  - Sadly, I won't get to become the cashier they hired me as until Mid January due to training center issues. But I'm fine. I'll be tired going from zero - Qale Dec 20, 16:22 1
    - Yeah, it'll take a couple of weeks to get used to it. -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 16:37

- Target -- nm - Bacon Dec 20, 15:55 4
  - And make sure you use a credit card! -- nm - Qale Dec 20, 16:15

Well, I am going to a Jesus, Mary and Joseph reenactment at Olvera Street, the oldest village in LA-cum-kitschy Mexican-American-themed tourist trap - con_carne Dec 20, 15:44
Canada, throwin' down. -- (link) - Reagen Dec 20, 15:35 2
- Sorry. - David Dec 20, 15:35 1
  - I think I can imagine it. - Reagen Dec 20, 15:37
Oh my, that was a lot of Amy Adams sideboob... -- nm - Ender Dec 20, 15:26 2
- I notice that you said a lot, but not too much. Niiice -- nm - Bacon Dec 20, 15:37
- But the accent? I'm imagining the Man With Two Brains prostitute. -- nm - Max Dec 20, 15:28
Cuba opens up sale of new, used vehicles for the first time since the 1959 revolution -- (link) - con_carne Dec 20, 15:17
The 25 Most Visually Stunning Movies In Cinema History -- (link) - con_carne Dec 20, 15:13 37
- I wonder if there was an argument whether to include Apocalypse Now rather than Thin Red Line -- nm - zork Dec 20, 16:38
- Period pieces tend to be the films that stand out visually to me. Gangs of New York would be one that gets my vote. -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 16:03 8
  - Titanic -- nm - zork Dec 20, 16:49
  - *grabs cudgel and stands next to Krusty* They'll come for us. But - we can take them. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 20, 16:05 1
    - Hell yeah! -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 16:05
  - The only thing keeping that from being the perfect movie was the casting of Cameron Diaz -- nm - Bacon Dec 20, 16:04 4
    - She's awful in just about everything. -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 16:05 3
      - There are only a few movies she hasn't ruined for me. The Holiday is one. For some reason she works in that. She's fine in My Best Friends Wedding -- nm - Bacon Dec 20, 16:06 2
        
        Two films I haven't seen. She was bound to get something right. -- nm - Krusty Dec 20, 16:12 1
        
        The Holiday is great for a chick flick. Jack Black also turns me off and he was great in it. -- nm - Bacon Dec 20, 16:14
- Brokeback Mountain as well? - Mel Profit Dec 20, 15:55
- what dreams may come, maybe? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 20, 15:52
- Tenenbaums. nm - Dignan Dec 20, 15:41
- Xanadu! -- nm - Max Dec 20, 15:33
- Also - but this is maybe just my predilection to liking the places it was filmed ... both Legends of the Fall & A River Runs Through it -- nm - JenBro Dec 20, 15:31
- I would have picked Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (but then - I didn't see Hero - maybe it's similar?) -- nm - JenBro Dec 20, 15:30 4
  - actually Bloodsport had moments of very good cinematography -- nm - zork Dec 20, 16:48
  - CTHD is sort of "conventionally beautiful" if you take my meaning. Hero has distinct colour palates throughout - Reagen Dec 20, 15:46 2
    - The last shot of Hero was pretty well done. - Mel Profit Dec 20, 15:48 1
      - so I'm guessing I should see this movie -- nm - JenBro Dec 20, 15:55
- Well, there have been hundreds of thousands of movies and only 25 are picked so we have better odds. -- nm - David Dec 20, 15:29
- I'd suggest Road to Perdition. Baraka is also a good call -- nm - prayformojo Dec 20, 15:26 3
  - Never heard of Baraka before... something tells me the first several Google image results -- (link) - con_carne Dec 20, 15:29 2
    - You want these results -- (link) - Max Dec 20, 15:32
    - SFEK have nothing to do with it :) -- nm - con_carne Dec 20, 15:30
- When I saw Star Wars the visuals just blew me away. I had seen nothing like that before. Empire of the Sun is also very stunning. -- nm - Bacon Dec 20, 15:24 4
  - The first 15secs alone maybe puts it on the list. - Mel Profit Dec 20, 15:25 3
    - Doesn't get any better than this. -- (link) - Bacon Dec 20, 15:39 [youtube]
    - That first scene was mind blowing epic. The base in the theater was rumbling the walls. -- nm - Bacon Dec 20, 15:37 1
      - I remember that sound too. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 20, 15:41
- Here's the Oscar Best Cinematography list -- (link) - Max Dec 20, 15:24
- Baraka, a few options from Theirry Arbogast, and I'm sure people would add Children of Men. -- nm - Max Dec 20, 15:22
- my dark horse nominee is "The Cell"... - Mel Profit Dec 20, 15:19 4
  - Beautiful, but a whole bunch of nonsense, as I recall. -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 15:23 2
    - I thought the story was simple but engaging - aided by the performances as well. - Mel Profit Dec 20, 15:24
    - [deleted]
  - I saw it in the theater and definitely remember the visuals -- nm - con_carne Dec 20, 15:21
Why does today feel weird? Oh right, Congress isn't doing anything insane in the next 10 days this year. -- nm - Max Dec 20, 15:03 2

