- I'm very curious to check out the one in the city when it opens. - Krusty Jul 2, 08:56 3
  - The ability to get food/drink is great, but there are really two specific things that make Alamo great. - ty97 Jul 2, 08:59 2
    - No kids and they boot talkers/texters? I'm sold. Nothing else needs to be said. I found my new theater starting next year. - Krusty Jul 2, 09:02

Its interesting that USA seems to be making better TV than most of the networks..second season of Suits is really good as is 2nd season of Necessary - Capstern Jul 2, 08:29
Found another book series thats good (Riordan age range) Brandon Mull - Beyonders -- nm - Capstern Jul 2, 08:26 2
- The Wizard of Oz books. There's diminishing returns by the 5th or 6th book, but still some great stuff. -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 08:28 1
  - Trying Mulls Fablehaven series - starting well so far...sad that some teen lit is more entertaining than some current adult fantasy -- nm - Capstern Jul 2, 08:33
[deleted] 2

    - No. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 2, 09:00
    - no, not really. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:58
- You might like one of the Fallout games. FPS and RPG like some of the others mentioned below. - Krusty Jul 2, 08:48
- depends on what type of game do you want. - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:26 14
  - Probably more RPG than FPS. - spamlet Jul 2, 08:35 12
    - very little FPS - groiny Jul 2, 08:36 11
      - well, there is always final fantasy, or skyim. - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:38 10
        
        With Skyrim, does it help to play the earlier games? -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 08:46 2
        
        not really. but you could probably pick up the previous game pretty cheap - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:47
        
        no, not for me. I never played anything before Skyrim. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:47
        
        also, portal, and portal 2, and possibly quantum conundrum would be games you should consider. -- nm - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:43 6
        
        also dragon age. -- nm - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:44 5
        
        Looking at Dragon Age, that might be what I'm looking for. - spamlet Jul 2, 08:49 4
        
        its a pretty good game, most the of the dlc is ok as well - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:52 3
        
        For $20, I can get all the DLC with it from Amazon. - spamlet Jul 2, 08:55 2
        
        i really do recommend portal (1 and 2) for you. - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:57 1
        
        Ok, I added Portal to the list as well. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 09:01

Since we're talking TV shows right now, I watched the FX show Louie for the first time this weekend (the S3 premiere). I have read on here and - bc/nc Jul 2, 08:21 3
- It grows on you. I'm always surprised how engaging the characters are even though there's very little actual story - Guigue Jul 2, 08:24
- SM hated the premiere and said it's nothing like the other episodes - he even said " Louie gets renewed? but Firefly can't find a home?" - Pippy Jul 2, 08:24
- Hes funny and its a lot like that but at times it can feel super depressing and sad -- nm - Capstern Jul 2, 08:22
Introduced Angie to Firefly this weekend. great show - sad it didnt last. Its funny I almost see Richard Castle as NY version of Mal Reynold - Capstern Jul 2, 08:21 7
- over-rated - groiny Jul 2, 08:22 2
  - Still one of the best written SciFi series to date (Tho like tje first 3 seasons of B5 was preety awesome) -- nm - Capstern Jul 2, 08:27 1
    - that is not really saying much though. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:30
- I did have to give her crap as a super geek/nerd girl never having see that or Dollhouse or B5 (one of those is next for her) -- nm - Capstern Jul 2, 08:21 3
  - I have never seen Dollhouse or B5. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:50
  - I vote Dollhouse - as a chick, she will like it. -- nm - Pippy Jul 2, 08:24 1
    - Yeah. Probably do Desden Files atter that and then B5 as thats a huge committment -- nm - Capstern Jul 2, 08:26
The giant Hot Wheels track made me feel like I had been shot with a shrink ray. -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 08:19
[deleted] 36
- We're getting word that Anderson Cooper is heterosexual... -- nm - CNN Jul 2, 08:23
- why is this a big deal? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:20 34
  - is it a big deal that it's not really a big deal anymore? - znufrii Jul 2, 08:24 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - yes. - znufrii Jul 2, 08:31
      - and someone who's *super hot.* -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 08:30
  - Think about Anderson Cooper's audience -- nm - Magic MDH Jul 2, 08:23 1
    - this would be like Kayne coming out as black. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:24
  - That remains to be seen. -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 08:23
  - [deleted] 26
    - every time someone comes out, they have to publicize the shit out of it. - groiny Jul 2, 08:23 25
      - Coming out publicly is a way for celebrities to gain control of how they get talked about... because once they're out it *will* get talked about. - con_carne Jul 2, 08:37 13
        
        [deleted] 12
        
        ignoring = not reading the article. - groiny Jul 2, 08:41 11
        
        Surely you understand what we live in an uptight country where this stuff matters to people -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 08:48 2
        
        a few years ago, maybe. Now I think we are somewhat desensitized by it. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:49 1
        
        but even as its cultural novelty diminishes, it's still important to a great many people on an individual level. - znufrii Jul 2, 08:54
        
        [deleted]
        
        ignoring = unfairly criticizing it for "publicizing the sh!t out of it"? -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:43 3
        
        I see "ANDERSON COOPER COMES OUT AS GAY!!!" and I say.... - groiny Jul 2, 08:43 2
        
        if he *were* actually shouting it from the rooftops like that, you'd actually have a point. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:46 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I am just trying to understand why it matters, is all. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:43 1
        
        [deleted]
      - He felt the need to not discuss for how many years? It's clearly still a big deal. - ty97 Jul 2, 08:27
      - [deleted] 9
        
        they being media. and the fact that you linked it kinda proves my point. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:25 8
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        I honestly do not care one bit about it, other than that it seems like it has to be even talked about. - groiny Jul 2, 08:29 6
        
        The day the rest of America feels that way and stops defining my right for me, I'll agree -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 08:37
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        well, I do not feel the need to tell the local paper what my wife and I did over the weekend..... -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:35 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        thank god. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:36
        
        maybe because I am not the target audience though? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 2, 08:29

LIR - Charlie Sheen and Anger Management - SM said it's going to have to find it's groove, cause right now it sucks - Pippy Jul 2, 08:15 4
- 2 1/2 Men always sucked, why would this be different? -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:16 3
  - the absence of Chuck Lorre, for starters -- nm - con_carne Jul 2, 08:24
  - The early seasons were good, but it started repeating itself -- nm - amoxy Jul 2, 08:24
  - its toned down, suppose to be a little " smarter" and a bit more " risque" since on a cable channel - Pippy Jul 2, 08:23
so you can still watch ep 1 of that new sorkin show on youtube, should i? - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:13 5

- on my way to LAX right now to fly out there...I figure the security line is going to be horrid. -- nm - budice Jul 2, 08:15 2
  - Will the TSA allow you to take your entire spice rack in your carry on? -- nm - Mop Jul 2, 08:17
  - go for the patdown, that should liven things up. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:15
- go to that glass archway thing that lets you walk above the canyon then. -- nm - tRuMaN (what?) Jul 2, 08:14
- Maybe do it "Vacation" style and rob the lodge. That should make it exciting -- nm - oblique Jul 2, 08:13
- have you been there before? It really needs no spicing up. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:12
Be the moral center of this show. Be the integrity. -- nm - Other David Jul 2, 08:12 4
