Do they do musicals (Lion King, Wicked, etc.) in Los Angeles? -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Oct 17, 13:20 4
- Pantages and the Music Center (Chandler Pavilion, Mark Taper Forum) are the big, mainstreamish places for musicals. - con_carnage Oct 17, 13:35
- I'm 99% sure Wicked has a permanent show in LA -- nm - MDH Oct 17, 13:25

        I think the Dems need to stop acting like they are 3 or 4 parties that barely get along. - TWuG Oct 17, 13:42
    - The Dems might want to point out that so far most of the Reps economic plans pretty much hinge on making everyone who isn't a millionaire pay more tax - the liioulu with Oct 17, 13:35 1
      - Yet for some reason the "53%" seem proud of that fact. - Trish Oct 17, 13:44
a wedding is just a party to celebrate the moment, so think about what you would normally do for a family gathering and sure step it up a notch but.. - zeitgeist Oct 17, 13:18
the Van Gogh episode was ok bordering on boring UNTIL the end with Bill Nighy then it became an A+ episode.... -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 13:11 22
- He was perfect for the role -- nm - amoxy Oct 17, 13:35
- his part was great. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:29
- That was the episode that the Tardis' accent default was English. - the liioulu with Oct 17, 13:29
- That ep was never boring to me, it grabbed me right off. (And David, I've kept The Girl in the Fireplace in perpetuity on the bedroom dvr) - Trish Oct 17, 13:27 1
  - I can see that. -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 13:33
- it's one of my favorites ever. I had my mom watch it; and she really liked it, too. - b. Oct 17, 13:14 1
  - in no way did I expect it to be a documentary. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:31
- If Loosi says something negative about Girl in the Fireplace, I'm throwing a yeti at her. -- nm - David Oct 17, 13:12 4
  - that's another in my top 5, if not top 3... -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:40

- thank you. -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:11 9
  - what really nailed me on that episode - Remlik Oct 17, 13:21 8
    - I think my problem is that they played Van Gogh as passive and sweet. but the energy from his paintings is frantic. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:34 7
      - He was bi-polar/manic-depressive. He wasn't ALWAYS frantic. In fact the episode opens with him (spoils) - TWuG Oct 17, 13:40 6
        
        When you know a famous artist well, you feel you know things about their personality. Like with musicians. I would not expect Sid Vicious - loosilu Oct 17, 13:43 4
        
        he's been a favorite of mine since childhood, and I probably know more about him than any other artist. it felt fine to me. - b. Oct 17, 13:48
        
        You saw 3 days of his life in the episode. You're telling me the guy you know didn't have 3 days where he wasn't a complete manic obsessive asshat? -- nm - TWuG Oct 17, 13:45 2
        
        you win. Everything about hte episode was perfect. -- nm - loosilu Oct 17, 13:47 1
        
        oh, I see. nevermind. -- nm - b. Oct 17, 13:49
        
        right, he wasn't passive and sweet throughout. -- nm - b. Oct 17, 13:42
Steve Jobs' estate just got a little bit richer. - David Oct 17, 13:10 2

But, see, weddings really *aren't* about the families. - kelly Oct 17, 13:10 2
- In one friend's case she looked at it as her gift to her family. - the liioulu with Oct 17, 13:23
- In point of fact, the aspect of my first wedding that bothers me to this day is that the families got too involved. -- nm - David Oct 17, 13:11

  - i was shocked when my MIL presented us with a list of people we just *had* to invite. and it was an incredibly pared down list based on the fact that - kare Oct 17, 13:29 17
    - the thing with 'sending him home' is it will actually cost way way more. - Andie Oct 17, 13:31 8
      - guest lists are a bitch. you get into the whole "if we invite x, we have to invite y" thing. sucks. -- nm - kare Oct 17, 13:38 1
        
        it's painful, it really is. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 13:38
      - oof. -- nm - Diva Oct 17, 13:34
      - solution: make guest tiers with separate registries, and the gifts are more expensive the worse the tier. - TFox Oct 17, 13:34 1
        
        lol -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 13:34
      - Since we are on Dave's list...we vote 120. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:32 2
        
        hey, talk to him! :) -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 13:32 1
        
