The worst-case scenario for the Celtics. Owners who aren't in the ring business but are in the profit business. The NBA should be ashamed of itself for approving this ownership group. Wyc should be ashamed for selling to this group. Boston & Celtics fans deserve so much better.
This sucks. Mass Effect hopefully can find a home somewhere else. It’s one of the great video game series and stories ever. KOTOR has long deserved an update and more releases. Big loss for all gamers

I’m all for legalized gambling but this is gross. No one should bet on this or have the ability to bet on it. It’s just not something any civilized person or society should condone

Hiring Francis Lawrence is both a total no-brainer and a hilarious creative trap.
Book one of Red Rising is essentially The Hunger Games in space; a brutal battle royale at the Institute designed to weed out the weak. He can shoot that in his sleep.
The real test is if Paramount has the stomach for what comes next: a crazy, R-rated Roman space opera filled with decapitations, nuclear orbital drops, and toxic sociopaths.
If they sanitize Darrow into Katniss with a scythe, the Howlers will riot
It's too good not to be adapted, but especially with the later books, it's definitely NOT YA so I really hope they don't tone it down. It would almost assuredly work better as a show, but so would a lot of things. Excited to see it and really hope they don't ruin it.
A ‘RED RISING’ movie is in the works at Paramount
• Francis Lawrence (‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’) set to direct
• The story follows a young miner living on Mars who attempts to bring down the color-coded class system

To steal from one of my readers. Zelda and GTA are not ‘the barbenheimer of games’.
They’re the Ocarina of Crime.

Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard has agreed to a two-year, $44.2 million contract extension, plus a mutual option in the 2029-30 season, CAA Co-Head of Basketball Austin Brown and agent Max Saidman tell ESPN.

That’s my GOAT. Refused to let one loss define him. The 32 BBY Boonta Eve Classic was a fluke and everybody knows it. That other kid took his ball and went home and refused to defend the title like a real racer.
One of my favorite details in Galactic Racer is this bit where Sebulba claims that the other human that beat him in a podrace "disappeared and made nothing of his life."
Sebulba's entire life was focused on racing, so it absolutely makes sense that he never cared enough that the 9 Year Old that beat him on Tatooine eventually became one of the most infamous people in the galaxy.

Trillions died because a nine year old kid said he could do this and Qui-Gon Jinn raised an eyebrow

If I were in charge of Lucasfilm, I’d do this:
-Court Denis Villeneuve or Alfonso Cuarón to direct a Knights of the Old Republic trilogy.
-Make Steven Soderbergh’s Ben Solo film.
-Make James Mangold’s Jedi origin film.
-Make a New Jedi Order trilogy with Rey training the next generation. I’d go with someone like Greta Gerwig, Chloé Zhao, or Gina Prince-Bythewood to direct it. And I definitely wouldn’t let Simon Kinberg write it.
-Greenlight a horror Star Wars movie and let someone like Mike Flanagan direct and write it.
As for the TV side, I’d let Damon Lindelof and Beau Willimon each develop a show.
Just let talented showrunners make Star Wars shows and stop trying to make them feel like movies. Let them be actual TV shows set in the Star Wars universe.

He’s right of course. Player pay and coaching pay ARE totally different markets.
That’s why in every pro sports league, the best players are paid significantly more than the best coaches. They’re way more valuable.
