someone hug David. -- nm - ty97 Jan 3, 16:12 4
- Honestly, if in August you told David the Falcons were going to lose in the playoffs, he'd probably be okay with that. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:19 2
  - to an 8-8 team in the league's crappiest division? -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 16:20 1
    - Considering the Falcons are the Falcons, I'd expect him to know that would happen and still be okay with it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:22

  - I dont think Hamas has nukes. -- nm - Guy Jan 3, 16:35
- I suspect this is about destroying Hamas hard-liners, leaving behind a group that is willing to negotiate with Israel -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:07 1
  - There's also an election in February, which may have something to do with the timing -- nm - Roger More Jan 3, 16:13

without looking it up, i have no idea what the name of either altanta's or arizona's coach is -- nm - prayformojo Jan 3, 15:34 1

    - ugg, sorry, it was the only copy the store had. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 3, 15:59
- It's an innovation on the level of Wolfenstein or World of Warcraft - Stewie Jan 3, 15:27 1
  - also, what suprised me - tRuMaN Jan 3, 15:31
- I don't have a soul, so I should assume I won't like littlebigplanet? -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 15:21 1
  - no, I think it can redeem the soul-less and allow them to leave - tRuMaN Jan 3, 15:22
Matt fucking Millen? Really NBC? What a fucking joke. -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 15:08 2

  - When they meed the 3-titted chick from Total Recall. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:20
  - They've barely covered the distance to the corner market at this point. Plenty left to explore. -- nm - TWuG Jan 3, 14:54
Oh, Roddy! -- nm - nubby Jan 3, 14:37 1

According to the Kennexa typing test I just took, I type 98 wpm with an error rate of zero errors per minute. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 14:33 2
- 71 words per minute at 97% accuracy, using TypingTest.com. Damn, I'm rusty. I used to do 120 wpm. -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 14:46 1
  - At my height in graduate school and law school, I could easily manage 112 wpm with near-zero error rate. - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 14:48
Landmark Bethesda has sold out almost every showtime of all their movies it appears for the past few days - MDH Jan 3, 14:31
Does anyone think WALL-E will get a B est Picture nod? Every freakin' "Best Of" list I see has it in the top 5 it seems. -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 14:31 24
- No, they've done better and been overlooked for it -- nm - Stewie Jan 3, 14:52
- Not a chance. Unworthy. Trite, cliched story makes it so. -- nm - TWuG Jan 3, 14:40 6
  - I just don't see it. Easliy my favorite film of the year. Easily. -- nm - Jim Jan 3, 15:10
  - I thought it was cute, but not much more. Preachy too. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 3, 14:56 1
    - Exactly. -- nm - TWuG Jan 3, 15:00
  - Cuzzin Todd? :) -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:47 2
    - I enjoyed the film, but it's the least of Pixar's efforts due to poor writing of the B-story. -- nm - TWuG Jan 3, 14:49 1
      - hahahahaha -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 14:57
- I still don't think it will. Nominating it for BP would make the Animated category obsolete and redundant -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:39 12
  - So they should change the name of the Best Picture category to Best Live Action Narrative Feature. -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 14:50
  - no more than nominating Life is Beautiful for Best Pic made Best Foreign Language Film obsolete and redundant -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 14:42 2
    - Sure it did... because if it was good enough to be BP, then it would win Foreign Language automatically (which it did) - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:45 1
      - Becuase 99% of the time, the Best Animated movie isn't good enough to reach Best Picture status, just like 95% of the time Best Foreign isn't - Will Hunting Jan 3, 16:21
  - Just like Beauty and the Beast did. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 14:41 7
    - Did the Best Animated category exist then? I can't recall when it was introduced. -- nm - TWuG Jan 3, 14:42 1
      - No, it didn't. That's my point. I do think that Stanton should get nominated for Director - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:46
    - Oh wait, there wasn't one then. Even still, I think this is a dumb reason. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 14:42 4
      - It's already guaranteed to win an Oscar... why knock another worthy candidate out of the category? -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:47 3
        
        I dislike the Animated category because it treats animation as a genre. It's akin to having a Best Gangster Film Oscar. Either an - TWuG Jan 3, 14:53 1
        
