Watched last weeks The Flash last week. Sparactus was *awesome* as Weather Wizard. - Jovian Mar 25, 08:02 1
- meant to say watched it last night. still a week behind. -- nm - Jovian Mar 25, 08:03
My body feels like I've been in a fight - con_carne Mar 25, 08:02

    - At $15M a year and age 30, I really doubt he's worth a second round pick. - David Mar 25, 08:02 5
      - [deleted]
      - I think anyone that trades for him is redoing the deal. Vikes are the only team paying him $15. -- nm - volnelk Mar 25, 08:05 3
        
        I'd be surprised if AP is willing to take significantly less money, which is Problem Number Two for the Vikes. -- nm - David Mar 25, 08:06 2

        Exactly. If you really feel like the Vikings did you wrong, there is a price for leaving. -- nm - volnelk Mar 25, 08:12
It took me an hour and a half to clean the downstairs. Not "everything" was cleaned or dusted but that's not bad at all. -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:52
Amazon has Boyhood movie rental for $1 if anyone's interested... -- (link) - budice Mar 25, 07:49 2
- As much as I dislike the idea of Birdman as Best Picture, I must admit that I've given virtually no thought to Boyhood recently. - David Mar 25, 07:51
- itunes does as well this week. -- nm - amanda Mar 25, 07:51
ST TV Poll: Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead? -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:48 46
- GOT by at least a million times. I hate TWD. -- nm - Kim Pine Mar 25, 08:01
- nah -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 07:59 1
  - Name. Taken. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:59
- GoT but this a hard decision -- nm - Epiphany Mar 25, 07:56
- oof, I am not sure. Probably TWD by a nose. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:56
- [deleted]
- TWD -- nm - Ultron Mar 25, 07:51
- Gun to the head? Have to with GoT.(then again, I'd go with GoT over any other show on television) -- nm - Jovian Mar 25, 07:50
- GoT -- nm - znufrii Mar 25, 07:50
- GOT a thousand times over. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:50
- GoT -- nm - prayformojo Mar 25, 07:50
- TWD. I've never seen GoT. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:49 32
  - I had to stop watching it because it was just too damn stupid silly -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:53
  - You should have this in your Vudu library, at least the first three seasons. - David Mar 25, 07:50 30
    - Ok, yeah, so my library doesn't have the first 3 seasons? What's a brutha gotta do to get those codes? -- nm - ???? Mar 25, 08:05
    - I'm just not sure I'll like it. I'm not a big fan of fantasy. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:53 25
      - That's completely understandable, but I would maintain that Walking Dead is fantasy, and lowest common denominator at that. - David Mar 25, 07:56 9
        
        You mention The West Wing just because you know it'll get me interested. You bastard! - Krusty Mar 25, 08:00 8
        
        Both shows are predicated upon the running of a kingdom and attempts to gain/sustain power. -- nm - David Mar 25, 08:01 2
        
        and don't get me wrong, GofT is probably #2 on my list of favorite shows. - groiny Mar 25, 08:05 1
        
        I do as well. That's what makes TWD so frustrating. - David Mar 25, 08:08
        
        I love GofT, but I am more invested in TWD. - groiny Mar 25, 08:01 4
        
        The only real character on TWD is Carole. - David Mar 25, 08:03 3
        
        how can you not say Rick???? -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 08:04 2
        
        He's the specific reason the show fails for me. - David Mar 25, 08:05 1
        
        so, to you, he is not perfect? -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 08:06
      - It's like Willow trying to be serious. Effin stoopid -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:56 2
        
        Oof. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 08:03 1
        
        that was kind of harsh :) -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 08:05
      - Overall, calling GoT 'fantasy' is a bit of a stretch. I get that it is, but if you like sword and shield stuff, you should like it. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:55 1
        
        I can take it or leave the sword and shield stories. I don't usually go for them but there's so much love for this show it's hard to ignore. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 08:01
      - It definitely goes well beyond the fantasy genre...and the more fantastical elements really don't come into play until later. - prayformojo Mar 25, 07:55 8
        
