Yuck! The rumour is Glenn for Printers (providing Printers takes a major pay cut). - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:39 5
- Hooray for locker room cancers! -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 08:39 1
  - I have to think that's just speculation. While the team would like to get him to Hamilton and Printers is done in Hamilton, there's no way he fits... - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:42
- what is Printers, the lamest NHL team ever? -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 08:39 2
  - gutenberg scores on a wicked wrister! -- nm - prayformojo Jan 22, 08:41 1
    - "Team Captain Conrad Black is still in prison." -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 08:42
Coming back to Man on Wire, my problem with it was that it felt like the retelling of a particularly elaborate college engineering prank. - Reagen Jan 22, 08:38 3
- word. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 08:43
- which is essentially what it is. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:42

"Loopt" sounds like it turns real life into the map mode of GTA4 -- nm - Beryllium Jan 22, 08:37 3
- Sounds like a relationship breaker-upper. - Reagen Jan 22, 08:39
- it sounds similar to google maps mobile, which I *love*, but it doesn't work on my work-issued phone. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 08:38 1
  - I think the functionality itself is going to be cloned several times over ... I hope one of the iterations is decent :) - Beryllium Jan 22, 08:39
I'm torn between Langella and Rourke for Best Actor. - znufrii Jan 22, 08:34 1
- agreed. they were both excellent. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:40

- John Patrick Shanley wrote Moonstruck? Huh -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 08:41
- only Penelope's second nom? Surprising -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 08:39 2
  - definitely her best English language performance that I've seen. I expect it's harder to get an acting nom for a non-English role -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 08:42
  - though I suspect playing a crazy nympho didn't take a lot of research for her. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 08:42
- "And on page 17 of the Meryl Streep nomination list................." -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 08:35
Jeff Dowd talks about "the punch" (In as rambling a manner as possible) -- (link) - Dano Jan 22, 08:34 1
- that's just, like, his opinion, man. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 08:43
Jim, the word you're looking for is "stop-motion". -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 08:34
huh...looks like I picked up another little gig at the radio station. Doing phones for the sports show on Fridays. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:29 15
- Cool. If the station ever needs a female voice for spots or imaging, LMK, and I can get you my wife's rate card. -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 08:31 1
  - Well I'm never in that part of the business, but if I hear anything I'll mention it. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:34
- you know ST's going to be crank calling you all evening, right? -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 08:31 2
  - I can only do it Friday. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:32 1
    - *makes note* looks up prank call quotes -- nm - Epiphany Jan 22, 08:41
- When Mike told me you survived the cuts, I said you were going to get extra work. -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 08:31 1
  - I kind of figured I might. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:31
- Hello? Are you there? Should the Colts trade Peyton Manning? -- nm - Caller #2 Jan 22, 08:30 1
  - Yes. We want Jeff George back. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:32
- [deleted] 5
  - yeah. sales people and some long time air staff (one guy of 28 years). -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:31 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - Ace Cosby and Phil Upright were let go here. Ace is a legend. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:35 2
        
        That was shocking. -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 08:36 1
        
        I know. Ace is the man. -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:37
"They're not saying BOO they're saying Boooooooooooooo-sh!" -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 08:26
The highlight of new posts may be the thing that I wonder how we lived without very soon. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 08:26 13
- I like the Click on the Link without Clicking on the Post Feature. -- nm - Dano Jan 22, 08:35
- what is this new feature? -- nm - the year of the ox loves mandy lane Jan 22, 08:34
- I keep thinking something's on my corneas. -- nm - Max Jan 22, 08:33
- I find it bit busy actually, but I am amazed at the work and thought that Bery puts into this. More kudos for the Bery man. -- nm - pmb Jan 22, 08:29
- Yeah it's cool, wish they were a bit darker though. -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 08:27 8
  - Bery talked overnight of adding a color option (with time) - ty97 Jan 22, 08:30 2
    - Very nice. -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 08:35
    - I am calling peridot green right now. -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 08:32
  - With spinning Woot-style lights next to them, which are color-coded by an algorithm that guesses at their relative worth. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 08:28 3
    - You know, that's not half bad. -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 08:29
    - TFox: What an asshole. - loosilu Jan 22, 08:28 1
      - We keep this up, we're going need to take another collection for Bery for St. Patricks Day, just for abiding us chucklenuts. -- nm - TFox Jan 22, 08:30
  - no! -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 08:27
. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 22, 08:25 1
- Easy for you to say. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 22, 08:26
Who here can tell me about QB Stefan LeFors? He's now the most likely new starting QB for my Blue Bombers and I know less than zero about the guy. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:22 8
- He was good at Louisville. I was expecting more from him in the NFL than what he did. -- nm - Inigo Jan 22, 08:23
- He was a stud at Louisville and he's one of the true heroes of sports. His entire family is deaf. -- nm - David Jan 22, 08:22 6
  - (And I always said he'd be great in the CFL.) -- nm - David Jan 22, 08:23 5
    - Throws a nice ball? (Can't win here without a good arm.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:23 4
      - No, he's not a cannon arm type. He's more in the Jeff Garcia mold of playmaking no matter what. -- nm - David Jan 22, 08:24 3
        
