      - never saw it, but I did think fred savage was about the luckiest kid in the world for being in a movie about playing nintendo. - mafic Aug 21, 19:52 8
        
        I still remember the immortal "Keep your Power Gloves off of her" line. - Reagen Aug 21, 20:01 2
        
        I don't think powergloves had motion control, did they? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 20:29 1
        
        motion control was the point of it. - Reagen Aug 21, 20:30
        
        The IM is the truth. -- nm - Other David Aug 21, 19:53 4

      - 10 year old Tim's favorite movie. -- nm - Tim Aug 21, 19:35 5
        
        I idly wonder how much Jenny Lewis hears "I loved you in the Wizard!" from fans at concerts. -- nm - Tim Aug 21, 19:58
        
        I half-liked it, half-hated it -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 19:50 3
        
        Although in retrospect, I wonder how much of it I'm confusing with Mac & Me -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 19:51 2
        
        A lot. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 19:51 1
        
        It was just creepy. But, for some reason, I have a mental image of a dinosaur park from The Wizard, and that strikes me as creepy too. - Beryllium Aug 21, 19:53
    - Like, on a second date. -- nm - nubby Aug 21, 19:31

As if we didn't have enough reason to dislike Todd Akin, he is a staunch opponent of OnLine Poker -- (link) - amoxy Aug 21, 19:21 1
- Next he will try and ban Strip Billiards. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 21, 19:38
from b2: Prince Harry. Do want. -- nm - Qale Aug 21, 19:16 4
- Back of the line, kid. -- nm - nubby Aug 21, 19:24 3
  - Behind MDH? ... well, okay! -- nm - Qale Aug 21, 19:41 1
    - This thread took a wrong turn. (nm) - nubby Aug 21, 19:45
  - Teah I think that was the idea. -- nm - Under the Influence Aug 21, 19:28
The Dictator really lost me around the 50 minute mark. - David Aug 21, 19:01 2

  - (spoils) - Beryllium Aug 21, 20:00
Wait, I like Avril. A lot. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 21, 19:00 11
- From the D. - Spawn Aug 21, 20:19 1
  - eesh -- nm - JaxSean Aug 21, 20:26
- Me too. She and Kristen are so cute to me -- nm - zork Aug 21, 19:43
- I just can't picture it. 14 carat ring is pretty damn serious - Epiphany Aug 21, 19:13 5
  - I wonder if they'll have the wedding in his shitty hometown or her shitty hometown. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 19:34 2
    - don't you talk that way about napanee! though I think technically she was born in the same town as Andie. -- nm - mafic Aug 21, 20:07
    - Winnipeg. Halfway point to both. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 21, 19:50
  - huh, if it's brilliant cut that's about 1.5cm across. that's... quite large. -- nm - mafic Aug 21, 19:19 1
    - He's overcompensating for that fug face of his - Epiphany Aug 21, 19:43
- I'm pretty much ambivalent on her and nickelback, any "hating" I do is completely in jest -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 19:02 1
  - Random fact: the first big name concert I saw was an Avril one -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 19:04
Kat Dennings will be back in Thor. -- nm - Remlik Aug 21, 18:50 2
- I really like her and happened to see her here a couple of years ago during TIFF. -- nm - zork Aug 21, 20:05
- meow meow. -- nm - Max Aug 21, 19:28
You gotta love a woman who is disappointed to draft Trent Richardson. -- nm - David Aug 21, 18:49
Of the upcoming Marvel movies prior to Avengers 2, Iron Man 3 will have the biggest opening, followed by Captain America 2 and then Thor 2, right? - prayformojo Aug 21, 18:48 21
- I thought Thor was much much MUCH better than Captain America. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 21, 18:50 5
  - I thought thor was terrible, but captain america was only moderately bad. - mafic Aug 21, 19:25
  - That's cause you're a stinky doodie head! - Stephen Aug 21, 19:08
  - Around the same. $65M opening weekends for both, ~$170M total. -- nm - Roger More Aug 21, 19:06
  - I watched them back to back, I thought they were both good. Both better than I expected. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 18:58 1
    - I actually disliked Capt America. It was OK for most of the way, but I hated the ending. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 21, 19:19
- Since people liked Thor more, it should open higher than Cappy. -- nm - David Aug 21, 18:50 14
  - what I missread...six people liked Thor more -- nm - peglegpete Aug 21, 19:26
  - Captain America certainly was much improved in Avengers though. -- nm - Qale Aug 21, 19:13 3
    - They all were. That's why the situation is complicated. Like, I could see The Hulk opening *huge* now. -- nm - David Aug 21, 19:15 2
      - 11 years later, I could be right! -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 19:35 1
        
        I still recall the Dallas Morning News talking smack about us over Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. -- nm - David Aug 21, 19:43
  - Care to hazard a guess as to what they'll open to? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 21, 18:54 8
    - It's tricky because Avengers is so far beyond that estimating how far it lifts the other films is guesswork right now. - David Aug 21, 18:58 7
      - $90 for Thor, $80s for Cap and $155 for Iron Man. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 19:40
      - that feels a bit high for Iron Man, but good for the other two. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 19:17 5
        
        See, I feel like if anything, Iron Man benefits the most. Iron Man 2 did $128 million without an Avengers bump. -- nm - David Aug 21, 19:19 4
        
        It depends a lot on what they put out there for a concept and a trailer, but I don't think there's as much room for a bump there. -- nm - Reagen Aug 21, 19:24 1
        
        I go back and forth on this. An argument could be made that there is $80 million worth of room. -- nm - David Aug 21, 19:40
        
        I guess I have to get around to see The Avengers some time this year -- nm - prayformojo Aug 21, 19:21 1
        
        I will own an Ultraviolet license of it on September 25. - David Aug 21, 19:29
Wait, does the trader person run newageflix or we just on some sort of UV list? -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Aug 21, 18:48 1
- Different guy. -- nm - David Aug 21, 18:49
I thought we learned the names of the returning Survivors a couple months ago. -- nm - the liioulu with books Aug 21, 18:46 3
- That's the inside joke that Kim and Jim are sharing -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 18:57 2
  - Those Brats!!! I just figured Jim being the fan he is totally nailed it. If it was on ST before - likely during daytime ST when I am not as likely to - Qale si Aug 21, 20:52
  - Aaaahhh.. -- nm - the liioulu on a nook for the heck of it Aug 21, 19:48
Plants vs. Zombies (my mom's favorite game on her iPad) sequel confirmed for first half of 2013. -- nm - Tim Aug 21, 18:46
National Anal Sex Month!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 18:44 6
- Only if it's *legitimate* anal sex. -- nm - nubby akin Aug 21, 19:07 1
  - I can't imagine he likes it up to pooper -- nm - amoxy Aug 21, 19:19
- wouldn't you know it, national political conventions happening, coincidense? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 21, 19:04
- You are not making this a " thang" - Epiphany Aug 21, 18:48 1
  - It is real, and it is spectacular! -- (link) - Spawn Aug 21, 19:44
- Nasm -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 18:46
