  - the prison doc is smokin hawt -- nm - Beaker May 6, 14:52
  - It should have ended earlier. Looks like they're just filling in holes with new less interesting characters and recycling it all over from the start. -- nm - Qale May 6, 14:26
Pujols! -- nm - The Incredible Budice May 6, 14:11 9

        I'd bet it was him. He's been stressing so much it probably feels like a relief and a hopefully a turning point for him. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 14:53
- I would bet he now hits 8 over the next 5 games -- nm - amoxy May 6, 14:12
I just realized that you guys are going to rave about Avengers so much that by the time I see I'll be disappointed it doesn't live up to the hype. - the liioulu with rain May 6, 14:02 3
- Eh, it's a mega huge comic book movie directed by the raging fanboy that unleashed Browncoats on us.. My expectations are safely in check. -- nm - Qale May 6, 14:09
- It's so awesome, that it will surpass even those expectations! - Mop May 6, 14:05 1
  - Uh-huh. - the liioulu with rain May 6, 14:09

- I hope you have learned you lesson and go see The Avengers now. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 12:45 7
  - I'll see it... eventually. On Netflix if nothing else. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 6, 13:29 5
    - I love how you are justifying not seeing a movie EVERYONE else is seeing to a guy that wouldn't see Avatar. -- nm - Bacon May 6, 13:47 4
      - He was right to skip Avatar though, it sucked. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 6, 14:02 3
        
        Fern Gully in spaaaaaace. It did not suck. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 14:05 2
        
        It sucked so bad that it's the highest grossing movie of ALL TIME! -- nm - Bacon May 6, 14:07 1
        
        I won't bother with the "money doesn't equal quality" debate. I'll just say I didn't like it. - Cuzzin Todd May 6, 14:10
  - and sit through the end and then more! -- nm - marcel May 6, 13:13

- My Dad's flabbergasted that I now have instant access to all these movies. -- nm - Ender May 6, 15:35
- I'm confused about all this. Isn't this something you could do on your own at home? - Krusty May 6, 11:29 11
  - I know that you've read the link now. The key is that if you have enough internet bandwidth and no significant cap... - David May 6, 11:52 8
    - The key to me is that you have to believe this service will never get walled off by the next big thing and that the studios will play nice forever - stewie May 6, 13:00
    - Thanks for the rundown. I appreciate it. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 12:00
    - [deleted] 5
      - there is a legal question about that now. sorta like if you bought a cd, ripped it, then sold it, do you still have the rights to the music? - tRuMaN May 6, 12:37 1
        
        you have the right to listen to it. BUT if you want to copy & sell it, no. -- nm - peglegpete May 6, 12:44
      - I would recommend Abundatrade. They give cash instead of credit and ordinarily offer more per title. - David May 6, 11:57 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I'm the same way. In fact, I recently went through my 2011 receipts from there and was a bit shocked by how many pages of purchases we'd made. - David May 6, 12:03
  - [deleted] 1
    - Grazie. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 11:47
- [deleted] 1
  - Agreed. That's the noteworthy flaw. -- nm - David May 6, 11:48
I pulled my car into my garage 30secs before it started to hail. It's only pea sized - Truman May 6, 11:17 1
- Feels good to beat Mother Nature! - Iron Spawn May 6, 12:47
If the (totally bullshit) estimate holds, The Avengers made more on Saturday than Buffy wannabe Twilight managed on opening weekend. -- nm - David May 6, 11:00 6
- Why do you think it's BS? -- nm - MDH May 6, 11:10 3
  - Studios lie like this all the time. -- nm - David May 6, 11:52
  - It's a suspiciously round number. -- nm - Tim on iPhone May 6, 11:16 1
    - And means it had one of the most insane weekend multipliers ever when dealing with numbers this big. - Tim on iPhone May 6, 11:20
- Pay no attention to the suspiciously convenient round number! -- nm - Reagen May 6, 11:02
- I am offended of your use of the term BS in the same sentence as The Avengers. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 11:02
Poll: Do you know what a lower-case Lambda (the greek letter) looks like? -- nm - Guigue May 6, 10:49 14
- Yes, but I was a math major so I got pretty intimate with the entire Greek alphabet. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 6, 11:17 2
  - If even 1/3 of people get it I'd be happy - Guigue May 6, 11:37
  - Oh, yeah. I forgot how much it's used in math like linear algebra and calculus. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 11:21
- Most people will think it's a Revenge of the Nerds reference - Reagen May 6, 11:01 2
  - Ahhhh that's why I mostly find the upper case version - Guigue May 6, 11:03 1
    - That's how I know the uppercase Lambda, the movie. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 6, 11:07
- Nope, just the uppercase. I assume it's similar but smaller. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 6, 10:51 7
  - No cheating before answering the poll, but here it is - Guigue May 6, 10:55 6
    - Not so similar. - Krusty May 6, 11:05 5
      - It's smallish but here's our logo so far - Guigue May 6, 11:11 [Image] 4
        
