Sincerely,
Delta Fair Board Ag Committee

The Best Local News Moment of the Year Goes to this Jacksonville Jaguars Fan

The Jacksonville Jaguars are had one of, if not the best drafts compared to the other NFL teams in 2016. After nabbing some of the best players in this year's draft, News4Jax went to the streets of Jacksonville to dig up fan reactions, but what they got instead was pure viral gold.

Cubs Suffer Warren G's Awful Rendition of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game'

Warren G, who you might remember from 1994's 'Regulate' featuring Nate Dogg, was the Chicago Cubs' special guest on Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Warren G's time at Wrigley Field started out strong, but ended in a whimper. Luckily, Chicago Cubs fans are used to that sort of thing!

He threw the first pitch.

That went pretty well.

Then in the seventh inning stretch, he treated the Cubs and their fans to his rendition of 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game.' That didn't go as well... like... at all.

Listen Now: Blink 182's First Single Since Tom Delonge Departure

Many pop-punk fans were shocked when guitarist Tom Delonge announced his leaving of Blink 182. Just as many fans were surprised to see that bassist Mark Hoppus, and drummer Travis Barker, continued to perform under the Blink 182 banner. Joining Blink 182, and replacing founding member Tom Delonge, is Matt Skiba, frontman of Alkaline Trio.

The guys of Blink 182 did not hesitate to announce that they would be working on a new record. Now it appears that we don't have to wait too much longer, with the release of their first single since the departure of Tom Delonge.

'Bored to Death" is the first single off of the upcoming album "California."

Our take on the single: It sounds like Blink 182. That's not a bad thing. It is strange not hearing Tom's voice, whether it be lead vocals or harmonies. It's not a ground breaking single by any means, but Blink 182 was never really known for their musicality outside of Travis Barker's drumming prowess. With that being said, blink 182 is known for their catchy song writing, and "Bored to Death" delivers on that. It has a nice sound that is partially reminiscent of their self-titled record in 2013, as well as some modern pop-punk/powerpop drive that will please fans of more modern acts like Fall Out Boy and the like. With The Starting Line and Blink 182 releasing new music in 2016, everything is right in the world of pop-punk.

'Punisher' Series Officially Ordered by Netflix

Jon Bernthal's portrayal of Frank Castle/The Punisher is inarguably the best part of Netflix and Marvel's Daredevil season 2, and we are going to get more of him!

The Punisher is getting his own Netflix series, and Jon Bernthal will be reprising his role.

While rumors regarding the spin-off have been swarming since last summer, it is now official that Marvel and Netflix will be teaming up yet again.

Writer and executive producer Steve Lightfoot, of the critically acclaimed Hannibal television series, will be The Punisher's showrunner.

“For me, the complexity and unpredictability of Frank Castle make him an incredibly compelling character and I couldn’t be more excited to dive into his world," says Lightfoot in a statement. "After watching Jon’s performance in Marvel’s Daredevil I could not be more excited to be working with him to further develop and progress the story of this anti-hero in a show of his own.”

Marvel and Netflix are expected to make a formal announcement later Friday, April 29, 2016.

Here is the first promotional teaser released for the newly ordered series:

AMC Theatres Won't Allow Texting in "the Foreseeable Future"

New chief executive and president of AMC Theatres,  Adam M. Aron, caused quite the buzz when he stated that the company was looking into making theaters "more texting friendly." This plan was being developed in hopes to cause a bigger draw of the millennial demographic.

While AMC ensured that this would only be tested "in a very few screens," many film goers still feared that this experiment could wield results that would carry over to other major theater chains.

Luckily, Aron came out today with a public statement, issued over Twitter and Facebook, stating that "With your advice in hand; there will be NO TEXTING ALLOWED in any of the auditoriums at AMC Theatres. Not today, not tomorrow, and not in the foreseeable future."

So breathe easy movie goers, texting is still not allowed in AMC Theaters, and you have every right to report anyone violating these rules to the nearest staff member.

Cardinals Announce #PlayBallLikeACardinal Video Initiative

    ST. LOUIS, MO, March 25, 2016 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced that they have launched a youth-focused video engagement initiative, #PlayBallLikeACardinal, to highlight kids' love of the game of baseball and encourage them to play the game like their favorite Cardinals players.

Through #PlayBallLikeACardinal, the St. Louis Cardinals are seeking out young people who have a passion for the Redbirds and are incorporating that passion into how they play the game—whether it is tee-ball, baseball, softball, wiffleball, stick-ball, tape-ball or any other version of the great American Pastime.

“The #PlayBallLikeACardinal initiative gives our young fans the opportunity to display their love for their favorite Cardinals player’s style of play,” said Bill DeWitt III, President of the St. Louis Cardinals.  “It also gives fans, and our organization, a creative and unique way to showcase their child’s passion for the Cardinals.”

