    - Hmm. I'll check my spam folder. Thanks. -- nm - nubby Nov 24, 18:57 1
      - they might have only sent it out to active sellers - znufrii Nov 24, 18:58
- What are the #s now? -- nm - Spawn Nov 24, 18:51 1

- What statement? -- nm - amoxy Nov 24, 18:45 2
  - The statement being made in Ferguson. Though in fairness, if it takes 45 minutes to explain, there probably should be a trial. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 24, 19:03 1
    - that's....totally *not* the standard. -- nm - znufrii Nov 24, 19:03

He has opened very defensively which seems a poor approach, PR-wise. -- nm - ty97 Nov 24, 18:17 4
- I like the long list of details. -- nm - Max Nov 24, 18:23 3
  - I partly agree. He hasn't given any details of evidence yet, but sure, describing the process is good. - ty97 Nov 24, 18:25 2
    - (and he is getting into that now, which is good) -- nm - ty97 Nov 24, 18:26 1
      - CBS cut away at that point, which is annoying. -- nm - Max Nov 24, 18:30

        I hope no one dies in the rioting tonight. - Subversive Nov 24, 18:27 4
        
        And there they go... (CNN feed) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 24, 18:28
        
        Agreed. My comment below wasn't my opinion on the case, but we riots will happen. Hopefully nothing serious. -- nm - MDH Nov 24, 18:28 2
        
        We know. -- nm - MDH Nov 24, 18:29 1
        
        I'm not willing to say 'we know' riots will happen. Anger will happen, riots may. - ty97 Nov 24, 18:34

- The closer this gets to reality, the stronger my vapors. -- nm - Cran-Baron-ies Nov 24, 18:32
- I hope they take the Marvel path and drop hints in it related to other King books and do those movies next - Beaker Nov 24, 18:18 16
  - apparently ALL of King's books are related somehow. -- nm - Remlik Nov 24, 18:24 7
    - back when I read all of his numerous times over I could rhyme off most of the connections right away -- nm - Beaker Nov 24, 18:26 4
      - some are pretty flimsy. Insomnia for example. - Reagen Nov 24, 18:31 3

  - Well, further, all King movies should lead up to The Dark Tower series/films. -- nm - nubby Nov 24, 18:20 3
    - Minimally, they'd need to do 'Salem's Lot (again) and Hearts in Atlantis (again) -- nm - nubby Nov 24, 18:22 2
      - and Pet Sematary (again) -- nm - Jovian Nov 24, 18:24 1
        
        and Insomnia, which I haven't read but will. -- nm - Cran-Baron-ies Nov 24, 18:31
  - Like to see if they would ever have the balls to adapt The Long Walk -- nm - Jovian Nov 24, 18:20 1
    - also, this is a joke, they would never adapt this. - Jovian Nov 24, 18:21
- I originally thought four films was too much, and might still (three seems the max) - ty97 Nov 24, 18:14 2
  - still one of my favorites all time - Jovian Nov 24, 18:19 1
    - Me too. I have been trying to get both of my boys (age 18 and 15) to read it with no success -- nm - Rollo Nov 24, 18:28
