A friend of my wife's and mine has been vague posting a lot lately. We found out why over the weekend and it sounds like a recipe for hurt feelings - TWuG Sep 2, 05:48 2
- so two couples merged into a threesome when one of them died? -- nm - Epiphany Sep 2, 05:51 1
  - Not quite. L&D were a couple. #3 was #3 in the couple where one of the partners died. -- nm - TWuG Sep 2, 05:52
Very interesting map showing what public school teachers are paid by state. Even with cost of living factored in, I'm surprised DC is that high -- (link) - prayformojo Sep 2, 05:35

Meg, opening story on the 10 pm news is miles of gridlock to statline with Californians trying to get home -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 1, 22:03 1
- And 15 was closed earlier through Victorville. Typical weekend. -- nm - Meg Sep 1, 22:10

- Or, perhaps, NA BO is down because the last silver screen generation is at an age where they don't have time for cinema, and ... - Beryllium Sep 1, 22:07 1
  - People are getting a bit choosier, certainly - Reagen Sep 1, 22:12
- The appeal must be hidden code I can't see then, because this year's movies don't particularly look any more foreign to me than any other year. -- nm - Max Sep 1, 20:44 30
  - Yeah, last year had Iron Man 3 (with special scenes filmed in China) and Pacific Rim. -- nm - Roger More Sep 1, 21:22

      - This is your David hates GotG type loony post -- nm - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 Sep 1, 21:20 4
        
        Not really, cause Avatar blew. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 2, 05:42 2
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Ender Sep 2, 06:51
        
        (pun intended) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Sep 2, 05:42
        
        Kim is the one who hates it. I just see it for what it is. -- nm - David Sep 2, 03:39
    - well sure, it encourages revolution against established authority. -- nm - mafic Sep 1, 20:57

  - [deleted] 15
    - but I don't see how that translates to *less* domestic box office. -- nm - Reagen Sep 1, 21:14 14
      - [deleted] 3
        
        that feels like quite a stretch to me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 1, 21:40 2
        
        Yeah - by the third act, you've already paid for your ticket. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 21:43 1
        
        You joke but it leads to horrible reviews and negative first day comments on social media, which creates the negative spin cycle. -- nm - David Sep 2, 03:40
      - I can get behind it. It's basically "if movies are designed to appeal to the widest possible audience, they appeal to no-one" -- nm - Roger More Sep 1, 21:17 9
        
        appealing to the widest possible audience is Hollywood's business. - Reagen Sep 1, 21:36 6
        
        But the widest possible audience has expanded a lot recently. Before, it was domestic demand which drove Hollywood decisions about what movies to make - Roger More Sep 1, 21:50 5
        
        Thinking about it a little further, Apatow's speaking as a comedy director. - Roger More Sep 1, 22:12 4
        
        Eh. 3 of last year's biggest hits were Apatow-style comedies. - Reagen Sep 1, 22:14 3
        
        Sure, but those were big hits domestically, not internationally. - Roger More Sep 1, 22:25 1
        
        And they're being made, is my point. - Reagen Sep 1, 22:30
        
        (I'm actually working on a larger project looking into just these kinds of shifts over the years, FWIW) -- nm - Reagen Sep 1, 22:18
        
        Though I also think Pixar's decision to push back its summer 2014 release to next year and Paul Walker's death cost the domestic box office $500M this - Roger More Sep 1, 21:33 1
        
        Which is certainly another thing to consider. a lot of conclusions can be drawn from circumstance - Reagen Sep 1, 21:39
Grilled pineapple is sooo damn good. - IrishStephen (2013 FJS and QV CHAMPION!) Sep 1, 20:36 5
- Sprinkle some cinnamon on it next time. -- nm - jaxSean Sep 1, 20:38 4
  - Not a fan of cinnamon. But, I did sprinkle it with a Creole seasoning. -- nm - IrishStephen (2013 FJS and QV CHAMPION!) Sep 1, 20:46 1

- They claim to have invited Michael Sam to next week's Raw to speak. - Tim Sep 1, 20:24 2
  - oh, no wonder they were hyping two matches next week as well, the MNF doubleheader always kills them. -- nm - Tim Sep 1, 20:25 1
    - yup -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 20:33
god, ebay support is stupid. someone used my email address to sign up, I report this, ebay sends me an email asking me to change my email address. -- nm - mafic Sep 1, 20:01 1
- hit the 'forgot my password' button, ebay will send you a temp new one, then close the account -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 1, 21:55
My cat loves to sit on my lap while I am sitting in front of the computer - amoxy Sep 1, 19:40 6
- There's a neighborhood black cat that cruises around. -- nm - budice Sep 1, 19:57

