heh, a funny comment from the WaPol politics chat on the state of Hillary's remaining campaign debt - pigby Oct 28, 09:03
I don't think I've ever seen a single horror movie in its entirety. -- nm - TT Supreme Leader znufrii Oct 28, 09:02 7
- Sweeney Todd is like a horror movie - con_carnage Oct 28, 09:03 4
  - Ugh. What a crappy movie that was. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 28, 09:08 1
    - *kills you in the face* -- nm - TT Supreme Leader znufrii Oct 28, 09:08
  - and if it was a straight retelling of the story, and not a musical, I probably wouldn't have seen it. -- nm - TT Supreme Leader znufrii Oct 28, 09:04 1
    - FWIW, horror aren't usually "straight" stories. There's usually an exploitation aspect - con_carnage Oct 28, 09:07
- you can be leader of the kiddie table in the Compound -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 28, 09:03
- you're so pretty -- nm - decline Oct 28, 09:03

  - yggm. -- nm - All Hallows' Deeve Oct 28, 09:02
- and yet it's not on that 50 list - and Nightmare on Elm Street is down at #36. not a good list imo. -- nm - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 09:00 4
  - and no Leprechaun? What kind of list was that ? -- nm - decline Oct 28, 09:02
  - Nightmare is awesome. C'mon. -- nm - znufrii si Oct 28, 09:01
  - [deleted]
  - I don't enjoy the horror genre, so I can't really make comments overall -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 09:01
- My favorite was (spoiler) - amoxy Oct 28, 08:58
- my wife and I love them too -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 28, 08:58
- *gasp* I love the FD films. They keep me on the edge of my seat, and yet have a high comic value -- nm - con_carnage Oct 28, 08:58 4
  - I liked them because they had the decency to continually find new ways to kill people. - Jim Oct 28, 09:00 3
    - And usually, different methods are simultaneously vying for the same kill in the same scene! :-) -- nm - con_carnage Oct 28, 09:02 2
      - Yep, my favorite was the (spoils, I guess) - Jim Oct 28, 09:03 1

- any copies of the complete Rising Stars HC? price? -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 28, 08:55 3
  - I *LOVED* Rising Stars. Spawn might need to get one with his gc. -- nm - Amy Oct 28, 09:00 1
    - let me know if I need to order one for you in particluar. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 09:10

Mad Men ratings up 89% over season 1 -- (link) - pigby Oct 28, 08:54 4
- Surprising lack of dancing celebrities in the finale. -- nm - Hollywood Producer Oct 28, 08:56
- Excellent! Still need to see the season finale ep. -- nm - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 28, 08:55 2
  - i'm about 2/3 through season 2 - pigby Oct 28, 08:56 1
    - It might be sacrilege to say this but this show has not, IMHO, had a clunker episode through either season and that puts it - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 28, 09:00
Is James Bond loathsome? -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 28, 08:54 4
- Of course - but it's all part of his charm. Bond has always been a misogynist, brand-conscious xenophobe (much like Fleming himself). - Roger Morbid Oct 28, 09:05
- well he should probably stop fixating on cars but loathsome? -- nm - pigby Oct 28, 08:56

  - /= Do you look at the mirror, and wish you had hair? =/ -- nm - TaurusII Oct 28, 08:56
I probably shouldn't feel uneasy about this but I do. Co-worker was at my computer helping me with a question I had about benefits - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 28, 08:53 2
- *snork!* -- nm - Hdn's cow orker Oct 28, 08:56 1
  - Right? I'd feel better that way but I should not feel apologetic for what I make. I guess I am a distribute the wealth kind of guy. :) - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 28, 09:01
Will Hunting ... I am not condeming negotiations, if indeed *we* are approaching things differently. - sheba of seven veils Oct 28, 08:51 4
- I'm just confused by why you'd respond to an article saying we're open to negotiating with the Taliban as just another - Will Hunting Oct 28, 09:00 1
  - I wish I had the skill to express what I think, clearly and concisely, in writing, to someone who does not know me. Unfortunately I do not. - sheba of seven veils Oct 28, 09:15
- but, we ARE right. ALL the time. and everyone else in the world is WRONG. ALL the time. -- nm - Joe the plumber Oct 28, 08:53 1

50 all-time scariest movies -- (link) - Cranknophobia Oct 28, 08:45 7
- Jesus Camp at #17 makes up for the inclusion of crap like Event Horizon. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 09:09
- ok, that's it. I'm renting blair witch 2. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 28, 08:54 5
  - Nah. I'm not big on that movie. It's only worth watching because it's got the guy from Burn Notice in it, and a bit of nudity. -- nm - Hollywood Producer Oct 28, 08:58 1
    - That's enough of that. SFAN! -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 08:59

  - fair play to you then just remember that when I dominate you online as I do. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 08:53 1
    - What are you going to do; teabag my fallen body? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 08:54
  - it was plural...who else is in the box? -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 28, 08:46 1
    - even a supposed plural can, in fact, be singular, when used as a nickname -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 08:47
speaking of : "Diabetes drug costs soaring, top $12B last year" -- (link) - decline Oct 28, 08:44 3
- It's not just our passion, it's our second house in Boca. -- nm - Novo Nordisk Oct 28, 08:47
- And that's just the cost of Type 2 meds. I can't imagine what Type 1 diabetics spend on insulin... - kelly Oct 28, 08:46
- Unless a cure comes along, in 20 yrs we'll probably look back fondly on diabetes rates today. -- nm - The Legend of Sleepy Hdn Oct 28, 08:45

- Easily my all-time favorite horror film. (nm) - David Oct 28, 09:00
- It's good. High B, maybe a B+. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 28, 08:58
- I really liked it. The trilogy went downhill -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 08:55
- I guess I'll be the one. The reveal on the killer was retarded and it ruined the whole movie for me. - Jim Oct 28, 08:54 3
  - That was kind of the point wasn't it? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 28, 09:06 1
    - Honestly...I have no idea. I just know it totally left me flat. -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 09:07
  - [deleted]
- Never seen it. -- nm - TT Supreme Leader znufrii Oct 28, 08:53
- Excellent, and a lot of good jump scares, but I agree with decline - not atmosperhically. -- nm - emoticreature from the black lagoon Oct 28, 08:48
- Superb -- nm - kilboooo Oct 28, 08:48
- I think it's pretty brilliant - it's a successful satire of horror movies yet an effective horror movie at the same time. -- nm - JCVDano Oct 28, 08:47
- [deleted] 5
  - Wouldn't that normally be me? And I loved it. One of the only horror movie I own. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 28, 08:56
  - I like Drew Barrymore's boobs and you... Oh wait. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 28, 08:55

- Figure out a way to prevent that from descimating rural areas, and I might even subscribe to your newsletter. - Name Withheld By Request Oct 28, 08:43 4
  - there would have to be an inherent symbiosis between the two, naturally, as people would still need to be fed. -- nm - TT Supreme Leader znufrii Oct 28, 08:45 3
    - I take it you didn't like my agricultural skyscraper suggestion? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 08:46 1

    - put down the theasuarus poindexter. -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 28, 08:45

- Yay! -- nm - Monaco Oct 28, 08:42