        Accurate though? Michael Bishop has a cannon, but can't string together the wins (That's right Reagen, he can't), but so long as he can get it... - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:26 2
        
        He's like fourth all-time in the NCAA in single season completion percentage, but part of that is Petrino's system. -- nm - David Jan 22, 08:28 1
        
        Nicey nice nice. Sounds like someone who can play the three down game. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 22, 08:31
Logan said "I love you" for the first time yesterday. It was so funny, because he was such a guy about it. - Amy Jan 22, 08:21 4
- ah. -- nm - Andie Jan 22, 08:28
- cuteness - I imagine him in a feathered hat like Will Turner to Elizabeth Swann in Pirates - Epiphany Jan 22, 08:25
- he didn't punch you on the arm? -- nm - Remlik Jan 22, 08:23 1
  - I think he was proud that he said something that I actually understood. - Amy Jan 22, 08:25
[deleted] 13
- I try to pick the stall that is least used. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 08:23 1
  - Statistically that's the ones on the ends. -- nm - pmb Jan 22, 08:30
- Solution: don't go. - JaxSean Jan 22, 08:23 2
  - JaxSean = real life Shitbreak. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 08:25
  - really? I'm not scared to duece it up. -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 08:24
- Yes. And since these rules have come up again... -- (link) - Roger More Jan 22, 08:23
- I always leave a space if possible. -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 08:22
- And don't forget the territorial cough when you hear someone else come into the restroom. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 08:22 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 08:23
- doesn't matter to me, but I do believe in the spacing for urinals -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 08:22
- Where possible, yes -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 08:21
- You can sit in the next stall, though I have a wide stance -- nm - Larry Craig Jan 22, 08:21
- I would. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 08:20
errrands today people: dump, food store, hardware store, and lumber yard. Then I'm gonna have pizza -- nm - CQ Jan 22, 08:19 1
- I guess you really aren't scared to deuce it up. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 08:25
just a reminder: Oscar nominaton voting is effed up -- (link) - ty97 Jan 22, 08:15 6

- Oh, for the love of... -- nm - David Jan 22, 08:21
- makes sense to me. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:18 1
  - note: I'm not saying it's the ideal system for this, but it makes sense. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:24
FWIW, I see Slumdog and Benjamin Button in a dead heat for Best Picture. - David Jan 22, 08:13
I feel like I'm coming down off saturation Obama coverage. Like what's he doing today? Right now?! - Loyola Jan 22, 08:13 4
- As long as they stop asking black people if they ever thought "they'd live to see this day." - Cuzzin Todd Jan 22, 08:18 2
  - *puts on a t-shirt that says* "Yes, I did think I'd live to see this day!" -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 08:20
  - "Stop asking us when we're gonna die!" -- nm - Black Folk Jan 22, 08:20
- At this point I only care about policy. Yesterday and Tuesday were the "cool, he's President! How's he liking the job, etc." No it's "is he getting - TWuG Jan 22, 08:17
I think Langella wins Best Actor. -- nm - Inigo Jan 22, 08:12 12
- Which is weird, because in the movie alone, Sheen is better than he is. -- nm - Max Jan 22, 08:27 1
  - I think it's a career oscar for his work on stage and film. -- nm - Inigo Jan 22, 08:30
- I don't think he looks or sounds anything like Nixon. *shrug* - kelly Jan 22, 08:23 4
  - he is completely absorbed into the character in the film. - Callisto Jan 22, 08:25 1
    - I wish I had gotten to see him in the role on stage -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:28
  - Like Hopkins, he chose not to do a full impersonation of Nixon. -- nm - Inigo Jan 22, 08:25 1
    - I good actor doesn't have to. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:29
- He's pretty good. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 22, 08:16
- [deleted] 3
  - Forget that. I want some crazy sportsbook.com odds like last year. - Inigo Jan 22, 08:16 2
    - Who ran that last year? I would be interested -- nm - rollo Jan 22, 08:22 1
      - You just need to open a sportsbook.com account. The betting is individual. - Inigo Jan 22, 08:27
Ledger is the best, but I still rate Caeser Romero's Joker over Nicholson's -- nm - amoxy Jan 22, 08:12 26
- Nickolson's wasn't The Joker...it was Nicholson in a Joker suit - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 22, 08:17 23
  - Because he acts like that in all his other movies? -- nm - con_carne Jan 22, 08:24 3
    - Which was effective in A Few Good Men, but that's about the only thing I've liked him in. -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 08:25 2
      - His early movies he was acting (Easy Rider, 5 easy pieces, Chinatown) - amoxy Jan 22, 08:27 1
        
