- I've only seen the movie. I totally didn't remember that it was based on a graphic novel until just now; it is VASTLY superior to 300. - Beryllium Jan 4, 00:55
- I really liked both. and there are 2 follow up books as well. -- nm - Remlik Jan 3, 23:03
- never read the book but the movie is criminally underrated -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 22:50 5
  - if they had released it at award season that year instead of the middle of the summer, it would have contended much stronger -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 22:51 4

This Garmin nuvifone looks pretty slick, if it actually works like the commercial shows it working. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 3, 21:39 5
- freakin' scary. I was just telling a friend that they will soon have the capability to send coordinates from phone to phone and connect people w/ gps - CrankYanker Jan 3, 22:47
- what a terrible commercial. I'd get one if it was an actual proper gps (like with an interface like other garmin gps). I fear it'll be dumbed down. -- nm - mafic Jan 3, 21:54 1
  - Agreed, it's a terrible "commercial," but I like the fluidity of phone -> camera -> gps -> web apps. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 3, 22:02

    - The problem that wasn't solved, I think... - second gary Jan 3, 23:11
    - I think it's the second half that makes it a better than average more than just a run of the mill superhero movie -- nm - Stephen Jan 3, 21:57
    - word. Top 5 for the year. - Spawn Jan 3, 21:52
  - Ding! -- nm - Qale Jan 3, 21:41

- Darren Sproles just ripped off another 20 yard run on 3rd and 11 -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 21:32 4
  - and the colts were called for a penalty on the play. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 3, 21:38
  - You are weak. The correct response would have been their kicker pinning us inside the 5. - Spawn Jan 3, 21:38 2
    - i'm only surprised you stopped them 6 times on 3rd down -- nm - pigby Jan 3, 21:47 1
      - Sproles handling the ball 35 times is unreal. -- nm - Spawn Jan 3, 21:54
Two things I verified tonight: (a) Jennifer Aniston is so hot I didn't even consider crying during Marley & Me, and - JaxSean Jan 3, 21:30 5

- did you get an xbox? -- nm - J Jan 3, 21:37 3
  - No, nephew has it and I played for about 30 minutes. - JaxSean Jan 3, 21:38 2
    - ya it's almost pointless to fight until you get the hang of it -- nm - J Jan 3, 21:40 1
      - He let me get the hang of it in some practice area for about 15 minutes. - JaxSean Jan 3, 21:43
Let's hope that the home dogs all got it out of their system today. -- nm - Dano Jan 3, 21:13
