- Um, I'm pretty sure there were beepers in the 80's. At least in the late 80's. -- nm - lileve Jan 27, 13:17
- *likes* -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 13:02
- That's awesome! -- nm - Krusty Jan 27, 12:59
- *awesome* -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Jan 27, 12:57
LYC: I'm still bitter about Paramount ruining the Clive Cussler books as a movie series. -- nm - MDH Jan 27, 12:52 9
- Side note: If Matthew Reilly's books ever get made into movies, holy action sequence. -- nm - MDH Jan 27, 12:58
- I put the blame more on Cussler not understanding movies -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 12:56 2
  - it was a bad situation all around -- (link) - encyclopedia pixie Jan 27, 13:02 1
    - Thanks - I was just reading this actually. (I'm predisposed to blame Cussler, since he's a massive tool) -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 13:06
- Heh heh, yeah. "Paramount" -- nm - Philip Anschutz Jan 27, 12:54 1
  - Haha. :-) But come on, while it was fun, the original plot is way better. -- nm - MDH Jan 27, 12:56
- But Sahara was so much fun. no? -- nm - CQ: The Water Ox Jan 27, 12:53
- [deleted] 1
  - Oh I do too, and I enjoy watching it on TV, but the whole situation ruined that franchise. -- nm - MDH Jan 27, 12:55
This is what happens when you take 2 crazy Canadians who love Skyrim and turn them loose with a video camera. -- (link) - Trish Jan 27, 12:46 [youtube] 6 1
- are you going to watch the tv show about people who are preparing for things like the zombie apocalypse? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 27, 12:47 5
  - Disaster Prepppers? hells yeah -- nm - CQ: The Water Ox Jan 27, 12:54
  - My gf can't wait. It's right down her alley. She's close to being someone that can be on the show. -- nm - Krusty Jan 27, 12:52 1
    - st is going to have to remind me when it airs, or maybe i can catch it online - tRuMaN Jan 27, 12:54
  - Oh hell yes. That looks like a winner. A couple of weeks ago I discovered Dance Moms. It's so horrible it throws under Toddlers & Tiaras. - Trish Jan 27, 12:51 1
    - A license plate in the high school lot this morning was SWMMOM - wouldn't surprise me to see that show next. - MojaveMeg Jan 27, 13:01

- ha! that's great. (spoiler from comments) - b. Jan 27, 12:46
sounds like max should have gone to First CityWide -- (link) - encyclopedia pixie Jan 27, 12:38 [hulu]
google knows nothing about me, woo. something that bothered me about them recently is that they pressed very hard to have - b. Jan 27, 12:31 12
- I still like old school AIM. I'm not sure what Google is up to though... Mostly looks like putting all the privacy piles in one so they can get a more - Qale Jan 27, 12:35 11
  - All your stuff was in one pile anyway. That one account name/password gets you into Gmail, Docs, Reader, Calendar, G+ - TWuG Jan 27, 12:58 2
    - I'm all for simplifying privacy choices, but that's not all that's in this mix. - b. Jan 27, 13:05 1
      - You must be using the services differently than I. I *like* crossover and have no issues with different facets (say business vs private) conflicting - TWuG Jan 27, 13:08
  - yes. I really don't like the "if you don't like it, don't use it" approach, especially after getting people this far into use of the sites involved. - b. Jan 27, 12:38 4
    - You're getting something out of it too: free services -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:54 1
      - I would be willing to pay something if I could fully opt-out. -- nm - b. Jan 27, 12:57
    - There is also the part where all of these things are free and I like that. And some of the advertising has actually been useful. It's always going to - Qale Jan 27, 12:52 1
      - As I noted on the BB discussion, that "what does Google know about me" link returned that I'm opted out and they know nothing. - TWuG Jan 27, 12:59
  - I mean, if you're really that concerned about it, Yahoo does the same thing if you have mail there. - Kim Pine Jan 27, 12:36 2
    - I do opt-out everywhere I can, but it sucks that it's seemingly going to be extra-limited with google. - b. Jan 27, 12:44 1
      - I do understand. - Kim Pine Jan 27, 12:49
Which job (starting next season) is the more likely road to a head coaching job: Colts DC or Ravens D-Line coach? - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 12:31 2
- Ravens OC *crosses finger* -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Jan 27, 12:32 1
  - If it hasn't happened after 4 years, it won't happen after 5. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 12:51
Well, this Everton v Fulham game is fun now. -- nm - CQ: The Water Ox Jan 27, 12:29
Finally. Done. After closing 4 deals in the last 2 weeks, the worst of which was a 2 month monster that just closed, I think my "year-end" crunch is - pmb Jan 27, 12:28 3
- Rest up. And I hope you get laaaid. -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:41
- *high five* hope you get some well-deserved rest soon! -- nm - b. Jan 27, 12:32 1
  - i'll be on a beach earning 20% -- nm - pmb gruber Jan 27, 12:39
and speaking of the all star draft; Chara drafting Price and nearly making him choke on his water in surprise was great -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:24 3
- I'm telling you, if not a Top Twenty pick, I want to be the last guy selected. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 12:27 1
  - yup. new car plus $20k to your favorite charity, I'd take that -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:28
- as was his "hug it out?" to Sequin -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:25
The Ovechkin mention on the BB; was it me or were most of the all-star interviews veiled shots at him for not showing up? -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:23 1
- or, not so veiled as the case may be -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:23
Catching up on TDS, Elizabeth Warren seems like Elise Keaton Goes to Washington. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:21
Santorum "would rather spend his Saturday sitting at his kitchen table doing his taxes." -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jan 27, 12:19 2

