Ender, if you're here... how is Watch Dogs? - Strongbad May 30, 10:26 3

- bwhahahaha -- nm - prayformojo May 30, 10:25
Wow, a 63 followed by a 78? Yikes. -- nm - Strongbad May 30, 10:21
Nubby, Crash, Spawn, Joseph. -- nm - David May 30, 10:08 11

  - Not a joke. -- nm - David May 30, 10:31 2
    - oh, that's right, my plan to get 8th place and have a successful season came up just a bit short - Will Hunting May 30, 10:34 1
      - What are you talking about Will? 5-8 teams *deserve* a chance at the postseason! -- nm - Strongbad May 30, 11:27
  - it's a draft for draft position. nm -- nm - groiny May 30, 10:28 3
    - watch them argue about it too... -- nm - Mel Profit May 30, 10:29
    - *hopes my ping pong balls show up* -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 10:29 1

I would guess too that exhibitors could have gotten two shows of mal in (7-1130pm) and only one of longer movies. that 7pm start is a big deal I think -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 30, 09:56 12
- I honestly don't think so. If you look at Roger More's chart, I see no real correlation between 7pm shows, and lower weekend totals comparatively. - Inigo May 30, 10:03 11
  - also, I can totally see your million ways prediction happening. there's just no buzz. -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 30, 10:36 4
    - Agreed. Now let's all laugh at Will. -- nm - Roger More May 30, 10:52 3
      - *drops trou* *notices the laughter stops* -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 10:53 2
        
        Now we just all feel bad for you. -- nm - Roger More May 30, 10:54 1
        
        Sympathy is better than mocking. -- nm - Will Hunting May 30, 10:59
  - also, this is a tween movie, I think. not a kids' movie. -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 30, 10:17 1
    - I think the 7pm start yesterday is an indicator that Disney feels the audience skews younger. - Inigo May 30, 10:21
  - I think she's saying it's a big deal in how the movie got to $4.2M in Thursday box office. -- nm - Roger More May 30, 10:06 2
    - right. because you don't even have to stay up late, you know? it's like a thursday opener -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 30, 10:09 1
      - IMO, if the audience is there, they'll make as many showtimes on as many screens as they have to. - Inigo May 30, 10:12
  - are exhibitors only allowed one show per thursday night? or could it run at 7 and at 915? see? -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 30, 10:06
How we all miss the point in school shootings - This is pretty insightful even if I don't agree with the final point entirely. -- (link) - Inigo May 30, 09:53 5
- This statement is very weird... - Roger More May 30, 10:04 3
  - Yeah, that, and what TWuG point out are things I disagree with. - Inigo May 30, 10:06 2
    - Especially when it comes to thinking about these sorts of mass shooters similarly to terrorists. But, two things I'll mention... - Roger More May 30, 10:19 1
      - To your IMs: Yes, that's why gun control is needed, and your question is the issue I had with his final point. - Inigo May 30, 10:24
- "According to the FBI, mass shootings (defined as shooting events that kill at least four people) occur on average every two weeks in the US."" -- nm - TWuG May 30, 09:59
Are one of you jokers PINKFLUFFYUNICORNS? - spamlet May 30, 09:48 8
- it's not me -- nm - znufrii May 30, 10:01
- Whoa...could this league be recruiting tool for ST? -- nm - Jim May 30, 09:51 3
  - Sure. Just tell them all League business happens here. - TWuG May 30, 09:54 2
    - Also, maybe Bery can link to the league page. -- nm - mara May 30, 10:21 1
      - Can we just put a link in the comments? -- nm - volnelk May 30, 10:24
- What a stupid name. -- nm - BLUESCRATCHYPOSSUMS May 30, 09:50 2
  - I would have guessed this was max. (that's a compliment, I think.) -- nm - the mystifying virtuoso May 30, 09:52 1
    - :-) -- nm - mara May 30, 10:03

- My bid on him is assuming 4. -- nm - Strongbad May 30, 10:03
why put off until tomorrow what can be put off indefinitely -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! May 30, 09:43
ST Poll: Shoulds I mow the lawn today or wait until tomorrow? -- nm - TWuG May 30, 09:42 4
- get 'er done -- nm - Beaker May 30, 10:19
- If you do it today that's just one day sooner you'll have to do it next time -- nm - Cuzzin Toddroid May 30, 10:14 1
  - Damn. That logic is irrefutable. Tomorrow it is. -- nm - TWuG May 30, 10:15
- Never put off to tomorrow what could adequately be done by foreign labour. -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 09:51
