  - the UN is like a Crizzly bear - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 17, 09:52 1
    - C=G -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 17, 09:52
- I don't mean to be insensitive, but if they're killing people, are we surprised/extra-outraged that they aren't giving them nice individual burials? - ty97 Dec 17, 09:47 2
  - i don't think so but is is a piece of fact related to the story - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 17, 09:49 1
    - That was decent of them. -- nm - Loyola Dec 17, 09:51

If I see any of the new LOTR trilogy, I have failed. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:34 40
- I watched the first LOTR flick and was smart enough to avoid the rest. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 09:38 39
  - I watched the first one and enjoyed it. Watched the second one but do not remember it. A SS sent me the third one but I never got around to watching. - Ultron Dec 17, 09:43
  - who are you people??? -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:38 37
    - I like my movies to be concise. The LOTR were the anti-concise. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:44 19
      - I dunno, man some of the best movies of all time are that long -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 09:58 7
        
        x3, though? -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 10:02 1
        
        As someone else mentioned, it may be an issue with ROTK (but when you sweep the Oscars, who in the frig is counting?) -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 10:04
        
        movie length is not an issue for me, UNLESS it is not using the time wisely. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:59 4
        
        Exactly. Which he did not. -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 10:05 1
        
        I give him a pass on that. -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 10:07
        
        Some 90 minute movies seem like an eternity. -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 10:00 1
        
        Exactly. And so many epic length films seem over in half as long -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 10:03
      - Anti-concise = immersive experience. At least to me. - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 17, 09:54
      - I loved every minute of them. The length didn't bother me at all (though it has kept me from re-watching them from start to finish). I only saw the - pmb Dec 17, 09:50 1
        
        the new one is only 2 hours and 25 minutes or so. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:51
      - I agree that ROTK had so much wasted time, but the others, notsomuch. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:46 7
        
        RotK was the right balance of respecting the material and edits. - Mel Profit Dec 17, 10:04 1
        
        several sequences ran too long IMO, I still loved it, but it is true.... - groiny Dec 17, 10:06
        
        The first two could have been combined for one movie, easily. -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 09:48 4
        
        NO. You should have shaved 30 minutes out of the ROTK, easily, the first 2, were perfect. - groiny Dec 17, 09:50 1
        
        The extended edition Blu-rays are glorious. Even the packaging is epic. -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 09:51
        
        Wrong. -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 09:48 1
        
        Okay, all three could have been, then. -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 09:50
    - [deleted] 4
      - "The ring corrupts!" Yeah, we got it 2 hour ago.....move to the finish. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:45
      - so factually inaccurate. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:45 2
        
        OK, six hours walking up, six hours walking down! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 17, 09:47
        
        Right? Four little people walking up a hill is totally for him! -- nm - ty97 Dec 17, 09:45
    - People who don't want to be bored by films. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 09:40 6
      - I would think a dimebag and a LOTR flick would be the shit. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:41 5
        
        For a good nap, yes. I liked the books when I was a kid but that first film just bored me to death. -- nm - Krusty Dec 17, 09:45 1
        
        You read thru the absolute disaster named Tom Bombadil and thought the FOTR was boring?!!? - Shaun Dec 17, 09:46
        
