  1. I agree. Tony Stark fits RDJ like a well-tailored suit. I'll go further and mention all the other excellent casting choices for the MCU. Chris Evans as Captain America Chris Hemsworth as Thor Tom Hiddleston as Loki Tom Holland as Peter Parker Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanov/Black Widow Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange IMO these actors really stood out and made the characters their own to the point where it's impossible to not see their faces when thinking about their hero counter-parts. I understand not all MCU movies were created equal. Some where duds, but you can't deny that MCU pretty much hit on every casting choice. On the other hand, the one casting choice that sticks out out being pretty "meh" is Elizabeth Olson as Scarlett Witch. Pretty uninspiring performance, IMO.
  2. It's still unfathomable to me how groups like the KKK and other Neo-Nazi white supremacy groups are allowed to have some political influence and allowed to assemble. You would think that after politically motivated murders in the 20's and 60's would rightfully name them a terrorist organization and be outlawed, but here they are in 2018 and pushing for mainstream exposure. Imagine if someone had the balls start a pro-ISIS party in the US, would that even be able to be formed, even under the notion of "free speech"? Dare I say the phrase, "white privilege"?
  3. Wow. And what exactly does he plan on doing with that many rounds?
  4. Also, anybody who is buying ammunition by the thousands needs to be monitored by the FBI/Police.
  5. This solution may be a little more out there, but I think they should just start making guns with computer chips in them. Schools, malls, theaters, etc would have a detection system that alerts if there is a a gun within 50 yards or whatever they deem necessary, so that way they can at least be ready with enough time to prepare or launch counter-measures. Any attempt to remove the chip from the gun makes it so that the gun cannot fire.
  6. Here's the thing to all the right-leaning ES posters. We've been doing it your way on the "gun issue" for quite some time now. ****'s not working out. Somethings got to give.
  7. Good point on similar style rifles. They can go too. They key is the modular style that is manipulated to do what it legally shouldn't. As for the Left not wanting to fix it as to keep it a hot issue, I think that mostly describes politicians. The general population, Left or Right, is tired of seeing kids getting slaughtered, and that I believe is a genuine sentiment.
  8. Going to see Black Panther tomorrow. Normally I'm hesitant to believe the hype and the great reviews, but it seems this one is a hit with nearly everyone. Super excited now that I hear from ES'ers enjoying it.
  9. As a "lefty", I am completely aware that banning ALL guns is an impossibility at this point. However, changes can be made to prevent mass shootings. First and foremost, ban the AR-15. Pink elephant in the room. Why does this weapon always show up in mass shootings? Spare me the argument of "its not an assault rife" or "its semi-auto, it only fires as fast as you pull the trigger". I sure as hell know it wasn't designed with "hunting" in mind. It was designed to kill other humans. I have done enough research on guns to know what it's limitations and capabilities are. The problem with this gun is that it is VERY easily modified. Bump stocks can increase the fire rate to almost full auto. High capacity magazines can be added, and now this gun is capable of taking out a lot of people in a very little time, which leads me to my next point. Ban High capacity magazines. You have absolutely no reason to need this. As my Uncle once said, "If you need more than 10 bullets to defend yourself, you're ****ed anyway." "But then all the criminals will have guns". I think you are forgetting how organized crime works. Their whole operation is solely focused on the drug trade and making money. When is the last time you heard of the Bloods and Crips shooting up a mall, a movie theater, or an elementary school? Doesn't happen. They like to run more of a covert operation, and save most of their violence for other gangs/competition. "But they will just get it from the black market" Again, I think you are forgetting how the black market works. If a legal AR-15 goes for $2000 now, how much do you think it's gonna cost in the black market? Roughly around $15,000, maybe more. Is a 19 year old kid like Cruz gonna have $15,000 lying around? And even if the slim chance he does, what are the odds of a professional criminal on the black market selling to some mental kid he doesn't even know? Mass shootings aren't done by organized crime. They are done by mental-case civilians who easily get their hands on weapons that are capable of putting down many people very fast.
  10. Could tonight be the first time we win in all burgundy? If we do, we should consider to make it a permanent alternate
  11. This is why I don’t like Bruce Allen. He feels he’s above “color rush”. Better hurry and bring back his dads Ronald McDonald uniform.
  12. Just do the gold on gold. Don't know why the FO on this team is so anti-fun. Who knows? It actually might look cool.
  13. Nah, here in the DMV area. He gets air time in ATL? I'm so, so sorry! I thought only the D.C. locals had to suffer...
  14. Man I hate Chad Dukes. Like I really really loathe that guy. Dude talks like a pretentious know-it-all, calls people dumb and stupid and values his opinions above everyone else. The irony of a dude who didn't graduate college, voted for Trump, and takes the WWE seriously calling other people dumb. SMH. What idiot decided to give this guy a voice on the radio? Now this guy Dukes has a God-complex because he hosts a daily radio show for a local station, which he feels gives him validation to give the most absurd commentary. The POS talks more about food on his show than sports. The second I hear his voice on 106.7 I change the tuner faster than a guy trying to undress his date on prom night. If there ever was a physical, visual, and concrete form of the word "blowhard", it would look like Chad Dukes. /rant
  15. We really need to get more modern with our uniforms. Only two teams have that timeless look that never needs updating, the Raiders and Steelers. Every other team has had a major update. Sadly, I don't think it will happen under Snyder and Bruce "brother of Macaca" Allen.
  16. If we close out the season with wins and the Cowboys/Giants beat Philly.... All 3 NFC East teams that make the playoffs will finish with a 4-2 division record, with the Cowboys sweeping the Redskins, the Giants sweeping the Cowboys, the Redskins sweeping the Giants, and all 3 sweeping the Eagles.
  17. Still hoping burgundy on burgundy makes a return at some point. Jackson and Norman would look sleek as hell in that combo.... the O/D-linemen.... not so much.
  18. God it's good to see those burgundy pants again..... been what... 5 years?
  19. Why is Kendall Fuller on the inactive list 2 weeks in a row? He was hailed as the potential starting nickel and is now nowhere to be seen.
