LYC: Most AMC theaters releasing Bad Teacher (again) Friday to get that $100M, and AMC IMAXs are showing Star Trek, Inception, and Fast Five -- nm - MDH Sep 28, 08:47 1
- The Imax thing would be great! - con_carne Sep 28, 08:57
Missed the pilot, but caught The New Girl last night. I think it's delightful. - con_carne Sep 28, 08:38 33

  - it's probably the only sitcom I've enjoyed in recent years. - decline Sep 28, 08:49
  - Seriously? Have you met ST? -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:49 3
    - the fact that you didn't Mop it all last season means you too are suspect. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:51 2
      - Mop will tell you how good it is. - groiny Sep 28, 08:57
      - i love hilarious breakups. -- nm - colin Sep 28, 08:55
  - Dano and I were both pimping that show hard last season. You weren't paying attention. - musubi Sep 28, 08:48 3
    - I dunno. I think Dano, you, Jax and pippy may be fired. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:49 2
      - Whatever, so long as you recognize my calling of dibs on Shannon Woodward. Also, how did you not notice the praise for Dillahunt's comedic genius? - musubi Sep 28, 08:53 1
        
        Sorry dude...I called dibs about 3 series ago. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:58
  - I only found it a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy I did. It jumped into my top 5 instantly. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:47 4

      - She's wonderful. The casting was well done. My favorite show since Modern Family. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 08:53 1
        
        I still can't believe it's the same Garrett Dillahunt who is the psycho killer from Deadwood. He's great! -- nm - con_carne Sep 28, 08:58
      - who's = whose. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:52

    - *crushed* not you Pippy. no...I don't want to blame you but I will. (spoilers from last night) - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:47 1
      - I was slacking!! - Epiphany Sep 28, 08:49
  - i think its david's fault, honestly. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 28, 08:44 2
    - noted. he's on the list. who else we got? - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:45 1
      - pippy, jaxie, reagun. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 28, 08:46
- I thought the 2nd ep was better than the pilot. -- nm - Ender Sep 28, 08:43
- You.... must have seen a different show than I did last night. - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:40 2
  - re: your IM, like every tv show ever? -- nm - znufrii Sep 28, 08:59

Ah! Speaking of tablets, here's a thread where we wonder if the iPad will be a success -- (link) - Guigue Sep 28, 08:35 [Backboard] 6
- fields is freaking brilliant. -- (link) - amanda jones Sep 28, 08:56 [Backboard]
- I believe my opinion in that thread was accurate, even though it betrayed my wish for iPad to fail miserably :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 28, 08:42
- I don't want to look. I'm sure I was on the wrong side of this. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:38 3
  - You didn't post in the thread. I'd have to look for your announcement of the iPad a few hours later -- nm - Guigue Sep 28, 08:42 2
    - Spock? - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:46 1
      - Actually, I looked and I can't find Mop's post about the original iPad - Guigue Sep 28, 08:49
[deleted] 6
- do it. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 08:58
- I could swear he pitched with us previously... -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:42
- So they can get swept in the first round? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:38 1
  - [deleted]
- $100 billion dollars! -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 28, 08:37 1
  - Ugh, I both put the dollar sign and typed out the word dollars. I guess that's dollars dollars which are better than normal dollars. -- nm - Was Bar Was Sep 28, 08:39
Chris Christie continues to position himself for a run in 2016. - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:29 9
- [deleted] 3
  - Because he's fat and might die before then? - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:39 2
    - Which reminds me, Ann Coulter says she prefers a fat guy to a big-eared bean pole. -- (link) - mara Sep 28, 08:45 1
      - Santa for President! -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:48
- "American exceptionalism isn't a natural state of being or an inheritance -- it is something to which we aspire, and we're presently falling short." - ty97 Sep 28, 08:34 2
  - It's counter to the whole "promised land", "city on a hill" stuff. - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:37
  - that's one of the most refreshing political statements I've heard from that direction recently. -- nm - znufrii Sep 28, 08:35
- I think it's mostly that he doesn't want to take on the Teabaggers but also whoever gets the job is still in for a rough 4 years. - Mel Profit Sep 28, 08:32 1
  - exactly. -- nm - decline Sep 28, 08:34
Google Offer with $5 Fandango tix -- (link) - budice Sep 28, 08:25 1
- Thanks! -- nm - MDH Sep 28, 08:36
loosi, you needed something? -- nm - colin Sep 28, 08:24 8
- we were discussing which hops to use for an American red ale. I think we're going with 1 oz each of Cascade and Willamette. - loosilu Sep 28, 08:35 4
  - kinda depends on what you're looking for... for an american red, i'd just use cascade only (looove cascade). - colin Sep 28, 08:48 3
    - don't know the hop times, I'm not the brewer. I'm just the taster. We already went back and forth considerably on the hops. - loosilu Sep 28, 08:56 1
      - are you wanting any bitter, since both are kind of low in alpha acid %? - colin Sep 28, 09:00
    - related.. just started dry hopping my IPA... 4 ounces Cascade leaf, 2 of Kent Gouldings - colin Sep 28, 08:51
- Wow...talk about low hanging fruit. -- nm - Jim Sep 28, 08:25 1
  - she needs Mel's nuts? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:25
- lobotomy? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:24
Jesus, Amazon. $199?! -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:23 8
- [deleted] 5
  - Is this a bit? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:30 4
    - Go with it. It's still funny. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:30 3
      - Neither your bit or the responses has been funny for a *loooooooong* time. (nm) - musubi Sep 28, 08:50 1
        
