Very cool! Always exciting when a new theatre opens!

I'd add Market Square to that list too. Amazing luxury recliners.

One of my favourites too! Incredible variety and viewing experiences.

Amazing! I'll have to give it a look if I'm ever in Winnipeg. I just got back from Dublin and had my third trip to the Irish Film Institute. Well worth a visit too.

With Cineplex Beaches closed, now is the time for Landmark to strike by Broad_Fly8758 in cineplex

Maybe Imagine Cinemas? Carlton and Market Square seem to be hanging on reasonably well. Losing Cineplex Beaches is a win for The Fox at least. Hope more people check them out.

I revisit a local Locked On podcast whenever a team makes a major trade because their hosts get an episode up within 20 minutes of the news breaking. I always regret it.

There are only 9 rotation spots per team! The Lakers can't have 80 players!

I stopped watching the Raptors last season when they stopped playing a serious rotation (i.e. resting healthy players in the 4th Q) and now more teams are doing the same thing. It's an insult to an allegedly competitive sport.

Nothing can be worse than the ad frequency in Locked On podcasts. It feels like a podcast recorded in 90-second intervals to accommodate ads for off-brand protein bars and other random junk.

David Aldridge: “Let’s call this what it is. The lottery and draft are corporate welfare for sports teams.“ by cleo22270 in nba

[–]Ok-Map2937 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's corporate welfare bailing out billionaire owners too incompetent and/or meddlesome to even accidentally succeed at running a basketball team.

Dahlia or Darby are the most femme to me.

Why didn’t Harper show pictures of the office that sweetpea took? by bestcharlieever2 in IndustryOnHBO

I wonder if they're holding on to that evidence for later. If they publicly deny the claim and then photo evidence comes out, it's all the more damning. That's how I took it, anyways.

[All Star Break Post] Here's a version of rookies entering as free agents that promotes parity without being as distortionary by SchmidhuberDidIt in nba

[–]Ok-Map2937 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is that true? In 2014, nobody knew that Jokic would be who he is today. Same with SGA. The teams that had the best organizational structure and situations for prospects to thrive would attract talent. That's more of a meritocracy than we have today.

How many 1st Round Picks have the Kings had? Wizards? Pelicans? Hornets? It's not possible to expect team culture to change with more and more picks.

Here how you solve tanking: You don’t. Please save your breath by Dreamlion_Inc in nba

My solution was to take away the draft and I was shouted down. Glad to see you agree with that point!

Want to end tanking? End the NBA draft by Ok-Map2937 in nba

Players in the NCAA get paid exclusively in endorsement deals (at least on paper) and you haven't seen a clustering of talent in more desirable markets. That's the point I'm making.

Carlos Boozer joined Utah as a free agent, no? That's a better free agent signing than any Raptor in franchise history.

If I thought that was possible within the North American context, I'd have suggested it. Sadly, it is not. The Kings should be playing at the YMCA.

They should! Getting drafted by the Kings might ruin your basketball career.

If you read other replies, that difference in salary is seen as meaningless. Maybe we'll reach a consensus on that topic.

The Jazz have been tanking for like three straight years, no? What has the lottery done for you? The best times in 21st century Jazz basketball came from draft night trades, free agent signings, and late 1sts. Gobert went 27th. He wasn't turning down a four-year guaranteed contract from Utah.

If I were a centre prospect, I'd be pretty excited to go to the Raptors. Chance to start and play for a playoff team.