        No, that's a good point but there's an entirely different technique for production when making an animated film that doesn't apply for live action - secretslacker Jan 3, 15:03
        
        Because they aren't as worthy as Wall-E. You are advocating the Special Olympics Oscars. - TFox Jan 3, 14:48
- It definitely should, but it probably won't. - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 14:35
- should but won't -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 14:32
- I do. Strongly. -- nm - TFox Jan 3, 14:31
ROD TIDWELL! -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 14:31
The new Dr. Who is just *slightly* this side of Russell Brand. BBC is playing with fire. -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 14:29 2
- how so? Brand is a comedian, is this guy? -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 14:31 1
  - Remlik's post on B2 called the guy a "comic"... HEY! You're Remlik! Anyway, I was going on looks alone. -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 14:34
Teddy Atlas on Brett Favre: "he's a selfish guy" -- (link) - Beaker Jan 3, 14:27 1
- *insert inappropriate gay joke here* -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 14:30
Which would be a better movie for 7, 12, and 13-year olds: Marley & Me or The Day the Earth Stood Still? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 3, 14:12 16
- Hm... MARLY might be safest though the 13 year old boy won't be happy -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 14:37 2
  - If the movies are playing in the same cineplex, and if the kid is trustworthy and responsible enough, he could go to TDESS while the rest saw MARLY. - ReluctantCynic Jan 3, 14:47 1
    - ..or he can go see The Spirit! It needs the money! :) -- nm - secretslacker Jan 3, 15:22
- This might help -- (link) - the liioulu with less phlegm Jan 3, 14:28
- There has been some debate on wether Marley is appropriate for kids. (spoils) - the liioulu with less phlegm Jan 3, 14:21 2
  - so it's exactly like real life -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 14:22 1
    - people don't go to movies for real life! -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 14:25
- Oddly, 2 of them want to see Benjamin Buttons. Is that going to bore them? - JaxSean Jan 3, 14:18 3
  - It's 3 hours. -- nm - jnine Jan 3, 14:21 2
    - It might bore the adults. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with less phlegm Jan 3, 14:22 1
      - Benjamin "hit the snooze" Button -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 14:23
- Boys or girls? Marley & Me for sure if it's girls. The 7-year-old (boy or girl) will not enjoy TDTESS, I think. -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 14:18 3
  - 7 (girl), 12 (girl), 13 (boy). -- nm - JaxSean Jan 3, 14:18 2
    - Is it a date? -- nm - My Bloody Danotine 3D Jan 3, 14:20 1
      - No, my girls and my nephew. sudden "babysitting" duty tonight. - JaxSean Jan 3, 14:22
- i would think Marley - pigby Jan 3, 14:17

  - Yeah. I think my Mom and my Grandmother are going to be getting Amazon gift cards soon. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 3, 14:19
So how pissed off am I? At the old place we had AT&T U-Verse and loved it, but were told by AT&T that it wasn't available at the new place. - Stephen Jan 3, 13:54 7
- This is where you call AT&T, get a supervisor on the line and tell them they lost your business because of what a CSR told you. Get them to cover - TWuG Jan 3, 14:27 2
  - This is exactly what i'm going to do. I mean, I liked the idea of getting the NFL package next year, but that's really the only selling point of - Stephen Jan 3, 14:40
  - Oh, I like this. TV companies like to steal customers and are often willing to pay termination fees. -- nm - Mop Jan 3, 14:32
- I'm sorry to hear that, but I can state with certainty that you can never trust what the CSR on the phone tells you when it comes to TV service. - Mop Jan 3, 14:16
- Muahahahah! -- nm - Undercover Comcast Agent Working at AT&T Jan 3, 13:56 2
  - I'd rather go with rabbit ears then go through Comcast again. -- nm - Stephen Jan 3, 13:57 1
    - I've never had a problem with Comcast (except for the moving of channels.) -- nm - JaxSean Jan 3, 14:20

  - it was a good throw and catch -- nm - Gwaahjo Jan 3, 13:50
Hmm, that's odd. They only have the first half of Season One on Netflix Watch Now. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 3, 13:43 1
