No, no too Peyton and Blaine -- nm - amoxy Nov 17, 22:03
Kiva group - have you re-loaned your payments? We're currently $1,075 behind last year with 2 months to go. -- nm - Meg Nov 17, 21:33 2
- Can you lay it on some bets in Vegas? -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 17, 22:08 1

Another disappointing end to America's Got Talent (sorry, I just caught up). - Mop Nov 17, 21:24 4

  - My kids and I loved Piff. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 22:06 1
    - Yeah, but his act didn't translate well during the live shows. The dog was a problem but I'm sure that was the producers coaxing. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 22:22
power apparently went out for me and several hundred neighbors a few minutes before I arrived home. :/ -- (edited) - i.b.! Nov 17, 21:23
Ben Stein, why don't you shut up? -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 21:20

- public places like malls & tv commercials is where it gets me. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 17, 20:25
- I managed to avoid it last year. I don't listen to the radio and just bought 2 Christmas CDs for the car, making sure they didn't - Meg Nov 17, 20:25
- The fun in it, at least for me, is to listen to Christmas music with the hope that it won't come on. I don't avoid hearing Christmas music at all. - Krusty Nov 17, 20:22
- Yes, very much so. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 20:20
Canadian Netflix still doesn't have season 6 of the good wife. But apparently US Netflix has zero seasons. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 20:16 2
- Because Hulu has it -- nm - Bacon Nov 17, 20:55 1
  - Including season 6? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 21:11

Two Air France planes from U.S. to Paris diverted due to threats -- (link) - Remlik Nov 17, 19:48
OK, so The Big Chill is the "Insufferable Baby Boomers" movie - what's the "Insufferable Gen Xers" movie? -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 19:40 43
- Empire Records, Singles, ans Reality Bites might as well all be the same movie. I get their plots conflated. -- nm* - Mop Nov 17, 21:10
- This thread makes me realize how few movies in the "contemporary people talking a lot" genre I've seen - Roger More Nov 17, 20:36 5
  - Why do you hate movies made in the seventies? -- nm - con_carne Nov 17, 21:51
  - And I'll submit Before Sunrise. -- nm - Roger More Nov 17, 20:37 3
    - Can't Hardly Wait, Eurotrip, and that one with the girl and Freddie Prinze Jr. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 21:12 2
      - I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a reply to another post. -- nm - Mop Nov 17, 22:10
      - Do you *know* what "insufferable" means? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 21:44
- I almost want to float Clerks, but it's still pretty solid and it's only the rest of the Kevin Smith catalogue that makes me question it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 17, 20:21
- Breakfast Club. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 17, 20:10 1
  - that was a possible second choice for me. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 20:14

- Empire Records -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 17, 19:55 3
  - that was my suggestion. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 19:56 2
    - Empire Records is a poorly done attempt to capture Tower Records. Reality Bites is specifically about Gen X - JD Nov 17, 20:04
    - I've never actually watched the whole thing, so I would still have to go Reality Bites -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 17, 19:58
- not The English Patient? -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 17, 19:51
- Go - sweet baboo Nov 17, 19:50

  - He's Just Not That Into You -- nm - Max Nov 18, 00:41
  - Frances Ha. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 20:03 3
    - Jeez. I liked it, but you are totally correct. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 17, 20:05 2
      - Though I think Girls is more emblematic of Millenials' unique insufferability. -- nm - emoticripple Nov 17, 20:07 1
        
        fair - things have moved to TV. -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 20:08
  - Supposably, it's Park Slope -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 17, 20:00

  - YouTube -- nm - Dano Nov 17, 19:49
- Singles? -- nm - Max Nov 17, 19:47 2
  - Nah fool! -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 17, 19:59
  - To me that's the converse of the question and that's the watchable (sufferable?) Gen X movie -- nm* - JD Nov 17, 19:48
- Hackers -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 17, 19:43 1
  - Well, I suppose it's insufferable for some ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 19:43
- Reality Bites -- nm - Andie Nov 17, 19:42
- Reality Bites? -- nm - Dano Nov 17, 19:42
- Reality Bites -- nm - JD Nov 17, 19:41 3
  - that'd get my vote -- nm - prayformojo Nov 17, 19:42 2
    - ding. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 19:46
    - And I like the movie -- nm - JD Nov 17, 19:44

      - The images are very tiny joke insets -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 19:58 2
        
        Some of the other entries on the tumblog are not safe for work, though -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 20:05 1
        
        it's ok - it happens. I'm glad it wasn't, like, his art (or worse, images of him) mixed with porn. ;) - -- nm - b. Nov 17, 20:09

Remember when we thought Agent Ward was Blandy McBlanderson? -- nm - Reagen Nov 17, 19:32 2
- I know the first dozen episodes get crap from a lot of people for that, but they absolutely were needed to sell this turn. -- nm - TWuG Nov 17, 19:35 1
  - yes. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 19:35
Is it true that a pink room will make people tired? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 17, 19:29 3
- "They say taupe is very soothing" -- nm - prayformojo Nov 17, 19:30 2
  - Green is not a creative color. -- nm - Qale Nov 17, 19:32 1

- never on a Wed! but Thursday sure. -- nm - Remlik Nov 17, 19:37
- just a guess, but might this be connected to your surprise appointment? -- nm - b. Nov 17, 19:23 3

        I didn't say for me. I was home. Just that the people that buy tickets are likely to do something more fun than watching the Nets. - Krusty Nov 17, 20:01 2
        
        oh, I didn't think you were speaking for yourself, I was dismissing way more than you. (heh.) - b. Nov 17, 20:08 1