Fans are asked to post short video clips of their children imitating their favorite Cardinals players to their preferred social media platform (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) using the hashtag, #PlayBallLikeACardinal, or share a link to a video they have posted to a public video platform like YouTube directly with the Cardinals at www.cardinals.com/playball .  The Cardinals intend to share videos of children playing ball like Cardinals on the team’s television broadcasts such as Cardinals Insider, within Busch Stadium on the new high definition scoreboard or online via cardinals.com, Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

#PlayBallLikeACardinal is inspired by Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred's directive to encourage MLB teams to work to get more kids to play baseball and a variety of related games. 

"Major League Baseball's foremost goals revolve around allowing children to experience the fun of our game and instilling in them a love for our National Pastime,” said MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. “I am pleased that the #PlayBallLikeACardinal video initiative supports the objectives of MLB's Play Ball program and will incorporate technology in a fun, seamless fashion.  Knowing the passion and loyalty of Cardinal fans, I look forward to the program's success in developing even stronger bonds between kids and their favorite players."

#PlayBallLikeACardinal is one of several #CardsFanFlix fan engagement initiatives the St. Louis Cardinals have undertaken to encourage fans to create videos that celebrate the team.  Last season, hundreds of fans collectively participated in the various #CardsFanFlix video engagement promotions which included the Ultimate Fan Video Contest, Take Me Out to the Ballgame Music Video contest, 2015 All-Star Video the Vote promotion, Ultimate Fan Broadcaster Contest, Greatest Postseason Moments Contest, #12inStL Fan Video Rally, and the team's season-long celebration of Red Schoendienst's incredible 70+ years in major league baseball, #LoveRed2.  The Cardinals are currently sponsoring the 2nd Annual Cardinals Ultimate Fan Contest (www.cardinals.com/ultimatefan) and the first annual High School Video Challenge (www.cardinals.com/studentvideochallenge ) to challenge High School students to develop a video in collaboration with the Cardinals that promotes the team and their high school, while also integrating elements of the S.T.E.A.M. curriculum.     

Through the #CardsFanFlix fan engagement initiative, the St. Louis Cardinals hope to tap into the increasing trend of user-generated video content made possible by advances with mobile technology and social media.  Fans can learn more about #CardsFanFlix and view fan created videos at www.cardinals.com/fanflix .  Fans can join the conversation with #CardsFanFlix and #PlayBallLikeACardinal.

"The LEGO Batman Movie" Trailer Released Amidst "Batman v Superman" Hype

While fans of the Caped Crusader are eagerly awaiting for their turn to see Ben Affleck's highly lauded portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Warner Bros. Pictures released their first trailer for The LEGO Batman Movie.

The teaser for the follow-up to The LEGO Movie, which was both a critical and commercial success, serves up a nice taste of Bat-Action and Bat-Comedy that will be featured in the upcoming film. We even get to see a glimpse of an assembled (no pun intended) Justice League.

The LEGO Batman Movie is set to release some time in 2017!

Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2016

There have been some great movies to hit theaters already in 2016. The Witch, Zootopia, and 10 Cloverfield Lane have all been fantastic, but there are still more movies to come this year!

Here are our Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2016!

10. Ratchet and Clank

It's not often that we get a movie based off of video games... if ever. With that being said, classic playstation series Ratchet and Clank is coming to the silver screen, and it looks promising. With an art style that should appeal to fans of recent Disney/Pixar films, and an established fanbase, Ratchet and Clank should garner interest from a fairly wide demographic. Ratchet and Clank is scheduled to be in theaters April 29, 2016.

9. The Jungle Book

We live in a world where movies that we adore are getting remade. While plenty of these remakes seem to add very little to the equation, The Jungle Book will at least be significantly different in terms of visuals. From what we have seen, this film already seems to be begging for an Oscar nomination for visual effects. The Jungle Book has some major shoes to fill, but hopefully this start-studded cast (including Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Christopher Walken, Idris Elba and more), can help breathe some life into this remake. The Jungle Book will be in theaters April 15, 2016!

8. The Conjuring 2

Boo! Did we scare you? Probably not, but that's not to say that the next film on our list won't! The Conjuring was a pleasant surprise for horror fans, with it being one of the most highly praised horror films in quite some time. Unfortunately, the tangentially related film, Annabelle, failed to stir up the same buzz or accolades, and appeared to be a quick cash-in. Thankfully, we are getting the proper sequel that it deserves. With the original writers and director returning alongside the original Warrens, Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, we are fully expecting a film that will scare and entertain. The Conjuring 2 will be in theaters June 10, 2016!

