anyone have a good rule of thumb on estimating seller's closing costs? - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:56 3
- How much you are paying your agent, their agent + 2% ish? Ask your agent, they should know a good ballpark. -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 06:58 1
  - going to meet with my agent this evening, just trying to work out my math. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:59
- About 5 percent. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 06:57
"with images being recorded before pressing the shutter button." .. wtf?? -- (link) - marcel Feb 17, 06:53 1
- It's a P&S isn't it? So it wouldn't even have a mecanical shutter, just a sensor. - Guigue Feb 17, 06:58
Dowdy Hoody! -- nm - lileve Feb 17, 06:48 1
- TMI. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 06:53
Anybody ever had a CT Scan? i'm going with a friend tonight and she really doesn't know how long the scan itself will take. - Andie Feb 17, 06:42 13
- I've had a few cranial scans...took about 30 mins IIRC. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:53
- I think he looked at me kind of funny in Vegas. I'd say 30 seconds. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 06:51 2
  - He looked at everybody that way. -- nm - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 17, 06:52 1
    - *sob* I thought I was special. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 06:56
- I had one of those open-air ones for my wrist and it took probably 15. That was nothing compared to the MRI. That was a good hour. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 06:51
- Depends how tired his eyes are that day. -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 06:47
- I had my torso done, the scan itself took like 2 or 3 minutes. - mafic Feb 17, 06:45 4
  - and the CT scanners in vancouver book in 15 minute intervals, if that helps (like they plan on 15 minutes per patient, all-in). -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 06:47 1
    - awesome, thanks everyone. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 06:48
  - Are you sure that wasn't just a homeless letch with a cardboard box? -- nm - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 17, 06:46 1
    - he said his offices were being renovated! -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 06:48
- Depends on where? My facial one took about 3 minutes. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:43 1
  - brain. but i'm sure it will be about the same. good to know. - Andie Feb 17, 06:44
Hey look, another Patriot was juicing: Larry Izzo. -- (link) - TFox Feb 17, 06:42 3
- you'd make a great firefighter. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 06:54 1
  - You've got to own the story by posting it freely. - TFox Feb 17, 06:57
- That's a fantastic test the NFL has. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:42

- I'm still trying to figure out how Jai Ho gets nominated - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:42 6
  - The theories are... - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:43 1
    - I, for one, would like to see songs nominated that were actually, you know... - znufrii Feb 17, 06:54
  - The Best Song category has always been a joke. But the real answer as to why it got nominated: it's in Slumdog Millionaire. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 06:43 3
    - Or maybe because it's a good song. -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 06:54 1
      - it's a *great* song. - Callisto Feb 17, 06:56
    - Surprised they haven't come up with a new Oscar category... - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:44
- this is from like, five days ago, old man. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:41 1

- I found Button's "look what we can do with computers!" way too distracting, maybe that's what the Guilds thought too. -- nm - LMS Feb 17, 07:01
- It's far better than RotK. It has 1 ending. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:44 7
  - [deleted] 2
    - Eh, let's not kid ourselves. The only reason ROTK won anywhere near what it did was that the academy was trying to honor the whole trilogy. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 06:48 1
      - [deleted]
  - My next opus will be 7 hours long, including 6 false-starts and 15 endings! -- nm - Peter Jackson Feb 17, 06:45 3
    - C'mon...his cut of King Kong has the ape dying for about 10% of the original's entire length. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:49 1
      - Yeah. (Though, to be fair, editing isn't just about shortening a movie.) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 06:50
    - Best Tintin movie *EVER*! -- nm - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:47
- Of course, winning awards doesn't necessarily equate to being good/great (in regards to your ROTK comment). - Don Homer Feb 17, 06:42 1
  - [deleted]
- Why do I remember you *gushing* over Slumdog at one point? -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 06:39 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - I think the sweep is partially due to lack of competition from other films. - ty97 Feb 17, 06:46 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Button and Wall-E are certainly deserving of their technical noms (I haven't seen TDK). - ty97 Feb 17, 06:51
    - ah, maybe not. I think it was in the context of bagging on Wall-E, and you and I don't hold that one in the same esteem. - TFox Feb 17, 06:46
- and you all have no souls! -- nm - JackDawson si Feb 17, 06:39
- Dawson, repost from yesterday, I saw Avenue Q and loved it. -- nm - MDH Feb 17, 06:39 4

    - It was (see inside) - MDH Feb 17, 06:43 2

So, let me get this straight - I eat like crap but am able to donate blood. Then I change my diet, adding a lot of iron-rich foods, and now my iron - kelly Feb 17, 06:35 21
- At least you can still iron Will's clothes. *runs* -- nm - Redmond Feb 17, 06:49
- are you getting enough B12 so you can incorporate the iron? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:37 3
  - I just went back and checked B12 and didn't find anything on there that might be helpful to anyone. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:39 2
    - hee! -- nm - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 17, 06:47
    - *smacks you* -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:40
- Don't get me and Jack started about us not being able to donate. -- nm - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 17, 06:37 13
  - I understand completely why Jack cannot donate blood. - Redmond Feb 17, 06:48
  - I have mad cow! woo! - mafic Feb 17, 06:43 1
    - I think it's about time for them to lift that restriction. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:44
  - I'm not getting anyone started about anything - I'm talking about just me and my screwy iron level. -- nm - kelly Feb 17, 06:39 4
    - Yes, I realized that too late. -- nm - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 17, 06:44
    - mine's messed up too. They told me it's influenced by stuff like time of the month, and coffee intake. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:40
    - [deleted] 1
      - Oh. Funny. -- nm - kelly Feb 17, 06:41
  - well, I can't any more because I took a trip to Algeria. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:38 4
    - Lie. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 06:45 2
      - ?? -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:47 1
        
