- Wow. Difficult name? -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 09:03 2
  - no, not at all. it's four letters, and well known. they replaced an "I" with a "Y". They made it was less standard. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 09:04 1
    - (way) -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 09:04
Woody is seriously a psychotic jerk in the first Toy Story. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 08:46 9

  - DTM. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 08:52
- that character is a big part of the reason I don't like the that movie nearly as much as some people seem to. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 08:50 2
  - i liked 2 better. -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 08:53 1
    - Yeah, but the Jesse scene really rips your heart out and then stomps on it. -- nm - Mop Jan 27, 09:19

  - well, she would not be totally white then, which Kata Mara is certainly all white -- nm - groiny Jan 27, 08:42 8
    - no, i mean it could be easily explained - white mom, and white dad for her, and white mom and black dad for him (or whatever). -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 08:42 7
      - I suppose, I would rather they did not alter something like that in the movie. -- nm - groiny Jan 27, 08:44 5
        
        you're making an issue out of nothing.... - Remlik Jan 27, 08:48 4
        
        I dunno, I kind of always thought the relationship between the Storms was a key part of the story. - groiny Jan 27, 08:50 3
        
        but if they consider themselves brother and sister percentages don't mean a thing. -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 08:51 2
        
        but I get what you are saying -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 08:51 1
        
        which is why I said it would make more sense to make Grimm be the big race change. - groiny Jan 27, 08:55
      - (note, i am just talking generalities, i don't know specific of the characters). -- nm - Andie Jan 27, 08:43

      - #6 -- nm - Loyola Jan 27, 08:40 4
        
        Orlando = MCO because of course it does (but I don't think it's on the list) -- nm - ty97 Jan 27, 08:41 3
        
        They should just change it to WDW -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 08:42 2
        
        :) -- nm - Loyola Jan 27, 08:46
        
        Heh. It's very rare for call letters to change thus why the former Orchard Field (ORD) is O'Hare and the former McCoy Field (MCO) is Orlando - ty97 Jan 27, 08:43
- Today? -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 08:38
According to the Weather Network's definition, that would not be a blizzard in Canada because it wasn't cold enough - zork Jan 27, 08:37 1

- Well, then make it stop! That's gross. -- nm - Mop Jan 27, 08:24
I hate snow and probably always will, but man, watching my kid have a *blast* playing in the snow makes me not hate it as much. -- nm - kelly Jan 27, 08:13 1
- Watching Pepper run through it is hilarious and both of them love to eat it. -- nm - zork Jan 27, 08:16
not for nothing but a tonton just galloped across our yard... -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 27, 08:13 9
- It's spelled "Taunton". -- nm - Mop Jan 27, 08:22 4

      - or Taunton Rd. running through Oshawa, Whitby, Ajax. -- nm - zork Jan 27, 08:39 1
        
        ignore them mel, they are just taunting you -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 27, 14:51

  - I know it's silly but I instantly disliked the guy from Divergent -- nm - oblique Jan 27, 08:24 10
    - lol. Divergent was so forgettable I did not recognize him. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 08:29 9
      - It bums me out that he's the "guy from Divergent" instead of Miles Teller, the awesome actor from Whiplash and The Spectacular Now. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 27, 08:34 4
        
        To be fair, I think of him as "Miles Teller, probable douchebag". -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 08:51
        
        21 & Over / That Awkward Moment is how I think of him. And I haven't even seen those movies. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 08:40 1
        
        But you should. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 27, 08:41

      - since you didn't see it how would you know who that guy is? -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 08:32 3
        
        Oh wait, I am thinking of Maze Runner. - Ultron Jan 27, 08:37 2
        
        you didn't see that either! -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 08:49 1

    - "We're an entirely different crapfest!!!" -- nm - Ender Jan 27, 08:54
- I *so* want this to be good, but trying not to get hopes up due to ongoing news. - Ultron Jan 27, 10:27 (0) -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 08:13 9
  - FWIW,, I like the look of the Thing. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 27, 08:18 8
    - yeah the trailer looks solid. -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 08:32 4
      - this is where i start to wonder if you are going crazy. that trailer looked average, and it was trying to - Truman Jan 27, 08:43 3
        
        solid means, to me, that I want to see more. It didn't turn me off at all. It's very Ultimate FF. So it's a good first look... - Remlik Jan 27, 08:50
        
        "Solid" does not mean great. Just a foundation. They did not shoot themselves in the foot. -- nm - Ultron Jan 27, 08:44 1
        
        yeah. I want to see more. but a good first impression, if overly serious of course -- nm - Remlik Jan 27, 08:54
    - ... can not tell if you are playing along, or not. -- nmbg - Ultron Jan 27, 08:20 2
      - nope, did not see that one B2, but yeah. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 27, 08:21 1
