As an insider, do you know why the effects in Snyders Justice League are so bad? Nah, not really. I know Weta Digi did some aspects of it (from memory they did the historic battle scenes when the invaders were defeated) but most was done elsewhere. I suspect it's a combination of Snyder having some...

Watched Eric Andre's Bad Trip because there's absolutely nothing else new. It's funny if you're drunk. Re-watched BladeRunner 2049 in 4K, what a movie, just gets better with time. I really like that Blade Runner film but I was working at Weta Digi when it won Best Visual Effects over the third Apes...

I think the Europeans are going to win some in the near future, France has gotten pretty damn close a few times. England will got hot once, maybe the Welsh (or Argies if we're looking beyond Europe) get a South African-esque cakewalk... Kind of a side matter, but why are the pools feel like they're...

Also, Richie McCaw never had frosted tips.

Point of order - he doesn't have a comb over. A comb over is when someone grows the non thinning hair on the side long enough to cover the bald patch on the top. See Bobby Charlton for reference. https://img.bleacherreport.net/img/article/media_slots/photos/002/270/518/b12e1fd59da0f99fc6f3a1ff5185d7...

My brothers and I have 3 British grandparents, and he told me in the '80s that he'd tried to apply for a British passport and been told he was ineligible. I can't say any more than that since I've never tried myself, nor even visited Britain for that matter. Anyway we're about as white as it gets. ...

Look, it seems pretty likely that the vast majority of modern sports people are doping. But pointing fingers at particular individuals without any specific evidence to back it up seems like a pretty silly thing to do. Might not be the smartest look for this forum to be hosting such comments either....

Doull wasn't in the same class as Steyn, but I have it on good authority he was top of his class in high school science.

I mean it’s not gonna have been in India obviously, but it was still a decent bowling performance. Doull wasn’t an all time great but not a bum either. Bit of a tool though.

Jay Cee Gee

Has this bloke got some form for being a prick? Did he give batters send offs before he ran them out or things like that? Nah. He never got them out. His sledging was along the lines of "you only hit that one into the 10th row back, a real batsman would have smashed it into the Upper Tier" Career a...

Doull is a tool, but Steyn is overreacting to a nothing comment.

You loved it really.

Dedoc, since you read all this up, how many both won and lost a final? There must have been some double up on the England '03 and '07 teams, and I see you have Leonard on this list who came off the benc in '03. Fitzpatrick did. Probably the only one for NZ though. A decent amount of Wallabies would...

Ok, my attempt at best - judged as how dominant were they relative to their peers and expectation of the position at the time Os, Fitz, Vickery Johnson, Eales PS du Toit, McCaw, Buck Joost, Carter Horan, Smith Campese, Kirwan, Gallagher Honourable mentions - Olo Brown, Thorn and Etzebeth as tight l...

In the film "The Usual Suspects", Kevin Spacey plays the character of Keyser Soze but all the other characters refer to him by a different name. Can't believe the editors missed that blunder. Similarly, in "The Sixth Sense", Bruce Willis is a ghost but never once says "WOOOOOOOOO" and doesn't wear a...

Round and round we go.

So the point of these sorts of laws/policies is to make it some other country's problem, like I said.

So why don't they do it to anyone without dual citizenship?

Just a question re Scott Morrison revoking this womans citizenship. Would he have done it if she was a born and bred Australian citizen or is it just because she originated from NZ and later became an Australian citizen and has dual citizenship that he can exercise this option?

As far as the matter itself, it just seems like a bit of politicking from Jacinda. The Australian policy is pretty clear, there is no reason to make exceptions. The woman left Australia in 2014, and conceived her children in Syria and is now in a Turkish jail cell. While it is terrible for the chil...

It's kind of a Prisoner's Dilemma played in reality. Should have expected the prisoner with multiple prior convictions who was also descended from convict stock would take the selfish way out, I guess.

I mean, she's not wrong on this one.

I suspect Australians have jumped on this thread because the humiliation of the LA Olympics is still raw. NZ doubled Australia's gold medal tally that time, the difference being NZ's 4 gold medals in canoeing. Yep I'm sure all these Aussie posters are chiming in due to the success of Ian Ferguson a...

A number of these tries should also have been disallowed, clearly. A lot of jumping for the line to avoid tackles from the 4th one on. https://youtu.be/jbzpJTdsgsA Obviously none of them were high profile enough to warrant that kind of outrage and attention May's try is getting. Thats probably the ...

There was no one to jump over when he jumped.

So why did he jump?

what are you going to ban next - sidesteps in case the tackler positions the head poorly?

Is there a law preventing tackling sidesteppers?

What's interesting is Joe Harris is still getting double digit FGAs and >30 minutes a night as well. Apparently there's also buzz Redick might get traded to the Nets.

I think he's just getting played a lot less cause they suck on defence already and he's not gonna help that at all.

Yes, with a caveat. Once fertilised, hatched, fully grown and then slaughtered, eggs are the best.

Definitely a bit quicker than NMS though. You'd imagine he'd be on the wing to make the transition easier.
