Thx to whoever posted whenever it was that Family Ties is on Netflix Streaming. That's Heather's favorite show - prayformojo May 23, 08:28
Poll(ish): Have a community question. Need help picking the perfect movie (details inside) - Capstern May 23, 08:23 21
- Avatar or something from Pixar. Their Blu-ray transfers are stellar -- nm - oblique May 23, 08:40
- Robert Heron at Tekzilla/HD Nation uses the Fifth Element as a reference disc. Matrix should be awesome, though. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) May 23, 08:37
- Gladiator, Spiderman 2, Avatar, Grindhouse, Top Gun -- nm - Hotkiss May 23, 08:37 3
  - Its funny Top Gun flight scenes have totally come up as a good test (if there is a good blue ray version) and aslo car chase from Bad Boys 2 -- nm - Capstern May 23, 08:42 1
    - I watched a remastered version of Top Gun yesterday which gave me the idea. The flight scenes are beautiful -- nm - Hotkiss May 23, 08:45
  - *blank stare* nm -- nm - groiny May 23, 08:37
- Avatar, The Matrix, The Incredibles. -- nm - Don Homer May 23, 08:36
- for some reason Black Hawk Down comes to mind -- nm - Epiphany May 23, 08:35 6
  - man meat movies? ALso, 300, Troy, Legends of the Fall. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:36 3
    - why would Cappy want to see man meat? nm -- nm - groiny May 23, 08:37 2
      - who cares? i'm helping out Pippy. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:38 1
        
        thank you - I was like " oh god yes - I have to watch Troy again!" - Epiphany May 23, 08:39
  - You are expected to be there for the test drive of the thing BTW :) -- nm - Capstern May 23, 08:36 1
    - kay -- nm - Epiphany May 23, 08:50
- transformers, maybe iron man, 300, dark knight -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:30 1
  - revised. Transformers (1 or 2), any recent digital animated movies (how to train, despicable me, etc). dark knight. -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:34
- Transformers, The Dark Knight, 300 -- nm - con_carne May 23, 08:29 2
  - Transformers did come to mind originally. Someone suggested T2 but dont know that holds up vs some of todays movies - Capstern May 23, 08:33 1
    - You'd have to go with a newer movie than T2 or even Jurassic Park. They were at the dawn of digital effects. Very raw compared to today. - Mop (209 lbs) May 23, 08:38
- Goundhog Day -- nm - mara May 23, 08:25 1
  - heh well nice but dont think it will stress test the abilities of the TV :) -- nm - Capstern May 23, 08:27

Happy birthday, Remlik and RC! Have a great day guys! -- nm - Krusty May 23, 08:17 5
- I love my new Happy Birthday widget on Facebook. I wonder how much chaos I can cause with it. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) May 23, 08:32
- they should negotiate a hair-share plan. - loosilu May 23, 08:19 3
  - styling or replacement -- nm - Capstern May 23, 08:24 2
    - Mutual back shaving. -- nm - Mop (209 lbs) May 23, 08:28
    - Or Medi-Spa! -- nm - Anthony from Jerseylicious May 23, 08:25
I'm watching the Today show and Tim Pawlenty just paraphrased President Andrew Sheppard - Winter is Coming May 23, 08:11 1
- I saw that live and rolled my eyes. if he's somehow elected, he'll try to be funny at the WHCD. -- nm - Reagen May 23, 08:30
Pirates 4: (D) nm - Dignan May 23, 08:09 6
- I gave it a C. Was worth the 5$ I spent to see it but was not special in any sense at all -- nm - Capstern May 23, 08:24
- C+ from me. "Disney 3-D" gets an F. The 3-D craze continues to be box office ripoff -- nm - flavorize May 23, 08:24
- what?? -- nm - amanda jones May 23, 08:09 3
  - What what? nm - Dignan May 23, 08:17
  - I figured the mermaids alone would get him going. nm -- nm - groiny May 23, 08:10 1
    - Didn't feature Guy as a mermaid -- nm - budice May 23, 08:24
I am awed that a quick weather event like a tornado can kill 89 people. Contrarily, I'm amazed it's only 89 looking at the damage. -- nm - ty97 May 23, 08:09 33
- I can't fathom how I'd feel seeing a toronado 4 miles wide - it just seems impossible. -- nm - Ain't Nothin' Sadder Than A Dead Hen May 23, 08:37 1
  - ? sounds like it was a mile wide, not four. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:40
- BBC has a slide-show of the devastation. The last one mentions a "door-to-door search". WHAT door? -- (link) - Mop (209 lbs) May 23, 08:30
- this isn't even the biggest of the year so far though, is it? (when does tornado season end?) -- nm - amanda jones May 23, 08:21 23
  - In the south, it doesn't end. Tornados are possible whenever thunderstorms are possible. -- nm - mara May 23, 08:26 2
    - well, same here (not technically in the south though) -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:28 1
      - We had a tornado warning when I was there for Christmas a couple of years back - that somehow surprised me. -- nm - MojaveMeg May 23, 08:31
  - I don't know if there's a specific tornado season like there is for hurricanes, but Spring is definitely the worst time for tornadoes. - ty97 May 23, 08:25 1
    - feb to oct really, though possible any time. -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:26
  - I think the biggest in casualties was Tuscaloosa, but this one is up there. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:23 1
    - I take that back. Tuscaloosa was 36 dead. still horrible. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:24
  - in terms of Dead, its the biggest in a long time, like decades I think. in terms of damage costs, dont know yet. - tRuMaN May 23, 08:22 15
    - The previous worst may have been Flint Michigan in June 1953 (115 dead). The month before that: 114 in Waco. -- (link) - ty97 May 23, 08:30
    - is it really? I thought more died a few weeks ago. (I've become totally desensitized to tornados.) -- nm - amanda jones May 23, 08:24 13
      - Wow. The Jarrel was only ("only") 27 deaths. And that one was massive. -- nm - ty97 May 23, 08:27 9
        
