    - yeah, but it is still a one game suspension, and everytime they do this shit, it risks another player's career. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 11:44

I sorta liked Annie (B). I can see the criticism but it didn't bother me much. Quvenzhane is super talented and ridiculously likeable. Rose Byrne was - prayformojo Dec 29, 11:15 6
- does anyone know why it seems like people were hating on this movie for a whole year? Mostly before they even saw it? -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 11:19 5
  - I would speculate on 3 possible reasons. First, did we really need Annie to be remade. Second, did we really need Annie to be remade with a black - pmb Dec 29, 11:29 3
    - Remaking Annie makes sense, as does freeing up the casting, but including Cameron Diaz in the mix does not make sense. -- nm - Max Dec 29, 11:47
    - I thought that was a vanity give my kid a big break in movies job for Will Smith's daughter -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 29, 11:43 1
      - Willow was too busy inventing time to do the film. -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 11:44
  - No idea at all. Also surprised it didn't open a little better - the trailers were pretty good and attached to just about every kids movie we saw in - prayformojo Dec 29, 11:26

- I've been guessing that would be the case. There's been a lot of pressure to hire a coach with actual experience and that has won in the past. Plus - pmb Dec 29, 11:24 3
  - since they never hire head coaches with head coach experience, I am skeptical. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 11:28 2
    - Given that they are married to Cutler, it makes a lot of sense. - David Dec 29, 11:30 1
      - which is reason #2 I am skeptical. - groiny Dec 29, 11:31

- I always liked the traffic stop light in the 2nd row and the one of Kieran standing on his toes - amoxy Dec 29, 10:42 3
  - :) I got a couple of great shots of kieran this weekend but they're destined for Facebook, not Flickr -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 10:44 2
    - oh, go crazy! put 'em on both!! -- nm - decline Dec 29, 10:48 1
      - There's one I've got on facebook of a kid (not Kieran) throwing rocks into the ocean - but I wouldn't put that on flickr without a parent's permission -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 11:07

Unopened Lego sets are the new uncut diamonds. -- (link) - Reagen Dec 29, 10:38 16
- dahm: They also discovered $200,000 in Lego merchandise—18 pallets’ worth—in one of the suspects’ homes and a storage facility. -- nm - Jovian Dec 29, 11:28
- I truly do not understand why they became so damn expensive. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 10:44 10
  - a baggie full of plastic parts weighs about the same as a baggie full of pot and costs about the same too -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 29, 11:15
  - Profit! -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 11:06 3
    - I just wonder how many more sets they would sell if they were 25% cheaper? - groiny Dec 29, 11:08 2
      - Now is a great time to buy sets at Target/WalMart/Meijer (but not Toys R Us) because they start clearancing some sets - TWuG Dec 29, 11:18 1
        
        Hard to find but well worth it. It's like finding treasure when you see them on sale. -- nm - Mop Dec 29, 11:35
  - Specialty parts. They aren't just variations on the rectangle anymore. - TWuG Dec 29, 10:52 4
    - yeah, I kinda wish they were still just the basic 10 or so blocks. - groiny Dec 29, 10:57 3
      - I love the complexity. I never could build Revel models because I was sloppy with the glue and can't paint at that detail level. - TWuG Dec 29, 11:04 2
        
        but lose one specialty piece and you are hosed. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 11:05 1

        Vamps participants under this model would be Strongbad, budice, Baron and Foley. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 29, 11:06 1
        
        Strongbad, Baron and Foley are in no matter what. It's Budice vs Samara for spot #4, based on criteria. - Strongbad Dec 29, 11:13
  - I thought we were finalists and then top 2 regular season people not qualified. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 10:15
- Wasn't there talk about the two finalists and the next two highest seeds? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 29, 10:11
Only in California? An open-air Frozen singalong in January...... -- (link) - Meg Dec 29, 09:41
Bears 2 best players on Defense likely done in Briggs and Tillman, Jared Allen is old, and Conte is like Lindros with concussions. - groiny Dec 29, 09:41 19
- [deleted] 13
  - That was all pre-Emery. I think he actually did a nice job drafting (at least the last 2 years). There's some quality guys in those last 2 drafts. -- nm - pmb Dec 29, 09:48 12
    - yeah, his issue was more the free agent signings, and killing himself with the Cutler contract. - groiny Dec 29, 09:50 10
      - It was dumb in that they could have franchised him, but I don't think it's far off where the market was for him a year ago when they signed him. He - pmb Dec 29, 09:53 9
        
