- I don't know what religion my dentist is, and I don't have a doctor or lawyer or accountant. - Beryllium Oct 6, 08:29 2
  - So my question is: who ARE these people? - Beryllium Oct 6, 08:30

- "Slideshow: The 13 people not aware of breast cancer." So true. Who is the NFL campaign reaching at this point? -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 08:04 4
  - I agree and almost posted this yesterday. I'd love to see an impact study. Them actually WEARING the colors randomly can't be a difference maker. - volnelk Oct 6, 08:32
  - Did you see that spot of the women that went and got checked after a Pats game last year, had cancer, and was cured? - Spawn Oct 6, 08:07 2

Will Hunting you called the Orioles/Royals series. Duh. -- (link) - Inigo Oct 6, 07:35 [Backboard] 20
- To be literal boy, Will was being sarcastic. I was not. -- nm - Inigo Oct 6, 07:45 4
  - I know I read sarcastic, but I wasn't. - Will Hunting Oct 6, 07:55 2
    - They were 45 and 50-1 to win the WS preseason respectively - Reagen Oct 6, 07:58 1
      - So, roughly let's say 22-1 and 25-1 to win the pennant... - Will Hunting Oct 6, 08:08
  - Sarcastic dollars won spend just as good as the rest. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 07:53
- Impressive. - Spawn Oct 6, 07:42
- How could you not want that series. It just sounds classic. - Jovian Oct 6, 07:42 9
  - For baseball fans, it's great (hope for all teams) ... for tv people, it's abysmal. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 6, 07:54
  - [deleted] 7
    - Agreed, and I have to think they are hoping for a Dodgers/Orioles series -- nm - Jovian Oct 6, 08:32
    - Yup. But MLB corporate hates all things good. -- nm - spamlet Oct 6, 07:47
    - assuming the Cards and SF win, it has to be a worst case scenerio for MLB (given the matchups) -- nm - Beaker Oct 6, 07:46 4
      - Cards are a hugely popular team that people are starting to root against...the Giants are another crown jewel. - Will Hunting Oct 6, 08:14
      - Cards/Giants isn't all that bad. - spamlet Oct 6, 07:49 2
        
        oh for sure, but I think they'd rather have the Dodgers (LA market) and the Nats (young stars) -- nm - Beaker Oct 6, 07:50 1
        
        East Coast vs West Coast. -- nm - Tupac Shakur Oct 6, 07:53

        Heh, I thought they picked an unattractive waif to be the mistress. This explains it. -- nm - David Oct 6, 08:04 7
        
        I would have went with Kate Mara ( but she looks too much like the detective) or that girl from True Detective -- nm - Epiphany Oct 6, 08:05 6
        
        You must have read a different book than me. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 08:08 5
        
        Its been a while but I thought Andie *spoils* - Epiphany Oct 6, 08:11 4
        
        True, but she is supposed to be, to use an old phrase, sex on a stick. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 08:15 3
        
        *spoils on line from movie* - Epiphany Oct 6, 08:24 2
        
        They way I saw it (spoil) - Spawn Oct 6, 08:27 1
        
        :) -- nm - Epiphany Oct 6, 08:37
        
        He might know her from iCarly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 08:01
  - If she did it would have been an A? - Spawn Oct 6, 07:43 4
    - SM was totally gaga over her. I think she may actually get some legit offers after this movie - Epiphany Oct 6, 07:46 3
      - I actually read an interview with her a couple months ago and realize she has a good head on her shoulders. - Spawn Oct 6, 07:47 2
        
        it will be interesting to watch her career path -- nm - Epiphany Oct 6, 07:58 1
        
        I like the aspect of, "Okay, you have all seen my boobs, can we get on with my career now?" -- nm - Spawn Oct 6, 08:04

  - I feel like max is correct that it's a very 90s movie. maybe missouri is just pretty 90s, though. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 6, 07:33 9
    - Are you calling us Canada? -- nm - spamlet Oct 6, 07:49 8
      - no. I'm saying it didn't feel current somehow I just can't place. even the flashbacks seemed very ... old. - vice president peggy ann Oct 6, 07:52 7
        
        It was the dialogue a lot for me (diary entries were awful, almost Women's Entertainment Channel level). But the pacing and plot too. Good 90s. - Max Oct 6, 08:20 4
        
        Also, I went in thinking this was an Affleck-directed movie, and even after seeing Fincher's name I could still tell that it wasn't, just on style. - Max Oct 6, 08:28
        
        spoiler question - Andie Oct 6, 08:23 2
        
        correct - Max Oct 6, 08:26 1
        
        I agree with you last statement 100%. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 6, 08:30
        
        I was just joking. - spamlet Oct 6, 07:53 1
        
        I don't think I liked it. I'm not sure, though. I wasn't bored. I just wasn't entertained very well. -- nm - vice president peggy ann Oct 6, 07:58

      - Well, it is Cronenberg. -- nm - nubby Oct 6, 07:40
      - Also, Ricky Jay is the spawn of the devil. That's the only explanation for what he can do. -- nm - Was Bar Was Oct 6, 07:39 1