Saudi Arabian journalist slams John Cena and WWE and tells them to stay home... - Remlik Dec 20, 14:55 3

  - AND HE F*&K YOU IN THE %SS FOR NOT BEING HUMBLE MEL PROFIT! -- nm - Remlik Dec 20, 16:33
- if the WWE didn't pay him to write that, they should have. -- nm - Max Dec 20, 15:00
should I bother setting up my tree? it's only a few days before xmas. I've been super busy. it seems wasteful to do so late, you know? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Dec 20, 14:53 9
- have you ever NOT had a tree up before? if it didn't bug you then - won't bug you now - but if you always have before - then yes - do it - you're on - JenBro Dec 20, 15:23
- Of course. It's your couch's first Christmas. -- nm - CovingtonCat Dec 20, 15:23
- seriously? I have to be the voice of reason around here? hell no, go out and drink! -- nm - dogbert Dec 20, 15:21
- yes, you should. -- nm - znufrii Dec 20, 15:03
- of course you should...you can leave it up for a week, heck some wait for 3 kings day before taking down -- nm - ruddy the red nosed zeitgeist Dec 20, 15:01
- pff, you're going to sleep in your bed 20 hours later but you still make it in the morning, right? -- nm - Max Dec 20, 14:59
- A Mundane Christmas -- nm - con_carne Dec 20, 14:57
- Definitely. While drinking eggnog. -- nm - Cuzzin Toddnog Dec 20, 14:56
- if it looks pretty & you have the space, sure. -- nm - Black Peter Dec 20, 14:54
FFB Playoff Weekend Question: Start QB Dalton or Stafford and Lions or Dolphins Def -- nm - Capstern Dec 20, 14:48 2
- Dalton & Dolphins -- nm - Black Peter Dec 20, 14:51 1
  - Way I am leaning. Thats the cheaper league for Championship me vs him inside - should be interesting - Capstern Dec 20, 14:57
NLYC : For those that actually have any interest settled on the gifts for the girls (the just from Dave ones) - Capstern Dec 20, 14:42 2

- just don't use your credit card!!! (this is actually a great move for them.) -- nm - target Dec 20, 14:35 1
  - I called Discover Crad to check on things and the first recording referenced Target and reminded of their 100% fraud protection set-up. -- nm - Spawn Dec 20, 14:38
- Target just caused sales to close 2 big deals for my business unit. Since this is what we prevent. Been fascinating to watch -- nm - Capstern Dec 20, 14:32
- This is tantamount to a tax free day for us. - David Dec 20, 14:24 3

      - "Void if prohibited by law." I wouldn't be surprised if alcohol were excluded from this discount - con_carne Dec 20, 14:44 1
        
        I *almost* hope so as I picked up a $40 bottle a couple nights ago. -- nm - Spawn Dec 20, 14:45