        I would rather let someone else overpay for interceptions. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:55 8
        
        In hindsight yes, but at the time there were few people complaining about the deal. The only question was whether they should have franchised him for - pmb Dec 29, 10:00 7
        
        oh, I know. I have been defending Cutler for years. - groiny Dec 29, 10:03 6
        
        It was the guaranteed money that's the craziest part. He guaranteed salary for the next two years. No one does that in the NFL. - Inigo Dec 29, 10:05 5
        
        he is consistantly a middle of the pack QB with all kinds of talent and a 10 cent head. - groiny Dec 29, 10:06 4
        
        He's Flacco without the post-season success. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 10:07 3
        
        I wonder how Flacco's contract would be now if that Denver safety knew how to play safety. -- nm - Shaun Dec 29, 10:10 1
        
        Flacco is a huge what-if. He was a dropped TD and a shanked FG from back to back SB's - Will Hunting Dec 29, 10:11
        
        he's Flacco except he can't win against his closest divisional rival or in playoffs. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 10:09

- I actually think they could recover more quickly. Some of the young guys showed something. Fuller looks very good, Christian Jones is quickly - pmb Dec 29, 09:44 4
  - injuries because they are old. Briggs was out of shape and Tillman gets hurt every year. - groiny Dec 29, 09:47 3
    - I agree you need to turn over a number of guys, but that's not years of work. Even without Allen you've got Young and Houston (if he doesn't do - pmb Dec 29, 09:52
    - as an outsider who has no idea, if the D was that bad and Cutler was well, Cutler, why was the expectation so high? -- nm - Diva Dec 29, 09:51 1
      - the team was 2nd in scoring on offense last season, and they improved the defense (supposedly) - groiny Dec 29, 09:53
That was a great time for a roll. :/ -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 09:36 20
- agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 29, 10:24
- Anyway, more importantly: does claptrap do more in Borderlands than just yell "I'm dancin'!"? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 09:36 18
  - He drops a mad beat, but they may be in the second one. -- nm - Ultron Dec 29, 09:42
  - He's much more involved in BL2 and is actually playable in BL:TPS. -- nm - Shaun Dec 29, 09:38 15
    - I am so burned out on Borderlands though. - groiny Dec 29, 09:39 14
      - TPS was not even remotely on my radar. -- nm - Shaun Dec 29, 09:40 13
        
        It was the best of the three. -- nm - Ultron Dec 29, 09:43 3
        
        I'm about Level 16 in it; it's not as immersive for me; mainly because I get motion-sick from the graphics. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 29, 09:50
        
        wha???? -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:43 1

        I bought it on principal, but returned it unopened. - groiny Dec 29, 09:42 8
        
        I haven't opened it yet. But then, I haven't touched my Xbox in a few months. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 29, 10:24
        
        The Knoxx glitch was awesome, as was Crawmerax. I didn't nearly play BL2 as much, even though it was superior. - Shaun Dec 29, 09:48 6
        
        yeah, I just hit level 31 on my Hunter. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 09:51 5
        
        Nice! Have you hit up either raid yet? Any luck with the 1st chest in the Crota's End raid? -- nm - Shaun Dec 29, 09:53 4
        
        yeah, I got the chest once, and got Energy. - groiny Dec 29, 09:54 3
        
        I guess, if you don't plan on doing the CE raid since those materials are needed to upgrade the CE gear. -- nm - Shaun Dec 29, 09:55 2
        
        I have been doing all the missions the last few weeks. - groiny Dec 29, 09:56 1
        
        I've got a single Crota kill, and got the Hunger of Crota as a drop. I want more. -- nm - Shaun Dec 29, 09:58
