David, did you see on the BBs where Will said that Winter Solider is the best Marvel movie so far? - Shaun Sep 11, 08:57 19
- If we are only considering Marvel Studio movies, I have it behind Avengers and Iron Man I - amoxy Sep 11, 09:09 12
  - Iron Man 1 is ultimately a decent movie containing a really great performance. Thinking about it only lessens the movie (spoils) - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:14 10
    - Cap 2 spoils inside in case anyone hasn't seen it. -- nm - Shaun Sep 11, 09:25
    - Best movie of that year. -- nm - David Sep 11, 09:15 8
      - Iron Man? or Avengers? - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:16 7
        
        Iron Man. It's a masterpiece of character development. -- nm - David Sep 11, 09:17 6
        
        It's not even the best comic movie of the summer of 2008. Dark Knight is far ahead of it. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:20 5
        
        Part of the strength of Iron Man is the journey of it. - Spawn Sep 11, 09:25 1
        
        Oh, I get the character, and I get Downey is brilliant... - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:28
        
        The Dark Knight's third act is a mess. -- nm - David Sep 11, 09:23 2
        
        I agree with David on this one. Best movie of 2008. TDK is wildly overrated IMO as a whole. -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 09:25
        
        The Dark Knight Returns third act is a mess....TDK is brilliant still. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:24
  - For me: Iron Man, Captain America 2, Avengers, Guardians -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 09:13
- I loved Winter Soldier. It's in my top 3 for the year to date. -- nm - David Sep 11, 08:58 5
  - Me too. And I was very meh on the first one. -- nm - MDH Sep 11, 09:11 1
    - We couldn't even recall much of Cap 1; that's how underwhelming it was in the Marvel litany. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:15
  - Yeah, it was terrific. - Kim Pine Sep 11, 09:07 2
    - It's not the first time you've used me as a human shield. -- nm - David Sep 11, 09:09 1

catching up on backboards, continued positive thoughts your way, wiggums . . . - i'm not dead yet ! Sep 11, 08:48
Tivo Fall update includes "Record series on all channels" THANK GOD. That has to be the dumbest "feature" of Tivo - oblique Sep 11, 08:48 8
- I want the opposite. ReplayTV used to let me choose the specific day I wanted to record a show. Without that, Tivo records the Simpsons all the time. - Mop Sep 11, 08:53 3
  - You say that like it's a bad thing. -- nm - David Sep 11, 08:54 1
    - When I was smoking crack, I was high on life. Everything was good. But then I discovered other drugs and realized... - Mop Sep 11, 08:56
  - Ah, ReplayTV. I think I still have mine somewhere in the house -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 08:54
- Yup. The other one that agitates me is that you cannot define HD only programming. - David Sep 11, 08:51 1
  - Overall, I've been very happy in my switch from MythTV to Tivo but yeah, HD only recording/preference is another thing I miss - oblique Sep 11, 08:53
- ... you record football? - Spawn Sep 11, 08:51 1
  - *stares blankly* - oblique Sep 11, 08:52
~Oh, if you only knew, what we've been up to. I guarantee you'd keep it secret~ - Epiphany Sep 11, 08:45 1
- ~And if I share my secret, you're gonna have to keep it, nobody else can see this~ -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 08:46
I finally found a launcher for Minecraft so my son can play mods effortlessly. - Mop Sep 11, 08:44 7
- I just want a mapping program that I don't need an IT degree to install and use. -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 08:51
- linky -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 08:45 5
  - this -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 08:45 4
    - Found it. -- (link) - Mop Sep 11, 08:46 3
      - Are they all Minecraft mods or do they have other games as well? - spamlet Sep 11, 08:50 2
        
        I just modded Borderlands with Minecraft mods!!! -- nm - Spawn Sep 11, 08:51
        
        I believe it's built on Minecraft. -- nm - Mop Sep 11, 08:51
I hope when USA Today picks up the phone and asks BOP about this, their answer isn't "It was a disaster". -- (link) - Mop Sep 11, 08:41 6
- My only comment is that Spider-Man and Transformers did not underperform. Both behaved as expected in North America. - David Sep 11, 08:53 5
  - And Transformers, in particular, is a huge cash cow overseas. - Mop Sep 11, 08:54 4
    - Exhibitors are the ones who took it on the chins. The overwhelming majority of movies distributed this summer were ultimately profitable. - David Sep 11, 09:01 3
      - I think it was the head of NATO who warned that 2015 would be tough for theater owners because studios are just saturating the summer. - Mop Sep 11, 09:08 2
        
        I don't think studio want films out of theatres as fast as possible, but more they want to make as much money as they can as quickly as they can. - Inigo Sep 11, 09:13 1
        
        And things like Cap 2 doing 250mil and GotG doing 325mil isn't going to help sway them to space releases out. - Will Hunting Sep 11, 09:22
zork - if you are around, I am up for some In n' Out. -- nm - Roger More Sep 11, 08:33 5
- Yesterday, I knew these sorts of responses would happen at some point. I'm going into a meeting now and also heard something about a wristband policy - zork Sep 11, 09:00 1
  - wristband? sold-out? well, that sucks -- nm - Roger More Sep 11, 09:05
- This is *not* that kind of board! Get the to Tinder! -- nm - TWuG Sep 11, 08:34 1
  - I think that would fall more towards Grinder -- nm - J Sep 11, 08:47

So how soon before we get Al Queda attacking Isis - eag Sep 11, 08:22 13
- honestly, they would be going at it now if it wasn't for them deciding we're the enemy -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 11, 11:34
- There's a whole lot of "the enemy of my enemy of my enemy" stuff going on over there. It's like a big battle of bad guys. Keep it contained and - TWuG Sep 11, 08:25 11
  - Isis have killed too many innocent Muslims to stay out of it. - loyola Sep 11, 08:31 7
    - I'm fine with bombing. I'm not fine putting our men and women over there. That level of involvement seems only to make things worse. - TWuG Sep 11, 08:34 6
      - Agree with the sentiment of your im. Coralling the neighbours to work in unison would seem to be akin to herding cats. - loyola Sep 11, 08:42 5
        
        I disagree with the premise the anyone should be the "World's policeman". - TWuG Sep 11, 08:54 4
        
        In the absence of a functioning United Nations, the US has to step in. - loyola Sep 11, 09:00 3