        Yep...and Pacino and Hoffman are getting there too -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 22, 08:28
  - Disagree. The writing was steller, but it needed a great performance to carry it. Ledger brought that. - TWuG Jan 22, 08:19 18
    - For me, his performance in it was like Geoffery Rush In POTC, or Ian McKellan in XMen - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 22, 08:26 5
      - I have no idea if it's Oscar worthy, but I know it was perfect for the character. -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 08:27 2
        
        See that's the thing, I'm not saying he sucked, or wasn't even the best Joker ever...I just feel the competition in other movies did better -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 22, 08:31 1
        
        and you're wrong. *shrug* - znufrii Jan 22, 08:41
      - have you been smoking your BBQ rub again? -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:26 1
        
        Let me guess...you are a method actor? -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 22, 08:32
    - You never saw Roar! -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 08:24
    - No Brokeback Mountain, 10 Things I hate about you, A Knights Tale? -- nm - amoxy Jan 22, 08:20 10
      - Nope. Saw the first 5 or 10 minutes of A Knight's Tale. The Queen music made me puke. Very bad match. Don't care about a touching gay love story - TWuG Jan 22, 08:22 6
        
        You might like the Patriot. -- nm - Amy Jan 22, 08:27 3
        
        Oh. Yeah. That was him in that. Really, really, really hated that film. Was the Last Gibson film I ever saw. - TWuG Jan 22, 08:29 2
        
        Ledger was good in Monster's Ball as well -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 08:35 1
        
        freakin amazing in that - Epiphany Jan 22, 08:40
        
        Watch 10 Things...It is one of my favorite Teen movies -- nm - amoxy Jan 22, 08:25
        
        Then I feel sorry for you. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 22, 08:25
      - what makes me realize just how good Leger's performance was is... - Mel Profit Jan 22, 08:22 2
        
        Jack's Joker looked like Jack. Ledger's Joker didn't really resemble Ledger to me at all. -- nm - TWuG Jan 22, 08:24 1
        
        Word. -- nm - znufrii Jan 22, 08:28
- Agreed. Ledger..........................Romero....... Nicholson. - TWuG Jan 22, 08:15 1
  - Ledger...Hamill.................Romero....... ......will need three more room for dots to get to Nicholsons -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Jan 22, 08:19
Estimated screen counts for tomorrow, fwiw Frost/Nixon 800, Rev Road 800, Dark Knight 250, Slumdog 1000, Wrestler 400 -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 08:12 12
- Sam Mendes, he's American? -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 08:18 2
  - English, from Reading. -- nm - loosilu Jan 22, 08:22
  - nm english -- nm - Loyola Jan 22, 08:22
- So you should be able to catch a good flick wherever you are* -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 08:12
- (and of course, two generic crap films) - ty97 Jan 22, 08:12 7
  - I want to see Underworld. Probably not quite enough for a theatre viewing though. Plus, Bill Nighy is in it. -- nm - Shaun Jan 22, 08:18
  - Michael Sheen sounded surprised when he said he enjoyed Underworld in a recent interview. -- nm - LMS Jan 22, 08:14 5
    - You can see him in Underworld or you can see him in Frost/Nixon! - Callisto Jan 22, 08:15 4
      - I'm cracking on this connection this week heavily. -- nm - Reagen Jan 22, 08:31
      - They both come out tomorrow here, he joked the critics will use the pun Frost Bites in the reviews. - LMS Jan 22, 08:19
      - I really wanted him to get a nom for The Queen -- nm - ty97 Jan 22, 08:16 1
        
        Even BAFTA ignored the guy this year. Hopefully he'll get nominated for The Damned United instead. -- nm - LMS Jan 22, 08:20
