Goon is the best movie ever made. It's like Raging Bull meets Slap Shot. -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 22:46 1
- I enjoyed it. A bit violents though. In the way the surface of the sun is a bit hot. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 19, 05:14
And here are the photos....... -- (link) - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 22:36 [flickr] 13
- very nice. ever been to mesa verde? well worth a visit, and it's close enough to canyonlands and arches that you can hit them as well. -- nm - mafic Aug 18, 23:28 1
  - Mesa Verde a number of times. Nothing in Utah north of Zion.We concentrate mostly on northern Arizona and New Mexicol. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:32
- great, but no Richardson's rug room :(( -- nm - peglegpete Aug 18, 23:26 1
  - :( Next time...or when you come with me. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:27
- Amazing stuff -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 23:02 6
  - Isn't it? I realize it's not the kind of thing that excites everyone, but that area really is one of the country's hidden treasures. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:06 3
    - I ook at the ruins and wonder how long it took them to build them... - BAD Aug 18, 23:13 2
      - Exactly - they took a great deal of expertise and a great work force. The timber - for example - was not local, but may have come from as far as about - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:23 1
        
        And after all that work...they just went....away? - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:26
  - Isn't it? I realize it's not the kind of thing that excites everyone, but that area really is one of the country -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:06 1
    - Oops. disregard this one. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:07
- Gorgeous. -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 22:52 1
  - One of the highlights was finding that turquoise pendant. This is the second time we've found one on that site. The obsidian point was a bonus. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 23:02
Continuum is pretty rough around the edges, but it's an ambitious series and manages a lot of cool moments. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 21:45
Boy, 95 photos take forever to upload...and that's the second batch :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 21:22 2
- I don't see them yet -- nm - Bacon Aug 18, 21:23 1
  - Soon..... -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 21:33
fwiw i think i give total recall a B -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 18, 21:18 3
- maybe a B+, its between those two ratings -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 18, 21:20 2
  - So a B+-? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 21:45 1
    - yes -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 18, 22:01
my mouse died (it had been acting weird for awhile) so to move the cursor I'm using my graphic tablet which is as big as cafeteria tray....annoying -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 21:07 2
- Which trap and what kinda cheese did you bait? - JenBro Aug 18, 21:11 1
  - OMG, my poor little mouse must have starved to death (I'm surprised it couldn't live off the crumbs around the couch) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 21:23
Strikeforce Rousey/Kaufman spoiler - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 21:00
I'm going to do ST the largest favor I've done in awhile. Avoid the new Bourne Movie if at all possible. If you're thinking of going, Don't. - Mel Profit Aug 18, 20:47 5
- I enjoyed it. Sure it's not as good as the original three, but that's a near impossible task. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 21:04 2
  - The first one was "incoherent" only in that we didn't know everything. It was intentional and the answers were provided in the end. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 18, 22:07 1
    - The first one is fairly notoriously a miracle of editing. It was widely viewed as a disasterous shoot. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 22:08
- I liked it well enough. -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 21:02 1
  - I was bored senseless (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 18, 22:06
Reign of Fire just starting on Spike TV -- nm - JenBro Aug 18, 20:46 2

- griony, get in forza -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 18, 20:13
Free Third Eye Blind concert after the Nats game isn't worth it for free. We left halfway through the first "song" -- nm - Max Aug 18, 19:42 1
- "i wish you could step back from that ledge my friend" -- nm - Buzz Aug 18, 19:44
I have a plan! Let's open fire indiscriminately on the enemy in a crowded airport! -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 19:24 2
- Expendables 2, although MW2 was ever-present during that scene. -- nm - Mop Aug 18, 22:38
- MW2? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 19:29
kim, you should listen to rowdy pipers podcast this week, tells a stellar mr fugi story - remlik Aug 18, 18:54
Habanero pickled garlic seemed like a good idea at the time....how the heck am I going to use it? :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 18:42 8
- Trick or Treaters? -- nm - JenBro Aug 18, 20:13
- get a quart of milk or ice cream...then taste a small corner. hopefully ideas will come where to use it. the juice may also be good to cook with in - peglegpete Aug 18, 19:12 4
  - I just sliced some into a salad - after chewing one whole :) Hot!! Yummy!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 19:20 3
    - Mediterranian Chcken, sorta like a paella, you brown some chicken legs thighs in a dutch oven/Le Cruise type pot, then cover with chicken stock and a - zeitgeist Aug 18, 19:58 2
      - Sounds yummy. One of the other choices was stuffed olives with peppers but I settled on the garlic. - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 20:27
      - Meg can also put in some of the garlic's liquid for added spice -- nm - peglegpete Aug 18, 20:00
- best diet plan ever, if its too painful to eat you won't eat...(how about regift it?) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 19:08
- curry? chutney? salsa? -- nm - mara Aug 18, 19:06
Hurry! There is still time to bid! (link) - Jovian Aug 18, 18:38

