  1. My guess would be the former Myriad Convention Center - across from the Paycom Center - has been converted into a movie studio. The interior set for the bar is in there. Pretty impressive. We did some exterior shots around downtown Oklahoma City. For example, the former newspaper building at NW 4th and Broadway was used as the Mayo Hotel for the series. The Dispensary Gas Station is at 310 South Klein in OKC.
  2. I haven't seen this show (saw the movie years ago) but did tour the U-505 at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago over the weekend. Highly recommended. They said those U-boats did not have any shower or bathing facilities, normally averaged 95-degree temps and could be at sea three months at a time. No showers for 3 months. And supposedly each crew member was issued two pairs of underwear. Seriously?

  3. If you're a fan of Tokyo based settings and Japanese culture, I recommend a movie on Hulu called 'Lost Girls and Love Hotels'. Not bad.
  4. Saw it last night. Anyone familiar with the Oklahoma City metro area had to get a mild kick out of the locations. The Rams and UNI field was clearly UCO in Edmond (didn't think to cover up the logo?) and the Arena League action was obviously the State Fairgrounds. They're tearing that arena down pretty soon so kind of cool to get that on film. Believe it or not, a lot of hockey greats and Stanley Cup winners played in that barn (Cheevers, Sanderson, Cashman, Pronovost, Parise, Parent, Crisp, Goldsworthy, Sather, Leach, Lonsberry, Dallas Smith, etc. etc.)
  5. If you have any familiarity with Oklahoma City, it should be a fun series to watch. Most of it is being filmed in OKC. That gas station at the 4 second mark is right across the street from the Farmer's Market. Not the best location in town. They have security there 24/7 to keep an eye on the place. According to one of the security guards I spoke with, they're planning on turning that into a tourist location to sell souvenirs if the show takes off like a Yellowstone or Soprano's.
  6. Similar thing happened when I was in juniors years ago. We had a goon kind of guy take a run at one of their guys as we were yelling for him to come off the ice. He turns around makes a beeline for the bench. One of their guys decided to take a payback shot and made a run for him right as we opened the door to the bench. He skated off and within a second, the other kid goes chest first right into the open board. Miracle it didn't seriously injure him. We still have it on tape somewhere.
  7. I personally thought Sandler and Latifah had totally believable chemistry. They seemed like a couple that had been together forever and not just a couple of years. Don't know too many couples in their 50's making out in the kitchen.
  8. So this probably goes under the 'how is this the same actor' thread but whatever. Last week, I was an extra in the new series from Paramount called 'Tulsa King' with Sylvester Stallone. Basically, all I did was walk down a sidewalk while this guy parked his car. They did take after take. Anyway, the guy driving the car in the scene was some guy I heard never heard of or recognized. So I go home and do a little research and to my embarrassment and amazement, it was Max Casella. He played Benny Fazio in The Soprano's. Can't believe I've watched Soprano's a gillion times and had absolutely no clue who this guy was in real life. By the way, speaking of Casella, watched the movie 'Killing Them Softly' tonight. Not the best film but quite a few Soprano's alumni in that one including Gandolfini and Curatola. Might be worth a watch for the fans.
  9. Great to see Edmonton win. Another Hanifin turnover that did Calgary in......he should have opened a bakery, he gave the puck away so often. McDavid and Leo go against Big Nate and Makar in a best-of-7. What hockey fan wouldn't want to see that. If it gets to Avs/Bolts, THAT will the series for the ages. Besides the talent up front for both teams, someone (Makar) can finally offset the Bolts having Hedman on the blue line. It'll come down to goaltending in that series.
  10. Great game. Thank goodness Dallas got knocked off. Battle of Alberta is old time hockey
  11. What's the story on Dellandrea? Kid looks like he's got some hands and legit hockey sense.
  12. Don't take the loss so hard. Your Stars gave Calgary a heck of a series and shouldn't have even gone 7 but they played beyond their abilities this year. The better team won. None of these teams are going to beat Colorado anyway.
  13. Hate for Canada? Seriously? You guys need to visit the Great White North sometime in your life to understand how important this win is for Calgary. Battle of Alberta will be fantastic for the league. What are the Stars? Like 4th on the popularity pecking order in the metroplex? What percentage of Dallas citizens even know or care who won this game tonight? Great game though, eh.
  14. Battle of Alberta. Who knew Dallas goaltending would be this good.
  15. You mean the great Jamie Benn hasn't scored a geno in the post season?? I still can't believe the Stars landed Pavelski. What a great pick up for you guys.
  16. Quick shout out for Leafs fans........you only have to beat Tampa, Carolina, Florida and Colorado. Too bad we don't have Johnny Bower or Popcorn Palmateer in net.
  17. Is there a bigger waste of time in sports than a hockey player interview? cliche, cliche, cliche "Thanks, Jamie."
  18. Welcome of the new NHL. I'm actually surprised jerseys still have fight straps.
  19. Too bad the Rangers OT strategy of face scrubs and pops to the face didn't draw penalties. Refs not falling for it.
  20. Spoke to a good friend of mine who has been at the Yomiuri for twenty years. While ‘Tokyo Vice’ isn’t yet available in Japan, people are certainly talking about it. Mainly about how a lot of Adelstein’s claims you have to take with a huge grain of salt. Good article in the Hollywood Reporter pretty much calling him out on some of the silliness https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/tokyo-vice-problematic-source-material-1235135828/
  21. First time we've ever walked out of a movie theater without finishing a film. Needless to say, I've lost movie selection privileges for a while.
  22. KD? Is that you? Had no idea you were on here. Gotta develop some thicker skin, brother.
  23. On a personal note, does Durant have much of a life outside of basketball? He clearly loves the game seemingly more than some of his fellow elite level players. But does he do anything? Collect cars? Have a main chick? Hands on investment in businesses and non-profits? Seems like he's either playing ball or acting like a bitch on TV or social media. Comes across as kind of a lost soul.
  24. I thought it was very entertaining. Enjoyed Cage taking the piss at himself throughout the movie.
