Can Drake Save Next-Gen? -- (link) - Shaun May 12, 09:21 4
- Probably not, he's a rapper, not an actor, and TNG's been off the air for over 20 years... -- nm - Ender May 12, 09:33 3
  - Considering that he *is* an actor, and he started on a show called Degrassi the Next Generation ... -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 09:59 1
    - and now I see what the original link is about, I'm actually kind of wondering if Drake could play Nathan Drake. - Beryllium May 12, 10:00

Wow. This is the quickest I've ever seen a cop back down. Pretty sure it was only because he was being filmed but still it's surprising. -- (link) - Krusty May 12, 09:02 [youtube] 18
- The people who run around filming every police stop they see tend to run about 90% douchebag, right? -- nm - Ender May 12, 09:36 11
  - You're thinking of the "AM I BEING DETAINED?" people -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 09:57 1
    - And the ones who manage to interject themselves into other's detentions. -- nm - Ender May 12, 10:01
  - [deleted] 8
    - You're right. I should probably slip a "to protect people's 'freedoms'" in there. -- nm - Ender May 12, 10:02
    - Pretty much. People are quick to pull out their phone to document every little thing, they're definitely going to do it when they see cops stopping - Krusty May 12, 09:55

Man, ESPN is seriously messing with my world. First Simmons is nonrenewed, then they renew Van Pelt and as a result, he's off the radio show. - volnelk May 12, 09:00 7
- Yet Colin Cowherd still has a job!?! They need to get rid of the right people. -- nm - Krusty May 12, 09:04 6

  - You misspelled Don Le Batard. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 09:08 3
    - There's a long list of people that should be home writing a blog no one reads instead of on the air. -- nm - Krusty May 12, 09:11 2
      - Yeah, but at least Cowherd sticks with sports. Every time I try DL, he is talking about the most ridiculous non-sports stuff. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 09:13 1
        
        I don't get him here too often. I will count myself lucky. Afternoons is all Michael Kay and it's too much. I'll go to WFAN often. - Krusty May 12, 09:17

- I will let my child do all the stuff they mention in there but I will not leave her in the car until shes at least five.... - Walt_Disney May 12, 09:03 3
  - I think the mom probably has to deal with the issue where daycare costs for her child either exceeds or equals her daily pay. -- nm - Inigo May 12, 09:19
  - heh. On occasion I leave Logan (8 yo) in the car for those two minute trips. He lays down in the back and hides. - Spawn May 12, 09:06 1
    - See but hes eight.....by then thats okay...but the story was about a toddler and a 10 minute party store trip.... - Walt_Disney May 12, 09:12
- I remember going on a trip to MTL with my Dad, his friend and his son. Dad had a capped Sierra... - Shaun May 12, 09:01 1

I can understand MM:FR not being your cuppa tea, but the last word I would use to describe it is "generic". -- nm - Reagen May 12, 08:21 26
- I see cars racing, I see explosions, I see guns. - Will Hunting May 12, 08:28 23
  - to me, given the glowing reviews, if this were true, someone would have said so in a review -- nm - Beaker May 12, 09:48
  - you've seen...(commercial spoilers) - Mel Profit May 12, 09:04 1
    - Crue have a flame thrower bass on this tour (Remlik and I got to touch it)! Rip off. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 09:54
  - Maybe if I cared about Mad Max as a character, even a little, I'd be more interested. But I don't. - Jim May 12, 08:37
  - I would say if you're expecting pitch perfect 2 to be anything but generic, you're going to be disappointed. -- nm - Loyola May 12, 08:33 3
    - wh has said time and time again that he thinks PP2 looks terrible. -- nm - Diva May 12, 08:41 2
      - I just want him see mad max because I think there's a good chance he'll love it! - Loyola May 12, 08:49 1
        
        I'm looking forward to both movies irrespective of each other. I guess some folks aren't interested in either the same way. -- nm - Diva May 12, 08:58
  - IT's basically just Waterworld in the desert, right? -- nm - Ender May 12, 08:31
  - "This, I feel like I've seen it all before in some form. Thus, generic to me." That describes every movie made in the last ten years. -- nm - Skags May 12, 08:30 4
    - Almost every movie has been done...it's the characters and writing that sells the quality. MM:FR has offered nothing - Will Hunting May 12, 08:43
    - Inception! -- nm - Shaun May 12, 08:36 2

        Babe 2 is the best sequel ever made. I'm 100% serious. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 08:41 4
        
        TESB laughs at this. -- nm - Spawn May 12, 08:43 3
        
        and then it watches Babe 2 and apologizes in tears. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 08:44 1
        
        Babe 2 was not even as good as Babe the Pig. - Spawn May 12, 08:50

Not knowing anything about the first one, all the PP2 commercials make me wonder if it is a bad comedy movie or a bad parody movie. -- nm - zork May 12, 08:18 18
- I know nothing about the first but assumed that it was basically Glee: The Movie so didn't bother even watching a trailer. -- nm - Krusty May 12, 08:21 17
  - It's more The Sing Off: The Movie than Glee. It's not like they break into song in the school halls. - Jim May 12, 08:39 10
    - Is it a musical or just a movie with a few songs in it. Ya know? -- nm - Krusty May 12, 08:42 8
      - It's a movie about competitive acapella. They sing in practice and in competition. That's about it. - Will Hunting May 12, 08:45 7
        
        Got it. Thanks! -- nm - Krusty May 12, 08:48 2
        
        (I couldn't finish it.) - JaxSean May 12, 09:00 1
        
        Needed more Lisa Loeb. -- nm - JacksShawn May 12, 09:10
        
        Word. Think more Step Up with acapella and less Oklahoma. -- nm - Jim May 12, 08:46 1
        
        Haha! -- nm - Krusty May 12, 08:48
        
        Plus it's got Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow as a ginger, so you'll at least have that going for you. -- nm - spamlet May 12, 08:46 1
        
        I wonder if Legs is back. -- nm - Will Hunting May 12, 08:46
    - Did not know that. So not quite as bad, then. - Spawn May 12, 08:40
  - You really should watch it. It's very well done and very funny. - spamlet May 12, 08:33 4
    - Is it a musical? -- nm - Krusty May 12, 08:35 3
      - Sort of. There are performances of the songs but not really a musical per se. - spamlet May 12, 08:43 2
        
        Good to know, thanks! I might check it out this week. I have a four day weekend coming up. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 12, 08:48 1
        
        jealous -- nm - Diva May 12, 09:00
  - This second one looks like a comedy of some kind but I'm with you, not sure if it's parody or not. -- nm - Krusty May 12, 08:21
