They lack strong leadership. Their schools don’t really care about athletics. Several schools are in debt. It just doesn’t seem like they have anything going for it right now.
Update: if Big12 would get both AZ schools plus Utah and Colorado they would rival SEC and Big10. Large media outlets which is what is working to survive.
I like Raimi as a director more and frankly seeing the first draught of the 89 script makes me like Burton even less. Havent ever really loved 89 as much as others to begin with, sonce I didnt grow up with it.
Raimi cause at least he loves spider-man and would try to make a character driven story about peter , whereas burton doesnt care for batman and another batman film by him would be all visuals and not a character driven story about batman.
Burton Batman, while still a notable and fondly remembered version, is (imo) seeming less influential and culturally relevant the more years that have passed since its release. Conversely, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man seems way more influential again, and is, for me, the more definitive take of the two!
The Raimi Spider-man films feel like an overarching story without a satisfying ending. I just have more nostalgia for Raimi Spider-man. Literally nothing would make me happier than hearing that elfman spider-man score over the opening credits of a new Raimi Spider-man movie one more time.
It would be a harder choice if it was the Keaton universe without Burton, even than I might have to go with Spider Man, Raimi is the easy choice with Burton the way he is now.
Burton's best days are behind him and even during those he wasn't perfect. Raimi still seems to "got it", even if I haven't loved all of his more recent work either. Plus, his Spider-Man movies ended on a worse note than Burton's Batmans, so there's a bigger need for redemption.
Now I assume that both Tim Burton and Sam Raimi are very different people than when they left their projects, but since there's been less time in between 2007 and now than there is 1992 and now, I assume that Raimi has retained more of his sensibilities that made his version work.
I ignored it just like Republican lawmakers ignore takkng a bigger stance on control on school shootings. All they do is give meaningless mouth service the whole time pocketing money from NRA lobbyists.
I don't want to take anyone's guns from them, but our children should feel safe.
We already have a military presence in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally. Trump should NOT be threatening the European balance or the time-tested established order. This has ramifications far beyond Trump's ego.
US should not invade other countries. Never Greenland or Venezuela. This is Trump enriching himself. Dangerous and destroying US reputation on human rights.
We have existing agreements with Greenland and Denmark regarding military bases. We should expand on that, rather than threaten to take the entire country by force 'if necessary'
From what I have read U of O and U of W are looking to bail also. Leaving what?

ReplyWe have now went from Power 5 to Power 2. The other 3 conferences will be under extreme pressure to survive in their present form.
