and divorced.  Kinda puts the whole Kid Rock and Tommy Lee fight in more perspective as it likely was not just about some new guy with your ex, but an ex you had been secretly still sleeping with off and on for years.  They even tried to reconcile after she broke up with Kid Rock.

    Of course she also has a long history of going back to exes so I think she just falls in love easily (she has a lot of trauma in her past which can lead to this type of stuff), overlooks bad behaviors in men until she can no longer, breaks up, then misses the good times with that person and conveniently ignores the bad times for a while. So she gets back with them until the bad behavior comes back.

    Rinse repeat.  Pam loves herself a bad boy and the excitement that goes along with it until that bad boy directs their badness at her too much and she runs away. Only to go back later.

  17. Yeah they definitely hired people who were shorter and used camera angles to make him appear even bigger. However some shots will make the height differences appear smaller just like they can look bigger.

    At the premiere you can see the heights of the main cast.  Willa is in pretty high heels.  Looks like Alan is wearing boots that have a heel as well.

  18. There is almost no one outside of professional wrestlers and athletes that are book Reacher's size. Even the ones who do act successfully are not his size.  John Cena, The Rock, Dave Bautista are all smaller in real life than book Reacher as a few examples.
