I wonder if James Cameron paused his PVR to take special note of who was laughing. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 07:53 2
- "unemployment jumps 50k in one week..." -- nm - budice Jan 14, 07:59 1
  - L3. Honestly though, Cameron knows...he's been married like 6 times. -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 08:03
"And then when she said, 'Yoooouuu.... Get out of here!'" -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 07:48 38
- [deleted] 1
  - I think hosting they'd be too much. But I thought the bit was hilarious. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 07:59
- A banner night for SNL alumni. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 07:50 34
  - Even Fallon was funny and didn't break. - Reagen Jan 14, 07:59 7
    - i thought it was funny. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 08:00 6
      - People mocking themselves or their situations is always good. Hell, Sly and Arnie was even funny. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:01 5
        
        (I think Tina probably wrote most of the banter.) nm - Dignan Jan 14, 08:03 1
        
        Oh, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:05
        
        "How long have you been here??" nm - Dignan Jan 14, 08:02
        
        I thought Arnie looked kinda pisse at Sly when he kept on him (seemed like he went off script near the end) -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 08:02 1
        
        But of *course* he did. - Spawn Jan 14, 08:02
  - Well, the hosts. Wiig and Ferrell bombed horribly. -- nm - David Jan 14, 07:55 23
    - It was funny. But, people didn't get that they weren't reading the actual nominations, but doing a bit. So, I think they felt offended - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:58 6
      - People didn't get it? That gag had the subtlety of a Gallagher watermelon. -- nm - David Jan 14, 08:03
      - Disagreed. People got it, but it was just a little too much. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:02
      - you don't think people got it? -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 07:58 3
        
        I could see there was an unsettled tone in the room -- nm - budice Jan 14, 08:00 1
        
        For Emily Blunt, yeah. Then they caught on. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 08:02
        
        I think they thought that the screwing around was the nominations being read, and that they were being too insincere (if that's possible at the GGs). -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 08:00
    - It killed. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 07:56
    - [deleted]
    - it was way too long. i didn't hate the concept. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 07:55 12
      - After they'd done two, I said out loud, "Please don't do all of them." - David Jan 14, 08:02 8
        
        So what you are saying is, it was just like an SNL skit? -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:04 7
        
        Yes, which explains why dignan liked it while I desperately wanted it to end. -- nm - David Jan 14, 08:05 6
        
        Listen to your friend Reagen Zane. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 08:06 5
        
        This thread took less time than the unconscionable length of that bit. -- nm - David Jan 14, 08:08 4
        
        The crowd loved it. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 08:10 3
        
        I think that you noticed the people in the crowd you wanted to see. - David Jan 14, 08:13 2
        
        I'm sure some people thought it was inappropriate. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 08:21 1
        
        Oh, the James Cameron joke was priceless. Fey and Poehler were sublime. -- nm - David Jan 14, 08:23
      - I think it would work a lot better if you believed it were improvised in the moment and wasn't pre-written and practiced. -- nm - Ender Jan 14, 08:00
      - ditto -- nm - budice Jan 14, 07:58
      - I agree. It went on and on and on -- nm - prayformojo Jan 14, 07:57
    - [deleted]
  - saved for Fey getting porked out of an award. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 14, 07:51
  - *glares at you* -- nm - Tommy Lee Jones Jan 14, 07:51
- IMO, they were funny as shit, before they said a word. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:49
a second interview thanks question - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:46 25
- On the one hand, I think handwritten is still better and generates more favorable impression. - TFox Jan 14, 08:00
- Does it have to be a thanks "letter?" Can you just do a short card/note? I think a printed card, with a quick signature and thanks would suffice -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:51
- i like handwriting much better, but if your's is really that bad, then maybe type it, but use small notepaper - Andie Jan 14, 07:49 17
  - yeah, i dont have any of that at work (or at home i guess) - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:50 16
    - gte something at lunch? tj maxx has great inexpensive stationery. or marshalls or homegoods or whatever. -- nm - amanda Jan 14, 07:53
    - it doesn't have to *match*, it just has to look like you didn't type it up at work on whatever was handy. - Andie Jan 14, 07:52 14
      - (also - buy yourself a box of thank you cards to have on hand for this.) - Andie Jan 14, 07:53 10
        
        also, a full size thank you card is personal, not professional. you need the *packaged* kind for professional thank yous. -- nm - amanda Jan 14, 07:56 9
        
        good idea. I used one of these -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 08:02
        
        yes, something simple, classic. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 07:58
        