- i think, like all politics it both hurts and helps. - tRuMaN Jan 27, 12:49
- I think upholding it would reduce it as a negative for Obama, and would keep the economy and job creation as the main issues for the election. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 12:36
- "More people will have health care, you say?! Well, I'm just going to have to put a stop to that!" -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:28 2
  - "Help people? fuck that noise" -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:29 1
    - If people really have the desire to fight that battle again even after they've lost, then ML really does know something about Republicans I don't -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:47
- I think overturning the healthcare legislation hurts Obama and helps the GOP, far more than upholding it would help either party's chances. -- nm - pmb Jan 27, 12:24
- both. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 27, 12:21
- I could see it energizing both sides. Maybe more B, in case victory breeds apathy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 12:17 3

    - If the foreign policy stuff happens it helps Obama... - Mel Profit Jan 27, 12:27 1

- This is America. Everyone loves a winner. -- nm - David Jan 27, 12:16
One for the Money did not screen for critics. Newsweek critic goes anyway. Calls it 'worse that Gigl' at one point.' -- (link) - Andie Jan 27, 12:04 65

  - The Bounty Hunter, which i saw. Super boring. But this is the first of a series of VERY popular books. They screwed up a franchise. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:18 18
    - It's been a while since I read these, but didn't she live next door - amoxy Jan 27, 12:24 4
      - I just reread the first three and that doesn't sound familiar. - Ender Jan 27, 12:36 1
        
        No I already figured out it was Kinsey Millhone from the Sue Grafton novels -- nm - amoxy Jan 27, 12:39
      - i've only read one or two, and ages ago, and out of order. i am the wrong girl to ask. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:25 1
        
        Never mind, I was thinking of the Sue Grafton novels -- nm - amoxy Jan 27, 12:33

      - 18 -- (link) - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:19 8
        
        Wow. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:21 7
        
        I had no idea either. Wow. Appears to be a case where the studio really should just eat the losses and start over fresh. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 12:24 6
        
        I wonder if there rights to it were running out so they threw some shit together while they owned it... -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 12:26 5
        
        It was supposed to be a June release last year - so I think they *tried* to make a half-decent movie. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 12:32 3
        
        If that were true, they wouldn't have hired Heigl. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 12:56 2
        
        iirc Heigl's production company bot the rights. they had to make it with her. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 13:03 1
        
        Tri-Star had the rights since around 1997. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 13:22
        