- I turned that disaster off a half hour ago. - Krusty Aug 18, 18:16
One suggestion for Vudu: They should make those "Pre-Theatrical" "Still in Theaters" "Digital Exclusive" tags searchable or sortable. -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 18:07
Argh...need Bery to come over and edit almost 200 photos.... :) - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 17:27
Partners looks like a bad imitation of Partners. -- nm - Todd Manning Aug 18, 17:24 1
- indeed -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:25
Cracked throws San Francisco under the bus, which considering the first couple points is worse than it sounds -- (link) - zeitgeist Aug 18, 17:20 1
- Spot on. I lived there for a while and absolutely hated it. -- nm - ceregon Aug 18, 18:10

- Year Zero was right! -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:22 3
  - Also: "The work, carried out by George Church and Sri Kosuri, basically treats DNA as just another digital storage device." -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:26 2
    - It' -- nm - ralph wiggum Aug 18, 17:37 1
      - It's just a matter of time before Los Del Rios is recognized as pinnacle of the universe's musical achievment. nm - ralph wiggum Aug 18, 17:39
- *imagines snorting up every movie ever made -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 17:21
Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Aug 18, 17:15
This O-line is garbage. Garbage! - Krusty Aug 18, 17:05 7

  - Seriously! He'll be the #1 reason why I lose my voice every Sunday. -- nm - Krusty Aug 18, 17:17 3

      - One was on Sanchez for holding the ball too long. He's been bad at run blocking as well. - Krusty Aug 18, 17:40 1
        
        Thank Jebus for Tebow huh? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 18, 18:36
- ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?! -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:13 1
  - AM I NOT MERCIFUL? ! -- nm - mud Aug 18, 18:44
One more dumb question: If I have a disc with "Digital Copy" but it doesn't say Ultraviolet, then is that something different? -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 17:05 2
- Usually, yes. Sometimes the code will work with UV but you have to do some digging. - David Aug 18, 17:08
- its probably a file you can download/whatever onto your computer -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 18, 17:06
Dumb question: When you get a UV code for a movie, how do you watch it? -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 16:53 8
- you redeem it at flixster or vudu, or in some cases, the studio's website - tRuMaN Aug 18, 16:56 2
  - When you use these sites, do you still have access to extra features and subtitles? -- nm - GregW Aug 18, 17:28 1
    - Usually no. You do with some. - David Aug 18, 17:34
- Via Flixster or Vudu -- nm - David Aug 18, 16:54 4
  - So then that was going to get to my next question of whether we like Vudu. -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 17:01 3
    - (Vudu is already there on the Blu-ray player so that seems the most convenient) -- nm - Dano Aug 18, 17:02 1
      - Vudu is what I use for movies. -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:03