        hmmm, maybe you're right. I just assumed that's why they stopped calling me. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:49
    - euphemism? -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 06:39
- perhaps you need to bring some steel bars to munch on at work. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:37 1
  - would you stop that nail-biting please? -- nm - cow orker si Feb 17, 06:39
[deleted] 1
- I wonder if I should delete my torrents before I cross a border again. -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 06:40
LYC: Blindness B-, unlike most movies, I wish I had known what this was about prior to watching - Epiphany Feb 17, 06:26 4
- I saw the premiere in Toronto... ENTIRE ROWS were cleared by the end (including cast/crew) -- nm - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:27 3
  - Although I'm sure Todd Manning would appreciate the completely gratuitous shower scene :) -- nm - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:28 2
    - *giggle* was told to ssshhh it by my husband when I was like " this is an odd scene for this movie" *spoils* - Epiphany Feb 17, 06:37 1
      - Well (spoilers) - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:38
Will, re: MoW - znufrii Feb 17, 06:22 7
- [deleted] 6
  - I think even to mention it would have served to make the movie about *that* - znufrii Feb 17, 06:40 5
    - It was all about the Towers. It was indeed the elephant in the room. How great he was and his accomplishment - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:46 2
      - his masterpiece was gone as soon as he stepped off the wire. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 06:47 1
        
        Yet it sure seemed through out the entire movie, he was still in love with his actions from that day. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:54
    - [deleted] 1
      - it couldn't help but not be, given it's subject matter. - znufrii Feb 17, 06:44

- Cool, we needed a new old defensive player. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 06:25 1

Will Re:Wall-E (spoilers) - ty97 Feb 17, 06:20 16
- Yeah, I agree. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 06:22
- I think it was so over the top and ham-handed in the context of the rest of the movie, that it almost didn't deserve to be in the same vicinity as - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:22 14
  - I fully and completely agree with Will. The B store was standard, cheap, boilerplate Hollywood storytelling. - TWuG Feb 17, 06:45 4
    - [deleted] 2
      - At the risk of agreeing with znu....I felt it was fully developed in a subtle way, without forcing it down your throat. -- nm - ty97 Feb 17, 06:56
      - For me, all the development that is needed in that regard - znufrii Feb 17, 06:53
    - And with this post, Will is proven wrong. - ty97 Feb 17, 06:48
  - I think it fit exactly with the theme of (spoilers) - ty97 Feb 17, 06:25 5
    - It's funny that we got a lesson in consumerism from Disney. - Inigo Feb 17, 06:42
    - And I thought the point was (spoilers) - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:31
    - Oh, I understand what they were trying to go for; i just think they failed, in contrast to the rest; it's even more glaring. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:28 2
      - And I thought they nailed it. I guess that's what make art interesting. - ty97 Feb 17, 06:41
      - I felt the same way you did when I first watched it - my opinion changed a little upon a second viewing. -- nm - kelly Feb 17, 06:36
  - I think the last thing I'd characterize the B-story as is "easy". - TFox Feb 17, 06:25 2
    - It's probably the thing I think Pixar's failed at most in their movies in the last decade. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:27 1
      - We will have to agree to disagree. :) -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 06:27
I can't keep from hitting szooze. Someone push me out of bed. -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 17, 06:18
so, I just got word that two things happened last night. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:18 8
- everybody okay at the in-laws? -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 06:22 3
  - as far as a I know, yes, except for the dog, which ran back into the house and never came back out. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:25 2
    - i would be. :( -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 06:39
    - :( -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 06:25
- wow -- nm - Epiphany Feb 17, 06:22
- Coincidence? :) -- nm - Subversive - in Trish's head Feb 17, 06:20 2
  - no idea. but I need to give some thought to what I should counter the offer at. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:22 1
    - no wait, that is wrong, they asked for 7k less, plus I give them 2k for their closing costs. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:24
ST Poll: Have you seen at least 10 documentaries? - ty97 Feb 17, 06:17 21
- maybe, probably -- nm - CQ Feb 17, 06:59
- I've seen at least 10 in the theater. - Max Feb 17, 06:58
- definitely. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 06:38
- definitely -- nm - Marcel Feb 17, 06:37
- at least 50. probably more like 100. (I watch them on tv a lot, especially war documentaries). -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 06:35
- Oh yeah. -- nm - kelly Feb 17, 06:33
- Yes. Even if I don't count Michael Moore movies -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 06:31
- All-time? Probably. - nubby, worse than oblique Feb 17, 06:30
- Of course. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 17, 06:27
- Close to 100, probably. nm - Dignan Feb 17, 06:24 1
  - (It might be my favorite genre.) nm - Dignan Feb 17, 06:24
- In my life? Of course. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 06:21
- feature-length, no. - znufrii Feb 17, 06:20
- I watched Mr. Chocolate 10 times -- nm - Redmond on my phone Feb 17, 06:20
- In my life? Yeah, I think so. It'd take me a few minutes to name them though. -- nm - Subversive - in Trish's head Feb 17, 06:19
- Yeah. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:19
- i've made more than that. -- nm - Andie Feb 17, 06:19
- sure. -- nm - Callisto Feb 17, 06:18
- [deleted]
- ever? then yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 17, 06:18
- This year? Not yet. Ever? Most definitely. -- nm - secretslacker Feb 17, 06:18
