What? So to join the ST bracket pool I have to provide Yahoo with my phone number for "verification" purposes? -- nm - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Mar 18, 19:13 11
- Yep. I tried signing up, for the Billion dollar bracket thing…Gave my phone #, then my email, but it never sent me a confirmation for the email - Flavorize Mar 18, 20:08
- I guess someone should build a replacement system -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 19:20 1
  - How hard could it be? ;-) -- nm - mara Mar 18, 19:35
- it won't let you change to a non-north american number, so I can't even sign up. -- nm - mafic Mar 18, 19:19
- Not that it is un-terrible for this reason, but you can immediately turn off the text spam. -- nm - Reagen Mar 18, 19:15 5
  - Wait, there's text spam too? WTF Yahoo! -- nm - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Mar 18, 19:26
  - Is this a case of 'if you don't have texting capability you can't join?' -- nm - Meg Mar 18, 19:20 3
    - yep. -- nm - mafic Mar 18, 19:27 2
      - The more this happens, the more stubborn I become about not having a smart phone. -- nm - Meg Mar 18, 19:32 1
        
        me too -- nm - mud Mar 18, 19:34
- That is the whole reason there is an ESPN one now. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 18, 19:14

Jaw-dropping proselytizing in a public school in Louisiana. (You may have heard about it before; it's just recently been resolved.) -- (link) - mara Mar 18, 18:44
I liked Battleship. There I said it. - Bacon Mar 18, 18:41 17
- In a 10 point must system, I'd score it 10-Battleship, 7-Pacific Rim. -- nm - Max Mar 18, 19:02 8
  - Are you using boxing score? Because to get a 10-7 score, one guy would basically have to lose an eye. -- nm - David Mar 18, 19:05 7
    - 10 Robocop original, 9 Battleship, 8.5 Transformers, 8 Real Steel, 7.5 Pacific Rim, 5.5 Matthew Broderick's Godzilla. -- nm - Max Mar 18, 19:16 4
      - You're every bit as competent as the average Nevada boxing judge. -- nm - David Mar 18, 19:20
      - Battleship over Transformers? You crazy. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 19:18 2
        
        plus, how am I supposed to be invested in one presto-changeo action figure over another? - Max Mar 18, 19:23
        
        Transformers is like listening to a whole lot of noise through a kaleidescape tube. Battleship is about *battleships* firing *huge ass cannons* -- nm - Max Mar 18, 19:20
    - That's because boxing scoring is unnecessarily narrow, but also I think Battleship is that much more exciting than Pacific Rim. -- nm - Max Mar 18, 19:12 1
      - You're silly. -- nm - David Mar 18, 19:15
- I love it when they fire up the old battleship -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 18:47 3
  - Spoilers - Bacon Mar 18, 18:50 2
    - oh it's a terrible. movie...but it's fun for a bit -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 19:19

- Well, you did like Avatar. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 18, 18:41 3
  - The top grossing movie of all time? Don't think I was the only one that liked it. Avahater -- nm - Bacon Mar 18, 18:42
  - And he seemed so... normal... when I met him. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 18, 18:42 1
    - It is okay, he is a good bloke. -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 18, 18:46

    - Ha! - kelly Mar 18, 17:24 2
      - But what's his opinion on Adele Dazeem? -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 18, 17:28 1

hello. resume work (bery! we need a resume board!). please ignore if you want. - peggy ann mcamanda Mar 18, 17:04 3
- Or you could just say - I kick ass at all things. Because ... you do - if you choose to of course. -- nm - JenBro Mar 18, 19:14
- if you're looking for words, add "cost-cutting". Recently I get the sense from our clients that budget holders have to deal with multi-year planning. -- nm - Max Mar 18, 17:12 1
  - oh good idea. we just started three-year planning. thanks. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Mar 18, 17:34

