    - On the upside (spoiler) - Guigue Oct 26, 08:45
  - pretty much -- nm - Evil Beaker Oct 26, 08:44
- I realize this should probably be "timelines", but I really like the idea of "timesplines" for projects like this. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 08:41 1
  - Semi tangent: I have always thought of time lines as time threads. -- nm - Spawn Oct 26, 08:44
LYC: It may be 5 years old, but Justin Timberlake's "Futuresex/Lovesounds" still makes for some damn good listening -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 08:31 3
- this is appropriate - people are up in arms about Justin not making music - see this PSA -- (link) - Epiphany Oct 26, 08:43 [youtube]
- I was just listening to it this week and agree. - Mel Profit Oct 26, 08:32 1

      - You take out 3 things in that movie, it takes it from a C- to a B+ for me. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 08:40
  - It was the overwhelming amount of ridiculousness interwoven with the story ... Apparently for lolz? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 08:33 1
    - Agreed. I'm fine with the macguffin, because it makes absolute sense for an Indy that has advanced into the 50s. - Ender Oct 26, 08:47