        Nice. That's FedEx level clever. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 6, 11:18 1
        
        :) -- nm - Guigue May 6, 11:36
        
        I like it and it's not an exact copy of the MLB logo. Close. - Krusty May 6, 11:17 1
        
        Cool thanks! :) -- nm - Guigue May 6, 11:36
Avengers is going to be the first film I see twice (or more) in the theater in a long, long time. It was pretty damn perfect. (spoils) - TWuG May 6, 10:49 7
- spoil - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:52 6
  - You're probably right. (spoils) - TWuG May 6, 10:56
  - spoil spec... - Remlik May 6, 10:54 4
    - I think Spawn is right, but hold out hope that you are. -- nm - TWuG May 6, 10:57 3
      - I really think Joss wrote it as (spoil) - Iron Spawn May 6, 11:01 2
        
        yes -- nm - Remlik May 6, 11:18 1
        
        And as such, it must stand. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 11:25
so there was some pub on Free Comic Book Day and my partner was qouted...funny thing...he was never interviewed... -- (link) - Remlik May 6, 10:48 3
- heh. Unrelated question. Avengers: Age of Ultron was a fee book. I thought it was the same but noticed - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:56 1
  - not fee, but free. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:56
- Is it something he actually said? Maybe he was overheard. - TWuG May 6, 10:50
FBB update: Swisher is back in the lineup today. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 10:37 2
- Pujols? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:40 1
  - He's back in the lineup as well. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 10:46
Avengers cinematography question; is there a lot of jittery camera-work? Mrs. L got motion-sick watching the Hunger Games, and is now reluctant to go - landbeck May 6, 10:21 8
- There was only a little "shaky cam" in Avengers. -- nm - TWuG May 6, 10:38
- There is a bit of shaky-cam, but only a bit. Nowhere near the level on Hunger Games or the Bourne movies. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 6, 10:29 6
  - Nothing ongoing, like Hunger Games. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:32
  - Comparatively speaking it would seem like none. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:31 4
    - This. -- nm - Alex Smith May 6, 10:37 3
      - Alex Smith is wise. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:38 2
        
        heh -- nm - Stephen May 6, 10:38 1
        
        Why can't Redmond understand this? -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:40

- socialism, bitches! -- nm - pixitude May 6, 10:23
It is not often that I have faith in America. - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:15 1
- We can always use a bit of 'old-fashioned.' -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 6, 10:30
Yeah, that .3 isn't like suspicious or anything. -- nm - Qale May 6, 09:44 3
- So, see any famous bears last night? Teddy, Smokey, Brer, Pooh, Paddington? -- nm - JenBro May 6, 10:40 2
  - Yogi? -- nm - JenBro May 6, 10:59 1
    - No. Bear night ended up having actually very few bears. Which is good, I suppose, since they're soulless killing machines. -- nm - Qale May 6, 13:03

    - HULK CASH! Heheh -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 10:41 3
      - I bet Marvel is glad they signed Ruffalo to the 6 pic deal *before* the weekend. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 10:44 2
        
        he's the third one, not a lot of leverage regardless of the Avengers BO I would think -- nm - Beaker May 6, 11:05 1
        
        Not a lot but even uf it bought him another 5%, multiply by 6 and you are looking at another house. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 6, 12:44
Police say they are investigating a body found in the stable area of Churchill Downs the morning after the Kentucky Derby as a homicide. -- (link) - Beaker May 6, 09:17 3
- Weird story. Why would we assume it had anything to do with the winner? And "no association with Churchill Downs" except that it was found there? -- nm - MojaveMeg May 6, 09:26
- BEWARE THE NEIGH-SLAYER!! -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 09:25 1
  - "Terrifying death-whinny. -- nm - Reagen May 6, 09:31