        Could be. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 12:27
  - Sort of. But the reverse. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:17
- I really dislike heigl and I am glad to see her fail but I am so sad to this franchise DOA. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:13 16
  - she was totally miscast. it needed someone with a bit of edge. someone like - Andie Jan 27, 12:16 7
    - you called? -- nm - LiLo Jan 27, 12:32
    - Eliza Dushku -- nm - David Jan 27, 12:17 5
      - Honestly I think she had too much edge. - Ender Jan 27, 12:33
      - Yes. Perfection. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 12:20
      - alyssa milano could work as well. -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:19
      - You've got my attention. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:18
      - Poll over. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:18
  - Don't care about Heigl, but I am also sad to see this franchise go down - amoxy Jan 27, 12:15
  - It's so amusing how *everyone* has turned on her. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:13 6
    - I miss the days of her being an alien. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 27, 12:15
    - she was even super annoying to me in roswell. I remember everyone on the show talking about how gorgeous she was and I was like - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:15 4
      - I just googled her Maxim shoot for reference, and it hit me - dead eyes. She's got dead eyes. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:26 1
        
        "for reference." "I read it for the articles." -- nm - the amanda nones Jan 27, 12:30
      - She was cute in Under Siege 2 (I was 17 so it's okay)...but I didn't hear from her again till Grey's. - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:17
      - Oh, no. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 27, 12:16
- the part where she was bent over handcuffing some guy and the camera had a perfect angle down her top, if they made a 100 minute move of just that I - dogbert Jan 27, 12:12 1
  - just the 20-21 second mark -- (link) - dogbert Jan 27, 12:16 [youtube]
- this makes me sad, I wanted to see this. Not in a run out and see it this weekend, but it looked humorous. -- nm - sycor Jan 27, 12:06 24
  - I am not at all a hateful person, but I wish K.Heigel would get Taken and sold into slavery. - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 12:10
  - I can't recall the name but the Reese/Pine/Hardy movies looks very good. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 12:08 22
    - This Means War -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 12:14 1
      - OK, so Roger More isn't a fan of Reese/Pine/Hardy movies. Noted -- nm - prayformojo Jan 27, 12:19
    - Spy Vs. Spy -- nm - peglegpete Jan 27, 12:13 5
      - I forsee some problems for this movie, since people seem to think this is the title, and not, say, what it actually is. - Reagen Jan 27, 12:15 4
        
        A bit relieved it's not just me. One billboard I see every day says MAKE WARE NOT LOVE in big letters above the actors' heads -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:17 3
        
        (Um, is that actually the title? I don't know!) -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:20 2
        
        (This Means War) -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:20 1
        
        Dammit, I know this. Reagen told me! -- nm - con_carne tomorrow Jan 27, 12:40
    - any movie with Reese in skimpy undies or less must be considered :) -- nm - peglegpete Jan 27, 12:12
    - I cannot figure this one out. I think Reese is preventing me from getting too enthusiastic about it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 12:11 1
      - Just remember Kirk vs Bane....the chick would need to be Heigl'ian for me to not be intrigued. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:15
    - Yes, looks fun to me. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 12:10
    - Drove by the theatre last weekend and Reese is looking fine on the giant poster on the side of the building. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 12:09 9
      - "What the hell is with Chris Pine's head?" -- nm - The Other Thing You Think Jan 27, 12:12
      - God help me, I think she's kind of hot now. nm - Dignan Jan 27, 12:11 7
        
        I agree with cucumber. -- nm - Max Jan 27, 12:29
        
        She was smokin' in How Do You Know. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:12 4
        
        I had to look this up and I *still* don't remember it. nm - Dignan Jan 27, 12:13 1
        
        Lucky you. It was teeth-grindingly awful. Even Mrs.V conceded it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 27, 12:16
        
        *blank stare* -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 12:12 1
        
        I'm not saying the movie was any good. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 12:13
        
        (But that movie looks like crap.) nm - Dignan Jan 27, 12:11
Target has a slew of $5 Blu-ray. - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and MasterWhen Jan 27, 12:03 2
- I'd get the stargate ones. Are blu ray movies rescans of the original film? -- nm - lileve Jan 27, 12:25
- When? Now! -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 27, 12:05
I just walked into Suntrust bank and asked them to change 3 twenties into 6 tens. "You need an account here to do that." wtf? - Max Jan 27, 12:03 5
- They were okay for a while, but we ditched Suntrust (as our secondary bank to ING) back in the fall when they introduced some new fees. F*ck them. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 27, 12:05
- haha. Looks like stripper lunch is canceled. nm - Dignan Jan 27, 12:04 1
  - Like Max would hand over a Hamilton. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 27, 12:06
