- *RRAARR!!* HULC LIFT! -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 12:20
- nice, but it still feels like 200 extra pounds, not counting the exo's weight -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 12:19 1

ST Poll: I just bought a pair of IMAX tickets to a 7 PM showing of Watchmen next weekend. How much did I pay? How much would you pay? -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:14 13
- i think it would cost about $34 for a pair of Imax tix here - so i'll say $28 there. -- nm - Andie Feb 26, 12:18 2

- $25 total....and for me.....$0. They've not sold me in the slightest. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:14 3
  - Not for Watchmen in particular, for a pair of IMAX tix. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:15 2
    - [deleted]
    - Oh, $25 for the pair is what you paid and I'd pay $12.50 each for IMAX. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:17
- Sixteen dolla, sixteen dolla -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:14 1

  - Oh, good answer. I forgot about that one. -- nm - mrfuzzy Feb 26, 12:20
  - OK, I was having trouble thinking of a movie. This is my answer as well -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:17
- Oh, and more recently: Ratatouille -- nm - Trish Feb 26, 12:13
- Primal Fear. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:09 2
  - That's a good one also. -- nm - Jim Feb 26, 12:13 1
    - The first half, i really liked, lost it's way with the pseudo-twist and was completely redeemed by Norton in the end. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:15
- The last 1/4 of Million Dollar Baby. - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:08 2
  - Yeah, same here. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 12:09
  - Truth. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 12:09
- Definitely The Sixth Sense. I didn't even know there was a twist -- nm - Guigue Feb 26, 12:08 7
  - Yeah, some people have said it was obvious, but I never noticed these things. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:10 6
    - I meant it was an obvious ansswer to this poll. That movie has come to define surprise endings -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:12 1
      - Wasn't referencing your post. I've had people tell me the twist was obvious. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 12:12
    - Well, when the word hit that there was a twist...(spoils, I guess) - Jim Feb 26, 12:11 3
      - Ed the Normal got Catch-22'ed by The Others. He had no interest, told me to spoil him, I did, and then he had to go see it. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:13 2
        
        Yeah, that one surprised me too. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 12:16
        
        I really love that movie. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:15
- The Others -- nm - 1995 Feb 26, 12:07

    - or that Horatio Hornblower was in it :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 12:17
- *preemptive Sixth Sense* Too obvious -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:06 7
  - I figured out 6'th Sense's ending 5 minutes in....spoiler - peglegpete Feb 26, 12:08 6
    - I felt like a maron for not seeing it. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:09 5
      - I generally don't try to guess ahead, I just enjoy the ride. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 12:11 4
        
        If I know there's a twist it's hard for me not to try. That's why things like Million Dollar Baby shock me. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:12 3
        
        The thing with Million Dollar Baby for me was - kelly Feb 26, 12:15
        
        True. I was lucky, I guess, to see Sixth Sense before I knew there was a twist. - ty97 Feb 26, 12:14 1
        
        I think this may be a handicap for him now. Everyone always expects a twist from him. Not that this excuses "The Crappening", but still. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:20
- The Mist. -- nm - Jim Feb 26, 12:06 14
  - I loved the ending. For weeks it was fun to hang outside the theater showing Mist to watch the stunned looks as the people slowly walked out. -- nm - ceregon Feb 26, 12:23
  - I keep meaning to see this. Is it the Stephen King version or the movie version? (Aren't there two?) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 12:09 8
    - One of my top films from 2007. It was very good, IMO. (Stephen King's The Mist, dir. Frank Darabont) -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:11
    - I don't recall the Stephen King version ending this way, but I did read it a long time (over 10 years) before I saw the film. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:10 5
      - King's version ended (spoils for book and movie, sorta) - Jim Feb 26, 12:13 4
        
        yes - I remember this now. (book/movie spoiler) - Diva Feb 26, 12:17 2
        
        I loved that the movie went with that ending. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:19 1
        
        me too. It separated itself from the pack with that ending. (imo) - Diva Feb 26, 12:22
        
        in a way the movie ending was much more King like to me. (spoilers) - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:14
    - The Mist is a King short story...and the movie ending is different than the story. nm - Jim Feb 26, 12:10
  - Oh yeah. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:08
  - oof. -- nm - prayformojo Feb 26, 12:08
  - Absolutely. One of the ballsiest endings in awhile. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 12:08
  - agreed. -- nm - decline Feb 26, 12:06
It's not a good day to be flying to the Midwest -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 12:02 5
- About 45 minutes ago, we had a really nasty hail storm with high winds* and a huge amount of marble sized hail. Our yard and the street was white. - 1995 Feb 26, 12:07 2
  - yikes - ty97 Feb 26, 12:08 1
    - Our snow still hasn't all melted. Yards with a northern exposure are still white, and parking lots still have huge 6-7 feet high piles in the corners - Trish Feb 26, 12:12
- Why? It's in the 60s here...it's beautiful!! -- nm - Jim Feb 26, 12:04 1
  - hmmm, how about 'Upper Midwest'? - ty97 Feb 26, 12:06

- Toyota and Honda are assembled here, as are GM and most of Ford so I'll say most of them - zeitgeist Feb 26, 12:05 1
  - *bzzzzt* Sorry, that is not the question we asked. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:11
- Out of how many? -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:01 1
  - 10 categories. One is overall, the rest are best in class. -- nm - TaurusII Feb 26, 12:04

- grr - nubby Feb 26, 12:00 12
  - crap, stupid less-than-sign - nubby Feb 26, 12:00 9
    - I like almost all of the movies she lists (assuming she is a girl) -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 12:03
    - but what does she think of Air Bud: Golden Receiver? -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 12:03 4
      - I am amazed that a) Air Bud sequels continue to be made; and b) they actually do somewhat well. - kelly Feb 26, 12:06 3
        
        I never knew there were so many - with two more in the pipeline, Santa Buddies and Air Bud: Aussie Rules! -- nm - Roger More Feb 26, 12:08 2

It was my first year watching Top Chef. The show made me a Tom Colicchio fan. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 11:52 17
- I like him, but I wish he wouldn't be a pitchman for Diet Pepsi -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 11:55
- The reason he got those Coke spots is that his TV-Q is historically unprecedented for a reality show judge. - David Feb 26, 11:54 3
  - Who was your favorite guest chef judge? I'm torn between Eric Rippart (sp?) and surprisingly, Emeril LeGasse. - Trish Feb 26, 12:17 2
    - Ripert. I love how the Emerilware ad just berymandered up. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:18
    - I'm firmly in the Eric Ripert camp. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:18

    - I got 19, but I slipped on one of the answers with my mouse, but the other five got me good -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 12:07
  - wow, you are quick! -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 11:54 6
    - I'm going to take this in a moment, but I have to say I love the Padma photo you've chosen. -- nm - crash davis Feb 26, 11:59 5
      - Google-image her, Crash. You may be surprised. -- nm - David Feb 26, 12:07
      - she was very fetching in that outfit -- nm - prayformojo Feb 26, 12:00 3
        
        *laughing* Crash uses the word "fetching" in regard to Padma all the time. She is exactly his type. - 1995 Feb 26, 12:04 2
        
        so he liked her 14 years ago? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 26, 12:05 1
