Didn't expect this: Wolf of Wall Street will be campaigning in the Comedy/Musical category for Globes. It's also 2:45 long. -- nm - MDH Oct 30, 08:38 14
- In the trailer, it was clear that all the male actors had been seen by . . . - OAE -- Antarctica, Old Explorer Oct 30, 09:04
- As I get older I have less and less tolerance for long movies. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 08:50 10
  - If the movie is good, while I'm watching it I have no issues with the time, but I have a hard time committing to spend that amount of time at the - pmb Oct 30, 09:02
  - I think too many movies the past few years have been long without a need to be. - ty97 Oct 30, 08:56
  - I'm fine with it if I can watch them at home. But having to sit in a theater (I usually find the seating terribly uncomfortable) is a non-starter. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 30, 08:54
  - [deleted] 6
    - over 2 hours and I won't see it in the theater - decline Oct 30, 09:00
    - Over 2 hours, I agree. -- nm - ♠hellSpawn♠ Oct 30, 08:56
    - For me it can depend on the type of movie. Drama, I am okay with longer, but a generic action or comedy should not be more than 2 hours. -- nm - MDH Oct 30, 08:54 3

- Goopie -- nm - ♠hellSpawn♠ Oct 30, 08:36
- I think the second wife is Gwyneth Paltrow. -- nm - Diva Oct 30, 08:35
- Is the second one Gwynnie? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 30, 08:35 6
  - oooh, so who is the guyÉ -- nm - Andie Oct 30, 08:42 5
    - If it's about an award it's either regarding her Glee stuff or her music. The guy is a 'player on a smaller screen' so I don't think he's involved - Diva Oct 30, 08:46 4
      - If smaller screen means TV, Jane Lynch was divorced recently. Bow-chick-a-wow-wow -- nm - Roger More Oct 30, 08:49
      - maybe but it does end with ``PS. Everyone mentioned here is a major celebrity.`` -- nm - Andie Oct 30, 08:48 1

  - I never loaded a second of it because I knew that's exactly what it would become. -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 08:40
It's a busy day in town with Prez O at Faneuil Hall and the WS game tonight. We're sort of being told to leave the office early if we can. - Diva Oct 30, 08:26 1

So Tuesday is (odd numbered year) election day: VA Governor, NJ Governor, and a number of mayors including Boston, Houston, and NYC. -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 08:21 14

    - Nope -- nm - prayformojo Oct 30, 08:29
    - it's all relative. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 30, 08:27
- Christie is a shoe-in for NJ -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:22 2
  - Of the races I listed, only Boston Mayor is really competitive right now. -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 08:25
  - His promise to go out and sit on the beach the next time a superstorm hits did wonders for his campaign - con_carne Oct 30, 08:24
- and our local elections as well -- nm - znufrii Oct 30, 08:22 1
  - yeah, lots of local stuff here. -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:22

driver ticketed for wearing Google Glass -- (link) - znufrii Oct 30, 08:03 4
- "We’re not lawyers, but citing someone for wearing the device while it’s not turned on seems like giving someone a ticket for driving with ..." - ♠hellSpawn♠ Oct 30, 08:17 2
  - Maybe she was testing them out to see if she can wear them all the time. - Inigo Oct 30, 08:20 1
    - Well, clearly she got her answer. - ♠hellSpawn♠ Oct 30, 08:21

Yeah, so, Transformer is a really good album - con_carne Oct 30, 07:58 6

inigo: marketing. distribution. are there royalties? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 07:52 2
- I'm sure there, but I can't imagine they total over a billion dollars. - Inigo Oct 30, 07:58 1
  - It's just an analyst's estimate - he gives 20-30% margins for profit -- nm - decline Oct 30, 08:00
decline, I feel the same way about dicaprio. I get that he's a good actor. I just don't want to watch him do it. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 07:51 23

  - I actually think he is getting worse with age. - groiny Oct 30, 08:41 2
    - I think I agree with this. because as we say above, boy's life and grape were great. I think now he's phoning it in based on that rep. maybe? - peggy ann mcamanda Oct 30, 09:05 1
      - or, he is actively taking parts to try to show his "range" and it is not working, at all. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 30, 09:14
