In Kill Switch, Dan Stevens Explores What Happens When Parallel Universes Collide “Dan Stevens, you just starred in a billion- dollar hit and have your own popular TV show, what are you doing next?” “I’m doing an indie scifi film about a big portal in the sky!”Okay, he didn’t say that, but it’s true. Stevens, who played the Beast in the new Beauty and the Beast film and just wrapped up the first season of Legion, is the star of Kill Switch, a small film that’s coming to theaters and VOD on June 1. He plays a pilot who has to save his family, and the world, when an energy experiment using parallel universes goes wrong. Here’s the first trailer. Kill Switch is directed by first- time filmmaker Tim Smit and, honestly, the trailer doesn’t look half bad. You don’t really get a sense of the story in it, but the visuals certainly make us think this might be a film worth checking out later this summer. Stress the “might be.”.

PIG's Whacked Out World Of Sports. KICK BALLWelcome to the PIGDOME and PIG's Whacked Out World Of Sports. No astroturf, steroids or designated hitters here, either. OK all you PIG Bleacher Bums, we're here to talk sports, competition, winning, losing and some properly- PIGish sports takes. Why are we writing about sports here at the Free State Of PIG? Because Korrectniks far and wide found a way to toss their crappy stick in the mud on anything from dodgeball, kickball, marbles, hopscotch and team logos and mascots. If Redskins, Fighting Irish and Atlanta Braves Tomahawk Chops ruffle your sensitivities, well then pick up your tiny balls and little stick and start walking, because YOUR'E OUTTA HERE! PIG's Whacked Out World Of Sports Section will not only deal with the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, but who got their clocks cleaned by whom, on more out of the way topics. For instance, how many of you watch NASCAR to see how many points Jeff Gordon will get per season as opposed to those who watch NASCAR in hopes of seeing some red cement? If the concept of two teams or individuals doing battle with each other on the field of competition with the spirits of a gladiator, with the outcome being one winner, one loser bothers you, we'll be more than happy to drop kick you back to Sensitivity Memorial Stadium. But when big game hunters chase down elephants and kill them just for the sake of bagging the poor beast and stuff and mount it's head on their wall, that's not a sport, not even if your'e going to eat the damn thing. Because the elephant didn't have a chance. A sport usually involves two or more willing participants ready to do battle with victory being the primary objective. Hell, tiddlewinks IS a sport that does not involve athletism as much as it involves coordination and concentration. Is blasting sports- phobic korrectniks a sport? If you answered 'no' to that, consider yourself ejected from the PIGDOME. Forever. Pastimes. Most of the PIG staff's pastimes are eating pizza and drinking tubs filled with beer. That's a pastime, but what happens when there's one slice of pizza left could be considered a bloodsport. It's what it's all about in the arena of competition. Any area, but we're talking sports, PIGsters. From Gladiators and chariot races to today's Ultimate Fighting Competition and female mud wrestling, you gotta love the spirit of competition involved. PIG'S CHEERLEADING SQUADExamples Of Winners: Vince Lombardi inspired a winning attitude among his Green Bay Packer championships teams. Leo Durocher, coined the term ! GOODEFebruary 0. 3, 2. Brady > > > TEAM SPIRIT . Seems like the spirit of competition is still alive and well with private Dodgeball tournaments. O'Sports Hack recently ran across this recent local flyer while going about town and thought . Dodgeball doesn't lower self esteem, win or lose, it raises it. Now, go out out there and toss a Dodgeball at the nearest Limp- Dick you see, and have fun doing it. Item #2: Cubs Win!: HOLY (Not Mrs. The Chicago Cubs broke a 1. Championship drought by defeating the Cleveland Indians in an extra inning game 7 of the 2. World Series. Great for the team and especially the Cubs to bring it on home. The city of Chicago celebrated in a very civil, but probably half drunken manner, but I didn't hear of any gun violence. Could it be that the ? Before the game, Scully recollected that the day after the Pearl Harbor attack, he stated that almost every able bodied young man rushed down to the draft board and enlisted in the military. Scully also said that back then, the Patriot spirit was at an all- time high and many underage young men lied to serve their country. He then fast forwarded to 1. That’s as political as I’ve ever heard him. While at the helm of the Dodgers broadcast booth, Scully has called some memorable games. Here are just a few highlights that may be a trip down memory lane for some: 1. Don Larsen pitched perfect game in World Series. Sandy Koufax pitches perfect game. Note the scoreboard.> > > Sandy Koufax Perfecto > > > 1. Hank Aaron hits home run 7. Babe Ruth’s record.> > > Hammerin' Hank Hits 7.

