Jeffrey Lord is on Diane Reihm and has the balls to say that the Democratic party opposed the 13th amendment. 150 years ago. In defense of Trump. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 07:30 2

Hey, lawyers, what are the odds that if there's a trial and I'm selected for jury duty on Monday, the trial lasts more than one day? My guess is that - mara Dec 10, 07:23 5

Has ST seen Darth Trump? -- (link) - mara Dec 10, 07:04 [youtube] 8

Offically up over H$1B for the year. That makes 4 of the last 5 years. 2014 sucked. -- nm - GregW Dec 10, 07:00

- WARNING: For those of us that have not seen it, a good amount of Mad Max spoilers in this thread. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 07:22
- With the caveat that I haven't seen a lot of the competition, I think Mad Max should be a legit contender for both directing and cinematography. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:41 14
  - [deleted]
  - I liked it and I thought a lot of the action was staged very well. That's about it. They drive away and then turn around. -- nm - R2-Deev2 Dec 10, 07:17 1
    - heh -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 10, 07:28
  - I can agree with Cinematography...but past that, I'm not at all impressed by it. - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:07 10
    - I agree completely. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 07:14
    - I know I'm virtually alone in this opinion now and here but I wholeheartedly disagree. It tells a complex story with subtle technique when compared - Senator Profitine Dec 10, 07:10 8
      - [deleted] 1
        
        IMO, the best picture should be a great film all around and not great in some areas but wholly deficient in others. -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 10, 07:37
      - I'm missing the complexity then. (Spoils for movie) -- (edited) - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:17
      - With so little dialogue, I still felt that I had full understanding of the world, the characters and the stakes. It was really smart filmmaking. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 07:13 3
        
        And I guess I should follow up to say that when we're talking about directing and cinematography, it doesn't matter if the story is 'dumb.' It's about - ewokicripple Dec 10, 07:25 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Thing is, this style hasn't been rewarded beyond technical stuff in the past (Sin City / 300 ...) - Will Hunting Dec 10, 07:26
      - I think the story is mostly dumb. -- nm - Lightning Bear (aka Volnelk) Dec 10, 07:12
- I'm not as sold on Big Short, though it has definitely picked up. Agreed on the other two. - ty97 Dec 10, 06:40
Becks? I haven't seen anyone drink that since 1999. -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 10, 06:33
If I have to turn the air conditioner on in December there are going to be words. -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 06:31 8
- it might touch 50 here today, which is extraordinary - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:40 1
  - pretty much the same here - forecasted high is 9*C (which is 48*F). I am perfectly fine with a green Christmas. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 10, 07:07
- Of course I didn't look and today I wore my fleece - Obi-Wan Kilobi Dec 10, 06:36
- This warm weather is nice and all but it ain't right and it's taking away the Christmas feeling. - Krusty Dec 10, 06:35 4
  - I need to do my annual pilgrimage to the tree and may have to wear short sleeves! -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 06:36 3
    - I bought my tree last night and went out in only a sweater. It's so weird. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 06:39 2
      - I'm wearing a short sleeve jersey, no jacket today. It's weird but I dig it. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:41 1
        
        I work outside so I'm enjoying it as well but I'll say it again, it ain't right. I expect we'll start seeing some big sales on winter clothes if this - Krusty Dec 10, 06:46
The Tick Returns -- (link) - Obi-Wan Kilobi Dec 10, 06:28 8
- I'm baffled as to why this article - FROM 2014 - is making the rounds of social media lately. - Mop Dec 10, 07:33
- It's going to be a strange season of Serial. -- nm - Sith Lord Sexypants Dec 10, 07:25 3
  - If this was on Netflix I would look forward to a Tick/Daredevil crossover. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 07:28 2
    - Marvel's The Tick would have too much in common with Deadpool -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 07:35 1
      - It would be one hell of a buddy cop pairing, though. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 07:36
- Today is a good day. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 10, 07:07

Well, this is lousy. "My run-in with hate speech at a Minnesota Vikings game" -- (link) - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:22 12
- You know, I read that yesterday and if it happened that's 100% uncalled for. But I have my doubts about the veracity. - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:23 11
  - If he were a reporter I think I'd believe him. I got very leery when I got to the "is an attorney and director of the Advocates for Human Rights’ Refugee and Immigrant Program" part. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:46 1
    - I would also believe him if he said he was asked if he were "Syrian", "Muslim" or "a terrorist". "Refugee" is mighty convenient for his cause. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:48
  - Of course it happened. It's in the midwest. -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 06:31
  - Hm. Vikings say they didn't know about it until they read the op-ed and have reached out to the guy. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:29 7
    - That's part of my skepticism--he says he reported it to security, but security says they were unaware until the op-ed. - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:34 6
      - Security is employed by UM, though, right? -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:42 1
        
        No, security at the Vikings games is provided by Vikings/NFL. - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:44
      - maybe the security guard that handled it didn't feel he needed to file a report, since no action was taken? -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:41 3
        
        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:42 2
        
        I guess your gut didn't think that far. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 06:53 1
        
        I have no idea what security procedures are. For a host of other reasons, I'm reserving doubt the incident happened at all. -- nm - Mark HaML Dec 10, 06:56

    - i actually used to like MGD - it went well with a fish fry. -- nm - R2-Deev2 Dec 10, 06:36

- Bud Select -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:21 11
  - I didn't even know this existed -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 06:22 9
    - It's their Coke Zero, essentially. - spamlet Dec 10, 06:26 8
      - Well, I'd call it their Diet Coke. Their first attempt that has since been supplanted by something that tastes like beer/Coke. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:29 7
        
        Isn't their Diet Coke actually Bud Light? -- nm - Inigo Dec 10, 06:30 6
        
        Yeah. I think Bud Select was more like . . . Mexican Coke? -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:31 3
        
        Umm. Their "Mexican Coke" would be "Budweiser". -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:49 2
        
        Bud would be Coke, though, right? And the marginally tastier, more full bodied Bud Select is the cane sugar variety. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 10, 06:52 1
        
        Bud Select is in no way tastier or more full bodied. It was their first failed attempt at a super light beer and it tasted like what piss would piss. - Endor Dec 10, 07:05
        
        That's the way I was going but since I don't drink, it may not be a perfect analogy. -- nm - spamlet Dec 10, 06:30 1
        
        I was considering Select 55 and Platinum as their Coke Zeros. -- nm - Endor Dec 10, 06:50
