My mom and dad have been divorced for a good 10 years now, will she EVER stop bickering and moaning about every little thing he does? - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:10 14
- "...and he always wanted me to be on top!" -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 16:22 1
  - Dude -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 16:28
- Co-dependent. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 16:12 11
  - You think I'm the enabler? -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:14 10
    - It sounds like she's just wrapped up in him ... if she hasn't let go after ten years, she may never. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:15 3
      - It's all based around money and financial stuff -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:16 2
        
        Not that I know the dynamic, but ... people who focus on that sort of thing do so because it's one of the few straws they have left to grasp at. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:16 1
        
        i completely believe this -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:18
    - Not to any great extent, no. (Sorry if you thought I meant that.) -- nm - mara Mar 13, 16:15 5
      - Then I don't understand what you mean -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:15 4
        
        I meant she's codependent. (But maybe I'm using the word wrong.) I agree with b*rycumber above, anyway. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 16:20 3
        
        Everyone uses the word wrongly; I think you might have used it correctly. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:24 1
        
        The codependent is a person who perpetuates the alcohol or drug dependence of someone close to them in a way that hampers recovery. -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:25
        
        i think that would make her the dependent :) but maybe i'm wrong -- nm - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:21

- sugar, with you liking Southland Tales - it might be just your cup of tea - non spoils inside - Epiphany Mar 13, 16:34
- Revolver - The Beatles Album? -- nm - amoxy Mar 13, 16:03 4

LIR - that John Slattery sighting at the swim lane? He was also in Sex & the City as the guy who wanted Carrie to pee on him! :D - JenBro Mar 13, 15:53 4
- I've liked for in many things, for many years. He was on "Ed" for a while, and a little known sitcom called "Maggie". He's really good. -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 16:03
- I thought the name sounded familiar -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 15:53 2
  - would be so funny to answer anything he said with the phrase " well ... ok but - I'm not gonna pee on you" ... or to shout out and point - "look - - JenBro Mar 13, 15:59 1
    - ~ Nothin' else would make my life complete til I turn your face into a toilet seat... ~ - TFox Mar 13, 16:02
Ooh. Halo maps. Last Resort, High Ground, Valhalla, Avalanche, Guardian, Foundry ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 15:52 3
- For the meeting rooms? Last Resort would probably fit will. The crappiest room. -- nm - Mop Mar 13, 16:28
- yes...those are Halo maps, you catch on quick kid -- nm - J Mar 13, 15:52 1
  - Did you miss the conversation on B2, or are you just *that* english? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:05

  - "Where'd you get those pants... at the... toilet... store?" -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 15:49
Wanted is fortunate it was in a year with so many other horrible movies. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 15:46 37
- Dude, that movie was SO entertaining - Gwaahjo Mar 13, 16:11
- it was so horrible. -- nm - Callisto Mar 13, 16:05 26
  - I suspect he was making it for the Russian audience too. - con_carne Mar 13, 16:08
  - And I don't even get the mysogynistic complaint so many others had. it was just all-around bad :) -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:06 24
    - the actual TPB is 1000 times worse, if that makes it any better :) -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 16:13
    - Other than Jolie, the honorary male, name the woman who wasn't a heinous bitch. - David Mar 13, 16:10 5
      - There were so few chicks, this would ring a lot more true if it wasn't a cast like 300. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:19 1
        
        300 at least had a reason to be that way. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:21
      - aka two. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 16:18 1
        
        It was lifted straight from the comic like that. -- nm - David Mar 13, 16:45
      - I didn't find all that many characters who weren't heinous in nature. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:15
    - Well, there was the girlfriend, and the boss.... - TFox Mar 13, 16:07 16
      - misanthropic, without a doubt. But I felt the mysogyny. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:12 15
        
        Are we really analyzing this movie *this* deeply? It was just a fun bit of entertainment. (spoils) - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:17 10
        
        I'm not asking it to be Tolstoy, but I am asking for its characters not to be repellant. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:21 9
        
        FYI... My comment was not aimed specifically at you, I'm surprised at the level of character analysis being applied to this film by many people. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:28 8
        
        if that's all you want, there are plenty of Steven Seagal movies out there. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:33 4
        
        Sure. And there is a place for that kind of mindless fun sometimes. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:42 2
        
        those are essentially live-action cartoons. - Reagen Mar 13, 16:47 1
        
        Posts like this always make me want to hit somebody with a giant mallet or something. -- nm - mara Mar 13, 16:51
        
        Under Seige 1 and 2 ruled -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 16:34
        
        You can't get away with throwing s**t up on the screen in a time of Wall-E, Dark Knight and Iron Man. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:30 2
        
        Except Terminator movies. -- nm - znufrii si Mar 13, 16:41
        
        I would argue that the characters in Wanted are just as developed as those in Iron Man. - Fuzzy Mar 13, 16:38
        
        Redeemable nihilism? Heh. -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 16:14 3
        
        see; Fight Club. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:15 2
        
        sounds more like Fight Club without Robert Paulson -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:16 1
        
        Or Harry Potter with guns. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:17
- You're wrong. Wanted would have been a blockbuster had The Matrix never existed. - JaxSean Mar 13, 16:03 4
  - This might work if Matrix hadn't been 9 years prior. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 16:05 2
    - *shrug* it was based on a comic book, wasn't it? - JaxSean Mar 13, 16:17 1
      - but that's the point - the "comic movies have no depth" cliche died years ago. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 16:35
  - I think Will is saying it wanted to *be* the matrix, and copied some bad elements from it -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 16:04
- I suspect I'd enjoy it much more if I were, say, wasted -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 15:53
- it wants to be Fight Club soooo bad. -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 15:53
- it was entertaining for what it was, but pales in comparison to Taken in all respects -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 15:47 1
  - It was the worst thing about every action movie in the last twenty years - Will Hunting Mar 13, 15:56
Cheeses. -- nm - kelly Mar 13, 15:45 14
- Colby, Gloucester, Beekaase, Monterey Jack, Asadero, Parmagiano, Reggianito, Provolone, Blarney, CoJack, Mozzarella, Ricotta, Feta, Anthotiros, - the liioulu with cake Mar 13, 16:18 2
  - ooh ... rescue rangers! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 16:19 1
    - They named rescue rabgers after greek cheese? - the liioulu with cake Mar 13, 16:26

  - brie -- nm - znufrii Mar 13, 15:46 3
    - bries nuts. -- nm - TFox Mar 13, 15:46
    - BRIE AND CHEESE DO NOT LIVE ON THE SAME CONTINENT. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 15:46 1
      - I just tastes like fat to me. However, I wouldn't mind trying a baked brie one of these days -- nm - con_carne Mar 13, 16:02