- I have to clip Jack-Jack's claws so that I don't bleed 18 times a day. -- nm - David Sep 1, 19:43

  - I have been humming ICHB more-or-less non-stop since I saw that. - Spawn Sep 1, 20:34
  - with his black coat and black hair I'm sure he was exotic looking for Bloomington in the early 90's -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 19:49 5
    - Is that what worked on you? -- nm - Bacon Sep 1, 19:50 1
      - HA! -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 19:55
    - All the dumb Lestat fangirls cheated themselves into herpes. -- nm - David Sep 1, 19:50 2
      - they all thought he was Joe Elliot -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 19:55 1
        
        The day I threw out my ultra ripped jeans? - Spawn Sep 1, 20:35
- Word -- nm - Bacon Sep 1, 19:32
Was checking out an Indian Casino Resort that I wasn't familiar with....this disclaimer was on the reservation page... - Meg Sep 1, 19:25 7
- uh, Meg....Indian Casino, reservation page? :))) -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 1, 20:06 1
  - You're a few beats behind....see below :) -- nm - Meg Sep 1, 20:22
- Heh -- nm - Epiphany Sep 1, 19:37 2
  - At least they don't charge room taxes, resort fees, or parking - makes a big difference. - Meg Sep 1, 19:40 1
    - Hotel fees are such a rip. After our October San Fran trip. I'm going with VRBO or AirBnB -- nm - Epiphany Sep 1, 19:44
- The reservation's reservation page. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 19:31 1

WKRP in Cincy...complete series DVD release...Shout Factory is putting it out and have acquired over 70% of the original music rights... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 1, 19:16 6
- If it has the original music, I will seriously consider it...Otherwise, No way -- nm - amoxy Sep 1, 19:27 5
  - over 70% of the original. probably the best it's going to be. -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 19:32 3
    - I want it all -- nm - amoxy Sep 1, 19:40 2
      - Alot of it is faded behind dialougue anyway so you probably wouldnt notice at 70 percent -- nm - eag Sep 1, 20:02 1
        
        Depends. If they can't get Pink Floyd, one of the best scenes is pretty much ruined. -- nm - TWuG Sep 1, 20:10
  - 70%. -- nm - Spawn Sep 1, 19:31
go Krusty go! -- nm - prayformojo Sep 1, 19:04 1

Mireille Enos is the worst of a lot of bad in Sabotage. -- nm - Max Sep 1, 19:02 5
- She's the defective detective in The Killing, right? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 19:07 2
  - Sarah Linden. I haven't seen The Killing. -- nm - Max Sep 1, 19:09 1
    - Calling her a "defective detective" makes it sound vastly more amusing/uplifting than it actually is, despite it being an accurate description of her. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 21:47
- she's not as bad as the writer that came up with that ending -- nm - prayformojo Sep 1, 19:04 1
  - I'm only half way in. -- nm - Max Sep 1, 19:06

  - I thought you hated it!?! - Spawn Sep 1, 19:36 3
    - Hated aspects of it. There were spots of clever and that alley scene was on of them. -- nm - TWuG Sep 1, 19:39 2
      - Are you aware who the actor was? - Spawn Sep 1, 19:43 1
        
        I wasn't. That's awesome. - TWuG Sep 1, 19:51
the WWE invited Michael Sam to Raw next week. they're offering him an open mic to tell his story. -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 18:53 7
- Genuine question: he gets the mike but also a story line in a match right? - Epiphany Sep 1, 19:42 2
  - he won't wrestle at all. If he even shows up he'll be involved with something for the night...btw nmbp - Remlik Sep 1, 19:48 1
    - Woot! To im -- nm - Epiphany Sep 1, 20:21
- The classy thing to do is decline, right? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 19:01 3

    - ugh. best interest NOT to... -- nm - IrishStephen Sep 1, 19:11 1
      - agreed. -- nm - Remlik Sep 1, 19:17
hey, vegemite's only 80% of a lethal salt dose. (and I like, "it's like someone tried to make food, and failed miserably.") -- nm - mafic Sep 1, 18:51 2
