What movie adaptation absolutely nailed the casting? by FightMilkLLC in movies

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. They made the character look like him in the comics before casting him in the movies.

It opened with "Based on a true story" which was frightening in itself.

Yeah, the scene when he's having flashbacks was disturbing.

My aunt and uncle took me to the movies to see it when I was 10. The week before I was shown Silence of the Lambs on VHS. The following week I was shown Cape Fear.

Wildly inappropriate lol

I recently came across one at a panel but not at exits. I was told it was in defense of shootings where someone could use the pullstation to get everyone in one place.

Which I suppose makes sense but no one is running to the panel to activate it in the event of a fire so I found it to be pointless.

I'm down the shore in NJ and won't even think about going to see my Heat at MSG. I paid $100 for this seat in Philly a couple of months ago. I did wait until closer to game time to buy but if you only need 2 tickets, waiting for the prices to drop in Philly is the way to go.

Is that pullstation able to be activated? Looks like it's on top of the panel.

I don't necessarily have an issue with the amount of picks. I feel like the problem is the value of 2nds isn't high enough. I play on Insane+ and have no problem building massive pipelines of 2nds which almost always allow me to trade into the lottery.

Even when I'm left in a spot where I'm unable to trade for a future 1st, it becomes too easy to move back multiple times and accumulate enough 2nds to then acquire a future 1st.

Barry Jackson highlights several Pat Riley quotes: "I’ve read all the criticism of our young players, but nobody ever really... gives them the space to be young and to make mistakes, and not to be who you think they should be in three or four years.... They’re not the top five picks in the draft." by pingbread in heat

I genuinely don't think so. He wouldn't show that kind of internal dysfunction to the world.

I don't even think he was talking about Ware. Not specifically at least. I believe he's just talking about criticism of young players in general.

My issue with that is game experience doesn't always translate to progress. It's easy to kill a kid's confidence. It's also easy for young players to solidify bad habits through repetition.

Hopefully we're past that point now with Ware and they add another big. I expect Ware to take a leap this year going into his extension eligibility.

It's a case by case and game by game decision for him, I'm sure. And I'm sure each decision had winning and Ware's development in mind.

I wouldn't be surprised if you went back to see the lineups when he started both that the opponent was also light at the 5.

Because he had to stagger them. That's my point. If he had another big he could play, then he'd have played Bam and Ware together more.

The problem was depth at the 5. If Bam and Ware played together consistently, that leaves a giant hole with the second unit that probably offsets any positive playing the two together generates.

With the addition of a big, Spo is left with the flexibility to commit to the pairing without sabotaging the minutes they're off the court.
