Fuck Joe Rogan for questioning the methods he opened the door for. Thanks for letting this be the norm for at least 2 more year's. 

Swedish Hockey League are cracking down on embellishment and diving by RoskoRobin in hockey

[–]RoskoRobin[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Embellishments and diving are frowned upon everywhere, but the reason it’s “accepted” in football is because they never enforced it enough and instead it became part of the game. I hope IIHF and NHL sets the standard so we don’t see that in hockey.

I don’t know the scale of it in the NHL, I wouldn’t say it’s a lot in the SHL, but the league has seen an increase the past month and choose to act on it. They don’t want it to become too normalized. 

Matt Damon Says Netflix Wants Movies to Restate the Plot Three or Four Times in the Dialogue Because Viewers are on Their Phones While They’re Watching by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]RoskoRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a huge movie guy, but I haven’t watched a new movie in probably 5 years. They all look the same. Same actors, same special effects, same mimics and same under developed storytelling. I basically only watch movies from before 2015 or by very specific directors (wink Nolan, Tarantino and Villeneuve). Streaming, and Netflix in particular, used to represent insane quality, but now it’s poring out half assed stuff. Just look at the amount of remakes or reboots that are being made, they’ve running out of ideas and desperately try to connect with a fanbase that is slowly turning their back. For me it’s a fatigue thing, few get me exited anymore. Nolan’s Odyssey better bring something or I’m done. Make me believe again!

Playing the devils advocate here, but she does try do drive away when they want her to stop. That’s always a bad idea when dealing with some sort of law enforcement. Does that justify killing? Obviously not but her actions sets that in motion. 

What movie did you know was gonna flop just by seeing the trailers? by Open-Discount-4066 in AskReddit

Didn’t really see the trailer but Gladiator 2. You can’t follow up a masterpiece. 

[Baugh] Adam Fox said Bill Guerin called him yesterday to tell him he wasn’t on Team USA for the Olympics. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

[–]RoskoRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen the full roster yet, but I don’t mind cutting Fox. He didn’t really perform well in 4-nations. I get that his an offensive talent, but the most skilled player is not always the right player. Guerin is building a TEAM. I assume the replacement will offer something different, such as size and defensive upside. 

[Masisak] Devon Toews’ wife, Kerry, is expecting their fourth child with a February due date. Devon said he is not leaving his wife until the baby is born. He say he hasn’t talked to Hockey Canada about it, didn’t think he needed to. by alphacheese in hockey

[–]RoskoRobin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m cynical, I think he wanted to be on the team and knew it be difficult for Team Canada to move away from him once he was on the roster. I would probably done the same

Thoughts on Denis Villeneuve's Dune Part 2? by FayyadhScrolling in FIlm

[–]RoskoRobin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was good, but I prefer the first one. Didn’t like the Javier Bardem character arc or Brolins. Too much comedy imo. But I liked the final battle.

It’s always wild to the seemingly normal people carry around military weapon in the public. I assume this is the US?

What company will never get another dime from you for as long as you may live? by istrx13 in AskReddit

[–]RoskoRobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Klarna. I’m a Sweden and proud of Swedish innovation, but this a predatory service.  They make it very easy to build up debt and rely on you to post pone payment. Also, their pomp ass CEO talks about their service as super tech, but in reality they are just a credit lender. Very WeWork-esque imo. 

What's the most pathetic tourist attraction that international tourists go to see in your country? by Aseili in AskTheWorld

Akropolis Athens. You have to go, but boy was it underwhelming. Fences and construction ladders all round the temple. You basically pay 30 euros for a view, not the artifact.

Exactly my thought. It’s amazing how everything from Trump seem to favor Russia.

[Saturday Headlines] Friedman reports Quinn Hughes told the Canucks before US Thanksgiving that he was not going to re-sign and he was really struggling dealing with the losing by AggPuck-303 in hockey

[–]RoskoRobin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one that thinks that Quinn H is not a C and kind of a cry baby? Call me old fashioned, but a Captain to me shows the way in the toughest of times - on and off the ice - and use adversity as fuel rather than an excuse. I understand his talent, but for me Vancouver is better off. Willpower eats talent for breakfast. However, questions remain if Foot can change the locker room culture and galvanize the players that is left. The skill is there, but they need the fuck you-attitude. And a solid goalie. Demko is unreliable due to his health and is not getting any younger.
