        [deleted] 1
        
        I couldn't give a f*ck what the standard for bringing a class action is, that's admittedly well outside my expertise. - znufrii Mar 30, 10:16

ok, finally looking at WW costume. yikes. it's *better*. but they REALLY could have done better. the hair is awful. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 09:39 21
- More than anything else, releasing these pics is a mistake because they are creating a negative perception of the series. - David Mar 30, 09:51 14
  - maybe they think it looks good? -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 09:55 13
    - Nobody would be that naive. They are trying to build a buzz, but they haven't adapted to the new marketplace where bad buzz is worse than no buzz. -- nm - David Mar 30, 09:59 12
      - I believe these are pap snaps and not official photos. -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 10:16

        For a weekly show, the Smallville plan seems the way to go. Don't get all costumey until you are established. -- nm - Amy Mar 30, 10:05 9
        
        Better yet, don't do comics on real network tv. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:09 7
        
        or in theaters -- nm - moles Mar 30, 10:16 6
        
        I agree. Let's also stop Westerns and Cop movies and mafia movies and Rom Coms -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 10:19 1
        
        oh and all horror films and any science fiction movies as well. Plus Scorsese is done so no more from him -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 10:21
        
        Why do you hate money-making ventures Pixie? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:16 3

        Signed, Star Wars Superfan -- nm - David Mar 30, 10:22
        
        This. If you don't have the budget to get snazzed out in Hollywood Blockbuster style, I think audiences rather buy plainclothes superheros. (nm) - musubi Mar 30, 10:08
- also, it will be very easy to spot the stunt double by the size of her butt. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 09:40 5
  - ooo...looks again. -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 09:40 4
    - the arms as well. Stunt woman is much more developed. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 09:41 3
      - yeah she is. To be honest I noticed the face first -- nm - Remlik Mar 30, 09:42 2
        
        me too, then I looked down. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 09:42 1
        
        and I'm assuming they won't show her face in stunt shots. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 09:42

How does one take a screen cap with WWF? - Mel Profit Mar 30, 09:22 9
- On the iPhone, screen caps are tapping home and power buttons at the same time, fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 09:33 3
  - Interesting. Trying to look that up, it seems like most Androids can't do that without an app. -- nm - mara Mar 30, 09:37 2
    - yep. looks like you need an app. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 30, 09:44 1

  - Don't make me buy a Adrian Gonzalez jersey. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:51 5
    - Don't you dare you SOB, pick a Youk jersey instead. (nm) - musubi Mar 30, 09:52 4
      - Youk is on mine and I like both of them as players....how about I get a Pedroia one? - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:54 3
        
        Deal. Also get a Jon Lester jersey, just in case. (nm) - musubi Mar 30, 09:58 2
        
        I can't...Lester overcame cancer; I'll happily steal a Bucholz jersey though. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:59 1
        
        Excellent thinking, you should get one for every laptop he stole in high school! (nm) - musubi Mar 30, 10:09
- At least Amy K. Nelson and Jerry Crasnick are smart. - David Mar 30, 09:16 6

      - CC -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:20 3
        
        Ah. I stand corrected then. -- nm - David Mar 30, 09:22 2
        
        Granted, after that, it's really not worked for years prior to that - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:23 1
        
        At the time, probably. So, it works about once a decade. -- nm - David Mar 30, 09:25

  - It makes me chuckle that it's pretty clear pitching wins titles yet only like 10% of them pick either the Phillies or the Giants who unquestionably - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:19
  - they'd rather be wrong by a team coming out of nowhere than be wrong by missing the obvious/expected choice. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 09:17 9
    - [deleted] 8
      - also the hegemonic desire to reinforce rather than challenge commonly held cultural ideas. - znufrii Mar 30, 09:21 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        fine - znufrii Mar 30, 09:28 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        It's not like it would even be worth his time - znufrii Mar 30, 09:36
        
        wait did he quit? what? -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 30, 09:29 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        oh ok. I would have to kick his ass. I hate when people I like quit. -- nm - amanda jones, transitarian Mar 30, 09:31

Dawson, I can say that porn really does nothing for me. I just don't bother with it, personally. - Amy Mar 30, 09:11 1
- [deleted]
[deleted] 6
- I find all this porn discussion moot. Who owns physical porn any more? - Mop Mar 30, 09:16 1
  - I do. - Epiphany Mar 30, 09:45
- I don't actively dislike it, I just don't understand the appeal. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 09:11 3
  - I am just curious as to the " whys" people dislike it - besides insecurity issues or religious reasons - I am not speaking of you directly - Epiphany Mar 30, 09:47
  - Yeah, I can close my eyes and come up with hotter porn/fantasy in my imagination. I don't need to watch people doing it. -- nm - ceregon Mar 30, 09:27
  - this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 09:12
Current Earworm: ~I'm addicted and I just can't get enough~ -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 09:09
Another SEC team accused of cheating? I'm shocked. - Strongbad Mar 30, 09:07 11
- What's this now? - musubi Mar 30, 10:13 2
  - 4 players, including 2 on the David National Champs of 2004 say they were given booster money while at Auburn. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:17 1
    - Out of the many teams who paid players that year, Auburn was far and away the best. -- nm - David Mar 30, 10:22
- Right. At a minimum, Auburn deserves the death penalty. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 09:08 7
  - Minimum? What's worse than that? - Strongbad Mar 30, 09:10 6
    - Length of time; 1-2 years vs forever. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 30, 09:12 5
      - The death penalty has really only been used once, on SMU. It changed the nature of that university forever. - Strongbad Mar 30, 09:16 4
        
        Which I'm fine with. Oh, it'll hurt the university....so what....they cheated, repeatedly to get slammed like this....eff em. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:21 3
        
        It would also send a message. I'm not against the idea - Strongbad Mar 30, 09:24 2
        
        ........not seeing the problem here. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 30, 09:27 1
        
        I would take out my direct route to Biloxi or Nawlins, duh. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 30, 09:28
