I re-watched Philosopher's Stone (Sorceror's Stone) this weekend and I was shocked by how much it wasn't good. - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 20, 11:19 8
- It was good when it was first released, but it doesn't hold up well compared to later years. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 20, 11:26 2
  - i thought it was a great beginning at the time, but i thought the quidditch cgi was pretty lacking. the rest i thought was very much 'setting thes - Andie Jun 20, 11:28 1
    - The quidditch players looked more like rag dolls than people. -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 11:32

- I've said for a while the most impressive thing about the Potter movies was that they survived Columbus. - Ender Jun 20, 11:22 3
  - I don't mind Columbus at all. He did some great necessary work that set the stage for the other directors. - crash davis Jun 20, 11:25 2
    - Hogwarts was redesigned after Columbus's films. But I'll grant him that visually, he was spot on. - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 20, 11:27 1
      - Well yeah, production, casting and digital effects are things that would be done by other people - con_carne Jun 20, 11:31

Joffrey sucks -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 11:07 6
- It's funny. I've read all 4 books and I have no clue what happens to him. -- nm - TWuG Jun 20, 11:09 5
  - I read from a spoiler site (spoils) - crash davis Jun 20, 11:11 4
    - (major spoils) - decline Jun 20, 11:17
    - That sounds right. -- nm - TWuG Jun 20, 11:12 2
      - normally I hate spoilers and avoid them, but I broke down 1/2 through this show - it really appealed to me -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 11:13 1
        
        i did the same thing. -- nm - Diva Jun 20, 11:25

- so he's a Dharma Bum then -- nm - moles Jun 20, 11:19
- No worse than a 45-year old man with a 20-year old woman. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 20, 11:18 11
  - Actually, considering she's not legal at age 16...I'd say it is worse. -- nm - Jim Jun 20, 11:30 1
    - depends on the state. -- nm - sycor Jun 20, 11:32
  - I would say it is, and I can't really back it up. Just gut feeling -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 11:19 4
    - I found that as soon as I hit 27 or 28 I started judging pretty harshly any 30+ year old guy dating a 20-22 year old. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 20, 11:24 3
      - still 20 seems a heck of a lot better than 16 -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 11:26 2
        
        yes, it really does. 16 is barely not-a-kid. -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 11:27 1
        
        Again, that's how much I put on the realitivaly "acceptable" age gap just a few years older. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 20, 11:29
  - Don't ruin my plans for 2015. -- nm - David Jun 20, 11:19 3
    - Realistically though in the south, the 20 year old is past her expiration date... - Will Hunting Jun 20, 11:19 2
      - Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa, where the age of consent is still 14. -- nm - iNubby 4 Jun 20, 11:23
      - and already has three kids and two ex-husbands -- nm - David Jun 20, 11:21
- She's 16? I feel like Mark Wahlberg in The Other Guys.."no really, who is she?" -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 11:15 7
  - +5 crash points to Will -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 11:15
  - that's perfect. - Mel Profit Jun 20, 11:15 5
    - It's the makeup, imo. I bet if you took off the weathered, leather look, she seem way more like a teenager. -- nm - Inigo Jun 20, 11:17 3
      - maybe if she didn't have insane breast implants. -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 11:18 1
        
        Right, those are...extreme. I like that she's wearing a "yes, they're real" shirt in one pic. Riiiiight. -- nm - Inigo Jun 20, 11:19
      - Burlap, by Estee Lauder. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 11:18
    - she looks like Shauna Sands pre surgeries + 32 y/o -- nm - Epiphany Jun 20, 11:16

  - You may now motorboat the bride -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 11:14
- Andi, I agree - did they get the right photo to go with the story? -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 11:10 1
  - I google imaged him, and that does seem to be a picture of him. - Stephen Jun 20, 11:16
- Why would there be something "fishy" about their marriage, according to the article? -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 11:09 6
  - publicity stunt -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 11:10 5
    - But the site that's exclusively publicizing is the same network that would be likely to give them a reality show - ty97 Jun 20, 11:11 3
      - Venn Diagram Man would suggest your statement and Andie's are not mutually exclusive -- nm - con_carne Jun 20, 11:13 1
        
        right, you position it with an angle and other news outlets pick it up. -- nm - Andie Jun 20, 11:16
      - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Jun 20, 11:12
    - Or the always popular "statutory rape". -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 11:11

- "Boss Percy bad. He mean. He stepped on Del's mouse. I took it back though." -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 11:08
- I do like how the story implies she married him to try to break into country. Because an barely known character actor totally helps with that? -- nm - ty97 Jun 20, 11:07 5
  - they're in the news right now, right? -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 11:09 4
    - If you consider the Kadarshinews network to be news, I guess. -- nm - ty97 Jun 20, 11:10 3
      - look up how much money the K clan is making and then get back to me. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 11:12 2
        
