Hmmm.. I'll have to put Kevin Feige ANIEC ATM.

You may be a great director, but it doesn't necessary mean you can be a great producer. This is coming from Ralph Winter talk on being a producer and what it takes. A producer needs to be able to manage and keep many plates spinning at the same time for the film to be able to be made so that the director can focus on her/his job. Logistics and supply chain mgmt. are great skills to have for a producer.

Kevin had lots of experience as a producer of both hits and flops, while Patty has had little experience as a producer to manage such a huge franchise. Let her get a few more production credits with big budget films before she takes over something like that.


After being cooped up at home for 12 days now, I'm continuing the smell theme:

The smell of nature after light rain fall VS the smell of the beach?

I would choose Too Cold All Year. I sleep better in the cold and I love the snow, which we sadly did not get this entire winter. In the Pacific Northwest. Where we get feet of snow every winter.

I think that's way to soon to say. If TB brings Tampa Bay to the Super Bowl then yes, he'll cement his rep as the GOAT, specially if he wins it. But just getting to the SB alone is enough for me, just like Kurt Warner did with an average Cardinals team . That for me cemented his HoF entry

So this can be revisited when he leaves/retires from TB.

You wanna change that to make it easier to answer?

Ouch... that stings... as a Cards fan it hurts to be reminded of that SB loss... :(
But it's my own fault, I could be fan of a functioning and good franchise instead, haha.

As for the vs.; it's a joke vs. nothing to get too serious about. I already like Tampa Brady more since it is funny that he went there. Plus Tampa uniforms look less ugly so +2 for Tampa Brady (hey, I wrote less ugly! It's not like either looks really good :lol: ).

There is a lot I don't like about the Patriots, as an organization, but I have to go with New England Tom Brady. He's part of a dynasty that has dominated the league. Without Tom Brady, the Patriots would not have nearly as many Lombardis.

Gain the power of flight for one day, each year vs. 168 hours (one week) of invisibility to be used at any time, and for as long as you choose.

Flight. ANIEC. Nothing beat flying. Going on the sky coaster (where they swing you on a 100 ft crane cable) was the closest I got. Sky diving was too expensive at the time.

Invisibility can be painful or fatal. People won't see you coming and will bang into you. 1 absentminded moment that you're still invisible when you cross the road …. [MURRAY]

Parks and Rec was a charming and goofy show, so right up my alley. However, The Office was, hands-down, the superior show. Dwight and Michael are the most memorable TV characters I have ever seen.

Expound. I get it for something simple like teleportation, but what about telepathy? Can I read someone's mind for 16 hours and does it count as only 1 year lost?