        With one exception, which is that the show starts with a mystical creature. - David Mar 25, 07:57 7
        
        what season was the spoils..... - groiny Mar 25, 07:57 6
        
        That's when I stopped watching. -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:59 4
        
        it was a moment when I considered it as well. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:59
        
        I actually agree that the sequence is disruptive, but it was a one-off thing. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:59 2
        
        I think you may be spot on with the character development. I mean, it has good story lines, but it's just not my cup of tea. -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 08:03 1
        
        I really get that. Kim quit after a few episodes, and I had to beg her to try it again. - David Mar 25, 08:04
        
        2. That's the next one that I can recall. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:58
      - You won't like it. You will *love* it. -- nm - Jovian Mar 25, 07:55
    - He has Seasons 1-4. I haven't gotten around to watching them either. -- nm - spamlet Mar 25, 07:51 2
      - That's it. I'm taking names. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:58 1
        
        I watch like maybe 3 hours of tv per week. We're a season and a half behind on *Parenthood* for crying out loud. - spamlet Mar 25, 08:08
- TWD. -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:49
- GOT. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:48
Darth Vader #3 which is out today is already $15 for regular cover and $90 for the Variant. many stores received damaged copies -- nm - Remlik Mar 25, 07:31 2
- Speaking of Vader... -- (link) - budice Mar 25, 07:40 1
  - these aren't the cookies you're looking for... -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 07:44
Remlik news: Gencon (sp?), a $50M convention, has threatened to leave Indian if Pence signs the bill. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 07:27 3
- yeah I posted that yesterday. They're locked in till 2020. they won't renew for that AND the fact they want a place - Remlik Mar 25, 07:49 1
  - I was shocked when I saw the list of cities that already have the law. Chicago? Come on. -- nm - Ultron Mar 25, 07:55
- I'm so old that I thought they still did Gen Con in Wisconsin. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Mar 25, 07:44
Flash spoilers - Beaker Mar 25, 07:26 1
- Still annoyed with the episode. spoil - Ultron Mar 25, 07:53
HBO has announced that it has cancelled the awful show "Looking." (will wrap up with a TV movie) -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 07:26 5
- I tried real hard to like it - it just didn't have the heart that GAF did - and I didn't care about the characters - Epiphany Mar 25, 07:29 3
  - While QAF had a lot of unrealistic things happen, the characters in Looking are insufferable, and so fake you can't even watch it. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 07:30
  - Queer as Folk is now Gay as F*ck - Epiphany Mar 25, 07:29 1
    - I love that. -- nm - Diva Mar 25, 08:23
- Did we ever discuss the show Togetherness here? I really liked it. -- nm - pmb Mar 25, 07:27
I'm squatting in vacant office 311B 329. this place is *luxe.* I have a 30-inch widescreen and a 27-inch monitor. it's better than my office! - amanda Mar 25, 07:22 2
- score! -- nm - budice Mar 25, 07:30
- heh, first thing I thought of from this post was the Seinfeld episode when they were trying to get rid of George - Beaker Mar 25, 07:24
new PS$ update tomorrow. Finally getting Suspense/Resume and a few other things -- (link) - decline Mar 25, 07:19 2
- Suspend/resume is going to excellent. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:20
- ack PS4! -- nm - decline Mar 25, 07:19
i have passes to see Get Hard tonight, i honestly can't decide if it's worth going. -- nm - Andie Mar 25, 07:17 15
- It's one of those movies I'd probably go see for free but I'm not interested enough to pay to see it. -- nm - spamlet Mar 25, 07:52
- It looks so stupid funny, you have to go. I actually want to see it -- nm - CQ Mar 25, 07:50
- this is the first Ferrell movie that looks like an outright bomb. - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:22 11
  - 100%. But Hart may end up negating the bomb. But not for me. -- nm - Ultron Mar 25, 07:54
  - This is the first Ferrell movie in years that doesn't look like complete shit. -- nm - ty97 Mar 25, 07:49
  - The regular trailer and commercials do nothing for me, but the the red band trailer KILLS me. -- nm - volnelk Mar 25, 07:31
  - I think it looks funny, but I still really like Will Ferrell. They aren't all winners for sure, but they pretty much always have great moments. -- nm - pmb Mar 25, 07:29 1
    - this is where I am with his stuff. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:32
  - This. -- nm - MDH Mar 25, 07:25
  - I think it looks pretty funny....better than most of his later run of Land of the Lost, Screaming and Kicking and SemiPro. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:23 2
    - Semi-Pro might be his most frustrating movie. A subject ripe for parody and it never quite comes together. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Mar 25, 07:42
    - there's a 2nd trailer that is night and day funnier but I see it rarely. The French Gang joke is awful. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:25
  - Kevin Hart's popularity might save it though. Plus my TV has been blanketed with commercials for it -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 07:22 1
    - agreed. there are so many commercials that it even managed to get through our DVR watching. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 25, 07:26
- oh you have to go. let us know how it is. we play the HSX again now, andrea! it's your duty! -- nm - amanda Mar 25, 07:21
damn Destiny Nightfall...... - groiny Mar 25, 07:12 20
- Does the helmet have a better roll? If not, yay exotic shard! -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:13 19
  - and it is the Knucklehead Radar one, so the one I use the least. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:16 7
    - Meh, it's expendable. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:21 6
      - yeah, that is what I figured. -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:22 5
        
