He played a Native American FBI agent in Thunderheart, I liked that film back in the day. Also starred Sam Shepard and Graham Greene.
When I was doing consulting with some Native American guys they had two factions, one that were convinced that Kilmer was native, and the other convinced he wasn't.

@Nepia They'd have to buy some shares first.
The owners are:
Wellington RFU (50%)
Horowhenua-Kapiti RFU (3.12%)
Richard Mansell, Coastlands CEO (12.5%)
Y11 Sport & Media Group (34.38%)$50 bucks should be enough to buy that lot out.
I think you guys might have spent that already doing lines.
No problem, we can afford to fix a broken a long neglected and broken Shield, run a financially responsible rugby union, and pay what ever astronomical price coke costs in Hawkes Bay as well. We got it sorted.

'Scott Barrett's form has not dipped
TBF, that's a true statement, he's remained consistently shit.
@Bovidae said in Hurricanes 2025:
The online article is paywalled but here is the intro:
The financial challenges facing the Hurricanes have been laid bare by a $700,000 loss in 2024 and a forecast of a further deficit this year. The losses follow a $1.4 million deficit in 2023 and the Super Rugby club has turned to existing shareholders for an additional $1M in capital as it works through a plan to return to positive financial territory in the 2026 year and beyond.
- Depressed crowd numbers and increased costs stress bottom line.
- The Hurricanes also lost $1.4M in 2023.
- Existing shareholders have until Friday to take up new share offer.
In the full article Cully also talks about the cost of the tenancy at NZCIS and accommodating a large squad including WTG and academy players.
Surely it is time for the most fiscally responsible union in the country, Hawkes Bay, to take over the Canes. Wellington (provincial and franchise) has shown they're not up to running teams from a financial standpoint.

@Kiwiwomble Have there been any successful video game adaptation movies? Genuinely asking.
First couple of Resident Evils were good. The rest shit.
Silent Hill was good
Last of Us is outstanding although it’s a TV show……
That’s probably it
Fall Out TV show was also very good
Sonic the Hedgehog are pretty fun watches.....i enjoyed the Tomb Raider and Uncharted movies but dont think they were commercially successful
...not many no
The Angelina Jolie Tomb Raiders were pretty successful, although they did unleash Gerard Butler on the world which may annoy some, but I thought the less successful Alicia Vikander one was better.

Shut up blocker you demented old fuck
How did we get assigned him as our regular commentator, he can barely speak English let alone be able to pronounce the names of some of our players.
@bayimports said in NRL 2025:
Shit 4 forward bench, terrible balance and kosi playing, time to put the house on the tigers
WTF, well I suppose I have been complaining about our little man bench for a few months so I can't complain when Webby goes all forwards.
Is Clark covering halves and 9?
@bayimports said in NRL 2025:
Few rumours floating around this weekend
CNK to reject extension and go to super league next year.
TMM off as soon as as he gets a contractSecond one doesn’t surprise me, as Webby completely fucking him over
Two potential incoming signings, one young half and an English edge back rower with talent but history of head knocks.
Is there that much money in Superleague to make it worthwhile for CNK to head off when he's a coach favourite in Auckland?
Also, completely agree on TMM, I like CHT but TMM must be looking at him starting and thinking WTF. After all, he only plays well when you give him shit in the thread.

Ok, here's my Oscar rankings from best to this movie is utter shit and probably still would have been without the shitty ham actor in the lead.
- I’m Still Here
- Anora
- A Complete Unknown
- Nickel Boys
- Conclave
- Dune Part 2
- Emilia Perez
- The Substance
- Wicked
- The Brutalist
I think I discussed all of these in the thread. TBF, 7-9 could all be 7th equal. Actually Emilia Perez and Wicked could be decent films if they weren't musicals. The Substance was disappointing.
Genuinely surprised by Anora and Nickel Boys as I wasn't interested in them before seeing them.
I'm a regular dune reader, and enjoyed part 1. But part was pretty lame, sadly.
Yeah, I thought Dune Part 2 would be much higher but it was pretty disappointing. The editing was a bit fucked which annoyed me.

Watched two movies with gimmicks in the last 24 hours.
Nickel Boys: This is filmed POV and I thought I'd hate it. But, the story won me over, and they switched the POV as it went on to the point I didn't really notice it. Is about a young black kid in 60s US who winds up in a juvenile delinquent school. Is on Amazon if anyone wants to watch it.
The Alto Knights: Robert De Niro plays two characters, not twins, not brothers, in this based on fact Mob movie. Movie was fine, and he was decent, but they really didn't need to have him play both characters. It's about Frank Costello and Vito Genovese.

Dylan Walker to the Eels effective immediately.
How the hell? He's a good bench option. Perhaps he could see the writing on the wall, with Ali making 3 his own, and Berry coming back soon
Why would that matter? He's never been a centre for us he's always been an impact player.
He is a valuable squad member, I just hope we don't suffer any injuries that accentuate the fact that he's gone
I don't disagree with any of that, I was only meaning in relation to the centres. I don't think they impact his decision to leave.

Shit, as @mariner4life noted above, he's our best half.

Warriors again, it's only the Tigers
Are we allowed to pick the same team twice?
I hope so, as I've now picked the same team 4 times. I thought I would have been out in round 2.
