Speaking of TMNT, if on the new cartoon they refer to them as Donnie, Mikey, Rafi, and Leo how will kids learn the classical masters? - spamlet Dec 10, 06:00 3
- totally different topic, but, you were right, Aloha got worse. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 10, 06:01 2
  - I tried to save you. -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 06:02 1
    - i watched the end of it last night and this morning on the subway. -- (edited) - Landie Calrissian Dec 10, 06:05
Charlotte Rampling got knocked out out of the Globes by the younger class running Lead (for Globes only) -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 05:58 12
- Jacob Tremblay did not get nominated which is a shame. -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 05:58 11

      - No *Brooklyn* in the Best Pic categories, but Mad Max is in. -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 06:02 8
        
        Mad Max for best picture? *smh* It looked pretty and had lots of action but otherwise it's meh. - Krusty Dec 10, 06:07 2
        
        entered into docudrama for its depiction of Bagdad rush hour -- nm - General Zeit Dec 10, 14:18
        
        I have not seen it, so have no opinion, but it was mentioned as a BP player when it opened, then faded completely, now is rebuilding - ty97 Dec 10, 06:08
        
        Double nom for Alicia Vikander (won't happen at Oscar though b/c she is going supporting there for Danish Girl) -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 06:04 4
        
        They can campaign however they want, but the Academy will put her in whatever category they choose. -- nm - Dano Dec 10, 06:11 1
        
        True, and since there is no other lead, they may bump her up (she deserves it IMO). Mara is a different situation - ty97 Dec 10, 06:12
        
        No Trumbo best pic nom (hi SAG!) but Cranston is in. -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 06:06 1

Yay!!! The first episode of the new season of Serial just dropped this morning. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 05:32 17
- Mail...Kimp? -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 06:02
- Were we expecting this? I feel like there was zero lead up to it showing up on my phone this morning. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 05:59 2
  - I refresh my podcast app in the morning and when it popped up I was completely surprised. I thought we'd have heard of a release date weeks ago. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 10, 06:00 1
    - They wanted to be like Beyonce and drop it when no one expected it. -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 06:05
- thanks! -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 10, 05:57
- Is the subject as rumored? -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 05:54 11
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 05:56 10
    - Ugh. -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 05:59 7
      - I was hoping for something else but I'll still listen every week. I was hoping for a story we hadn't heard about in the news. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 06:01 6
        
        They DO have actual interviews with Bergdahl that we haven't seen elsewhere. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:11
        
        I'm on the fence, truthfully. - spamlet Dec 10, 06:02 4
        
        Part of me says season one was lightning in a bottle anyway. -- nm - Tim Dec 10, 06:10 2
        
        I think another interesting "who done it" would have been awesome and brought the people back. *shrug* -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 06:11 1
        
        I think if they did that in Season 2 they would have really limited themselves in future seasons. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:13
        
        I get that and I'm sort of with you on this. Hopefully they make it a compelling podcast again but with a lot of the info already known it's going - Krusty Dec 10, 06:05
    - Bergdahl? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 05:56 1
      - Yep -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 05:58

ST Poll: Will Golden State make it to 28-0 before playing Cleveland on Christmas Day? - Strongbad Dec 10, 04:38 5
- At this point, I don't see why they wouldn't. Vegas says barring significant injury, they will be favored in EVERY game this year except at Spurs. -- nm - Lightning Bear (aka Volnelk) Dec 10, 04:45 4
  - ESPN has them at 50/50 for making it to 72-10, tying the 95-96 Bulls alltime season record. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 10, 04:47 3
    - Hilarious to consider stuff like that and then consider that for them to lose the title someone has to beat them 4 times out of 7. Good luck. -- nm - Lightning Bear (aka Volnelk) Dec 10, 05:24 2
      - I don't think it's as much as them "considering" stuff like that as much as it's just statistics. - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 10, 05:46
      - If healthy, I don't see it happening; course that's the story of the NBA the last few years. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 10, 05:29
Colbert now in 4th in Late Night ratings, even behind Seth Meyers at 12:30 -- (link) - Strongbad Dec 10, 04:30 1
- I gave up after the first week. Not the show I was hoping for from him. It's just like every other late night show and I was hoping he'd be different - Krusty Dec 10, 05:48
I am going to say something crazy, but hear me out. - Beryllium Dec 10, 02:29 2
- This is literally the first I have heard regarding whether this was any good. I assumed it was the usual hot mess on the half-shell. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 05:42
- Oh, I see, it's not entirely crazy. - Beryllium Dec 10, 02:31
I'm scared. I actually agree with my crazy tea party Rep on this. -- (link) - Clove Silverfluff Dec 10, 02:11 1

What was that thing... the one where Ray Liotta played the morally ambiguous guy? -- nm - Grand Mop Tarkin Dec 9, 22:47 12
- He now frightens everyone into drinking tequila. -- nm - Senator Profitine Dec 10, 05:16
- has he ever been morally ambiguous? I'd just call him amoral. -- nm - mafic Dec 9, 23:17 10
  - Who would be classic examples of either one? -- nm - Max Dec 9, 23:39 9
    - Ray Liotta in all his movies! - mafic Dec 10, 01:13

        although Solo actually does become moral in the climax of Ep. IV -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 10, 00:13 1
        
        yeah, he's a real flip-flopper -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 00:16

    - yeah, second refresh. It's a bit of a bug, but I kind of like the effect (for now, at least). -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 23:13 1
      - Works for me. Particularly when you respond to a post and haven't finished reading the new posts. -- nm - Meg Dec 9, 23:17

- Contact at that time isn't too surprising. Charlemagne received an elephant as a gift from the middle east, Alfred the Great could have too. -- nm - Max Windu Dec 9, 23:24 3