7. Captain America: Civil War

We know what you're thinking. "How is this not higher on our list?" First off, consider all of the movies that are going to be fantastic that didn't even make the list. Captain America: Civil War has us excited as movie and comic book fans. So why not put it higher. Civil War is going to be good. It could be great. It won't be bad. Disney and Marvel do a great job protecting the integrity of their Marvel Cinematic Universe. Which means that we haven't seen them take any particularly major risks. That's not a bad thing. Don't fix what isn't broken. With that being said, much like Madden and Call of Duty, we know what to expect each and every year. Thankfully, that means Civil War SHOULD be pretty good. Captain America: Civil War will be in theaters May 6, 2016.

6. Demolition

If you visit Demolition's page on Rotten Tomatoes, you will see that the critics are already split right down the middle. So with it currently only being rated at a 54%, why are we still so excited to watch this film? Two words: Jake Gyllenhaall. He may have a few misses here and there on his resume, but he typically isn't the reason a movie is bad. He's got the acting chops to be considered one of the greats of his generation. Don't believe us? Check out Prisoners, Nightcrawler, and End of Watch, then get back to us.

Demolition is currently being screened at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, and while some don't seem to be on-board, others are walking away loving it. This quirky and off-beat film has all the makings of a cult-classic, and we can't wait to see it in theaters after its limited release on April 8, 2016.

5. Suicide Squad

If a movie about forcing a team of super villains doesn't get you excited enough, don't forget to consider the fact that this film is being directed by the same guy, David Ayer, who brought us Training Day (writer and producer), Fury, and End of Watch. Both of those films are visceral, heart-wrenching, and have some really great performances. We can't wait to see a "superhero" film directed by someone as exciting as any other film maker in the business right now. Also, if you think you will love him or not, you have to admit that you're curious at how good Jared Leto's Joker could be. Suicide Squad is set for release on August 5, 2016.

4. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Lumos Maxima! For those of you in the dark, let us shine some light on the newest film set within the magical world of Harry Potter. While many of us are still having to deal with the Harry Potter film series ending in 2011, J.K. Rowling has been hard at work on her first screenplay! This is the first time that we have seen this universe outside of the United Kingdom, and for American fans of the films and books, that should be enough to stir up great excitement. One of the most exciting aspects about Fantastic Beasts that many probably aren't talking about, is the inclusion of a muggle (non-witch or non-wizard) within our main group of heroes. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is slated for a November 18, 2016 release.

3. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Rogue One is shrouded in mystery, but what we do know, is that this will give us a whole new perspective to the wars of Star Wars. The first of the standalone Star Wars Anthology Series will focus on the ground level of the battles raging between the light and the dark. It is also being directed by another filmmaker that we are excited about, Gareth Evans, the director of 2014's Godzilla and 2010's Monsters. Do we even really need to say anything other than "Star Wars?" We'll be seeing it in theaters December 16, 2016!

2. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

The release of Batman v Superman (March 25, 2016), is so close that we can taste it! You will not find a shortage of doubters on in the internet, but regardless of their complaints of what they have seen in the trailers, there is one thing that launches this film so high on our list: Batman. When it was first announced that Ben Affleck would be playing titular hero, Batman, many were not pleased. Many of those fans had flashbacks to the less-than-stellar Daredevil film, but honestly, Ben Affleck wasn't what made that movie bad. We also have to take into consideration that Affleck is an extremely successful filmmaker, garnering accolades for The Town, and an Academy Award for Argo. The man isn't just a Hollywood hunk, but a man with a great directing, writing, and acting resume.

Even if we through all of that out of the window, the direction in which Zack Snyder appears to be taking the Caped Crusader appears to be the most volatile and visceral version of the hero that we may have ever seen. Even if the movie as a whole isn't great, we have high hopes that Ben Affleck's Batman might be the best version of Knight from Gotham that we have ever seen on film. Oh, and WONDER WOMAN!

1. Green Room

"What? Never heard of it!" A24 is a film studio that you may have been hearing a lot about lately, without even realizing it. One of their films, Ex Machina, made our Top Movies of 2015 list. Their film, Room, has propelled actress Brie Larson (or should was say Academy Award Winning Actress) into the limelight. We gave their movie, The Witch, high praise in our review on Worth a Watch.

"But what is it about the the actual film that we should be excited about?"

In our review of 10 Cloverfield Lane, we mentioned the great performance by John Goodman, and how strange it was to see him play such a creepy character. In Green Room, we are going to get a similar experience with Sir Patrick Stewart. In Green Room, Patrick Stewart appears to be the leader of a group of skinheads that a group of punk-rockers have to fight to survive and escape from. While it seems to follow some of the survival horror tropes, the unique setting and premise has us excited to see something that we haven't quite seen before in theaters on April 15, 2016.

The following trailer is the Green Band trailer. If you want the full effect check out the VERY NSFW Red Band Trailer for Green Room.