        To get on the 120 list...or suggest a paring down :) - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:34
    - Yeah, my mom had people I've met once on her suggested list. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:31 7

        we haven't got into it, but i *know* my mom is going to want me to invite some of her friends - Andie Oct 17, 13:37 3
        
        yeah, that will be fun. - kare Oct 17, 13:42
        
        admittedly though, this is mostly your own fault for not getting married younger. -- nm - TFox Oct 17, 13:40 1
        
        :) -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 13:40
      - Only one from her list got invited anyway. - kelly Oct 17, 13:33
  - clearly you need to steal away to NYC during tystravaganza and get hitched. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:27 7
    - Hmm... would that be a sequel to the Hangover or Bridesmaids? -- nm - the liioulu with Oct 17, 13:30
    - hell yeah -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:30
    - [deleted] 4

      - You two can fight over him. - the liioulu with Oct 17, 13:25
      - [deleted]
      - oh sure, like you two are the sober, responsible, mature adults i need chaperoning. *adds bail money to budget* -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 17, 13:24 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        at least she knows we won't ask to bring dates. (nobody could keep up.) -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 17, 13:27
    - heh -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 17, 13:21
- it sucks when planning a wedding just becomes an exercise in having to defend your decisions/stand up for yourself. - kare Oct 17, 13:10 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - i think you hit the nail on the head. -- nm - kare Oct 17, 13:24
    - Up All Night tackled this in amusing (if exaggerated) fashion last week. -- nm - TFox Oct 17, 13:18
Mel, I thing "unseating Obama" excites the GOP base. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:04 16
- If Romney gets the presidency, the Tea Party gets what it deserves, a centrist Republican. - Mop (198 lbs) Oct 17, 13:21 1
  - [deleted]
- [deleted]
- I'll be curious to see how that aspect plays out. - David Oct 17, 13:06 12
  - Romney though isn't a Kerry....he's a successful businessman who won election in Massachusetts - Whitney Oct 17, 13:12 2
    - except for that first line of your im kills Rommney in so many eyes, of the pundits and many far out to the right - tRuMaN Oct 17, 13:20 1
      - That's why the GOP is still looking for another person, but each and every one of them has failed. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:22
  - To your IM: The anyone but Bush strategy in 2004 got us Kerry, who was not nearly as electable as someone like Edwards (2004 edition) - ty97 Oct 17, 13:07 8
    - Kerry was arguably the most powerful democrat at the time. - David Oct 17, 13:10 6
      - It was Hillary then too. Kerry was the nominee becuase he crested at exactly the right time after Dean imploded. - Whitney Oct 17, 13:14 4
        
        It's terrifying how close John Edwards was to the presidency. - David Oct 17, 13:16 2
        
        It's amazing how long into the 2008 race he actually thought he should be Atty General. - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:17
        
        And yet....no Bush. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:16
        
        ARGH! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 17, 13:16
      - Power doesn't equate to electability though. - ty97 Oct 17, 13:14
    - Well, it's not apples-to-fruitcakes, either. - Beryllium Oct 17, 13:09
McDonald's to launch in-store channel -- (link) - Mop (198 lbs) Oct 17, 13:03 8
- at least some denny's have tv. I didn't like it when I've been exposed to it. maybe better for fast food vs. sit-down; but still, it's more noise in - b. Oct 17, 13:12
- I dunno, I think I'm going to miss the stylings of AM Gold being piped in through the speakers. - con_carnage Oct 17, 13:09
- this is *brilliant.* -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 17, 13:05 5
  - 24/7 commercials of junk food and toys in the play area! These people are geniuses! -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Oct 17, 13:12 3
    - no, they *are.* your message is precisely right. it's shooting fish in a barrel. -- nm - slutty vampire ghost pirate nurse amanda jones Oct 17, 13:13 2
