- spoils - Roger More Jun 9, 11:46
anyone else watching Halt & Catch Fire on AMC? - I kinda think I may be falling for it ... sort of like when Suits first came out ... -- nm - JenBro Jun 9, 11:39 2

- To quote the great Bob Uecker: "Juuuuust a bit outside" - oblique Jun 9, 11:45
- Completely inappropriate, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this in a romantic comedy at some point. -- nm - Inigo Jun 9, 11:45
- Totally innapropriate. And if suggestion comes from above, I'm surprised it's not actionable. -- nm - mara Jun 9, 11:44
- Even Clarence Thomas wouldn't suggest it. -- nm - Imperator Jun 9, 11:41

        Your IM was assumed by the argument. -- nm - spamlet Jun 9, 11:50
        
        only if he is really stupid. Business trips are easy for cheaters, this is like putting a gigantic billboard up that you want to screw someone -- nm - Beaker Jun 9, 11:43
- I don't think "out of bounds" is the right metric, as it is binary. This doesn't just cross the line, it soars over it like Evel Knievel. -- nm - landbeck Jun 9, 11:38
- no way. -- nm - Andie Jun 9, 11:38
- well ... if it's a suite where each room is separate ... meh - but beds in the same room? no -- nm - JenBro Jun 9, 11:38

    - My former job made everyone that wasn't an officer of the company share a room. - spamlet Jun 9, 11:48
- Totally and completly. -- nm - spamlet Jun 9, 11:37
speaking of upcoming movies - we saw a trailer for The Maze Runner before Maleficent this weekend. The kids beside me *loved* it. (the trailer.) -- nm - Andie Jun 9, 11:36 1

it's absolutely nuts to me that master p is worth $200 mill. seriously?? -- nm - duchess of 3pm friday Jun 9, 11:28 2
- While in college, I legit researched this. There are a handful of 90s/00s rappers worth hundreds of millions. - MDH Jun 9, 11:42
- well, he is a master -- nm - decline Jun 9, 11:36
Rise of the Tomb Raider coming Holiday 2015. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 9, 11:27 2

  - I don't care what the title is. If it's half as good as Tomb Raider it'll be excellent. -- nm - Shaun Jun 9, 11:40
Rumor: Google will soon introduce 'Nearby' to let other 'people, places, and things' know when you're around -- (link) - Strongbad Jun 9, 11:15 4

so the melissa mccarthy movie tammy is priced pretty low for a melissa mccarthy movie. is it because we doubt she can open a movie on her own? - duchess of 3pm friday Jun 9, 11:11 6
- I worry that she can only play one character and folks may be tired of it. -- nm - ty97 Jun 9, 11:14 4
  - I think this has more to do with the types of people that play HSX -- nm - Roger More Jun 9, 11:24 1
    - HSX players certainly have a history of undervaluing movies that aren't aimed at the white male demo. - ty97 Jun 9, 11:29
  - this is kind of my fear. like, isn't will ferrell over because of this? (is he over?) -- nm - duchess of 3pm friday Jun 9, 11:19 1
    - I think this problem befalls many/most comedians, in large part due to the nature of the comedy business. - ty97 Jun 9, 11:21
- I think she's pretty much a $30mil opener on her own, if the movie looks competent. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 9, 11:13

22 Jump Street is 95% at RT with 42 reviews. That's refreshing. -- nm - ty97 Jun 9, 10:54 1
- it is a hard trailer for me. I thought the first one looked dumb based on trailers but it ruled. The trailers for the 22 don't grab me either - Beaker Jun 9, 10:55

Andie's gun to your head: You have to choose one of the following: - prayformojo Jun 9, 10:49 41
- Probably C :( -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 9, 11:59
- D...grab gun and pull the trigger -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 9, 11:57
- Sadly, A. -- nm - Krusty Jun 9, 11:10 1
  - Though, would audio books count or is that a fair workaround? -- nm - Krusty Jun 9, 11:57
- C -- nm - Strongbad Jun 9, 11:09

- A -- nm - znufrii Jun 9, 11:02
- Can never watch a TV *show* or can never watch anything televised? - ty97 Jun 9, 10:56 4
  - news and sports are shows. They have ratings, therefore shows. -- nm - Beaker Jun 9, 10:58 3
    - Yeah, the only exception should be during bad weather or other emergency. -- nm - mara Jun 9, 11:16
    - Yep, that could be a problem. I use TV for local news in particular. -- nm - Meg Jun 9, 11:01 1
      - Gotta know the various people playing on your turf? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 9, 11:08
- Does A include audio books? -- nm - Ender Jun 9, 10:56 4
  - Tricky. It doesn't have the "any medium" clause for books. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 9, 10:58 3
    - ebooks may also be a loophole... -- nm - Ender Jun 9, 11:23 2
      - You still read them though. They're a type of book, in a way that an audiobook is not -- nm - Roger More Jun 9, 11:25 1
        
        Yup. If I say "I'm writing a book," am I lying if I'm not writing it on actual paper? -- nm - mara Jun 9, 11:32
- [deleted]
- A is unthinkable. Probably B, though it breaks my heart. -- nm - Roger More Jun 9, 10:53
- a -- nm - Meg Jun 9, 10:53
- I'd let her shoot. The gun's just full of winning lottery tickets, anyway. -- nm - Inigo Jun 9, 10:53 1
  - A if it's anyone else's gun. -- nm - Inigo Jun 9, 10:56
- B -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 9, 10:53 2
  - You just ceded Archer and Futurama. -- nm - Imperator Jun 9, 10:56 1
    - Exactly why I chose "C". Screw star wars. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 9, 10:57
- c, I think -- nm - Beryllium Jun 9, 10:53
- a -- nm - kelly Jun 9, 10:52
- a. Kim and I will disagree for a change. -- nm - Imperator Jun 9, 10:52
- a -- nm - amoxy Jun 9, 10:52
- a -- nm - Shaun Jun 9, 10:51 1
  - Actually, I'll take b. TV mostly blows. -- nm - Shaun Jun 9, 10:51
- a). eventually most of the good ones make their way to b and c anyway -- nm - Beaker Jun 9, 10:51 2
  - Yeah, Catcher in the Rye's seven seasons on UPN were great -- nm - Beryllium Jun 9, 10:55 1
    - give it time, they just got around to the Bible for goodness sakes -- nm - Beaker Jun 9, 10:57
- [deleted]
- easily c. -- nm - duchess of 3pm friday Jun 9, 10:50 3
  - this surprises me -- nm - prayformojo Jun 9, 10:52 2
    - I have a strange relationship with TV. I assume she means, "I can't stream any tv." tv is how I unplug -- I watch 42 minutes of something - duchess of 3pm friday Jun 9, 10:58 1
      - (this said, I am thinking more and more of cutting the cord.) -- nm - duchess of 3pm friday Jun 9, 11:11
- TV. in a second. -- nm - Andie Jun 9, 10:50
- c -- nm - mara Jun 9, 10:50
