I'd be willing to bet a lot of actors have flipped out on movie sets, only we just started to hear all the gory details in the last few years. -- nm - mafic Feb 3, 09:24 5
- Last night when talking to KD, I mentioned the comparison between this and Phelps' bong hit. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 09:26
- They also need to get themselves into weird emotional places some times so it's not surprising. -- nm - Dano Feb 3, 09:25 1
  - yeah, that's why I'm not that surprised by it (or particularly offended). - mafic Feb 3, 09:28
- This should be one of the advantages of the digital era as we move forward. Asshats can get busted and immortalized in the act. -- nm - David Feb 3, 09:25
- Too true. -- nm - Diva Feb 3, 09:24
nobody cares, but I just ate my risk mgt midterm for *breakfast.* I was the first person done by over half an hour. - candy hearts love mandy lane Feb 3, 09:23 1
- I had a dream that a movie studio rep made me look stupid because I filled out an Entertainment Weekly quiz instead of the math one I was supposed to. -- nm - Max Feb 3, 09:26
10+ cokes a day? Are you filming a documentary for Morgan Spurlock? - JaxSean Feb 3, 09:20
I wonder if T4 will be Bale's Medellin? :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 09:20 3
- This is what I think of whenever I think of Che. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:25
- I do find myself wondering if his mother and sister were not the money-grubbing menaces I had thought them to be. -- nm - David Feb 3, 09:24
- heck no McG is directing it! First of a new trilogy! -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 09:21
[deleted] 24
- Isn't the most Oscar wins by an actor or actress four? If so, two wins is a lot. -- nm - Inigo Feb 3, 09:24
- [deleted] 4
  - FWIW, I think the award should be decided on the performances, not the careers - ty97 Feb 3, 09:23 3
    - you're funny. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:24 1
      - oh, I don't expect the Oscars to work that way, and I'm not horrified that they don't - ty97 Feb 3, 09:25
    - Me too. And both should have more oscars. -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 09:24
- I don't know, but Streep is great in Doubt. - pmb Feb 3, 09:21 5
  - I think she's the weak link in the film, actually. But The Reader is terrible, so... -- nm - Callisto Feb 3, 09:23 2
    - I'd feel sad for Kate if she finally broke through with one of her worst films. - David Feb 3, 09:26
    - Hathaway! -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 09:23
  - [deleted] 1
    - heh, taking into consideration how the academy always rewards people for the wrong movie, that makes Winslet a shoo-in. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:23
- ughh. If I have to watch Kate 'act' stunned and surprised and loss for words again, I am going to throw up. nm - Jovian Feb 3, 09:20 1
  - not as bad as Jamie Foxx giving the same speech at every award shows. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 09:21
- Streep, IMO -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 09:20
- Winslet. 32 years without winning - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:20
- Are you kidding? Winslet by a mile. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 3, 09:19 1
  - and you work talking about movies. - TFox Feb 3, 09:24
- Meryl Streep has only won once? Then her. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:19 2
  - And the reading comprehension award goes to.................. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 09:20 1
    - [deleted]
- knowing how the academy treats actresses, it's win in the next two years or nothing for Winslet. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:19
- Kate, by virtue of not having ever won. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 09:19
- winslet -- nm - Don Homer Feb 3, 09:19
From Brent Spiner's Twitter (no doubt this is sad): Spent my birthday at home. ICarly marathon was on. A sign of a good year to come. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 09:18 2
- he's a funny guy and a terrific actor. Wish he'd get more work. -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 09:20
- I get the feeling that nothing Spiner puts in his twitter is without tongue in cheek -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 09:18
SheFox just e-mailed me; she's at the end of Chrono Trigger already. - TFox Feb 3, 09:17 4
- Does she know there are half a dozen different endings? -- nm - David Feb 3, 09:18 3
  - Nope, but she'll figure it out when she reads further in the walkthrough. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:22
  - And if not, just tell her there are. - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:19
  - plus the DS added content! -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:19
oh yeah, and those opera tickets for Friday? - znufrii Feb 3, 09:16 7
- Wow, amazing seats for that price. Licoln Center or someplace else? -- nm - Krusty Feb 3, 09:21 2
  - yup. at the Met. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 09:22
  - Lincoln too. -- nm - Krusty Feb 3, 09:22
- did you get them this time? -- nm - Diva Feb 3, 09:17 3
  - oh yeah. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 09:20
  - shhhh.... - TFox Feb 3, 09:18 1
    - oh, shut it. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 09:21
Kristen Bell gets some frosting on Ferguson -- (link) - Jovian Feb 3, 09:15 2
- awesome,....she knew immediately how the audience would react. -- nm - Remlik Feb 3, 09:23
- HAH !! Makes me love Ferguson even more -- nm - Jammed Uzi Feb 3, 09:19
Millard Fuller, founder of Habitat for Humanity, passed away this morning: - Andie Feb 3, 09:13 2
- I thought Habitat was a lot older than 32 years old. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:14 1
  - Yeah, seems I remember Jimmy Carter coming to town life fifteen years ago to build houses. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 09:15
You gotta love a movie where a mens room urinal is broken away from the wall and then used as a weapon -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 09:12 4
- You must have *loved* Casino Royale ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 09:14 1
  - I did. -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 09:15
- thats not really the great thing - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 3, 09:13 1
  - True dat. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 09:14
EU attacks "Buy American" clause -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:10 7
- You now care what Europe thinks? -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 09:13 6
  - I'm posting links for informational purposes. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:17 1
    - The title was not "Strongbad attacks 'Buy American' clause" -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:18
  - yeah, I'm amused at this sudden appreciation for trade treaty obligations. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:14 3
    - I wouldn't be surprised if the Buy American clause was inserted by Biden and his friends and rather than for Obama be seen himself to get rid of it, - Loyola Feb 3, 09:20
    - [deleted]
    - (by Republicans in general) -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:14
ugh. South Carolina cops considering charging Michael Phelps. -- (link) - Don Homer Feb 3, 09:10 16
- "Cowan did not specify what charge was being considered and declined to discuss details of the investigation." -- nm - amoxy Feb 3, 09:14
- what're they gonna charge him with? being in a picture with a bong? -- nm - mafic Feb 3, 09:13 7
  - I know, really. At least in my state, narcotics charges are all about possession (unless driving is involved, too) -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 09:17
  - Yeah it seems kind of difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. -- nm - Dano Feb 3, 09:14 5
    - It seems they are perfoming their due diligence (with the publicity, they have little choice) -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 09:17 3
      - I wonder if we can expect Kristen Stewart, Micha Barton & Mary Kate to be arrested soon as well - Epiphany Feb 3, 09:20 1
        
