- You can do a 3-5 days weekend for 325-335. -- nm - ty97 Dec 8, 09:58 5
  - It would be an absolutely insane and amazing weekend but wipe out all my discretionary spending for the year. - Tim Dec 8, 10:01 3
    - And at least they scheduled it better, last year it was the same weekend as EDC. Whoops. -- nm - Tim Dec 8, 10:05

- So, where are the teachers these TA's are assisting? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 8, 09:47 1
  - UofO makes heavy use of TA's. The faculty wouldn't - and can't - operate the campus without them. The GTAs played this perfectly. - Mop Dec 8, 09:49

        She's interesting to look at, but that chin... plus she never seems sincerely happy, like she's always stressed. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 10:25 4
        
        also, she never plays a happy person. how good an actress is she?? -- nm - sheriff peggy ann Dec 8, 10:38 1
        
        happy chicks are bimbos, maj. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 10:40
        
        I think this is what makes her not hot. -- nm - sheriff peggy ann Dec 8, 10:32
        
        I think this is what makes her not hot. \ -- nm - sheriff peggy ann Dec 8, 10:32
        
        I agree with this. I'd even say she's " sexless" - very unassuming -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 8, 09:57 5
        
        it really depends on the movie, or the awards show. I am so confused by her.... - groiny Dec 8, 09:59 4
        
        I'm trying to recall if I have seen her in any " sexy" type roles or scenes where sex is going on. I can't think of any - Pippy Bells Dec 8, 10:03 3

    - Chastain: "I want to be seen as a professional, not a stereotype. Women are always reduced to being the girlfriend or the victim" - Roger More Dec 8, 09:52 2
      - Could be just a slam on the industry, not the women who take what limited roles are available. -- nm - Max Dec 8, 10:27 1
        
        It's barely even a slam on the industry - it's how she wants to define herself, and other people feeling rejected by it. -- nm - Roger More Dec 8, 10:31
    - This cover is my introduction to that particular turn of phrase -- nm - Good Baron Wenceslas Dec 8, 09:28

      - I thought it was quite good, but not knock me out of my seat good. - ty97 Dec 8, 09:49 2
        
        You should also check out the Derek Jacobi version - Breaking the Code. -- nm - LMS Dec 8, 09:52 1
        
        He's one of the best actors in the world. -- nm - David Dec 8, 10:43
    - Agreed. I am surprised that neither of them is getting more critic award play after the strong reviews. - ty97 Dec 8, 09:34 1
      - [deleted]
    - Re: Theory of Everything, the actors are better than the movie. -- nm - Good Baron Wenceslas Dec 8, 09:33
