Hey, if I can ask you all a favor, can you throw your eyeballs at this video that I put together for work, and tell me what you think? - IrishStephen May 13, 08:54 [youtube] 12
- For the feeling you're trying to achieve with the video, I think you would be better off with simple cross dissolve rather than the jerky transition - Guigue May 13, 09:22
- I like it, I would probably use more photos in the beginning. - groiny May 13, 09:02 4

  - this -- nm - Spawn May 13, 09:10
- The "Reducing the number of orphaned..." text goes a bit too close to the edge. - Spawn May 13, 08:56 1
  - (tiny quibble, though). I like it. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:58

- The Road Warrior is 100% fresh. Mad Max is 88%. Beyond Thunderdome is 82%. - Inigo May 13, 08:34
- my issues here (and I think I may sell and not play) is 1) R rating. 2) it skews older dude. -- nm - amanda May 13, 08:23 21
  - #2 is the biggest potential hurdle. Can it attract the youth segment? -- nm - ty97 May 13, 08:24 20
    - is it *sexy*? a thing I've heard about the FF films now is that these people are familiar, they're our families. it's not just the stunts. - amanda May 13, 08:27
    - I hadn't seen the first 3 (until 2 days ago), and it still got me really excited to see it -- nm - Guigue May 13, 08:26
    - youth that played the hell out of a Borderlands video game about the post apocolyptic world? - groiny May 13, 08:25 17
      - If I was a 21 year old dude, I'd be pretty stoked for an R-rated critically reviewed action flick. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:27 3
        
        For playing the stock, my concern is that most people won't hear about the good reviews in - Loyola May 13, 08:48
        
        Plus you got the Mad Max video game at the end of summer - eag May 13, 08:35
        
        acclaimed...whetever. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:28
      - This is what I'm thinking -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 08:27 12
        
        throw a Claptrap running across the road and it would be perfect! -- nm - groiny May 13, 08:28 11
        
        It should probably start with a skag getting splattered. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 08:32
        
        Don't forget the midget bandits!! -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:28 9
        
        I fully expect a Borderlands movie at some point if this does as well as I expect. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 08:29 8
        
        Like this! -- (link) - Spawn May 13, 08:48 [Image] 3

        "So, the slutty bartender is also a slutty mechanic." -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 09:00
        
        In other words, we could make a Mad Max movie that Hunting would go see. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:59
        
        Mmmm...Lilith. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:40 2

  - Interesting. -- nm - LMS May 13, 08:41
Tomorrowland, Call/Put/OW - $55 strike. Poltergeist - $35. I sort of had no idea Poltergeist was next weekend.... - Andie May 13, 08:14 3
- I think I'd long the warrant and call on tomorrowland, but not play the put. poltergeist short warrant and call, long put. -- nm - amanda May 13, 08:24
- Same. I'm shocked by 35. I think Tomorrowland does 65-70 -- nm - ty97 May 13, 08:16 1
  - not even close -- nm - professor smartbrain May 13, 09:14
PSA: Mo Rocca on Jeopardy! tonight. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 13, 08:01

Question: Should Avengers: AoU be seen before finishing up AoS? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:46 7
- There's one Crowning Moment of Awesome that would be ruined but the plots aren't super intertwined. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 07:49 6
  - Fair enough. We're going tomorrow night, so we can hold off. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:51 5
    - Have you seen up to the episode before the movie came out? -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 07:59 2
      - Yeah. We have last week's and last night's finale left. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:59 1
        
        Ah, I'd hold off then too. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 08:00
    - It is *nothing* like last time. The show is almost unchanged by the movie. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:53 1
      - Disturbingly so, I felt, but I guess there are reasons for that. It does kind of spoil the movie a tiny bit though. Spoils - Beryllium May 13, 07:55
the thing that gets me about the Picth Perfect 2 commercials is - spoils I guess - Beaker May 13, 07:39 13
- Since you people seem to like this girl... -- (link) - Spawn May 13, 07:52 5
  - I had not seen that Fallon bit before. That's inspired. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 13, 08:11
  - I *totally* don't see why people would like a woman that's beautiful, funny, and smart. - spamlet May 13, 08:03 3
    - She is sorta all three of those. - Spawn May 13, 08:04 2
      - But nobody ever hits on her!! -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:07 1
        
        she has never met me. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 08:21
- The one commercial I saw had fat Amy crashing down a flight of stairs. Like wtf is this garbage? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:40 6
  - Crushed it. -- nm - Jim May 13, 07:43 5
    - But enough of these fat jokes. - Spawn May 13, 07:44 4
      - Actually, I don't think it was popular. Til it hit DVD. It is really funny. You might, dare I say, like it... - Jim May 13, 07:49 3
        
        I think it will the Despicable Me 2: Good but ultimately forgettable -- nm - oblique May 13, 07:51
        
        yeah, I had zero interest in the first, and I now have seen it 3 times. - groiny May 13, 07:50 1
        
