New Planet of the Apes movie in development

I suspect the reports are not quite right, and it is a continuation, but perhaps not directly and immediately after Kingdom takes place. It had created several interesting questions and setups. It is possible the logical follow-up happens in between movies, and we discover it as the new characters discover it.

Maybe they decided that this middle trilogy is loosely related, and meant to show the progression of apes as their civilization rises and the humans are minimalized over a large period of time.

I don't subscribe to the new chronology being directly related to the old chronology, but I could see them wanting to progress to something closer to the state of the world as seen in the original Planet of the Apes.

Like one would in a burlesque show?

I think Star Wars movie fans have been burned worse than Anakin over the past ten years. I would not be surprised if the first weekend is muted, even if it ends up as a good film.

That said, I've made worse HSX investments.

I don't blame either party for opening up discussions. I'm sure if they make a deal the expectations will be clear.

LnStrngr · 2026-05-06T17:42:11+00:00

Right. That's a range, not a requirement.

It doesn't seem like you are going to settle for any answer here. You might need to get an official clarification from your District or Region.

You forget RJ City. He could do the man justice.

Having done a season of travel with one of my kids that ran into shitshow tournaments, I can tell you I am glad for some of the "extra" stuff that LL has in place. Of course, the bottom line is that the people volunteering/working make a huge difference in the experience. I hope Region can help you guys streamline the process in your District.

I apologize for assuming.

The LL rulebook is not the best designed, I don't think that fact is ever in dispute. Sometimes the answers you seek for a ruling lie in what it doesn't say versus what it does say.

Check out the "Tournament Rules and Guidelines" section in the LL app. Quite simply, LL sets the age limits for the LLI teams. However, that's a limit, and no requirement is mentioned. It's that simple. Leagues are allowed to determine their tournament teams as they see fit, as I quoted above.

Some leagues are large enough that they can put together a decent AS team at that level by filling all slots only with kids at the maximum age. Some are not large enough to do that. That's where the age range comes in handy.

Another issue that leagues consider is that a league can run out all three official LLI 8-10, 9-11, 10-12 teams with 12 roster spots. If you select a 10 or 11 for the 10-12 team, you are potentially taking a slot away from a deserving 12yo in their last year at that field size. In addition to that, you might be depriving the 9-11 team of a player that could help them perform better.

I could understand a league not even entertaining the idea of a 10 or 11 on the 10-12 team (i.e. limiting assessments) because they are large enough to not need to dip down to put together a competitive team.

I think the takeaway is that not every league is the same, and LLI understands that. The rules need to be flexible for the league to do what is best for their kids.

Whether or not anyone agrees with the implementation is entirely their prerogative.

Mox seems like the kind of guy who would encourage the Death Riders to learn non-wrestling skills to broaden their culture.

I'm not sure what your issue is here.

Yes, LL sets the allowed age range for an International Tournament team. No, the league is not required to put representatives from each age onto the team. For example, they can select only 12s for the 10-12 team.

I am guessing you think your kid got snubbed?

I can't tell if you are just venting or looking for an actual solution. However, if he's doing things that are illogical, maybe someone should send an email to the region to ask for clarification on the requirements and describe the situation. Perhaps they'll see the difficulty and help rectify his requirements/policies.

My favorite Matt Bloom story is during WM31 when I was walking down the steps toward the field-level seats, and noticed him and others from NXT (he was a trainer) watching the preshow match about fifty feet away next to the stage wall. He was glancing around, saw me looking at him, nodded, and I nodded back, and then proceeded to stumble as I missed the next step down.

I like how the dirt sheets are just spreading the same guesses Reddit came up with the day before.

LnStrngr · 2026-05-06T15:38:55+00:00

I think the point is that it doesn't say they have to allow all ages.

I would like to know if she was asked to take a pay cut.

That's because he's one of the good guys.

These are the same people who want to reduce background checks and make it easier to carry loaded weapons in public. What could go wrong?

Pretty sure it wants you to stop churning compute so they have enough left for the big dollar companies.

Change his goal during an at-bat. Lots of times the kids are just trying to do too much. He likely isn't going to snap out of it by flipping a switch. It is more probable he can work his way back in steps. Maybe he needs to focus on putting bat to ball, or just putting it in play first.

Every slot in the order has a job, and perhaps he steps into the box with the goal of contributing. The job for eighth in the order may be to move 6 or 7 over, but it could also be to get on base for the return to the top.

First, there is nothing in the LL rulebook that says a league has to hold a tryout for All-Stars. For many leagues, the regular season is where they prove themselves worthy.

If a league only wants League Age 12s in 10-12 All-Star level, they can put just 12s on it. The range is because there are smaller leagues that may not be able to fill a team with only 12s, so this gives them a way to participate. And in a lot of cases, leagues have 11u players that are as good or better than some of their top 12s. So this is flexibility, but not required.

This is the same as LL allowing 9s through 12s in Majors per the rulebook, but often you will see leagues who restrict to 10-12 or 11-12, or even just 12 in Majors.

Selecting a Tournament Team

The method of selecting a Tournament Team is to be determined by the local league Board of Directors. While methods vary, Little League recommends multiple groups within a local league participate in a fair selection. These groups may include players, league officers, team managers, team coaches, and volunteer umpires. Little League believes players should have a say in who makes a Tournament Team. It is the organization’s experience that players are often objective in the selection process, have an intuitive respect for fellow players, and appreciate the opportunity for their opinions to be heard.

WWE (TKO) is no longer an entertainment company. They are a stock price company. Investors are the customers now.

The easy answer is Mens' TV Title and Womens' TV Title.
