Customer: "How do you spell 'fantasize' and what does it mean?" I give answer. "What's the word like that that means killing children?" -- nm - mara Aug 1, 08:41 25
- I think everyone is assuming this was a male but was it? If female, she could be having postpartum depression -- nm - zork Aug 1, 08:57 6
  - An older male, probably elderly, really. -- nm - mara Aug 1, 08:58 3

  - I just said, "Oh, that's infanticide" and spelled it. -- nm - mara Aug 1, 08:50 9

REByesterday. Looks like our theater has GotG on the IMAX plus three screens. That is pretty much full throttle. - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:33
omg - real life foosball. awesome party game -- (link) - Andie Aug 1, 08:32
The opening montage in Up might be the purest 5 minutes of movie-making in my lifetime. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 08:30 10
- yup. -- nm - znufrii Aug 1, 08:54
- [deleted] 8
  - IMO part of the brilliance of that scene is that it isn't the kids sobbing -- nm - JD Aug 1, 08:33 7
    - I think I cried like, 3 times during 'Up'. But I saw it the weekend I got engaged so there may have been a lot of extra emotions hanging around. -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 08:35 5
      - Kevin reminded you of Mel? -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:36 4

        I totally take this as a compliment. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 1, 08:45
        
        Mel does not like the cone of shame. -- nm - Roger More Aug 1, 08:41
    - nope, that's all grown-up emotion there. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 08:34
[deleted] 1
- That would be awful. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 08:58
[deleted]
LIR: Jim: the Word is actually a phrase: Pressure Ridges. -- nm - OAE -- You Know Who Aug 1, 08:09
MLB: After last night, Kershaw has now beaten every NL team. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 1, 08:06 9
- I'm not...all that impressed really. - Will Hunting Aug 1, 08:27
- [deleted] 6

    - [deleted] 4

        [deleted]
- Er... -- nm - Tim Aug 1, 08:12
Remlik and I had an interesting thought about the weekend that Cap 3 and Batman v Superman opens: IMAX. - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:06 12
- and also...if both films open north of say...70 Million Hollywood might go...we can open to A List movies on the same weekend. -- nm - Remlik Aug 1, 08:22 11
  - Didnt that use to happen back in the day before thought like in the 80's big movies opening same week -- nm - eag Aug 1, 08:43 1
    - Not so much. Ghostbusters and Gremlins both opened on the same weekend, but that's an anomaly. - Roger More Aug 1, 08:50
  - I'd like to think there's a 100% probability of those opening at 70+ on the same weekend. -- nm - Shaun Aug 1, 08:23 8
    - Am I wrong for feeling like I'll be shocked is those 2 movies actually end up opening on the same weekend? -- nm - Jim Aug 1, 08:27 6
      - No. I think someone is going to bail on that weekend. -- nm - Shaun Aug 1, 08:28 5
        
        I would have said that, but they may have crossed the event horizon. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:30 4
        
        i bet it's basically a game of chicken right now. neither wants to be the one to back down and be seen as 'lesser'. - Andie Aug 1, 08:35 3
        
        Marvel will not. That is their day. It is a question of if WB will eat their words. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:37 2
        
        I'm sure they'll stand pat as long as possible...but the quality of the film might make a difference... - Jim Aug 1, 08:43 1
        
        MoS was viewed as make-or-break for them, but it fell sort of short. - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:49
    - Yeah, I think the focus would be "How much would it have opened to if it wasn't competing with the other movie for screens and attention?" -- nm - Roger More Aug 1, 08:27
so, assume every theatre showing GOTGX is closed for an ebola scare, but all other theatres are open, and you are forced to see a movie this weekend, - Andie Aug 1, 08:02 38
- mom wants to the 100 steps (she's into french cooking) -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 1, 13:02
- 22 Jump Street -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 08:47 4

      - I'm trying! There's just not! enough! time!!!! -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 08:54 1
        
        Mel needs to start an Orphan Diva program -- nm - zork Aug 1, 08:55
- Get On Up, Begin Again, Chef (I'm sort of miffed I haven't seen this one yet.) -- nm - Diva Aug 1, 08:23
- Probably Get on Up. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 08:19 1
  - Actually, Begin Again is still playing here so I'd pick that. -- nm - spamlet Aug 1, 08:20
- forced? probably lucy. Unless I can fight back against the force and clear the hell out of Dodge before things go pandemic. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 1, 08:14 1
  - i admit it isn't the *most likely* of scenarios. -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 08:15
- Boyhood if I can find somewhere playing it. -- nm - LMS Aug 1, 08:13
- Boyhood -- nm - znufrii Aug 1, 08:13

- You chance the ebola and go see Guardians of the Galaxy. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:03 6
  - but the theatre is closed! it's not even showing! -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 08:04 5
    - I find a copy of the movie, slip it into the projector. And enjoy it anyhoo. ;-D -- nm - Broot Aug 1, 08:06 4
      - hey, what did you think of Into The Storm? like insanely predictable and obvious, right? -- nm - Andie Aug 1, 08:07 3
        
        although (spoilers) - Andie Aug 1, 08:08 2

        Nice. Somehow had only 50k shares but then went up to the 100k. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 1, 08:35