        I guess warning systems work pretty well. The Telegraph (UK) has helpfully provided a list of the deadliest tornados of all time. -- (link) - loosilu May 23, 08:30 8
        
        yeah joplin will be an outlier because of what it hit (the hospital) -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:32 7
        
        The hospital reports are confusing. They don't actually say anyone died there, and when talking of damage, the only specifics are blown-out windows. -- nm - mara May 23, 08:34 6
        
        Thankfully, they had the 20 minutes of tornado siren warning and the hospital moved people to hallways. - ty97 May 23, 08:37 1
        
        they got people out of the parking lot, as well, I heard. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:39
        
        yeah, that seems to be a problem - tRuMaN May 23, 08:35 2
        
        Oh, sure. I'm just confused about whether the building was "demolished" and whether it accounts for the a significant part of the death toll. -- nm - mara May 23, 08:37 1
        
        if you look at the helicopter pictures, the bulding seems to be structurally intact. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:37
        
        that's what I heard on the radio this morning. They had a spokeswoman on. The hospital will have to be evaced for sure. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:35
      - apparently what happened a couple of weeks ago was a massive outbreak, not a single twister. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:25 2
        
        aha. so I was right, but wrong. cool. -- nm - amanda jones May 23, 08:29
        
        ayup -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:26
- It may well be more. -- nm - mara May 23, 08:14 5
  - True, I hope not but I guess it makes sense. The pictures are just crazy. -- nm - ty97 May 23, 08:16 4
    - yep. the trees stripped of their bark are ... wow. -- nm - loosilu May 23, 08:19 3
      - The wrecked cars piled on top of each other next to the windowless hospital is getting me. -- nm - ty97 May 23, 08:23 1
        
        this article has some recounts from those inside the hospital -- (link) - tRuMaN May 23, 08:29
      - wind + small debris + more wind = natural sand blaster -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:21
More LED HDTV: So I can get a Samsung or Sony for the same price as the Vizio with apps. I'd semi-prefer to buy a slightly cheaper TV and buy a - oblique May 23, 08:05 5
- I am no more a Sony fan than ever (see post a little farther up) but yeah go with whats on sale they are comprable. - Capstern May 23, 08:26
- I've had both a Sony and a Samsung. both excellent quality. Go with the one on sale. -- nm - decline May 23, 08:09 1
  - SPDA: my last tv was a samsung. the picture quality was stunning. it died after three years. - amanda jones May 23, 08:11
- cheap bastard. nm -- nm - groiny May 23, 08:08
- from what I can tell, it totally depends on the model line of the tv. -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:07
I wish there was a good way to tell your boss you need to go home a take a nap without it sounding bad. - kelly May 23, 08:04 1

- Both hens, I assume? - kelly May 23, 08:05 10
  - Unfortunately yes. Here's the full FB post - ty97 May 23, 08:06 9
    - This game has too much random luck and groupthink for me to play again. - Strongbad May 23, 08:20 3
      - The way to think of it is not "i have to survive to win." - TFox May 23, 08:40 1
        
        Right. - Kim Pine May 23, 08:41
      - I can agree with the groupthink bit -- nm - tRuMaN May 23, 08:30
    - Who's left? -- nm - mara May 23, 08:15 2