        A huge one (think novelty check) would help him stand out from the pack. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 07:57 6
        
        obvs have it delivered by singing telegram. make sure it's a clown who delivers it. -- nm - amanda Jan 14, 08:00 3
        
        A sad, horny clown. Good idea. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 08:01 1
        
        *glances over at groiny* - oblique [223] Jan 14, 08:02
        
        stripper gram even better -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 08:01
        
        or, he could just send an email one from someecards. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 07:58 1
        
        I SAID NOVELTY CHECK SIZE nm - Dignan Jan 14, 07:59
      - get some of that kindergarden's paper, with the huge lines and chunks of tree in it. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:52 2
        
        i think i am going to help bacon tbag the - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:53 1
        
        he has to play to be able to even attempt that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:54
- have someone else hand write it for you? - groiny Jan 14, 07:48 1
  - "I almost cracked up when you said 'duties' during the interview. Glad I didn't 'step in' that one. LOL" - oblique [223] Jan 14, 08:00
- I would 100% type it, fwiw. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:47
- You should use comic sans as your font. That will give you the feeling of handwriting in a typed letter - oblique [223] Jan 14, 07:47 1
  - *punches you in the face* - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:48
Crisis! The local cafe has Sloppy Joe on Thursday this week but Thursday is Chipotle day - oblique [223] Jan 14, 07:42 15
- speaking of, both a Chipolte and a Qdoba are opening here about 5 min from my office - decline Jan 14, 07:50 8
  - [deleted]
  - either they just opened, or I just noticed a Chipotle in between the train and the office. - znufrii Jan 14, 07:53
  - Damn! You people are killing me. I'm trying to start a 5 week "better eating" thing, today. Now all I want is a burrito -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:51 5
    - have a bowl instead. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 07:53 4
      - Good point. A bowl, sans cheese. -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:55 3
        
        Bowl: Rice, pinto beans, steak, tomato salsa, corn, cheese - oblique [223] Jan 14, 07:57
        
        *fails to see the point of forgoing the best parts* -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 07:56 1
        
        I'm don't believe a flour tortilla has ever been considered one of the best parts of anything. -- nm - Ender Jan 14, 08:03
- how is that a crisis, exactly? -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 07:44
- *consults Think Tank* could you...omg, I can't even believe I'm going to suggest this...go to Chipotle on WEDNESDAY? - Diva Jan 14, 07:44
- two lunches. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:44
- Schedule First Lunch and Second Lunch -- nm - prayformojo Jan 14, 07:44
- Go to Subway and eat fresh? -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 07:42 1
  - *rejects your insanity* I dutifully eat my salad every other day of the week - oblique [223] Jan 14, 07:43
hey remlik, i found a perfect tv for you -- (link) - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:38 5
- [deleted] 3
  - Pacific rim sounds like something you'd pay for in Thailand. nm - Dignan Jan 14, 07:48 2
    - If that doesn't end up in a review, from like The Village Voice, I will be disappointed. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 14, 07:53
    - I just laughed so hard I snorted. -- nm - Was Bar Was, Vampirates Primogen Jan 14, 07:52
- Sidebar. I *love* those telepresence robots. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 07:39
spawn should be happy, the company that makes the batman video games - tRuMaN Jan 14, 07:31 6
- Not just Spawn. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 14, 08:01
- I'd think Batman Arkham Universe or Batman Arkham Legend becomes the official title -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:34 3
  - There's a nice bit of dialogue in Arkham City you overhear from some henchmen. - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 14, 07:39 2
    - Ha (to your IM)! Arkham City will be hard to top, but Arkham Universe, if you fight AGAINST the JLA, would be sweet. -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:47 1
      - That sounds like it'd be a Muh-mor-puh-re-guh. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 08:01
- That is correct! - Spawn Jan 14, 07:32
[deleted] 3
- It's a step up from Sparano. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 07:30 1
  - I'm not sure that's true. David probably thinks it is more like a ladder up from Sparano. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 14, 08:05
- awesome. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 14, 07:25
The semester is 2.5 hours old and it's already gone to shit. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jan 14, 07:25 10

