Not "problems"
Inconsistencies


MJs name is "michelle"
She doesn't have red hair

Flash on the debate team or whatever it was

Peter's bff sidekick

All those go against typical Spider-Man mythology
And there was more
It's not worth debating...
I'm just trying to point out how EVERY superhero movie does it
And rightly so
Otherwise, you'd just be watching the same movie over & over each time

- jdfitz77



-That Was not MJ just a hint that she's coming
- they're most likely doing Peter meets Harry Osborn in college comic book
- the flash was definitely more for kids because of bullying but I'm pretty sure he's going to change his character the next movie because he has to transform into agent Venom

I love debating we can go at it will be friendly lol

When you draft defensman now a days, people in the war room or scouting offices say "give me a Brian Campbell like defenseman". He really helped revolutionize the position, and did it all with dignity and class.

Not many players are as good a person as Campbell.

When I was 24 or 25 (I'm 37 now) I was out on a Saturday night after a home game against Toronto, and Campbell, Dumont, and McKee were all there. Soon after, Roy, Vanek, Tallinder, and Peters came in. Peters ordered a case of Coors Light, and set it on the bar and told me and my 3 other buddies to help ourselves. At this point, I had already had been talking with Campbell and his crew, and Campbell said, "they aren't dogs Petey, if they wanted piss water they would drink out of the toilet". (Referring to Coors Light). The bar started getting really packed and a lot of drunk idiots were starting to cause the situation to be uncomfortable for them. So he said to us, we're gonna head down to Allen Street, would you guys care to join us? We hopped in their Limo, and went to a couple more bars Needless to say, it was a pretty great night.

Still not convinced what type of guy he is? At the end if the night, me and Brian exchanged some personal info. This was 2005, so there was no Twitter or even Facebook, so we exchanged cell # and emails. I sent him an email about a month later, and we met up a couple more times. About 3 years later, my gf at the time gave birth to my daughter who was born with special needs. I didn't tell this to Brian, somehow he found out she had special needs. So that Christmas, he gave us 5,000 dollars, a bunch of gift cards to various children stores, and a bunch of other stuff.

To this day we still talk once in a while, but as time went on it wasn't as frequent, such is the case with most friends. Oh I almost forgot - not that it matters, but Ryan Miller was there that first night, too. I don't think he spoke a word to any of me or my friends. He was the most standoffish person I have ever met. Soupy said it was mainly because he was so shy but I met him numerous times and he was always the same. Oh well.

Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you guys and girls. If you ever meet an idol or athlete you follow, just be yourself. Most of them just want to be treated like a normal person. And they really are just normal people, (well most of them) just with a lot of money

Technically, the Polish Cavalry* charged German infantry, and did good work on them. When the Germans went to retreat, they called in the tanks which encircled the Polish troops. The Polish made a number of evasive maneuvers, which included a final break to escape being captured. They were never foolish enough to charge directly at tanks...

But yeah. This didn't end well ....

So many people get cavalry wrong, but if they're not in the military, or aren't into history there's really no reason they'd know it.


Germans used their fair share of horses in WWII as well.

Great story sir


I've been a bartender for years
Miller was almost always like that
He was just uncomfortable with the attention
There was a night at Encore when he was out with Enroth, Steve Ott & a few other guys & they got pretty banged up
By the end of the night,
Miller had pulled me behind the bar & we were doing shots
He lived around the corner from me in the Elmwood village area
Whenever his dad was in town they'd always come eat at Coles
Even sitting with his dad at the bar for lunch he'd be kinda quiet
That's just how he is

I don't think you're getting the point

U can't compare a movie to previous movies or comics when it comes to specific details