hmm, mccluster is now a full time wr (mostly slot) instead of RB. - tRuMaN Aug 18, 16:51
LYC: I just made my own hot sauce. :-) It burns so good. - Krusty Aug 18, 16:43 3
- I did some shopping at the Hubbell trading post on Friday...bread & butter pickles with jalapeno, garlic pickled with habanero and jalapeno, - MojaveMeg Aug 18, 17:07 1
  - Wow, that's some haul. Lots of peppery goodness! -- nm - Krusty Aug 18, 17:54
- time to take out the contacts ;) -- nm - marcel Aug 18, 16:49
Does DP-3 have incriminating photos of Reagen? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 16:39 29
- [deleted] 1
  - Yes, kilbo got the better of me. It happens. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:05
- The trade doesn't stand ot as lopsided to me. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 16:52 24
  - Andy Dalton is a back up QB in feud. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 16:55 21
    - Maybe I expect more of a jump from Dalton than I should. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 17:07 15
      - 5 ppw is 80 points .... for a guy who is sitting around 12th - 15th in points...he's gotta be improved. Dalton was 25pts behind Vick. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 17:13
      - Ryan is going to be a fantasy stud this year. The new OC is a vertical schemer. - David Aug 18, 17:09 13
        
        it's an easy choice for me vs. Cam, though. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 17:14 11
        
        Obviously. Cam could be the #1 player in fantasy this year. -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:18
        
        Cam will not have the year he had last year. You are near the goal line, who runs it in? Big Tolbert, or your QB? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:16 9
        
        The Pantherss didn't lack for running options last year either. Besides, he'll get better in the passing game. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 17:19 8
        
        But Tolbert is up a level. He will get better passing yards, but think the loss of TDs will still be enough for a loss. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:22 5
        
        Tolbert is up over Williams and Stewart? This isn't golf. Lower grades aren't better. -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:23 4
        
        Goal line? Yes. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:23 3
        
        You're overestimating Tolbert. -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:26 2
        
        Lets check back in mid-season. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:29 1
        
        It's easy to track. Newton had 7 TD runs in the first half o last year. 5 of them were from inside the 5. -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:37
        
        Newton can make passes nobody else in football can. -- nm - David Aug 18, 17:21 1
        
        *blink* -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:22
        
        Yup. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 17:11
    - Sure, but every other team has at worst a coin flip vs Ryan at QB - Reagen Aug 18, 16:59 4
      - The draft starts tomorrow? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 17:10 1
        
        well, soon enough, anyway. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 17:12
      - I'm not saying a word other than JF's assessment of wanting Dalton and the picks - Will Hunting Aug 18, 17:02 1
        
        Sides, I've had tons of players I've wanted to get rid of to assist dp3's rebuild. - Will Hunting Aug 18, 17:03
  - but I think with the state of his team he's looking to get better now. - Reagen Aug 18, 16:54 1
    - Yes, but I don't think QB is the area he really needed to address. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 17:02
- draft's about to start and I'd gotten no takers. Value is value. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 16:48
- Reagen and DP huh? -- nm - budice Aug 18, 16:40
remember when phone books were huge multivolume books you could stack like a step ladder? we got one today, the size of a trade paper back book... - zeitgeist Aug 18, 16:20
World Phone Throwing Champion bests Olympic Javelin distance -- (link) - Reagen Aug 18, 16:17 3

- he was doped, they showed him the phone bill of his teenage daughter first -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 18, 16:20
- "mainly by drinking" -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 16:18
Wow, the Orioles have already promoted their #1 pick this year to High A. -- (link) - Will Hunting Aug 18, 16:04 4
- There are some people saying that his stuff would play in the majors right now. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 16:27 2
  - Yeah, I'd give him more a chance....Bundy has hit his level of competition - Will Hunting Aug 18, 16:30 1
    - I think the rumors of Bundy being called up started around the time Thome did a quick trip to scout him. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 18, 16:58

The manager in the Hanna trailer looks like a cross between old James Garner and Jack Nicholson. It's unreal. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 15:47 2
- Have you met any Kroegers yet? -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 15:51 1
  - Not that I've talked to...but the building we work in is the Henry Kroeger building. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 15:58
in the mail today, netflix gave me Primer. - Truman Aug 18, 15:36 4
- because you placed it on your queue tomorrow? -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 15:46 3
  - no, i am going to put it in the mail monday, watch it tuesday, and place it in my queue next week. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 18, 16:00 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - It's hard to consider it really a spoiler, but I wish people didn't even know this much about it before seeing it. (spoilers inside) - Dano Aug 18, 16:58