- Chechen Islamist militant responcible for several attacks -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 19:48
- The thing about most wanted militants dying... there's always another one to take his place. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 18, 17:07 1
  - I think thats the motto for Russian's in general though. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 17:44
- give it time. karma is a bitch. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 17:00
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is gonna make House Party look like House Party 2 - prayformojo Mar 18, 16:53 7
- Were you also confused by the name, "The Cold War"? -- nm - Spawn Lord Mar 18, 18:25 2
  - Honestly, I figured from the title Captain America becomes the "winter solider" at some point. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 18, 18:49 1
    - His adversaries secret moves are springing forward and falling back. -- nm - Bacon Mar 18, 18:52
- I just assumed the movie takes place entirely in December and January. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 18, 17:26 1
  - The Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday scene will really make you think. -- nm - David Mar 18, 18:43
- It's not a vague descriptor like "The Phantom Menace". There's actually a guy referred to as "The Winter Soldier". Mr. Soldier, your table is ready. - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 18, 17:12
- The trailers make it clear that (spoils) - Beryllium Mar 18, 16:58

  - That was the first one. I nailed that one instantly. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 18, 17:06 3
    - Ah, sorry -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 17:17
    - Oh, these are seperate movies? How many? -- nm - mara Mar 18, 17:06 1

  - And the "sniper cadets." -- nm - mara Mar 18, 16:58
- The Hurt Locker had a pretty long scene with a guy on a Barrett sniper rifle. -- nm - landbeck Mar 18, 16:55
- An extended stay in a location like that makes me lean more toward an hour episode instead of a movie. - Max Mar 18, 16:48 1
  - Yup, I'm leaning that way. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 18, 16:53
- I have no idea what this discussion is but it sounds like aspects ofThe Kingdom and Three Kings. -- nm - David Mar 18, 16:44 5
  - it does. it really does. -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 16:48 4
    - I haven't seen the Kingdom. There's a sniper scene? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Mar 18, 16:53 3

watch it before it's gone: 1st 11 minutes of Captian America -- (link) - Remlik Mar 18, 16:10 23
- I heard the first 11 minutes are better than the entire Bourne trilogy. -- nm - David Mar 18, 16:20 22
  - I heard that the AFI is planning to put the first 11 minutes in their Top 100 Films. -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 18, 16:22 21
    - This is very funny. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 18, 16:35
    - you both laugh. - Remlik Mar 18, 16:28 16

        so clearly you want to bet. I bet you a $10 donation to your charity of choice. -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 16:33 14
        
        You want to bet whether it will be better than The Avengers? - David Mar 18, 16:36 11
        
        sure I don't think we've done that kind. Bet on the rating for the 1st week. Friday to Friday rating? -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 16:37 10
        
        What do you mean by Friday to Friday rating? The Cinemascore or the RT score? -- nm - David Mar 18, 16:38 9
        
        which would you prefer? -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 16:38 8
        
        RT is fine. At best, it can only match Avengers' A+ Cinemascore. -- nm - David Mar 18, 16:43 7
        
        cool. -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 16:46 6

        Don't ever change, Pete. -- nm - David Mar 18, 16:53 2
        
        hey I need your address -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 16:55 1
        
        Email me. -- nm - David Mar 18, 16:56
        
        How exactly do you bet on whether a movie is better than Casablanca? -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 18, 16:34 1
        
        oh that's a given of course. -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 16:35

  - I probably see more filming than he does -- nm - zork Mar 18, 16:29 1
    - I do see a lot though. There's a movie studio a few blocks from me but the big thing is my area looks like old NY, Manhattan on some blocks, - Krusty Mar 18, 16:33
  - About once a week on average but I live in a neighborhood that is used often, plus there's - Krusty Mar 18, 16:16

    - and the inspiration for 8 more. -- nm - David Mar 18, 16:21
    - Haha! I am in the background of the movie "Angie". I walk across the street behind her as she's walking down 86th St. in my old hood. -- nm - Krusty Mar 18, 16:21
- yes! put on your tracksuit! you'll be period correct! -- nm - Remlik Mar 18, 15:25 2
  - He should run through holding a big black ball with the word "Bomb" painted on it. -- nm - Was Bar Was Mar 18, 15:28 1
    - Nice one. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 18, 16:05
Question about Blurays and enclosed Vudu codes: - kelly Mar 18, 15:16 2
- Check eBay for particular titles. We've done vudu pre-orders and sold the unopened box for more than we paid for the pre-order. - spamlet (droid) Mar 18, 15:18 1
  - I should have said that eBay had a bunch of people doing what you are contemplating. I'd check prices of those to see how they do. -- nm - spamlet Mar 18, 15:19
