- Spotlight: A- (meet your Oscar frontrunner - until The Revenant that is). Jessica Jones: B+ (Daredevil was a little bit better) -- nm - Buzz Nov 30, 07:55 3
  - I need to rewatch Spotlight I think. I thought it was very good when I saw it, but it just seemed to be missing that certain spark that makes me want - ty97 Nov 30, 07:58 2
    - You're absolutely right Ty, it's very good but not great. It needed that one little bit to put it there. -- nm - Buzz Nov 30, 08:02 1
      - I too place it in the very good but not great camp, but I never want to see it again. -- nm - Christmas LeBaron Nov 30, 08:05

    - the script was a mess but it got by for me on Peanuts charm -- nm - sweet baboo Nov 30, 08:08 2

- Blackhat - D (so, so boring). Jessica Jones eps. 3-9 : A -- nm - decline Nov 30, 07:49 1

STIS: Does anyone know if there's a way to disable the FB "Here's a picture you posted 2 years ago" function? Nm - ralph wiggum Nov 30, 07:09 5

  - maybe they are all just really shitty drivers? - groiny Nov 30, 07:35 2
    - That's probably more at the root of the issue. "Nobody knows how to drive properly!" and there's always a big pileup in the first corner. -- nm - Max Nov 30, 07:44 1
      - Just like in real life! -- nm - spamlet Nov 30, 08:15

        No, just got it because of Will's link. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 30, 07:50 1
        
        You guys should also install the Forza Hub app on the console and use it to redeem Forza Rewards credits each week. - Max Nov 30, 08:02
    - If anyone picks up Horizon 2 let me know, I've been close to getting but no one on my friends list has it. -- nm - J Nov 30, 07:23 3