        He's no more immune to the law than anyone else. - ty97 Feb 3, 09:24
      - Agreed. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:17
    - [deleted]
- Shame on them for enforcing a law. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:11 5
  - Shame on them for enforcing pointless laws that merely lead to prison overcrowding and the breeding of crime (because folks learn stuff in the joint) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 09:13 4
    - Sounds like your issue is more with the legislature then, not the enforcement - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:16
    - [deleted] 1
      - I wasn't actually wishing shame upon them, I was mocking Strongbad's phrasing. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 3, 09:18
    - This will not lead to jail -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 09:14
- South Carolina needs its law enforcement budgets cut. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 09:11
Huh. there's more to the Bale rant. -- (link) - Reagen Feb 3, 09:09 22
- he's shooting Pulp Fiction2? -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 3, 09:21
- Wow... I wonder why they edited out everyone else from the original version. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 3, 09:19 2
  - Click the TMZ link version below. I don't know why gawker cut the clip short. -- nm - Dano Feb 3, 09:21
  - this is exactly the version i heard.... -- nm - Andie Feb 3, 09:20
- Can anyone summarize? I can't open this link at work. -- nm - Diva Feb 3, 09:17 6
  - cut and paste (swearing and weird formatting) - Dano Feb 3, 09:18 5
    - What a total douchebag. But I guess that's not surprising from the guy who did the terrible Batman voice. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 3, 09:22
    - My favorite thing in the entire tirade - McG: "I didn't see it happen." - Dano Feb 3, 09:20 3
      - it was that, and that people actually call him McG in regular conversation. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:21
      - to be fair, if McG was watching the performance on a monitor, he wouldn't have seen it. -- nm - Andie Feb 3, 09:21 1
        
        shhh, it's more fun to imagine McG 10-100 during the filming of a scene. -- nm - Dano Feb 3, 09:23
- "We're done, professionally". Right, Christian. How many producers are gonna want to work with you after this gets out? -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 09:16 6
  - Um, all of them? They can hire a different DP. -- nm - Dano Feb 3, 09:17 3
    - It's not only the DP he goes off on. Threatening to walk off sets, assaulting people. The guy's difficult to work with. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 09:18 2
      - probably. so are tons and tons of actors. really, this will hurt his career not a bit. -- nm - Andie Feb 3, 09:19 1
        