  - wait what? why? -- nm - amanda Jan 14, 07:46 1
    - yeah, my classes don't start until next Wednesday - znufrii Jan 14, 07:55
- That end of semester paper... can I get an extension? -- nm - Was Bar Was, Vampirates Primogen Jan 14, 07:30
- [deleted] 5
  - But then what would be the point of being a professor? - ty97 Jan 14, 07:29 4
    - The ability to wear tweed jackets with elbow patches of course. - Krusty Jan 14, 07:32 3
      - this. -- nm - znufrii Jan 14, 07:35
      - Homer, it's leather patches on a tweed blazer, not the other way around. You've ruined a perfectly good jacket! -- nm - Was Bar Was, Vampirates Primogen Jan 14, 07:33 1
        
        :-) -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 07:35
Golf - Youtube: Funny vid (ala Larry/MJ Mickey-Ds) Tiger introduces Rory McIlroy to the Nike Golf Team -- (link) - budice Jan 14, 07:24 [youtube]
Who was the one that talked about, Harvey killing someone to get her on stage (jokingly), but man that hit home. I think HBO must have someone that - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:20 2
- i actually loved that (Jennifer Lawrence.) -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 07:22 1
  - That's it! Me too. She deserved the award, but glad she eluded to it, definitely been some folks that won, that shouldn't have due to his blitz -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:25
Happy National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day!!! Woo hoo!!! - Krusty Jan 14, 07:18 5

    - *corned* -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 07:28
    - that's right -- nm - Don Homer Jan 14, 07:28
"Scowl!" -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 07:18

    - do we know about meg, aka "that b*tch who always steals my seat"? she wears these all the time, usually in white. we think she's trying - amanda Jan 14, 07:47
    - yeah - bleh. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 07:45

- The photo of Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard kissing is adorable -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 07:33

- Sarah Hyland's head looks ENORMOUS in that picture. -- nm - Subversive Jan 14, 07:30 5
  - There's some weird perspective issues there. See also Naomi Watts. -- nm - Ryan Seacrest Jan 14, 07:31 4
    - Look at Amy Adams date, looks like someone put him in a stretching machine -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:33 3
      - That would require I stop looking at Amy Adams. -- nm - Was Bar Was, Vampirates Primogen Jan 14, 07:35 2
        
        Aarrgghhh..Damn autofill. Word -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:41
        
        Word. Sorta rambled about Gregory Peck, and Costner's first GG he went to. Sounded like he wanted to complain about something (or someone), but -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:41
- Tina Fey looked gorgeous -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:27 6
  - I liked Tina and Amy's Hunger Games and Life Of Pi jokes as regards to getting into their dresses for the ceremony. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 07:47
  - she always looks impressive on the Red Carpet. - Mel Profit Jan 14, 07:45 1
    - Good point. Ditto her hair too -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:49
  - she needs to be cast as Anna Kendrick's mother in something. Can't you see the similarities? -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 07:28 2
    - Ha! Yes! Never noticed that. Awesome! -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:30
    - yes indeed. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:29
- Fish tail dresses and Angelina leg seemed to be the theme -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:27 5
  - Except, ironically for Stacy Kiebler, who didn't show an ounce of leg. -- nm - Ender Jan 14, 07:29 4
    - I liked her dress though - she looked better than Heidi Klum -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:29 2
      - Heidi's dress was actually not the most flattering on her. I mean, she gorgeous, and she still looked better than 99.99% of humanity, but the dress - Andie Jan 14, 07:35 1
        
        agreed -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:37
    - she looked gorgeous though -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 07:29
- Some thoughts, in no particular order - ty97 Jan 14, 07:27 8
  - I like Taylor's dress too, don't love JLo's. -- nm - Andie Jan 14, 07:30 5
    - agreed. the purple was gorgeous but I'm worried about her weight. I wanted to love JLo's and I almost did - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:31 2
      - I loved it (JLo's dress) in the telecast, but it fails on the red carpet -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:36 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 07:38
    - Taylor is starting to look ice queenish, like Nicole Kidman. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 07:30 1
      - Which is awesome for her. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 07:32
  - did Salma have some face work done? noticeably around the eyes? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:28 1
    - I think so. that's not her original nose, either. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 07:30
- That's a lot of mermaid tail -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 14, 07:25 1
  - yup. not a fan of nude dresses. I think I like Hayden's dress the most -she looked great. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 14, 07:28
- Jennifer Lawrence, as hot as she is, I will always see 'crazy' in those eyes, due to SLP -- nm - Flavorize Jan 14, 07:23
- my favorite part of the whole gallery is the mega awkward Seacrest-Hough kiss. -- nm - loosilu Jan 14, 07:20 2
  - What? I am totally heterosexually attracted to her. -- nm - Ryan Seacrest Jan 14, 07:29 1
