SITWAP: Lava lamp moonrise. -- (link) - TaurusII Feb 23, 11:04
Good stuff about the imminent axing and canning coming at Yahoo. (link) - Mop Feb 23, 11:02 8
- *looks on the pantry shelf for a can of yahoo -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 11:12
- Read this as "axing and caning" and thought - now that's harsh. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 11:02 6
  - Could happen. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 11:08
  - Employees will be beaten until morale improves. -- nm - Management Feb 23, 11:03 3
    - And then fired. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 23, 11:04 2
      - out of a cannon. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 11:04 1
        
        Wheeee!!! -- nm - Hugh Jackman si Feb 23, 11:06
  - they must've moved their head office to Singapore when we weren't looking -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 11:03
Dear BOP: How is it possible that none of you ripped on the Mama Mia pair completely falling out of synch during the dance number? - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 10:58 6
- It's a trap. You just admitted to paying careful consideration to the musical number! -- nm - David Feb 23, 11:15
- Did Jackman actually stop singing at one point because he was distracted? That was a kind of deer/headlights moment for performers and viewers. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 11:03 1
  - sounded like he went up on his lines for a sec -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 11:04
- I was picking up the remnants of the glass I through at the tv when Beyonce showed up for her contractually guaranteed segment -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 11:02

Hey ML, here's some midwest law stuff that you may find interesting (link) - Mop Feb 23, 10:57
[deleted] 24
- I'd like to see both Nine and 9 nominated, just for the confusion factor. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 11:04 3
  - I think 9 is my most anticipated movie of the year for me fight now. (Followed by Transformers and HPott.) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:06
  - oh, dear -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 11:06 1
    - I'm honestly surprised that there hasn't been a deal worked out. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 11:08
- It's like ST and baseball. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 11:02
- Up. The Lovely Bones. Where the Wild Things Are. The Informant. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:02 14
  - WtWTA is taking on a Titanic proportions for me. You hear so much bad things from the production that it looks like a failure. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 11:06 1
    - Top 5 in movies I'm looking forward to this year, easily. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 11:08
  - After Wall-E's outcome, I think we can safely take any animated movies off the Best Picture lists for future prayers. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 11:06 8
    - [deleted] 4
      - Except that Finding Nemo (There's another one!) was almost as critically as I can recall Wall-E being in the general public. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 11:12 3

        98% Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes. Also nominated for a Writing Oscar. (Ditto Golden Globe picture nom.) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 11:26
        
        It was certainly better than The Reader. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:13
    - I don't think that's necessarily the case. - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:09 1
      - It also depends on how strong of a field there is otherwise. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 11:10
    - Wall-E....Monster's Inc....(Ratatoulie? Never saw it)...If these can't crack a nomination, I don't know what more they can do. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 23, 11:08
  - I don't see how Up is going to sustain itself. It looks like material for a short. -- nm - Max Feb 23, 11:05 1
    - yeah, but they always seem to find a way. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 11:10
  - Julie and Julia -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 11:04

Remember the Cheap Trick/Pumpkins/Fountains/Hanson supergroup? Wondering what that sounds like? here you go. -- (link) - loosilu Feb 23, 10:49 3
- Well, that was entirely unexpected. I didn't realize they still made music I liked this much any more. -- nm - Mop Feb 23, 11:14
- I can kind of hear each part of that grouping. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 10:53 1
  - me too. I like it a lot, actually. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 10:54

- I didn't see Heath in it... -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 10:53 4
  - ;cause he wasn't. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:53
  - last year. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 10:53 2
    - Oh, of course -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 10:55
    - But not this year! -- nm - Dork Knights Feb 23, 10:53
- My problem with it was that they didn't just have a feed of it for tv...they pointed cameras at the screen and hoped we could read it - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 10:52 1
  - yeah, didn't like that at all. - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:52
- That wasn't new; however the lame ass panning the camera around needs to go. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 10:51
- they've done that in prior years, too, iirc, but yes, it's a very nice touch. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:50
- I liked that. And for whoever missed the first person in the montage, it was Cyd Charisse -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 10:50
And, for a different viewpoint, EW's Best/Worst Dressed. -- (link) - TaurusII Feb 23, 10:44 5
- every love Freido Pinto's, but i honestly think it just looks tangled and like it's strangling her (Biel looked great too. ) -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 11:12 1
  - *everyone loved* - i swear that's what i typed. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 11:13

