  - The Spoils - Will Hunting Jul 12, 20:26 9

    - Prometheus spoilers -- (link) - David Jul 12, 20:28 6

        Spoilers - David Jul 12, 20:35 2
        
        I dont buy that at all -- nm - Truman Jul 12, 20:53

        ha. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 20:31 1

    - when did you realize it was not a typical Baz Luhrmann musical? :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 12, 20:35
    - The most agonizing part of it is when you realize it's setting up two more fucking movies. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 20:14 3
      - It may be setting them up, but are they actually planning on making them? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 20:35 1

  - No. And I think I figured it out. I forgot that I took 15 as my change bank. So it's really 122. It's still the most I've ever made, but the numbers - Qale Jul 12, 20:08
Pacific Rim - Holy Mechagasm. It's visually fairly impressive. CGI has come a long way. (no spoilers) - Mel Profit Jul 12, 19:58 9
- It's imperfect but oh so glorious. Did you see the 3D? It's superlative. -- nm - David Jul 12, 20:13 4

    - Spoilers - David Jul 12, 20:20 2
      - one thing I really liked - visuals aside was (spoilers) - Mel Profit Jul 12, 20:23 1

  - I feel like the Macross saga couldn't live up to what my 8 year old self has memories of. -- nm - Reagen Jul 12, 20:22 1
    - I think if you tried it 20 years ago we'd be disappointed. Now - I think we'd have our faces blown off. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 12, 20:25

        Is Texas socially conservative? - Mel Profit Jul 12, 20:25 3

        It was a choice between crazy stupid and corrupt stupid. It didn't matter what Democrat was nominated. -- nm - GregW Jul 12, 20:48 1
        
        I'm thinking we should let then secede. And the Puerto Rico can become a state and we don't have to change the flag. -- nm - The liioulu with spell chek Jul 12, 21:04