        "The finest weed in the South Farthing." - con_carne Dec 17, 09:44
        
        Shrooms: "It all makes sense now." -- nm - budice Dec 17, 09:43 1
        
        I think that would be hell. It would make it seem twice as long, at least. -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 09:44
    - People who don't like the LOTR trilogy are the same people who think puppies are ugly. -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 09:39 2
      - Bad analogy for me. :-) - Krusty Dec 17, 09:41
      - #notallpuppies -- nm - Max Dec 17, 09:41
    - The are unhappy -- nm - amoxy Dec 17, 09:39 1
      - I liked LOTR 1,2,3 a lot. I haven't seen The Hobbit, but not for lack of interest. Just lack of time. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 09:40
AGAIN TONIGHT: WATCH LIVE IN USA - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 17, 09:33
I hate getting old - ty97 Dec 17, 09:32 9
- That's not getting old. That's just too much of the boom-boom, my friend. -- nm - Mop Dec 17, 10:06
- chek your BP in the leg - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 17, 09:45
- That is strange. It could be a sign. -- nm - Loyola Dec 17, 09:44
- drink more water. -- nm - Remlik Dec 17, 09:40
- Eat a Banana before bed - amoxy Dec 17, 09:39
- It sure beats the alternative. -- nm - David Dec 17, 09:34
- Do you have health benefits? Maybe they'd cover a massage or chiropractor -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 09:33
- ooh, this is how an episode of Monsters Inside Me usually starts. -- nm - Max Dec 17, 09:33
- Then don't. -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 09:33
I am actually bummed that I will not get to see another new Hobbit / LOTR movie. - groiny Dec 17, 09:31 6
- agreed - I've made the opening night to most of them (like possibly 5)... - Mel Profit Dec 17, 09:42
- I didn't make opening night for the last one, but I feel the same way. - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 17, 09:37
- Colbert will make sure The Similarion gets made. - Ultron Dec 17, 09:34
- just enjoy the gift of 5-hour extended editions with the set featurettes. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 09:32 2
  - it will never be as good as the first time. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 17, 09:33 1
    - Just like the ladies. -- nm - budice Dec 17, 09:34
You know, Cuba gets a fascinating amount of attention on the world stage to have 11 million people. - David Dec 17, 09:31 6
- they do? :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Dec 17, 09:51
- Have the Dominicans ever produced one of the greatest sandwiches known to man? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 17, 09:39 2
  - After watching Chef, I need to learn how to make them! -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 09:40 1
    - They're really easy, and soooooo yummy. -- nm - prayformojo Dec 17, 09:48
- Because, commies! -- nm - znufrii, bachelor of science, cum laude Dec 17, 09:33 1

Dignan hasn't been around much if nobody mentioned him in the sex dungeon thread. -- nm - zork Dec 17, 09:30
I mean, if the US can have normalized relations with frickin Vietnam... -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:30
Marco Rubio's comments on Cuba are so stupid that I have no words. -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 09:29 17
- ? -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:34 16
  - Essentially "this will provide the economic lift to keep the Castros in control for generations to come." -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 09:37 15
    - A generational issue, but also seems like an East Coast vs. West Coast issue for me. Not having trade with a country so close by seems extremely dumb - con_carne Dec 17, 09:54
    - That's right, Marco. Where's your Citizens United god now?" -- nm - Max Dec 17, 09:46
    - I'm not sure why you'd think that's incredibly stupid. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:42 10
      - It's baffling that you think that this isn't the case elsewhere... -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 09:48 1
        
        You're confusing my pointing out he's probably right about what he said with "it should be our policy" - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:50
      - I just go back to my IM below. Why do we really care at this point. -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 09:46 5

        I have no basis for knowing how extensive they are though. I know many people who have travelled there and none who have remarked or noted obvious - pmb Dec 17, 09:58 2
        
        The abuses would be political prisoners and people disappearing. -- nm - spamlet Dec 17, 10:02 1
        
        Understood. But glass houses and all. Order of magnitude matters. We still have open relations with China. Is Cuba worse? -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 10:47
        
        Totally different conversation. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:47
      - As opposed to The embargo which really shut down the Castros. He's just pandering. -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 09:45 1
        
        We only gave it 50 years to work. We just need to be more committed to it. -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 09:48
    - He may be absolutely right. - pmb Dec 17, 09:40
    - See ?!?!?!??!! -- nm - spamlet Dec 17, 09:38

- Chris Marquette? - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:35 1
  - I can see this. Wouldn't be a bad choice at all. -- nm - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 17, 09:39
- I think Josh Hutchinson could be a good Peter. -- nm - Shaun Dec 17, 09:34
- Dave Franco -- nm - Max Dec 17, 09:34
- if Shia gets it, I'll personably kill the people involved in casting. if this were before last month, it could be Cumberbatch -- nm - zork Dec 17, 09:34 3
  - ooh! martin freeman! -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 09:34 2
    - Thomas Sangster! - ty97 Dec 17, 09:36 1
      - Yes, absolutely. That is 100% who they should cast. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 17, 09:39

- Maybe that Logan Lerman guy? -- nm - Ultron Dec 17, 09:30
- Donald Glover! -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:30
- I thought it might be Logan Lerman? I'm fine with him haha. -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 09:29 1
  - He seemed a bit lost for me in Fury. Very tough role, though -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 09:32
- They almost got it right last time with Logan Lerman. They'll clean up their mistake now. -- nm - David Dec 17, 09:29 5
  - Huh? -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 09:30 4
    - Huh what? -- nm - David Dec 17, 09:32 3
      - I'm not sure what you mean by clean it up now? Is he spidey or... -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 09:35 2
        
        He was a finalist last time (although Sony denied it at the end). He is expected to be announced any day. - David Dec 17, 09:36 1
        
        Oh got it. Thanks. I'm gonna need a lot of naked Spider-Man in the new one. -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 09:38