        I have one and it just sits there. There's zero reason to use it. I should just dismantle it. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:30 4
        
        I bought it from Xur, for some reason, I have no idea what. - groiny Mar 25, 07:31 3
        
        If you are a huge PvPer, the constant radar for primaries is nice, but the Symbiote is still superior imo. MotTM for Bladedancers is also better. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:33 2
        
        I use the Lucky Raspberry chest for PvP, the spawning with a grenade is fantastic. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:34 1
        
        Tripmines are the best. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:56
  - it is 10 points better than what I have. - groiny Mar 25, 07:15
  - If exotic shards aren't useful in House of Wolves, I have 25 nothings in my bank. -- nm - David Mar 25, 07:14 9
    - I have a feeling that they are going to make the exotic upgrade process much more user-friendly for HoW. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:21 8
      - the exotic upgrade process is not the problem, it is leveling up the raid shit that is. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:23 7
        
        I'm not sure I follow here and the current exotic upgrade process is a huge pita. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 07:24 6
        
        I can easily get an exotic shard, what I can't get, is dozens of Radiant Shards and Energy. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 25, 07:26 5
        
        Yup. I need something like 33 of one thing right now. -- nm - Ultron Mar 25, 07:57 1
        
        getting Eris to the point where you can exchange one for the other is nice. - groiny Mar 25, 08:02
        
        I definitely do think that the number of mats could be bumped a bit. Getting 3 mats for a HM checkpoint is pretty low. - Shaun Mar 25, 07:28 2
        
        point is, I can buy an exotic shard frm Xur once a week. - groiny Mar 25, 07:30 1
        
        I hear you. I'm pushing 400 AS iirc, and they have zero use. I imagine they'll be useful for some of the HoW stuff. - Shaun Mar 25, 07:32
Damn it! It appears to be official, Clarkson out and Top Gear is no more - Krusty Mar 25, 07:08 16
- *shrug* - znufrii Mar 25, 07:21
- He put the guy in hospital, and then the producer got death threats from 'fans' even though he never reported the incident, Clarkson reported it. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:18 7
  - The producer seemed to blow it off like it wasn't a big deal at all and had tweeted that he never said anything, someone else did. I don't get blaming - Krusty Mar 25, 07:24 4
    - The show hasn't been axed. Have I Got News lost it's 'irreplaceable' host and it's still going 10 years after that. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:31 3
      - I don't know that show to compare them. My feeling is it's done. Without those three I have no interest. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. - Krusty Mar 25, 07:38 2
        
