- I had too much tv last night (Flash and 2 hour AoS) but will be on tonight. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:15 7
  - I desperately needed a third, because I was carrying a 27 through, and it was pretty much solo. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 07:17 3
    - Was the 27 at least well equipped? I ran my 29 warlock and I was doing significantly less damage with the same guns as my 32s -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:19 2
      - weapons, yes, armor, no. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 07:20 1

We got retweeted by Kylie today (which is nice) -- (link) - LMS May 13, 06:53 5
- I would have bet a lot of money that this tweet was by MDH. -- nm - ty97 May 13, 07:01 4
  - ***post, not tweet -- nm - ty97 May 13, 07:01 3
    - I don't have twitter. But I heart Kylie. -- nm - MDH May 13, 07:05 2
      - get in the back of line fanboy. -- nm - Remlik May 13, 07:26

ST needs more Vince McMahon gifs. -- (link) - Shaun May 13, 06:52
Saw my first movie in a theater in 2015. Home (A-). Better than some recent Pixar releases (Cars 2, Monsters U) -- nm - Strongbad May 13, 06:52 4
- You've missed out on a lot of great movies. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 06:53 3
  - Theaters are expensive. -- nm - Strongbad May 13, 07:01 2
    - I'll all about the Saturday matinee. Sometimes I even make the pre-noon show which is even cheaper. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 13, 07:05
    - The joke: You first sentence was constructed in a way that implied that 2015 was the first time you saw a movie in a theatre. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:03

CSI to end with two-hour movie event on September 27 -- (link) - ty97 May 13, 06:21 14
- Still never seen a single episode. -- nm - Strongbad May 13, 06:36 6
  - In the beginning, it was a revelation. If you check out one episode, check out "Blood Drops" in season 1 - amoxy May 13, 06:40
  - I think I am ST's resident fanboy of this show. It was fantastic, until Laurence Fishburne killed it. -- nm - MDH May 13, 06:38 4
    - We've stuck through with it. Fishburne's eps weren't great. I think the show peaked with the miniature killer and has been all downhill since. -- nm - Jim May 13, 06:41 3
      - yeah that was a great one -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:01
      - Although...I did enjoy Zach Morris last season. -- nm - Jim May 13, 06:41 1

- I would watch the final movie. I loved the show the first 3-4 seasons -- nm - amoxy May 13, 06:35
- They need a Horatio cameo. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 06:35 3
  - spoilers - amoxy May 13, 06:37 2
    - HAHAHA. -- nm - MDH May 13, 06:38 1
      - Wait - amoxy May 13, 06:42
- I'm very sad at this obviously, but I'll take the movie. The Danson moving to Cyber news is a shocker. The rumors of a complete reboot must be true. -- nm - MDH May 13, 06:34
- Gil Grissum wakes up in the shower. It was all a dream!! -- nm - Beaker May 13, 06:34
well this was stupid. Just signed up for IFTTT while at work. - prayformojo May 13, 06:19 7
- Can you explain what this is? I know Amazon Echo added this, but I don't get it. -- nm - JaxSean May 13, 07:03 3

I've never read the graphic novel, so this might be the edition I settle on for Batman: Arkham Knight. -- (link) - Shaun May 13, 05:51 [Image]
Huh. I had no idea that Andrew Cuomo and Sandra Lee were a thing - prayformojo May 13, 05:42 3
- I knew they were a thing but didn't know people knew who she was separately from that. -- nm - ty97 May 13, 05:49 2
  - I figured most people knew her from TV and not his bedroom. :-) - Krusty May 13, 06:31 1
    - I knew her first from her TV show, then from Bourdain's regular excoriating of her and then later realized she was with Cuomo. -- nm - Diva May 13, 06:33

    - I think I'll go for a walk. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 13, 05:55
Inside Out lives up to the Pixar brand in Cannes -- (link) - professor smartbrain May 12, 23:53 1
- Call me a cynic, but I read the "almost BP level good line" as "It's BP quality, but it's animated so I can't take it seriously." -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 13, 06:49
An audi ad that uses amazon delivery drones as the bad guy. Cute. -- nm - Beryllium May 12, 23:37

      - I know a few people that work for her, and she inspires this weird almost cultish loyalty. - mafic May 12, 23:29
    - It ain't *just* our hats that are hard -- nm - old miner May 12, 22:13