        fact. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 08:57
      - heh. I had not noticed that TFox ran with it, as well. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:32
- also 10" version coming early next year. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 28, 08:26 1
  - Yeah, we all figured that. Amazon did this to get their feet wet before Christmas. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:28
LYC: I was wrong about Person of Interest yesterday and ST was right. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:19 2
- I think the fiction of it is clear. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 08:36 1
  - I made a big deal out of nothing. *shrug* -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 08:50
Are the movie theaters in Times Square nice? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:18 24
- I much preferred the cluster @ 68th & B'Way -- always great... - OAE Sep 28, 08:45
- Kips Bay is my favorite, but they're good -- nm - CQ Sep 28, 08:22 1
  - [deleted]
- I honestly never went. I usually went to Union Square. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 08:21
- the AMC was okay until it got bedbugs. -- nm - Diva Sep 28, 08:21 5
  - I feel like I read about that in almost every theater now. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:22 1
    - that place in Park Slope is so nasty, it probably has wombats by now. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 08:36
  - [deleted] 2
    - i was vbeing somewhat facetious. -- nm - Diva Sep 28, 08:25 1
      - [deleted]
- Yes, the theater I go to most in Manhattan is in Times Sq. -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 08:20
- [deleted] 12
  - It's literally impossible to get a ticket on opening night unless you buy it in advance. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 08:22 3
    - So, no residents go there? - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:26 2
      - and the opening night ticket thing is all over Manhattan. -- nm - loosilu Sep 28, 08:38
      - heh. I have no clue about the theater. I just walked through the place while commuting. - loosilu Sep 28, 08:37
  - i rmember seeing those routine in the top 10 in attendance for any given weekend -- nm - budice Sep 28, 08:21 7
    - You know, I wonder how that new Regal cinema at LA Live is doing. - con_carne Sep 28, 08:28 5
      - [deleted] 2
        
        (Also, I guess it's not so "new" anymore... it opened when This Is It came out.) -- nm - con_carne Sep 28, 08:37
        
        I like the "Director's Hall" or whatever they call the big room there well enough. Try to catch a movie there. I'll be going back. -- nm - con_carne Sep 28, 08:34
      - not too well, if nobody goes inside. -- nm - colin Sep 28, 08:28 1
        
        On that note, I am a bit amazed at how awkwardly placed their box office/movie times sign are. - con_carne Sep 28, 08:44
    - Regal Atlantic Station (atlanta) and the Time Square Regal were always very close in highest BO. - colin Sep 28, 08:23

see, if the White Sox and Cubs were in the playoffs, I would be rooting for the Cubs to make it - groiny Sep 28, 08:16 30
- [deleted] 27
  - and I have been hearing the Cubs shit for my entire life, with the Sox being the little sisters - groiny Sep 28, 08:24
  - the original post, which I quoted, was he wanted Boston to win because they are sucking. - groiny Sep 28, 08:22 25
    - [deleted] 24
      - and, as any baseball person will tell you, the playoffs are all about who is hot going in. - groiny Sep 28, 08:31 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        sure, it CAN happen, but it is not as likely. - groiny Sep 28, 08:39 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        it absolutely is my point. - groiny Sep 28, 08:42 2

        07 Rockies were lights out for a month to get there - groiny Sep 28, 08:50
      - Detroit and Tampa have been playing the best baseball out of the 4 playoff teams in the AL - groiny Sep 28, 08:30 16
        
        [deleted] 15
        
        on August 1, Tampa was 10 games out of first, which Boston was in possession of. - groiny Sep 28, 08:37
        
        August and September, Tampa Bay has been the best team in the AL East. - groiny Sep 28, 08:35 13
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        you can't just take out those games and ignore them. - groiny Sep 28, 08:41 11
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        Jesus Christ...will you 2 just fuck and get it over with already! -- nm - Jim Sep 28, 08:47 3
        
        groiny is all coy with him in person. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 28, 08:49 2
        
        he would not argue with me like this in person for fear I would blow a gasket - groiny Sep 28, 08:53 1

        znufrii's brilliant idea, baseball stats edition - znufrii Sep 28, 08:47 5
        
        I am the biggest stat nerd here, and i think that's nonsense mumbo jumbo. (nm) - musubi Sep 28, 08:55
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        I can agree with you on this one!!!! nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:53 2
        
        pleasure to serve! :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 28, 08:54 1
        
        good, go get me a margarita. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:55
- I could only dream of that kind of pain to inflict on a fan base. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:17 1
  - Man, you had me scared going into the IM. - spamlet (iPhone) Sep 28, 08:53
Fascinating. the Amazon Silk brower leverages Amazon's EC2 to do some of the work -- nm - decline Sep 28, 08:14 9
- the more i think about this, while the Fire is a shot at apple (for the clooud/music/video) it is a kick into the guts for all other android tablet - tRuMaN Sep 28, 08:19 5
  - Scoble says this is good for all android because it will jumpstart android tablet apps. -- nm - psilotum Sep 28, 08:27 3
    - That's a fair assessment. No analyst is saying that the Kindle Fire is an iPad killer. But it's still going to sell like mad. - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:34 2
      - The biggest concern overall for this tablet is Android itself. It is inherently more unstable than iOS for me and that's the kicker with the apps - oblique Sep 28, 08:38 1
        
        well, sure, but doesnt amazon supposedly test all the apps in its app store for crashing problems? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 28, 08:46
  - It's a poke at Google, too. They've forked Android to high heaven. - Mop (194 lbs) Sep 28, 08:27
- Isn't that how Opera Mobile works too (without EC2) -- nm - oblique Sep 28, 08:14 2
  - I bet they are very similar. Use the servers to get the page, compress it and send to mobile device. EC2 is a bit bigger than Opera's servers I would - decline Sep 28, 08:18 1
    - ec2 will also change the resolution on photos, to take up less bandwidth (I guess thats a form of compression) but they make that - tRuMaN Sep 28, 08:20
