I am supposed to be meeting up with a friend in an hour and a half. I love her to death, but she is notorious for being flaky when it comes to making - kelly Apr 16, 07:41 1

"Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said he has apologized to third baseman Kevin Youkilis for comments he made Sunday" - Beaker Apr 16, 07:34 13
- *shakes head* So, even though Ozzie Guillen jumped out to the early lead in "Just Fire This Clown", Bobby's making up ground in leaps and bounds. - Will Hunting Apr 16, 07:40 8
  - Cherington's going to get his choice sooner rather than later. -- nm - TFox Apr 16, 07:45 5
    - If this mistakes leads to Lucchino losing influence, all the better. - Will Hunting Apr 16, 07:47 4
      - And not only that, but the content is so dumb. He doesn't know how hard he usually plays! Because he wasn't around before! - TFox Apr 16, 07:52 3
        
        I assume Bobby V has seen Youk strike out, right? - Mel Profit Apr 16, 08:23 1
        
        oh, he has seen it a lot so far. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 16, 08:26

- Take it to the movies board -- nm - oblique Apr 16, 07:36 1
  - See, I doubt Chicago can claim a murder free day in 3 years. I bet there are very few countries that can claim that. -- nm - pmb Apr 16, 09:58

Is there more to The Cabin in the Woods then what the trailer hints about? (trailer spoilers) - Inigo Apr 16, 07:21 31
- Yes. Think about how well The Sixth Sense reinfused a genre. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 16, 07:24 4
  - Hmm. That's true. I still loved Sixth Sense even though I guessed the twist from the previews. -- nm - Inigo Apr 16, 07:27 3
    - I have to admit I didn't see it coming, at.all. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 16, 07:39 2
      - I really only figured it out because I had heard there was a twist. - Inigo Apr 16, 07:47 1
        
        I'm the idiot who knew there was a twist, was looking for it and still didn't see it. - Mel Profit Apr 16, 08:24
- yes and no -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 07:23 25
  - Did you know that stuff going in? If so, did you still enjoy it? -- nm - Inigo Apr 16, 07:24 24
    - no, I didn't know the big reveal stuff going in - I'm glad I didn't. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 07:26
    - I didn't (spoils) - JaxSean Apr 16, 07:25
    - i think if you liked Whedon's tv stuff, you'll like Cabin. -- nm - Andie Apr 16, 07:25 21
      - I do like his TV shows. I'll give it a try. I just wanted to be prepared if the trailers gave too much away. -- nm - Inigo Apr 16, 07:35
      - yes (spoils) - TFox Apr 16, 07:31
      - Is it more like Sixth Sense above or more gory/horror-y? - spamlet Apr 16, 07:29 17
        
        its very gory - in my opinion. Still worth seeing. I don't think you will be disappointed -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 07:37 5
        
        I seriously can't handle a lot of gore. Fake surgeries on Grey's Anatomy are enough to get me. - spamlet Apr 16, 07:38 4
        
        It -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 16, 08:09 2
        
        is Evil Dead-type gore more than realistic type gore. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 16, 08:09 1
        
        I was thinking * spoils* - Epiphany Apr 16, 08:13
        
        gore-related spoils only, no plot spoils - TFox Apr 16, 07:41
        
        i thought it was far less gory than i expected. substantially so. -- nm - TFox Apr 16, 07:32
        
        i called it 'the new Scream'. a new version of a classic horror movie. - Andie Apr 16, 07:31 9
        
        I'd think it would make a great double bill with Drag Me To Hell. -- nm - LMS Apr 16, 07:37 6
        
        Except that Drag Me To Hell absolutely sucked. -- nm - Ender Apr 16, 07:39 2
        
        Right. -- nm - David Apr 16, 07:47
        
        liar. -- nm - TFox Apr 16, 07:41
        
        *yes*. - TFox Apr 16, 07:38 1
        
        And for the triple bill, Evil Dead 2. -- nm - LMS Apr 16, 07:39
        
        yes! brilliant -- nm - Epiphany Apr 16, 07:38
        
        This is how I have describing it as well but it may not be a movie for Inigo. -- nm - David Apr 16, 07:33
        
        Yeah, I think Scream is probably the closest comparison. -- nm - Ender Apr 16, 07:32
      - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 16, 07:26
I agree with this guy, it seemed to me as well that Hartnell didn't go all out with Crosby when they went at it -- (link) - Beaker Apr 16, 07:18 1
- Hartnell can fight and Crosby can't. Say what you will about Hartnell, but I bet that was more of his thoughts then anything else. - spamlet Apr 16, 07:21
