        This is interesting. If you sort based on "actual", you get different results from "points". -- nm - David Dec 23, 12:20 3

        It was good. I liked Funny or Die's a little better. - spamlet, Astro king Dec 23, 12:19
        
        Yeah, really well done. And the Hobbit/Office short the week before was arguably the best ever. nm - Dignan Dec 23, 11:55

        mmm...Avanti's. -- nm - spamlet, Astro king Dec 23, 12:24
        
        That is a bad husband right there, since she just said she wanted to mute it the first time. -- nm - Ultron Dec 23, 12:11 1
        
        Kim, what type of husband am I? -- nm - David Dec 23, 12:21

        Cell phone tower pings provide a chronology that conflicts with testimony, so the Serial producers tried to drive around and mimic the chronology. - Max Dec 23, 11:42 6
        
        i don't know if you could get the same feeling on paper, i liked that they did the drive. -- nm - Andie Dec 23, 11:49 4
        
        The first drive was valuable: can you get from point A to B in X minutes. - Max Dec 23, 11:54 1

Meh on that tour tempo thing...I've found simply that what works and works extremely well for me is a tempo that is entirely my own. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:41 3
- I play off 7. Trust me. You want tourtempo. -- nm - Loyola Dec 23, 10:43 2
  - I want more practice...that's the root of my issue. - Will Hunting Dec 23, 10:52 1
    - Tourtempo slows down your backswing. Other than that, for your next round, don't use anything less than a 7 iron for shots less than 75 yards in. - Loyola Dec 23, 11:40

    - did set up script blocking? a lot of sites won't load unless you accept all kinds of scripts, usually their own but often you must take on advertisers -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 23, 10:58 1
      - It must have set itself up for me. -- nm - Loyola Dec 23, 11:45
    - Do what I did: buy a Mac -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:55 1

I like how Sony thinks this will make people hear of Crackle. -- nm - spamlet, Astro king Dec 23, 10:30 7
- Link? From what I see, the Interview/Crackle release thing got little farther than a poorly sourced NY Post blurb -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 10:33 3
  - The link on B2 mentions them "strongly denying" Crackle as an option. - spamlet, Astro king Dec 23, 10:43 1
    - Your IM: Ah I'm not seeing it, it must be somewhere in that pay wall blocked WSJ article, maybe? -- nm - con_carne Dec 23, 11:26
  - Thewrap is saying that Sony will release it on VOD and theatres, but didn't use the name Crackle. -- (link) - Inigo Dec 23, 10:39
- [deleted] 2
  - I was upset by Sony's remark on this, but I'm reminded that Crackle is free and Sony wanted to use a *pay* service (Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, etc.) -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 10:50 1
    - Wow, trying to make money on someone else's misfortune. - CrankYanker Dec 23, 11:07

  - He's 4 and a half, and in Canada it's rated G, so I'm assuming it's OK. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:20 6
    - It will be awesome. Picked up a Baymax for Logan's stocking last night. - Ultron Dec 23, 11:25
    - Should be fine. You might get a little choked up but he'll be there to tell you it's OK. -- nm - Good Baron Wenceslas Dec 23, 10:52
    - That'd be cool for him. I'd take Pinch if I could -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 23, 10:30