        Only one of them has been fired though. HIGNFY survived 10 years by having a different host every week. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:45 1
        
        I think there's no way Hammond and May stay with the show without Jeremy. I just don't see it. Sure, he ruined it all with this awful actions but - Krusty Mar 25, 07:52
  - Although reading the details 'hospital' was a visit to A&E, rather than being admitted. -- nm - LMS Mar 25, 07:23 1
    - Right. It was a quick check and he was released. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:25
- If he put his hands on an employee, I'm mad at him. That's a fireable offense in just about everything. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:08 6
  - Yup. No excuse for that at all. He just cost a whole crew and both fellow presenters their jobs. - TWuG Mar 25, 07:10
  - I agree but I was hoping they could find a way to punish him without losing the show. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:10 4
    - If his compatriots wanna walk over him assaulting someone, fine. Top Gear might suffer, but I'd argue that brand is stronger than - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:17 3
      - The show is done. The brand is huge but it's worthless without those three. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:19 2
        
        I ain't reading where the show is done from that; just that the dick lost his job. - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:23 1
        
        Lots of assholes are entertaining. He is the show. There's no show without him. They can try other hosts but it will never be close to the same. - Krusty Mar 25, 07:28
In finally looking at PFM's kitchen, that's a fairly amazing overhaul. - David Mar 25, 06:59 2
- Thanks. I'm sort of surprised at how well all of our choices worked so well together. - prayformojo Mar 25, 07:05 1
  - It looks amazing. Kelly was jealous. Therefore, I must file a greivance with you. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:08
I wonder now, when Lesnar re-signed with WWE. If it was before the show or even during, it might have led to the complete neutering of Roman Reigns - Will Hunting Mar 25, 06:59 2
- That makes sense, because the ending was awful otherwise. - Tim Mar 25, 07:13 1
  - I wonder about the line about the wife and kids....Whatever Heyman is getting paid, it's not enough. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 07:19
If you have a merciless earworm of Hard Knock Life from Annie (2014) today, - prayformojo Mar 25, 06:58 4
- *perscribes Austin Powers 3's version as the antidote* -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 07:10
- Dark Lord funk you up. -- nm - Spawndroid Mar 25, 07:03 1
  - The whole thing is brilliant, but I bust out laughing every time the horns kick in with the film's score. - TWuG Mar 25, 07:11
- I prefer the Dr. Evil version. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Mar 25, 07:02
Some sneakers don't age well. My stockpile of Jordan's will now be getting worn on the regular. -- (link) - Krusty Mar 25, 06:52 2
- sell them to Chumley. -- nm - Beaker Mar 25, 06:59 1
  - It's where he's a Viking. The boy does love his kicks. -- nm - Krusty Mar 25, 07:02
Kraft Dinner: instead of milk use a can of cream of chicken soup (and a little milk). Like a mini-caserole and sooooo yummy. - Beaker Mar 25, 06:41 3
- You could buy the powder and use your own better pasta. I started dumping out their pasta and using elbows. - Krusty Mar 25, 06:47
- I'll use coffee cream (18%) if I'm feeling a need for extra creamy cheese. -- nm - Shaun Mar 25, 06:42 1
  - condensed milk, unsweetened of course -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the dark galaxy Mar 25, 13:49
Destiny: Nightfall results: 2 exotic shards and 9 strange coins. - Shaun Mar 25, 06:40
SHIELD spoilers - Beaker Mar 25, 06:39
Flavorize, I did watch "Parallels" a couple of days ago. I liked the concept better than the actual movie -- nm - amoxy Mar 25, 06:39
But what Bradley Cooper really wants to do is....... -- (link) - ty97 Mar 25, 06:34 2
- I think he can look the part but can he sing? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 25, 06:58
- Oof, that would explain the $800k loss I had yesterday. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 25, 06:54
[deleted] 1
- What, did Jupiter annihilate Minnesota this morning? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 25, 06:45
