Can't objectively see the flaws in turning it into a movie.... The Last Five Years: A+++ -- nm - Dano Feb 13, 17:57
Anyone still watching The Mentalist? - major spoilers - Beaker Feb 13, 17:55 4
- That hack -- nm - Shawn Feb 13, 18:28
- Spoiler - - tobor.2 Feb 13, 17:59 2
  - yeah. spoiler . . . - call me Ishmael Feb 13, 18:15 1
    - I get that. - tobor.2 Feb 13, 18:39
I know I'm late, but NXT Arrival. (spoiler) - Qale Feb 13, 17:42 3
- I thought for a moment that they'd DQ'd Owens - Tim Feb 13, 18:08 2
  - The lack of commitment to a finish is frustrating in the WWE, I'd hate that it extends to NXT too now. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 18:15 1
    - I disagree there, that's a hell of a finish. -- nm - Tim Feb 13, 18:31
*crosses fingers* I'm hoping my son's lip doesn't need stitches. He's the only kid I've got still in mint condition. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 17:37 1

Albatri? -- (link) - tobor.2 Feb 13, 17:31
Having to take off the back cover of this New 3DS to get to the microSD card is unnerving. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 17:17 4
- Heard getting chargers for it is a pain -- nm - budice Feb 13, 17:20 3
  - It's a disappointment they didn't come with one, yeah. As for the screwdriver needed, the ones in eyeglasses repair kits work. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 17:27 2
    - That's insane. They don't want you to access the SD card? -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 17:36 1
      - I'm not sure. The back of the stylus is shaped to help pry the back off once you use the screwdriver. - Qale Feb 13, 17:41
So tired. Got decent sleep last night, though. -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 17:17
Holy. Shit. 1 dead 3 in custody in Halifax as police foil mass shooting planned for Valentine's Day -- (link) - Beaker Feb 13, 16:48 7
- What was the target? (My mom is flying out of Halifax airport in a few hours & is curious) -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 16:54 6
  - the updated story, sounds like they picked up a couple of them at the airport -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 17:06 3
    - Yeah, because one was arriving from Illinois. - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 17:13 2
      - "He didn't say what the beliefs were, other than that "they were not culturally based."" -- nm - tobor.2 Feb 13, 17:24 1
        
        So ... not an Illinois nazi? Hmm. -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 17:27
  - "public" -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 16:57
  - the story says that police won't disclose that. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 16:56
Our local AMC is treating 50 Shades like it is NC-17. Checking stubs and ID at the door. -- nm - droidlet Feb 13, 16:31 4
- Not suprising considering the pre-opening backlash from people who haven't seen it. -- nm - tobor.2 Feb 13, 16:52
- maybe they think people will sneak in because they're too ashamed to ask for/have tickets to it? (people are weird.) - b. Feb 13, 16:34 2
  - Kids want to sneak in. -- nm - Ultron Feb 13, 17:13 1
    - oh yah, that, too, obviously; but at least younger ones are easier to suss out without actual ticket checking. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 17:14

- Movie Board is saying only 75-85 4 day for 50 Shades -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 16:28 16
  - I expect they're not accounting for Valentine's Day. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 17:10
  - That's easily $30m low. But the talent on that other site has been so bad I don't doubt this is what they expect. -- nm - MDH Feb 13, 16:59 14
    - they're quoting variety and THR -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 17:00 13
      - I just went to see what others are saying, and I found something that made me have an I-am-a-bad-person thought. (share!) - b. Feb 13, 17:10 12
        
        Red! Red! Red! -- nm - budice Feb 13, 17:47
        
        "oh god oh god oh god oh god" -- nm - Max Feb 13, 17:40
        
        damn, girl -- nm - prayformojo Feb 13, 17:34
        
        Lol! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 17:32
        
        Ha! I'd post that on the other site, but it would cause... problems -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 17:26 1
        
        when you post there, add in people screaming Oh God!! a lot :) -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 13, 17:31
        
        I bow to the brilliant lady -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 13, 17:24
        
        au contraire, that's well played. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 17:22
        
        heh -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 17:17
        
        This is the best kind of b. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 17:16
        
        Hee :) -- nm - Meg Feb 13, 17:14 1
        
        aw, you guys! (different kind of passion, though, heh.) -- nm - b. Feb 13, 17:37
- some people get nervous about holding openers that big -- to me, that's always been the most fun. take your position; and, - b. Feb 13, 16:24 3
  - (heh, oops, I forgot it's not yet frozen.) -- nm - b. Feb 13, 16:32 2
    - I so miss Friday night halt. -- nm - Amanda Feb 13, 16:51 1
      - that change is one reason I stayed away from regular playing - multiple ways it was better, for me and in general. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 17:09
This is the first Pinterest board you'll actually want to follow. -- (link) - Mop Feb 13, 16:15 4

  - This. -- nm - Ender Feb 13, 17:59
- Yeah... no. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 13, 16:23
- eh. a lot of those are trying so very hard that it made me wince. it's like it took that suri cruise blog and ran with it, and ran and ran and ran. - b. Feb 13, 16:22
Ahh Gary Owens passed away -- (link) - amoxy Feb 13, 16:15 2

- "Beautiful downtown Burbank" -- nm - con_carne Feb 13, 16:28
I kind of wished I had one of those real life Japanese sex dolls so I could take it with me to a Fifty Shades of Grey screening. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 16:13 1
- the film is not worth spending 2 admissions :)) -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 13, 16:48
Working late because wine - znufrii Feb 13, 15:49 3
- Working late because that's the only way I actually get to take Monday off. -- nm - ty97 Feb 13, 16:23
- working late because... - Mel Profit Feb 13, 16:09
- Yes, wine can be expensive. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 16:03
Reserved Theater Update: 50 Shades has a floor of $100M. Kingsman large as well. I'm thinking $40M or so. Feel free to analyze my data... - MDH Feb 13, 15:30 1

Backstrom is not a good show. -- nm - TWuG Feb 13, 14:49 10
- I've been liking it. -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 15:35 2
  - (I don't disagree that it seems like a retread, but it's a retread with actors I like, so I'm on board) -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 15:36 1
    - this -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 16:17

    - Next you'll be calling The Mentalist a bad show! -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:14 4

      - What's that one about again? -- nm - Shawn Spencer Feb 13, 15:19 2
        
        Imagine Shawn from Pysch as a crime solver... -- nm - David Feb 13, 15:44 1

Is there a chance 50SHD could be the biggest adjust of all time? -- nm - Loyola Feb 13, 14:11 12
- There's a chance it's a short at this point. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 13, 14:57
- There's a chance, but odds are, it's price is already pretty high and it won't have the juice. - Will Hunting Feb 13, 14:15 2
  - Ok thanks I needed some math. -- nm - Loyola Feb 13, 14:27 1
    - Ehh, disregard my math anyhow, stupid non 2.7 adjust multiplier -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 14:30
- No. Or do you mean the biggest gap between current price and adjust price? - Roger More Feb 13, 14:12 7
  - From when it halts tomorrow. -- nm - Loyola Feb 13, 14:14 4
    - Agreed with the guys below; it's likely to not even be the biggest of 2015 which is insane. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 14:15
    - From the latest on the other site, looks like its priced about right. (On early #s though) -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 14:15 2
      - Yeah, I forgot about the 2.2 mult and the four day adjust this weekend. - spamlet Feb 13, 14:19 1
        
        Potentially, Kingsman could have a bigger adjust -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 14:23
  - Yeah, I doubt it even approaches American Sniper for the biggest gap in the past month. -- nm - spamlet Feb 13, 14:13 1
    - I agree. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 14:15