- i'm mostly bored by the best dressed. i miss cate. -- nm - kare Feb 23, 10:47
Speaking of the guys, Brad Pitt was absolute perfection in his tux. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 10:44 7
- classic, conservative, nothing special. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:48 5
  - perfect. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 10:50 1
    - honestly, I wish men were as adventurous with their fashion at the Oscars as the women are. - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:52
  - I preferred Jackman's white tie and tails. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:49 2
    - You were checking out Jackman's tail? Perv! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 23, 10:58 1
      - of all the tails to be checking out, I sure could've done worse. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 11:05

TiVo / HD question: we finally got an hdtv, and were going to upgrade our cable to HD. - JaxSean Feb 23, 10:39 3
- the bad news: SD shows look *worse* on an HDTV. The good news: watching proper HD is orgasmic. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 10:44 2
  - Yes, it looks bad on the hdtv - hence the reason we're going to hd cable. But since the TiVo records it, will it "unconvert" it? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 10:52 1
    - it may not even be able to read the signal. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 11:00
Alive in HD seems like such a creepy concept. -- nm - David Feb 23, 10:37
[deleted] 4
- Good, few million dollars lost for an idiot. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 10:37 3
  - That's a huge drop in signing bonus. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 23, 10:38 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I'd say around $15M as a lowball guess. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 23, 10:48
LIR: mandy: Yahoo's Best/Worst Dressed. -- (link) - TaurusII Feb 23, 10:30 26
- how did i not know Leslie Mann was married to Judd Apatow? -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 10:52 1
  - it's the only reason she's gotten work in the last five years. :) -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 10:53
- i disagree with a lot of those grades. jolie's dress was fine, whatever, but not an A+. -- nm - kare Feb 23, 10:40 2
  - Also, lots of these outfits looked very different on TV. I liked Marion Cotillard's look last night, but am not loving the photo of it. -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 10:44 1
    - Anne Hathaway is another one. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 10:44
- I applaud any grad student who is so deep into their work they actually need help finding stuff like this) -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 10:34

        crap. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 11:01
        
        When did that policy start??? -- nm - TaurusII Feb 23, 10:48
  - [deleted]
  - Did someone kick your ass? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 10:34 3
    - I just can't get passed the dippy face pose. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 10:34 2
      - I think his chin is made of steel. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 10:36 1
        
        that might be it. We should dispatch nubby to find out if his chin is made of Einsteinium. - Mel Profit Feb 23, 10:40
- kate winslet's hair was scary. -- nm - my friend Feb 23, 10:32
- No love for Rourke there. - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:31 5
  - Rourke was a mess. I'm almost glad he lost in the end. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 10:52 2
    - I though he was rockin' it. - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:57 1
      - As weird as it was, I loved it. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 11:02
  - and Marisa Tomei's dress was a hot mess, not an A- -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:33 1
    - yeah, the entire list is suspect. -- nm - znufrii, unpatriotic Feb 23, 10:40
tangentially related to b2: I have an aunt and great-aunt who are pretty close in age. apparently the great-aunt once stole the aunt's boyfriend. -- nm - mafic Feb 23, 10:30
Someone brought in dates as a snack for the office, but I keep running Sallah's statement through my head. - Max Feb 23, 10:29 2

  - I think I'd take Sophia over Pam Anderson any day - Epiphany Feb 23, 10:42 1
    - Ain't that cuz Tommy pushed her into it? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 11:07
  - [deleted] 2
    - It's all her fault - she should have won for a more prominent movie! -- nm - Roger More Feb 23, 10:43 1
      - and more recently than 49 years ago! -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 10:46
- Undead sexy stars? -- nm - TaurusII Feb 23, 10:30
- i think it's terrific she made it. she was just so overbronzed it was disturbing. -- nm - kare Feb 23, 10:30 6
  - IIRC, she's always sported a deeply tanned look. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 23, 10:38 3
    - i've never seen her this dark. she was several shades darker than beyonce. -- nm - my friend Feb 23, 10:39 2
      - (they showed one and then the other on screen, see, so it was an easy comparison) -- nm - kare Feb 23, 10:44
      - (but she looked waaay darker outside in natural light than on stage) -- nm - kare Feb 23, 10:39
  - overbronzed, tons of makeup, and multiple facelifts. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 10:34
  - I think two photos of the people in the Memoriam segment showed her eating their brains. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 10:32
- I like the zombie theory. -- nm - mara Feb 23, 10:29
- Nightmare inducing. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 23, 10:29
*WHISTLES* -- nm - Kate Winslet's daddy Feb 23, 10:28 4
