  - I'm trying it, and having a hard time due to lighting or something. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:48 1
    - I've got the Bellagio. Luxor and surrounding buildings, I think are missing. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:49
- This sounds like a job for Will " Vegas" Hunting -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 13:43 1
  - will, you here? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:44
- basically, I have a map of the strip and I need to figure out if major hotels (Bellagio, Luxor) are missing. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:42 30
  - bellagio: look just south of flamingo road (ave?), is there a huge hotel with a fountain? that's the bellagio. luxor: two properties below tropicana - dogbert Oct 25, 13:47 17
    - seriously, I need to email it. I don't have street names on this map. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:48 16
      - send away - dogbert Oct 25, 13:49 15
        
        sent! -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:50 14
        
        it shows the luxor, but doesn't go north enough to show the bellagio -- nm - dogbert Oct 25, 13:53 13
        
        in your doc, the last properties on the strip before the upper cutoff are new york, new york in the west side, and mgm on the east -- nm - dogbert Oct 25, 13:55 8
        
        Your sense of scale is way different from mine. I've got Las Vegas & Tropicana being smack dab in the middle. And I can't make out the Luxor. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 25, 14:01 1
        
        I was loking at it wrong to begin with because I assumed it was including all casinios, but now I see it's not. the square just about half way down in - dogbert Oct 25, 14:07
        
        you aren't seeing the bellagio fountain with a crossed hammer on it? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:55 5
        
        how old is this map? there doesn't seem to be a building for mandalay bay -- nm - dogbert Oct 25, 14:00 4
        
        ok, scratch what I said. ok, if that is bellagio, then going south there is nothing on the west side of the road souoth of tropicana. meaning it's not - dogbert Oct 25, 14:02 2
        
        ahhh, this is what I wanted to know. And not that I don't trust you, but I want others to confirm. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:05
        
        short answer is: no, the luxor is not on that map -- nm - dogbert Oct 25, 14:04
        
        that's what I'm asking!!! :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 14:00
        
        can you explain where the Luxor is please? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:54 2
        
        it's the big pyramid, but that's not important right now. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 25, 13:58 1
        
        you're getting it too now. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:59
        
        the hammer is on the bellagio fountain. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:54
  - I'm pretty sure ST could piece it together from memory. - Mel Profit Oct 25, 13:44 11
    - I have a map and I need to know if the Luxor is on it. can't post it, need to email it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:47 9
      - If memory serves correctly, Mandalay Bay is at the end of the strip and Luxor would be the first hotel to the right of it (if you're facing Mandalay) -- nm - pmb Oct 25, 13:49 5
        
        Yes. then Excaliber, then street then NY NY. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:51 4
        
        I'm pretty sure NY NY is across the street (on the opposite side of the strip). Near the MGM. - pmb Oct 25, 13:53 3
        
        You are wrong. I stay at the Exacliber everytime I am there. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:56 2
        
        you'd think you'd have learned to spell it. ;P -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:57
        
        MGM is caty-cornered to the Exc, across from the MGM. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:57

to build on MDH's post - they sure aren't marketing Anonymous as an arthouse film - it's got commercials everywhere -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 13:33 2
- That's why I was so stunned I see ads 24/7. The way they advertise I though it was in like 3,000 theaters. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:41
- BOM has it estimated at 200 theaters which hits every major market and likely some moderate markets. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:36
Ron Washington reacting to things in the dugout always looks like an In Living Color paridoy of Ron Washington reacting to things in the dugout -- nm - prayformojo Oct 25, 13:33 1

I find that Lackey news oddly reassuring, honestly. They can plan to be without him. - TFox Oct 25, 13:25 16

  - I think Cherington is smarter than to make his first big free agent splash Daisuke Redux, but who knows. - TFox Oct 25, 13:28

About two months until year-end, throw a dart at the board: What wins the Best Picture Oscar? -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 13:18 33
- War Horse -- nm - znufrii Oct 25, 13:26 3
  - Sounds schlocky. (to me) -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 13:33 2
    - possibly... - znufrii Oct 25, 13:36 1
      - Very true -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 13:38
- [deleted]
- The Descendents or JEdgar. (If War Horse somehow wins, I quit) -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:21
- [deleted] 1
  - I think Best Actress is going to be a hell of a competition this year. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:22
- Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It's wide open this year and Oscar voters will feel the need to "right" last year's. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 25, 13:20 23
  - To be honest, I think it'll miss being nominated for Picture. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:22 22
    - Assuming it's good, it's seems a lock for a nom in an (up to) 10-pic race. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:24 10
      - There's a lot of competition this year -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:28 4
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        *Looks below at my list of potential nominees* -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:31
        
        It's going to depend on how well the film is received critically. If the critics like it (TBD) and it's a box office smash (likely) - ty97 Oct 25, 13:29 1
        
        as a nominee, that is -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 13:29
      - [deleted] 4
        
        Last I read, there could be up to 10, as long as they got at least 5% of the vote. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:27 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        So,as I said "up to 10" -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 13:28 1
        
        [deleted]
    - If not for expanded, I would agree. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:23 10
      - Here's my (way in advance) list of nominees - MDH Oct 25, 13:28 8
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        I think they are locks regardless, Oscar can be predictable with bait. And hat's why they are maybes! :-) - MDH Oct 25, 13:36 5
        
        There's almost always something that considered a lock in October that's gone from the list by December - ty97 Oct 25, 13:37 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Based on subject matter alone, I'd consider J Edgar the strongest of those three. - ty97 Oct 25, 13:42 1

        I hope its the horse. Speilberg needs to get back his old self not this Horse/TinTin crap. -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:40
        
        Moneyball is a couple groups too high. It gets that spot. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:33
      - I think that'd be the type of movie where if it's great, it wins, if it's not great it doesn't get nominated. - Will Hunting Oct 25, 13:26
- Rubber. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 25, 13:20
[deleted] 3
- Man, if only there was some big sort of shopping dilly-o coming up in the next quarter ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 25, 13:21

"Unforgettable" and "Person of Interest" get full season pickups -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 13:18 2
- good, I think I'm not ready to give up on POI. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 13:33
- A little surprised at the latter. I would have been shocked if Unforgettable had not been picked up. -- nm - GregW Oct 25, 13:23
Free has gone crazy on Ika.org. He's like a new Black Shadow... -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 25, 13:17 5

  - he's come around. - Mel Profit Oct 25, 13:36
- and free was all over the server about 2 weeks ago. good to see him back. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 25, 13:20
- I wish you guys could see some of the stuff Black Shadow writes me. It's cute and hilarious. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 25, 13:19
- My thoughts, exactly. Considering the size of his account, it is good to see. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 13:19
Talking about clothes for dogs, have you heard of the Thundershirt for anxious dogs? -- (link) - GregW Oct 25, 13:17 5
- I was in a pet store last week where another customer was saying she knew someone who had success with this. -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 25, 13:26
- That might be great for getting my dog off of the bed. She has to be in contact with us. -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 13:25
- The wife and I saw the infomercial. We have a dog that could really use this, if it really works. - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 25, 13:18 2
  - I'm thinking about trying it too. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 13:30
  - There is some scientific backing for this, but it still doesn't work for all dogs. -- nm - GregW Oct 25, 13:19
Siri, show me the way to go home, I'm tired and I want to go to bed -- nm - amoxy Oct 25, 13:16 1
