Can't remember if this was posted here. Game of Thrones houses as corporations. Pretty creative. -- (link) - volnelk May 28, 09:28

- Most would say it's better; but the original is no slouch at all. -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 09:30
- Terminator 2 might be the best action movie ever, let alone best sequel ever. -- nm - Shaun May 28, 09:28 8
  - [deleted] 1
    - yeah that's a weak part no doubt. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 09:31
  - I guess it depends how rigidly you define "action movie", but I think it's Die Hard. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 09:29 5
    - You couldn't go wrong with T2, Die Hard, Pirates 1, Indy 1 or 3.... - Will Hunting May 28, 09:30 4
      - Pirates doesn't belong in that convo. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 09:31 1
        
        Pirates 1 is almost as perfect as action/adventure movies get imo - Will Hunting May 28, 09:33
      - I'd classify Indy as an 'adventure' movie before an 'action' movie. Also, grossly overrated :) -- nm - Shaun May 28, 09:31 1
        
        The line between action/adventure is really narrow imo, but the line between Indy 1 & overrated is miles wide. Cray-zee talk!!!!! -- nm - Will Hunting May 28, 09:32
- Generally speaking, yes. -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 09:28
Caught a bit of Layer Cake the other day - everyone in it seemed well know (Ben Wishaw, Sally Hawkins, Burn Gorman), the casting agent did a good job. -- nm - LMS May 28, 09:25 2
- Plus that guy in the lead. Whatshisname. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 28, 09:28 1
  - Whatever happened to him? -- nm - LMS May 28, 09:32
Still can't believe I managed to get tickets to the free Muse gig this Sunday. -- nm - LMS May 28, 09:23 3

- FF6- A, Safe House- B-, Red Dawn (remake)- C, The Change Up- C---- -- nm - Stephen May 28, 09:21
- 50 First Dates: Still an A. I wonder if Rob Schneider as a Hawaiian is offensive. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 28, 09:20 1
  - isn't Rob Schneider always offensive? - zork May 28, 09:22
- Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters: F. We couldn't even finish it. Just completely awful, but not in the GI Joe way. -- nm - Shaun May 28, 09:20

- The Great Gatsby. It wasn't. -- nm - jnine May 28, 09:17 1
  - heh. -- nm - Diva May 28, 09:18
- Hangover 3: C+. It was actually a decent story to wrap it up, but not a lot of funny. - JaxSean May 28, 09:17 2
  - Yep. Although I don't see why it needed wrapping up. It's not like it was an epic tale or anything. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) May 28, 09:19 1
    - It didn't. It was just a sequel wrapped in an excuse to close the "trilogy." -- nm - JaxSean May 28, 09:25
- nothing for me. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 09:16
- Behind the Candelabra (B). -- nm - Don Homer May 28, 09:16
- I idly watched Sliding Doors while visiting family. Man that movie is so very 1990s. (I've never liked it) -- nm - Max May 28, 09:16 5
  - I saw the first 10 minutes of that movies once and then never saw the rest. I can't recall why that happened. - ty97 May 28, 09:17 3
    - I wonder what's happening in the world where ty finished watching it. -- nm - Reagen May 28, 09:19 2

  - as to your IM question...Not sure. If they don't explain...I'll google. -- nm - Mel Profit May 28, 09:18 2
    - i'm worried that with all the crap that was put on them that she might have killed herself. -- nm - zork May 28, 09:20 1
      - agreed. The fact that they haven't said anything yet (I'm an hour in) is compelling. -- nm - Mel Profit May 28, 09:23

  - The movie is all sorts of fascinating. -- nm - Mel Profit May 28, 09:18

    - I hadn't been pre-Katrina, but that is too bad. there definitely seemed to be a lack of artists. - loosilu May 28, 08:50 5
      - Yeah...there's a shit ton of touristy stuff and it didn't used to be like that. For artists, the best place to go now is Jackson Square - Jim May 28, 08:52 4
        
        I saw! I did my own sketches there too. huh, I just checked and I never put them online. - loosilu May 28, 08:55 3

Yay for Andie's friend. Last Sony product was a pair of headphones. -- nm - zork May 28, 08:22 1

  - clearly, it is that crappy pizza. nm -- nm - groiny May 28, 08:30 3

    - Heh. :-) - Krusty May 28, 08:30 1
      - yes, it's great, and it's why the pizza and bagels are so good. -- nm - loosilu May 28, 08:45
- I know a dude who's smoked 2 packs a day for the last 67 years. And people keep saying smoking is bad for you. -- nm - Jim May 28, 08:23 1