        For the same reason he's such a sought after star (TDK), I bet this now makes the mainstream media. - Mop Feb 3, 09:25
  - tons, it won't matter. -- nm - Andie Feb 3, 09:17
  - I'm sure after 550mil from TDK and 200mil + from T4 upcoming, he'll have zero problem with people wanting to work with him. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:17
- The gawker clip was only partial.... TMZ has the whole thing. -- (link) - Dano Feb 3, 09:12
- Holy crap. - kelly Feb 3, 09:12
- [deleted] 1
  - I bet he's having a bad day today, too. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 3, 09:19
I've decided the ultimate HIMYM scene - thus, jumping the shark - will be Ed Bagley battling Bob Barker. -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 09:08
a friend of mine has a great tape of bill murray yelling at him for letting his cell go off during a scene. - mafic Feb 3, 09:05 1
- I still want to see the video of Patti LuPone oging off on an audience member for taking pictures during her big number in Gypsy a couple weeks ago. -- nm - znufrii Feb 3, 09:15
Boy I bet we wish we hadn't done all that yammering about WMD a few years ago with Iran lauching satillites now. - Mel Profit Feb 3, 09:05 2
- Yeah that would be a great idea. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 3, 09:08
- well Iran is an easier case to prove WMD's then IRAQ ever was -- nm - Dane Duke Nuuk Feb 3, 09:07
Huh. Did ST know that CQ started his own Politics website? -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:04
It's comical that PC Mag would think I would want to read their magazine in Zinio format. - Mop Feb 3, 09:04
I can't wait for the new Terminator. -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 09:04 16
- [deleted] 15
  - I liked it. There was a great action sequence in the middle and the nding rocked.... - Remlik Feb 3, 09:26
  - I thought the didn't really do anything new with the series and it just existed to exist until the final five minutes when the pay off came. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 09:14 3
    - I think the minor reveals add a lot more in hindsight. (spoils) - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:16 2
      - T4 rumoured spoilers to bring into the discussion for those that know them... - Name Withheld By Request Feb 3, 09:20 1
        
        If T3 ends up being the weakest link of a 4+ part series, it's the greatest franchise in Hollywood history. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:22
  - I liked it fine. The first one is still my fave. -- nm - Callisto Feb 3, 09:11
  - it's not up to the standards of the first two, but it's a worthy addition to the series. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:11
  - it was on tv here a few days ago. I enjoyed it. -- nm - mafic Feb 3, 09:09
  - I'd rank them something like....T1 = 7 (horribly dated)...T2 = 9.5...T3 = 7.5 - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:08
  - I loved T3. I think the setup they did there for the franchise sans-Arnie was genius - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 3, 09:07
  - There were a few scenes in there that made the whole movie worth while for me. Most of it was decent. - con_carne Feb 3, 09:07
  - I think maybe I need to rewatch it. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:06
  - I thought T3 was the best and the other 2 sucked balls. -- nm - Loyola Feb 3, 09:06 2
    - Bartender! -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 09:10
    - A Crazy person says "What?" -- nm - amoxy Feb 3, 09:09
I was cleaning through some old papers (missed one box from the move) and found my credit score from about 4-5 years back. - ty97 Feb 3, 09:03 8
- I need to fix mine, if I ever want a house. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:04 7
  - paying on time, consisently, seems to make the most difference. - ty97 Feb 3, 09:05 6
    - shocker -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 3, 09:09
    - Yeah, I need to find another way. I don't feel like doing that. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:06 4
      - ermmmmm - ty97 Feb 3, 09:07 3
        
        (i'm pretty sure he was kidding). I pay something (if i can't pay all) towards my cards every time i get paid. - Andie Feb 3, 09:10
        
        I'm teasing, in my situation it's really more complicated than that. - TFox Feb 3, 09:09 1
        
        Obviously you need to have octouplets -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 3, 09:12
B2 Mop: It's only 12 a week if you're using the 10-point codes - Strongbad Feb 3, 09:02 3
- I use the 10-point cardboard box lids. This new rule screws me. I might not be able to get all my codes in over a full year! -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 09:03 2
  - You should try water. It's delicious. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:03 1
    - *pop* *fizzzzzzzz* *glug glug glug glug glug glug glug* *aaaaaaaaaaah* So, how are you enjoying your Coke Zero? -- nm - Mop Feb 3, 09:05
David probably posted this link a few days ago, but -- (link) - amoxy Feb 3, 09:01

- You reminded me to post this: ESPN is running a Battle of the Budgets draft. - TFox Feb 3, 09:02 6
  - [deleted]
  - I'm laughing at their commentary. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:04 4
    - It's funny, it is very actual fantasy draftish and pseudo-professional. -- nm - TFox Feb 3, 09:04 3
      - I think I like Olney's team. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:06 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        That'd be my 2nd pick. - Will Hunting Feb 3, 09:10
