- some dogs are just... trouble. our puppy (she's almost 2... but still).. manages to burrow into things and find the absolute worst things to chew on. - colin Oct 6, 06:39 5
  - My parents had a lab that would eat anything and everything. My mom had that house totally dog-proofed, I'm not even sure where that dog found some of - kelly Oct 6, 06:44 3
    - dogs are known to disembowl a couch to make a den, eating much of the stuffing -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 6, 13:06

Good morning. So, what Oscar nominations does Gone Girl get? -- nm - prayformojo Oct 6, 06:17 9
- all of them? -- nm - znufrii Oct 6, 06:25
- [deleted] 6
  - Agreed, Oscar likes to nominated Fincher's films. I would think cinematography, too. -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 06:41 1
    - If it's a weak year in the category, Carrie Coon might get a nomination for Supporting Actress. -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 06:43
  - I wish I liked the Score more as a stand alone piece. I haven't seen the movie so maybe it works in conjunction with it. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 6, 06:26 2
    - I think it would be weird out of context. -- nm - volnelk Oct 6, 06:29 1
      - Without having listened to it yet, it can't be much weirder than TSN's. -- nm - Reagen Oct 6, 06:32

Proving the FF is RNG, I *crushed* it in BF this week but in FJS I'm likely to get spanked by Demaryius Thomas -- nm - oblique Oct 6, 06:04

we're going to spend a week in Seattle for our anniversary later this month.. what part of town should we AirBnB in? - colin Oct 6, 05:24 14
- you'd likely have better result asking this after 8:30ish west coast time. or maybe emailing west coasters directly. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 6, 05:29 5
  - because no one from the east coast has ever been to Seattle and couldn't possibly have any suggestions? -- nm - znufrii Oct 6, 05:32 1
    - oh, my sister lives there. I could make suggestions. but not as competently as a west coaster. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 6, 05:33

  - I second this. EMP museum! -- nm - MDH Oct 6, 06:34
  - i went to the giant opening weekend of that. crazy concerts etc. an old friend of mine worked as an assistant curator setting it all up. -- nm - Andie Oct 6, 06:08 1
    - its much cooler than I thought it would be -- nm - Epiphany Oct 6, 06:17
- We were there in June and attended a Solstic Parade in Fremont, you guys would love it there. -- (link) - Epiphany Oct 6, 05:27 3

  - People calling it midogynist have badly missed the point. -- nm - David Oct 6, 05:49 12
    - I think the misogyny claims come from people who assume these characters are meant to represent all men and women. -- nm - Dano Oct 6, 06:36 7
      - why would anybody ever do that about anything? people and characters are individuals. -- nm - Diva Oct 6, 06:46 6
        
        movies would be insanely boring if every character was supposed to be representative of *everyone*. -- nm - Andie Oct 6, 06:47 5
        
        Agreed, but I do think there's allegory in Gone Girl for how all of us act in relationships, though. -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 06:57 3
        
        it raises the question of how well do we really know each other, yes - among other things. - Diva Oct 6, 07:25 2
        
        I think some people expand the movie to think it is making a statement on men and women in general (spoilers) - Dano Oct 6, 07:31 1
        
        that's messed up then. -- nm - Diva Oct 6, 07:32
        
        exactly. -- nm - Diva Oct 6, 06:55
    - Given the B Cinemascore, I wonder how many others feel like pixie does. -- nm -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 06:01 1
      - Oh, it was always going to be divisive. It is not a fuzzy film. -- nm - David Oct 6, 06:07
    - but what grade did Max give it? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 6, 05:53 1
      - As near as I can tell, he gave it a time traveler's A. -- nm - David Oct 6, 05:57

  - Did you go to Skeleton Twins? - Reagen Oct 6, 05:58 1
    - we did not. maybe I'll go one day this week. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 6, 06:28
- I think AMC is starting a Walking Dead marathon as well leading into next week's premiere -- nm - Beaker Oct 6, 04:52
I see the Pats kept getting penalties galore (12 for 114 yards I believe). Seemed every play last night had a stupid penalty - Beaker Oct 6, 04:40 1
- Pats are the new 49rs? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 6, 05:30
Thousands die in Sierra Leone while shipments of medical supplies sit in port because the opposition organized the donations. -- (link) - droidlet Oct 6, 04:24 1
