Turning heel on Ty's dinner, I suggest wild mushroom ragout, marinated tofu (dafuq?), veggie paella and a shot of nitroglycerine as a chaser. -- nm - David May 20, 16:18
I know Max is weird and all, but the Gerard Butler thing is a bridge too far. - David May 20, 16:09 16
- Even all other things kept the same, it would have been a different movie with Butler, but what did Tom Hardy add to the movie? -- nm - Max May 20, 16:36 11
  - I haven't seen it yet, but the only Butler adds to a project is pointlessness. -- nm - David May 20, 16:39 10
    - You may be surprised to find that's exactly what Hardy adds to it. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:41 9
      - If you don't like Tom Hardy, you're a disappointing human being. -- nm - David May 20, 16:50 2
        
        and actually, if you see it and enthusiastically *like* Tom Hardy in this movie, then *you're* a disappointing human being. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:52
        
        dammit, see the damn movie first. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:51
      - I think David means in a broader sense, whereas that is decidedly not true of Hardy. -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 16:43 5
        
        But it has to be as foolish to automatically assume someone would be lousy as it is to automatically assume someone would be great. - Max May 20, 16:50 4
        
        Hardy has been tremendous in almost everything. Butler has been at best tolerable in most of his work. - David May 20, 16:56 3
        
        This is a Monty Hall casting situation. I'm telling you I've already seen Tom Hardy behind door #1, and I know my odds are better gambling on door #2. -- nm - Max May 20, 16:59 2
        
        And *I* am telling *you* that you picked the goat behind door #2. -- nm - David May 20, 17:01 1
        
        Because I know a goat would work harder than Tom Hardy did in this movie. -- nm - Max May 20, 17:03
- Ooohhh, how about Guy Pearce? He was just nuts enough in The Rover -- nm - amoxy May 20, 16:13 3

      - So, what's more data to give them! -- nm - iSpam May 20, 16:07
      - Already covered -- nm - Long Arm of Law May 20, 15:58
- tolls would be a better option imo. same theory, get people who travel more, but with tolls you also hit out-of-state drivers -- nm - Beaker May 20, 15:32 1
  - Tolls these days tend to be from scanning plates so you're unlikely to collect out-of-state drivers anyway. -- nm - zork May 20, 15:38
12 years ago today was the last episode of Buffy -- nm - Remlik May 20, 15:00

        It worked pretty well then... - David May 20, 16:57
      - and then left a year later. -- nm - Remlik May 20, 16:19
- OTOH, if they let Breeze and Balor go full bore in a one on one match, it'll be incredible. - Tim May 20, 15:16
- Hideo is out for like 6-8 months -- nm - Remlik May 20, 14:59 4
  - Yeah...sounds like a perfect time to have Joe show. - Will Hunting May 20, 15:03 3
