- Apes sure has been going around ST lately with nearly everyone giving it a great grade. Personally, I'd pick The Help though. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 20:11
- The Help, Apes, Idea, Moneyball. - kelly Jan 28, 20:11 1
  - Ok, good to know ... She likes the original Apes, so that could be the tiebreaker ... -- nm - Beryllium Jan 28, 20:15
- Apes seems like a Saturday night type movie. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 20:10

- Shockingly, callling people traitors seem to be a motivational tool - tRu Pad Jan 28, 20:05
Albertson's game ends this week. I need the following to complete the different sections. 50/50 split with anyone who has the pieces - peglegpete Jan 28, 19:35

  - Connor is aghast at this glaring omission! -- nm - Stephen, Australian Pirate for the day Jan 28, 19:38 2
    - Connor is at the only age where that movie is tolerable. - David Jan 28, 19:40 1
      - Revenge of the Fallen was the first movie in a while I wouldn't have minded walking out on. - Mel Profit Jan 28, 19:51
- I have 3 best pic nominees left. I don't know if I can bring myself to see Extremely Loud. - kelly Jan 28, 19:31 4
  - If Kim finishes reading her damn book, I expect that to be the only one I have left after tomorrow. - David Jan 28, 19:36 3

- This gets a B from me -- nm - prayformojo Jan 28, 20:02
Hernewt Caingrich! -- nm - nubby Jan 28, 19:12
I really liked A Separation and it's very accessible. It's a fairly standard courtroom drama/mystery/thriller very well done. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 19:01 4
- i hate that you saw this before me - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 19:02 3
  - I was surprised how conventional it was. It's not really artsy, just subtitled. I would use The Secret in Their Eyes as a comparison. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 19:05 2
    - I still have that on the TiVo and really need to watch it. -- nm - David Jan 28, 19:48
    - Very compelling with lots of twists and turns. There were a few things specific to Iranian culture but generally could have been set anywhere. -- nm - Dano Jan 28, 19:09
And, I'm back. Did you miss me? - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 18:57 20

  - He was sad to see us go. But he promised he'd see us real soon. -- nm - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 19:18 1
    - Why? because he likes you! -- nm - loosi Jan 28, 19:21
- I'm jealous of you. That's for sure. - David Jan 28, 19:08 15
  - This one wound up being more expensive than originally intended because our flight was cancelled and we booked with a different airline 3 hours prior - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 19:17 14
    - My brother and a BOP writer are members of the DVC, too. - David Jan 28, 19:26 6
      - Yacht & Beach Club, without contest. - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 19:30 5
        
        $280 a night at 30% off (!) just gave me too much sticker shock. - David Jan 28, 19:47 4
        
        And yeah, the per night rates for the DVC properties are steep. Keep in mind that they are suites and not standard rooms. -- nm - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 19:54
        
        Sorry. You didn't ask for what's the most affordable. You said nicest beach / pool. - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 19:53 2
        
        I've looked at that one. Does it have a man-made beach of some sort? -- nm - David Jan 28, 19:59 1
        
        No, but it's along a waterway. It's a quiet, slightly more adult-oriented resort (as much as that's possible in Disney). - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 20:05
    - any of them get eaten? -- nm - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 19:18 6
      - it's Disney ... the animals are declawed, defanged, and lobotomized. -- nm - loosi Jan 28, 19:23 3
        
        And Mickey can't stay in a room with Donald Duck. - Epiphany Jan 28, 19:30 1
        
        I seriously can't wait until Declan's a little older so we can bring the kids there... - Stephen, Australian Pirate for the day Jan 28, 19:35
        
        and there it is - encyclopedia pixie Jan 28, 19:24
      - There were several I would have happily fed to the animals. - Fuzzy (home from Disney) Jan 28, 19:23
      - Maybe the parents tossed them out on purpose? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 28, 19:22

- IIRC, he writes 'zany' caper novels about florida weirdos, retired mafia etc -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 28, 19:17 2
  - Ah, okay. Might just run over there on Saturday afternoon...thanks. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 28, 19:19 1
    - ok googled him, not the florida guy, probably better, did the Elvis Cole series, wrote for hill street blues cagney lacey -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 29, 00:23

    - Good job. -- nm - Krusty Jan 28, 18:18
    - good man. I'm very proud of you. -- nm - loosi Jan 28, 18:07 1
      - Thanks, though I can handle not drinking, but staying out the club completely until mid-April? That's gonna suck. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 18:20
It's weird replaying a game I spent about two weeks on four years ago. - Tim Jan 28, 17:20 7

- I foresee the Patriots signing him - prayformojo Jan 28, 17:16
- Becuase they might very likely have to pay him more in a bidding war. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 17:07 9
  - Is there any bidding war that could approach his actual salary? -- nm - David Jan 28, 17:09 7
    - I don't know his actual figures, but 28mil as a bonus in March .... you don't think someone won't give him a larger signing bonus then that? - Will Hunting Jan 28, 17:14 5
      - Dude, it's not about the money. It's about the cap space. Snyder has the money. What he doesn't have is the cap space. - David Jan 28, 17:19 1
        
        Yeah...and Danny Boy's exactly that dumb. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 17:21

  - 16 million MORE. The 28 is just his option bonus. So we are talking 44 million. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 28, 17:13
David, Daniel Snyder is involved...I think there's a very good chance the Redskins would do anything to get him. - Will Hunting Jan 28, 17:01
David, I honestly don't have a clue. - Reagen Jan 28, 16:58 4

- WTG ...I think -- nm - mud Jan 28, 16:55 7
  - Heh. It's actually a really good performance for me. Top 8 is nice. It reminds those who bury me week after week I am a competitor in the right format -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 17:00 6
    - Do you draft well too or just do well at sealed? -- nm - Tim Jan 28, 17:12 5
      - I draft well too. When they had two separate ratings for limited and constructed, the difference between my two were astronomical. -- nm - Qale Jan 28, 17:14 4
        
        You should make a run at a GP or SCG event then next time they're in that area. -- nm - Tim Jan 28, 17:15 3

- San Francisco. -- nm - Spawn - Blood Feud Lord and Master Jan 28, 17:01
