- Have you seen it yet? -- nm - MDH Sep 19, 19:00 1

  - just curious what are you paying for a box? -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 18:29 10
    - $110, his normal current set price. I've seen it a lot higher elsewhere. The initial demand for it will be off the charts. -- nm - Tim Sep 19, 18:35 4
      - we sell for $100 -- nm - Remlik Sep 19, 18:42 1

      - I say 'was' because they've already sold out what they're calling the 'first wave' of boxes. -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 18:47 3
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Tim Sep 19, 18:47 2
        
        So what does this do for the market later? I imagine the singles will be cratering with so many copies out there. -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 18:51 1
        
        The lands will be in demand for a long long time, but they won't dip much below $10 if at all. - Tim Sep 19, 18:57
  - I have not ordered a box. I'm going to be at Alchemy during the pre-release. Man I hope there is product left when I get back. -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 18:27

  - Live fire causes brush fires which, so far, they've been able to control. -- nm - Meg Sep 19, 16:40 2

    - Speaking of which, did ST see this news from last month about a teacher having group sex with students and allowing it to be recorded? -- (link) - Fuzzy Sep 19, 16:42 2
      - Yes, this was a local story. She got off easy because all the guys were 18. Convicted on all 16 counts, total 5 years. -- (link) - GregW Sep 19, 17:18 1
        
        Oh, I wouldn't say she got off easy -- nm - rollo Sep 19, 18:43

Indiana Jones bluray is a beautiful looking transfer. The audio sounds great. They did it right. -- nm - Bacon Sep 19, 16:04 3
- I was tempted to buy this off of Vudu but it's not a UV copy and it costs the same as the Blu-Ray. -- nm - David Sep 19, 16:07 2
  - On Vudu is it the entire set or can you buy them as singles? I wouldn't want you to miss out on Temple of Doom in your HD collection -- nm - Bacon Sep 19, 16:10 1
    - That's the other thing. You have to get them all. -- nm - David Sep 19, 16:18

  - Seriously? -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 16:38 3
    - fox is basically a romney cheerleading squad anyway, what difference if they're officially on the campaign? - mafic Sep 19, 16:42 2
      - If they claim to be "Fair & Balanced", then they need to be. As I said, there are still people (largely elderly) that think it is a straight up news - Spawn Sep 19, 16:52 1
        
        I agree, they should be, but there's really no way to force it, and this is no different than they've ever been. -- nm - mafic Sep 19, 17:34
- I think at this point Fox News qualifies as fictional comedy and comes under purview of the Entertainment division. - Trish Sep 19, 16:14
- John Bolton? No way! -- nm - Roger More Sep 19, 16:07 1
  - *throws a phone at your head* -- nm - JB Sep 19, 16:15
- Eh. If it was a real news organization this would be bad, but everyone knows that Fox is behind the republican candidates anyway, so how much - pmb Sep 19, 16:05 1
  - The sad thing is, there are people that honestly do not think so. -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 16:40
Big Brother has been renewed for next summer -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 16:00 1
- Works for me. I'd be disappointed to come into the summer and not have BB on TV. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Sep 19, 16:10
one of my classes could be summed up as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Classroom" - Reagen Sep 19, 15:55 8
- I listen to Benny Goodman -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 16:29
- Have we mentioned that Kim's sister teaches several classes along these lines? -- nm - David Sep 19, 16:08 2
  - the text itself is pretty good. the prof just rubs me the wrong way. -- nm - Reagen Sep 19, 16:12 1

Thanks, Mop. Now the fundies are showing up in the ads on the side. -- nm - spamlet Sep 19, 15:50
Yarrrr! Be there a Krispy Kreme on yer way home from work, matey? -- (link) - Dread Pirate Vermin Sep 19, 15:50
I leave the house for like 10 minutes and apparently there is KRB/Sister Armageddon. Sadly not live on PPV. - Qale Sep 19, 15:46 7
- I would presume it'll end up blowing over and it'll be status quo eventually. - Qale Sep 19, 15:47 6
  - He hit your sister? - Spawn Sep 19, 15:57 5
    - It's allegedly cause I wasn't witness to it. Of course, I'm also not physically capable of kicking him out. -- nm - Qale Sep 19, 16:08 4
      - It could end up a very messy process if she's really intent on leaving him. As he's been paying 'rent' he would have to be formally evicted. - Qale Sep 19, 16:12 3
        
        I am just gonna back out of the conversation, here. - Spawn Sep 19, 16:53 2
        
        I might say for Qale that it's time for a ...... - Remlik Sep 19, 16:54 [youtube] 1
