        We are not, but I wouldn't put it past them to try calling us that by the time the whole law gets underway. (Sadly delayed a year, I believe.) -- nm - Qale Jul 27, 17:58 1
        
        its more about drivers liability, if their your employees its your liability -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 27, 18:28

Decide my movie: Fruitvale Station or The Way Way Back -- nm - Dano Jul 27, 16:06 15
- Ooh, that's a tough one. Both should be seen. WWB is more enjoyable, Fruitvale is more important. -- nm - Ender Jul 27, 18:18
- I'd like to see Way Way Back. And thanks to The Daily Show, The Spectacular Now as well. -- nm - Qale Jul 27, 17:27 4

      - it`s triffic -- nm - mud Jul 27, 18:28
- I enjoyed The Way Way Back. It's predictable but cute and the performances are fun -- nm - Guigue Jul 27, 17:09

I gotta wonder with this story and the whole Arod thing if Cashman's days are numbered in NY -- nm - eag Jul 27, 14:45 7
- why would they be? I have no doubt that cashman is talking to bud almost daily on this. -- nm - SpawnDroid Jul 27, 16:17
- The ARod stuff isn't on Cashman; he's the one who wanted to let the fraud walk in 2007 after his stunt. - Will Hunting Jul 27, 14:46 4
  - Not blaming him for it more just that he might want other options at the end of the year -- nm - eag Jul 27, 14:51 3

guys, do I like star trek 11? -- nm - Maximiliano Scourge Jul 27, 14:28 15
- yes except for the extensive use of lens flare - its a solid action flick with decent acting -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 16:05 7

    - anything that pulls me out of the experience is " over done" - he could have done a lot with very little -- nm - Epiphany Jul 27, 18:20
    - The problem is that he does it at the expense of storytelling. -- nm - Qale Jul 27, 17:28 1
      - I don't think that's even possible. -- nm - zork Jul 27, 18:17
    - Then he does it at night in Super 8, -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 27, 17:14 2
      - well, sure. dark background and a light source will cause it. I just think it's a dumb thing to worry about - zork Jul 27, 18:19 1

- Which one is that? -- nm - amoxy Jul 27, 14:30 5
