    - me too. but it will obsolete the Animated Movie category completely I would think. nm - Jovian Jan 20, 10:13 14
      - No, it really won't. It simply means WALL-E was a great film in a year of few great films -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 20, 10:18 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I don't think they needed a 2nd category to deny Animation from getting in...there's only been 1. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 10:24 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I hope you are all right, I would *love* to see Wall-E be nominated for Best Pic - Jovian Jan 20, 10:21
      - I'm not sure I'll ever follow this argument. Imagine if the Grammys worked like this. - TFox Jan 20, 10:18 3
        
        The Grammys is your go-to comparison? Really? Really? - Mr. Havens Jan 20, 10:20 1
        
        The Grammys are all effed up, and yet aren't effed up enough to subscribe to this flawed argument. - TFox Jan 20, 10:22
        
        That might actually help the grammy's. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 10:19
      - No more so than Life Is Beautiful and Il Postino obsoleteing the Foreign Film category. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 10:14

        Hindsight, they screwed that up. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 10:20 1

    - If Button's a better movie than Slumdog, it'd be quite an accomplishment. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 10:07 3
      - Ignoring for a moment that Button *IS* a better movie than Slumdog, it's a question of what the Academy will choose - Mr. Havens Jan 20, 10:21 1

B2 Will: Yes, John Lewis is a Democrat in the House representing GA - Strongbad Jan 20, 09:54 4
- I couldn't remember if he'd stepped aside in the last few year or not. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:56 3
  - He owns the 5th district for as long as he wants it. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 20, 09:58 2
    - I know. That's my district. How boring. -- nm - Dano Jan 20, 10:02 1
      - No D wants to run against him, and no R stands a chance of winning. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 20, 10:09
Thanks all. I think the best reaction I got was from my mother. - pmb Jan 20, 09:54 4

Wow, a genuine smile from both. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 09:53
Circuit City's website shutdown..... -- (link) - budice Jan 20, 09:52 14
- Shame we don't have any here... of course I've heard the "liquidation" prices are just 10% off right now. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 20, 09:54 13
  - A CNet blog said it was 30% on Saturday, and utter chaos. PC World simply said "I won't miss CC". -- nm - Mop Jan 20, 10:10
  - wow 10% off? considering they were always 30%+ more on everything I ever looked to buy compared to other stores, I'm not too impressed - dogbert183 Jan 20, 09:58 1
    - Ever so often, they'd have tv shows on dvd for cheap. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:58
  - And the not honoring their sales circulars. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:55 8
    - They still have one of my all-time favorite commercials. Where the couple walks into the store and the man takes off running like a kid. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 20, 09:56
    - The liquidators are in control now. CC has no choice in pricing, AFAIK - ty97 Jan 20, 09:56 6
      - We just laughed at the manager's lies. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 09:57 5
        
        I have no doubt they were designed a few weeks back, and probably even printed a week or two ago, maybe. - ty97 Jan 20, 10:00 1
        
        Of course it's not like you have to worry about customer loyalty at this point. If I worked there I might take advantage of that... ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 20, 10:14
        
        They were still almost certianly locked down before the liquidation announcement was made. -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 10:00
        
        I do know from experience circulation/store ads are set up months in advance. - Cuzzin Todd Jan 20, 09:58
        
        October is crap. Mid to late December is possible. -- nm - Jelly Jan 20, 09:58

- Silly naive Vermin... -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 09:59 2