        So being rich makes them news? Noted. -- nm - ty97 Jun 20, 11:13 1
        
        sort of. also, people talking about it makes it news....nm - x Jun 20, 11:16
- Poseur -- nm - Bill Wyman Jun 20, 11:07
- She does *not* look 16 -- nm - oblique Jun 20, 11:06 7
  - I think she is using the Catherine Zeta Jones birthday calendar - no way in HELL she is 16 -- nm - Epiphany Jun 20, 11:15
  - did you click through to her page ? i can't believe she's 16. on the other hand, lying about being 16 isn't so smart when you are marrying a 51yo.LINK -- (link) - Andie Jun 20, 11:10 3
    - Is there a line of makeup that makes you look like Lindsay Lohan's mom? That's just really unattractive. -- nm - Inigo Jun 20, 11:15
    - Boy, it's all about her chest, isn't it? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Jun 20, 11:13
    - dang. (i wouldn't say this is definitively NSFW, but the picture at the bottom of the page is unlikely to be confused for something work-related.) -- nm - TFox Jun 20, 11:11
  - she really doesn't, but I'd want to see what she looks like in normal clothes. That said, they must have started dating when she was 15 or younger? - loosilu Jun 20, 11:08
  - If a woman tells you she's 20, and looks 16 - she's 12 If she tells you she's 26 and LOOKS 26 - she's damn near 40! -- nm - No Sex in the Champange Room Jun 20, 11:08
- In theory, I agree. In reality, I find it creepy. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 11:06
- I can't imagine even dating an 18-year old and I'm only 36. And did her parents have to sign off on this? - ty97 Jun 20, 11:05
- "Which guy from the Green Mi.... oh, that one. Obviously." -- nm - TFox Jun 20, 11:05
WTF is wrong with people? -- (link) - znufrii Jun 20, 11:03 2
- I know! Naming your kid Chasity? -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 11:06 1

"Either I'm psychic, I suffer from a deja vu, OR this "ugly people kicked off site" outrage has happened before. -- nm - ty97 Jun 20, 10:52 23
- personally, I say live by the shallow sword, die by the shallow sword. -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 10:57 8
  - Are you saying we should kill all pretty people? -- nm - Ender Jun 20, 10:58 2
    - it's the only reasonable reading of my post. -- nm - Reagen Jun 20, 10:58 1

    - Death by snapsite. -- nm - ty97 Jun 20, 10:58 2
      - a deep sword, indeed. -- nm - TFox Jun 20, 10:59 1

- wasn't there a site for good looking people that booted members off for gaining wieght? -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 10:53 7
  - I bet that Victoria's Secret site would do that. -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:55
  - same site...nm - x Jun 20, 10:54 3
    - I almost admire them for their shamelessness. -- nm - loosilu Jun 20, 10:55

pfm, I read an interview with the showrunner last night which stated they locked into this finale pre-renewal so (spoilers) - ty97 Jun 20, 10:51 3
- Knowing that, I'd be even more pissed if I'd invested any time. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 20, 10:54
- that's interesting.....but - prayformojo Jun 20, 10:53 1
  - The vibe I get from the showrunner is that they would not have not done that. - ty97 Jun 20, 11:03

Grade the Game of Thrones finale. - Dignan Jun 20, 10:46 15
- Definitely an A. If I could choose to wait another year for new True Blood, Dexter, & Boardwalk seasons but get season 2 GoT now? I would in a second. - Jovian Jun 20, 11:04
- I give it an A. They faithfully followed the plot and setups Martin had in the first book without bogging down in the minutiae he had - while not - decline Jun 20, 10:51
- A+ -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:50 1
  - the ending shot was magnificent -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:52
- 2 episodes too short and the budget is too small. The books are epic in scope and the TV show is much more focused. B+ for the TV show. -- nm - TWuG Jun 20, 10:50
- The finale is a B and so is the season. There has been a lot of table setting but not enough action. -- nm - David Jun 20, 10:49 9
  - This is what I'd give it and why. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 20, 10:50 8
    - they don't have the budget for massive battles -- nm - crash davis Jun 20, 10:51 7
      - that was pretty clear and that's Ok. At this point unless you're Peter Jackson you're going to fall short. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 20, 10:58 6
        
        I think Rome was a template "We're HBO. We can't afford big battles, so in the meantime, here are some breasts" - crash davis Jun 20, 11:00 5
        
        good point. the one flaw in that show was the lack of battles. - Mel Profit Jun 20, 11:11 4
