- She was exposed to something. The show doesn't give too many details, but lays out some threads for Season 2. -- nm - Endor Dec 9, 10:17 4
  - That's kind of disappointing. I was surprised there was no origin story yet. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 9, 10:22 3
    - the slow reveal is much better -- nm - decline Dec 9, 10:35
    - they give you what you really need to know, for now. nm -- nm - groindo (green lives matter) Dec 9, 10:27
    - Why? Origin stories suck. (We do see the "when", but we don't really know the "why".) -- nm - Endor Dec 9, 10:27

  - Jax-Jax Binks. Done. -- nm - Obi-Wan Kilobi Dec 9, 09:48 3
    - It's not bad enough that it reminds me of Jar Jar, but it would also remind me of pixie already using it. -- nm - Jax Pavan Dec 9, 09:49 1

- BOOOOO! -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 9, 09:30
We saw the Zoo2 trailer in front of HG4. I didn't laugh until the final bit. I'm scared this is another cash in sequel. - spamlet Dec 9, 09:29 6
- It's a very Austin Powers 2 teaser -- nm - Mark HaML Dec 9, 10:17 3
  - Without Heather Graham to look forward to. -- nm - spamlet Dec 9, 10:18 2

- aw man, that's not the word I thought he was using -- nm - Max Windu Dec 9, 10:20

    - Up and ATOM! -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:33
- This is a new format for me on Facebook. It's a... blogging platform? -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:28
I'm trying to pad the Christmas haul for my kids and I just realized they have no Star Wars toys. - Mop Dec 9, 09:26 10
- Oh look, my Master Builders Force FX lightsaber is worth $500. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:45
- Well, the BB-8 remote control toy is $150, so I don't know about that... -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:41 2
  - It was your idea!!! -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 09:45
  - Because the LEGO Death Star is so affordable? :) -- nm - Obi-Wan Kilobi Dec 9, 09:42
- Death Star - you can all build it together -- (link) - decline Dec 9, 09:30 3
  - this is the one my wife wants. Ewok Village! -- (link) - Emperor Beak Dec 9, 09:30 2
    - get both and then have the death star blast the ewok village out of existence. - decline Dec 9, 09:32 1
      - So your an imperial symphatizer? -- nm - eag Dec 9, 10:00
- Star Wars Legos. The mini-Millenium Falcon is awesome (but may be hard to find), mini-X-Wing is cool too -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 9, 09:27 1
  - The kids all have LEGO Star Wars advent calendars. My son, the big LEGO geek, is so over LEGOs, he hasn't even opened it yet. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:29
I have $13 mill for in the heart of the sea. you? -- nm - moranbong Dec 9, 09:26 5
- Although it pains me to say it, 11. -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 9, 09:33
- That movie is *SO* off my radar, when I saw my first commercial for it, I was sure the studio was just burning it off. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:27 2
  - They've been running trailers for a year and none of them ever got any better -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 9, 09:57
  - "Don't quit your Thor job!" -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 09:28
- Sounds about right. It could be even lower. -- nm - Inigo Dec 9, 09:27
Bethesda is opening a studio in Montreal. I've lost count as to how many game developers have studios in Montreal. - Mop Dec 9, 09:26 3
- 5 -- nm - decline Dec 9, 09:27 1
  - That's one more than I can count. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:35
- It's too bad Ubisoft fucked up Unity so badly. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 9, 09:27
"The two San Bernardino shooters were radicalized at least two years ago and had discussed jihad and martyrdom as early as 2013" (link) - Mark HaML Dec 9, 09:23 1
- But how could they be expected to figure that out? She didn't even give them a real address to work with! -- nm - Endor Dec 9, 10:08
Also, going up against SW:TFA can't be good news for Sisters. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 9, 09:21 13
- This might have been the better weekend to open it but if it's as funny as their pedigree it should play well -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 9, 09:30
- I think they're confident they can play to women and get the full benefit of the holiday effect... - Will Hunting Dec 9, 09:25
- i will see Sisters in theatre over the holidays though. I just have no idea what screen counts will be left for anything other than SW -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 09:23 6
  - It'll be crowded, but there will be plenty of screens. Star Wars should have about 10,000 prints. - Inigo Dec 9, 09:31 5
    - will SW set the record for most prints? or is that even a record? -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 9, 09:32 4
      - I don't think there ever an official count. Usually just an estimate, if that. So, no true record. -- nm - Inigo Dec 9, 09:33
      - do all movies even HAVE prints anymore? aren't most of them digital? -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 09:33 2
        
        I was surprised to learn they went back to shooting on 35mm film for this one -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 9, 09:59
        
        Good point, and it looks like BOM, at least, no longer uses the term "print" when they mean screen. - Inigo Dec 9, 09:47
- they seem miscast. (Fey is doing Amy's chacrter and Amy is doing Fey's. At least from the trailer) -- nm* - Emperor Beak Dec 9, 09:23 2
  - i think that was a very conscious decision - they probably both want to do something other than what they are known for. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 9, 09:26
  - ACTING!!! -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 09:25
- Flip that and reverse it. -- nm - David SI Dec 9, 09:23
Jessica Jones: Wait, what was her plan in the final episode? (spoilers) - Mop Dec 9, 09:20 14
- Right? That whole last episode was a mess. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 09:21 13
  - yeah, it was one of the weakest of the first season. On the other hand (spoil) - decline Dec 9, 09:28 1
    - Agreed. There were definitely some great episodes. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 9, 09:30
  - I hate you for making me think about this. And I will continue hating you for at least another hour or two. -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:23 10
    - Jessica Jones & Daredevil spoilerish(?) - JaxSean Dec 9, 09:29 9
      - Spoilers - Mop Dec 9, 09:31 1
        
        I can see that. spoils - JaxSean Dec 9, 09:37
      - overall, DD is the better series and her part is forgettable. You need to watch it. -- nm - decline Dec 9, 09:31 6
        
        You're wrong. -- nm - Endor Dec 9, 10:10
        
        Forgettable? Hardly. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 09:32 4
        
        ok, maybe forgettable is a bit strong. secondary? -- nm - decline Dec 9, 09:34 3
        
        If we are talking DD, her inclusion was rather big in the evolution (spoil) - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 09:40
        
        Yeah, secondary. I was trying to figure out how to describe her part. (spoilers) - Mop Dec 9, 09:39 1
        
        if I am not mistaken, she plays a big part in the comic world. - groindo (green lives matter) Dec 9, 10:32
STAR7 is currently trading at an 185M OW. Still long for me. -- nm - ShaunShaun Dec 9, 09:20 1
- that's just the Friday number -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 9, 09:20
I declare this a No Trump board! After this post. And the next three. But then, that's it! -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:18 1
- I don't have the cards to support 3 No Trump. Pass. -- nm - Admiral Ackbaron Dec 9, 09:21
(Not) tag. You are (not) it! -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 9, 09:18 1
- not IT, not playing. -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 9, 09:19