Vin Scully’s final sign- off: “You know friends. And I'll miss our time together more than I can say.? There will be a new day and, eventually, a new year. And when the upcoming winter gives way to spring, oh, rest assured, once again, it will be time for Dodger baseball. Dodger Baseball will never be the same. You are and always will be a class act and a tough one to follow, if ever.> > > > > DUAL DEPARTURESDAVID ORTIZ & VIN SCULLY: OUTTA HERE!> > > > > Item #2: David Ortiz Bids Boston And Baseball Adios. David Ortiz, affectionately known throughout the baseball world as . Beginning with the 2. American league playoffs, down 3 games to none against the Yucky Yankees, Ortiz ignited one of the greatest 8- game winning streaks in any sport, spearheading the Rag- Tag Red Sox who called themselves, “The Idiots.” Boston took the next 4 from The Yankees for the League Championship and swept St. Louis for the title. Ortiz was also part of the Red Sox 2. Championship teams. A name like David Ortiz in a sports crazed city like Boston catapults him into a very elite crowd of former Boston athletes, Larry Bird, Wilt Chamberlain, Bobby Orr, Carl Yastrzemski, and even Tom Brady. Not bad company for Mr. Ortiz to keep. He’s not done yet. The Red Sox advance to the playoffs and we’ll be seeing more of David Ortiz, at least for a few more games. CENTERFIELD FENWAY PARK TRIBUTE TO DAVID ORTIZItem #3: Fans Give ECU Marching Band Marching Orders. The East Carolina University's marching band jumped on the . Why can't fans of professional sports teams follow suit? After all a lot of those MLB, NBA, NFL games are nationally televised so when members of a certain team, visitors OR home team get the same reception by their fans? That works on a few levels. One, it allows the PAYING fans a way to let their feelings be known, and.. Two, public humiliation and being taken down a few notches works well, too. Item #4: Atlanta Braves Fans Say Goodbye To Turner Field. Braves fans say goodbye. Turner Field which opened in 1. Many thought it should have been named after Hank Aaron, but Ted Turner, yes, THAT Ted Turner stroked his ego and named the park after himself. Turner, and his pathetic Tomahawk Chop posse will be playing at Sun. Trust Park, for those that care. Keep playing the National Anthem!! Obama you are pathetic once again! Everyone should be locked behind bars like animals! Colin Kaepernick - whose future in the NFL is questionable and probably on life support - is celebrated for publicly disrespecting our flag, military and police officers but Clevenger is issued a suspension for expressing himself through harmless tweets. Clevenger no doubt has gone on the usual, mandatory, manufactered apology tour. Another blow to the First Amendment. Seems these two foreign born players know a bit more about American patriotism than many of our own American born, spoiled and filthy rich athletes do. Seems as if a lot of Americans can learn from these two men about our flag, National Anthem and what it means to millions. Let's hope 'Stand Off's become a regular ritual at all levels of all sports. TAKING A STANDSeptember 1. Ravens’ Ben Watson Gives Fantastic Response Regarding Colin Kaepernick and National Anthem. By Kyle P Barber. A lot of controversy this offseason for Colin Kaepernick, and not regarding his job against Blaine Gabbert. Instead, for his decision to sit, and now kneel, for his beliefs. Last night Benjamin Watson gave a full- fledged response and opinion on the matter on Facebook. I will not have the option to kneel this Sunday while the National Anthem is being played. A week ago, in what would prove to be my last pre- game opportunity of this 2. I stood with my right hand over my heart as the anthem played. And if I am fortunate enough to ever be dressed for another game day I imagine I would be doing the same thing I did in my last. Not because America is ALL I desire it to be because most assuredly it is not. Racism still stews, families are fractured, the unborn are trashed, schools are struggling, religious freedom is increasingly under attack, violence pollutes our cities and our suburbs, and there is a growing divide between law enforcement and the community. I stand, however, because I grew up in NAVY town USA and traveled overseas to support members of our armed forces who follow orders regardless of their personal sentiments. I stand for those who were forced to give their lives building the country that confined them to the tobacco fields and indigo plantations. I stand because as a child, I saw my father stand. A man who lived the tumultuous transition from . And because it's MY home my standing is a pledge to continue the fight against all injustice and preserve the greatest attributes of the country, including Colin Kaepernick's right to kneel. His actions and similar actions by figures of the past and present are a vital part of our journey and a key component of the equation for social change and should be respected as such. From the country's inception, such displays against the status quo are distinctly American. My hope, though, is that these actions bring more attention to the PROBLEM than to the PROTESTOR. And that ensuing dialog discover truth and that truth give birth to justice in legitimate situations where there is none.