        It's probably one of my top 5 re-watchable movies. - Will Hunting May 13, 07:51
I think that Emily VanCamp is completely unable to relax her facial muscles - prayformojo May 13, 07:37 1
- don't be too hard on her. she was just seeking revenge a couple of seasons too long, that's all. -- nm - call me Ishmael May 13, 07:43
ok, from the backboards, missing National Limmerick Day . . . - call me Ishmael May 13, 07:36
Is anyone watching American Crime. Hulu keeps putting ads up for it when I launch the app. Worth watching? -- nm - sycor May 13, 07:35 3
- It should not have been renewed. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:35 2
  - wait. it was renewed? I love shows like that and even I thought it was crap. -- nm - amanda May 13, 08:34
  - Ok I'll skip this one then. -- nm - sycor May 13, 08:12
Rumours are swirling that Kim Jong Un had North Korea's Defense Minister executed for falling alseep in a meeting -- (link) - Beaker May 13, 07:29 13
- I wonder how much of this is true vs propaganda. Wasn't the "uncle fed to dogs" think sorta debunked? -- nm - ty97 May 13, 08:18 2
  - Right. A lot of this is a mix of "ooh, look how scary we are" + "don't even think of stepping out of line, lowly citizens" -- nm - Reagen May 13, 08:21 1
    - The anti-airtcraft gun stuff seems to be backed up by sat photos - TWuG May 13, 08:26
- I'd put money on Un getting offed sooner rather than later. The kid is completely psycho. -- nm - TWuG May 13, 07:37 5
  - holy hell. "Executed by anti-aircraft guns?" -- nm - prayformojo May 13, 07:41 4
    - He's like Letterman back in the days when he used to drop things off the roof. He just wants to see what's going to happen at this point. -- nm - pmb May 13, 08:24
    - [deleted]
    - If you're going to do that you'd better at least send the guy up on a weather baloon... -- nm - Ender May 13, 07:45
    - It's like the scene from the Jackal where Willis tests the gun on Jack Black. -- nm - Will Hunting May 13, 07:44
- (execution via anti-aircraft gun) -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:30 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Un! Double up. Un Un! -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron May 13, 07:32 1
      - 2 anti-aircraft guns would have just been a waste! -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:37
Caps or Rangers who ya got tonight? Will the Caps choke on another 3-1 lead?! -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:28 11
- Lundy and the Rangers in Game 7 at home -- nm - budice May 13, 07:32
- You must be confused...the hockey season is over. It always ends the last week of April. nm - Jim May 13, 07:32
- Gotta go with the Rangers but damn have these games been nail biters. Could have cruised home last game but had to turn it into a one goal game again. - Krusty May 13, 07:31 4
  - it has been a great series...except for Caps fans who hate choke jobs -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:31 3
    - Maybe I'll even break out the NYR Messier jersey for tonight! -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:33
    - I know nothing about the history but I do know they really choked in game five giving up that very late goal. -- nm - Krusty May 13, 07:33 1
      - 3-1 leads lost have happened 27 times. The Caps have lost 4 of them. - Will Hunting May 13, 07:36
- It'll go one of two ways: 1) Rangers win 6-1 or 2) Caps win 2-1 in OT -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:29 2
  - You are too kind. 50% its #1...5% it's #2...40% it's Rangers 2-1 in 2 OT's...and 5% Caps win in regulation. - Will Hunting May 13, 07:34 1
    - Stick with what you know one more time. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 13, 07:35
- I say they do. Rangers -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:28
The Federal Election Commission is so dysfunctional it's telling people to go ahead and break the law because they can't enforce it. -- (link) - spamlet May 13, 07:26 2
- Less "dysfunctional" and more just "underfunded and dealing with ridiculously inadequate laws" -- nm - TWuG May 13, 08:13
- So can I "run for president" and get some awesome funds? -- nm - Roovarian Cream May 13, 07:51
of course they do...Men's Right Activists hate Mad Max Fury Road -- (link) - Remlik May 13, 07:26 12
- I wasn't too interested in this film, but now I may have to go see it. -- nm - Roovarian Cream May 13, 07:56 2
  - Nor was I, but then I heard shades got quoted in the trailer. Seeing it on Saturday. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 08:15 1
    - TV spot during AoS had it! -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:19
- wow -- nm - Diva May 13, 07:41
- At least now we know why Hunting is really against it. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:35 3
  - I mean, if you're going to make a movie about Theron and Rosie...why ya gotta make them ugly? - Will Hunting May 13, 07:38 2
    - I am sure Cover Girl did not survive the apocolypse. nm -- nm - groiny May 13, 07:41 1
      - Maybe it's Maybelline? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:42
- Everytime I see these groups, I think of John Goodman in The Big Lebowski right before the big fight scene. - Reagen May 13, 07:30 3
  - ahem... - Mel Profit May 13, 07:37 2
    - Thank you. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:39 1
      - WM has email btw. just saying. -- nm - Mel Profit May 13, 08:03
"A drop of peppermint." -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:26 3
- "with style" -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:28
- Was a pretty sweet wrap-up. -- nm - budice May 13, 07:26 1
  - It went one scene too far! big spoils - Spawn May 13, 07:32
