Concussion - B+ (Will Smith is great in it). The Big Short - A-. Episodes 1-6 of Making a Murderer - A. -- nm - pmb Jan 4, 08:36 12

- Tangent: Christie saying Obama was marinated in political correctness is still making me laugh. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:26
I got a Fitbit for Christmas. Waited a few days to set it up. Now after about a week.... - ty97 Jan 4, 08:22 10
- 10K is a pretty good target. I was going through what my phone has tracked and I averaged 10K for Dec but for the year 9266 - JD Jan 4, 08:55
- If I don't go for a run, there's no way I get 10k on a workday. After busy season, I realized that run is a priority for me. -- nm - MDH Jan 4, 08:39
- Before mine broke, I would consistently hit 12k (I need to get a replacement) -- nm - decline Jan 4, 08:38
- My goal is 8,000, but my average is 5,500. -- nm - JaxLangSyne Jan 4, 08:36
- Dave is obsessed with getting his steps. He's been going for 2 hour long walks all Christmas break. -- (edited) - Andie Jan 4, 08:28

- I learned from my daughter that the single biggest factor in being able to meet your daily step count goal is - prayformojo Jan 4, 08:26 2
  - nice. -- nm - Deeve Jan 4, 08:54
  - Talk to my wife. Just play piano for a few hours :) -- nm - oblique Jan 4, 08:30
Fortunately, I'm fine on the elements - though those 4 "new" ones hadn't been official yet, they were included on the Sporcle - prayformojo Jan 4, 08:20 1
- Now I am back to not having a complete set, though. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:21
The greatest gift: Costco had two pounds of peppermint bark for $5.97 yesterday. - ML Jan 4, 08:16 2

Kind of surprised at some of the grades I am seeing here for The Hateful 8...may wait till video now -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 08:15 16
- I put it at my 4th favorite of his films. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 08:50
- i would still see it on the big screen. it rates just for Jennifer Jason Leigh being back -- nm - humbug Jan 4, 08:43 3
  - I loved seeing her again, but I think Sam and Walter Goggins were better. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 08:49 1
    - it's Walton. and yes, he finally gets a movie where he is not just a background piece. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 08:51
  - she is very enjoyable in her part in this movie. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Jan 4, 08:47
- I enjoyed it quite a lot, except for really wanting a blanket and some hot coffee the whole time. -- nm - Oswaldo MoBarony Jan 4, 08:26
- I was one of the ones that saw it. The WOM was not great. Maybe spoils? - MDH Jan 4, 08:17
- It's lower tier Tarantino. Way too long for such a simple plot. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 08:17 8
  - I'd agree. Still worth seeing, but not his best stuff. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 4, 08:19 6
    - Yeah, I'd give it a very enjoyable B or B-. It does have some great moments. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 08:23 5
      - Maybe it's just me, but I don't get his "Westerns." This and Django were disappointing. - MDH Jan 4, 08:26 4
        
        Yeah, that is a huge part for me. I was going to go yesterday until I realized I would be commiting 4 hours to the experience. No thanks. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:39 1
        
        Yup. It cost me nearly 5 hours between walking to/from the theater, arriving early, and the movie. -- nm - MDH Jan 4, 08:40
        
        I still haven't watched Django, and I'm not sure if I will. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 4, 08:30
        
        I liked Django. This one was just too drawn out. - Dark Callisto Jan 4, 08:29
  - Heh, you said exactly what I meant in my IM, but better :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 4, 08:17
NFL: Tom Coughlin has a 1 pm ET meeting with Giants ownership. -- nm - budice Jan 4, 08:13 5

  - I'm 99% sure he's resigning -- nm - ML Jan 4, 08:17 1
    - He probably just called the meeting to discuss his theories on Making a Murderer -- nm - prayformojo Jan 4, 08:40
  - He will not walk away. He will make them fire him. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:16
  - Yeah he has to be. I like him a lot (2 SBs don't lie) but he's run his course and retirement will be good for him. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 08:14
Oculus Rift pre-orders start in 2 days -- (link) - oblique Jan 4, 08:12 3
- No way. -- (link) - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:16
- I *highly* recommend trying it first before buying. Buddy has a dev kit and I had to stop using it due to motion sickness. - Shaun Jan 4, 08:13 1
  - Yeah, I really hope I can find some place to demo it once they hit the market. Not sure how sensitive I would be to that -- nm - oblique Jan 4, 08:25

We went to SW:TFA on Saturday. Trailers attached were Warcraft, The Finest Hours, Fantastic Beasts, and The Jungle Book. - Shaun Jan 4, 08:01 18
- we got zootopia and captain america only. -- nm - loaner machine mandy Jan 4, 08:20
- I am soooooo stoked for The Finest Hours to come out so I don't have to see that trailer again. -- nm - Endor Jan 4, 08:11
- We got a few of those, plus some others including 5th Wave which I was surprised to see was a January movie. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 08:09 7
  - After reading all the things about how Cap3, BvS, X-men:A, etc were attached, I was a little sad. - Shaun Jan 4, 08:11 6
    - Ah, we had X-Men. So 2/3. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:12 5
      - Yeah, I had X-Men and Cap. -- nm - ty97 Jan 4, 08:17 4
        
        The odd thing about the BvS is that they had slightly edited it from what we had before. - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:20 3
        
        I still dig that trailer. 'Freaks dressed as clowns' is so perfect. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 08:21 2
        
        Nothing about the movie is perfect, but that is a good line. It scares me to think that Lex may be the best part of the movie. - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:23 1
        
        more -- possible spoils - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:31
- We had those (except Fantastic Beasts, which makes me sad) along with BvS... and one I am forgetting now. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:04
- Zootopia has played the best. Fantastic Beasts always gets an "oooh". The rest not much -- nm - budice Jan 4, 08:03 1
  - Zootopia and The Secret Lives of Pets got major laughter when I saw Star Wars with my kids. -- nm - Inigo Jan 4, 08:05
- I was soooooo stoked for the Jungle Book trailer. Looking forward to it. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 4, 08:03 2
  - The final shot *kills*. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:04 1
    - I squeed a little. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 4, 08:08
- we had the same ones when we went (looking forward to Fantastic Beasts) -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 08:02 1
  - Ok cool. The 3D on Warcraft looked atrocious. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 08:05

- A is for Airport Bar. -- nm - Loyola Jan 4, 07:44
- D) [insert your option here] -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 07:44

  - this -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 07:58
- B) -- nm - Flavorize Jan 4, 07:43
- Get a good night sleep, Supershuttle it in if someone can't dropoff -- nm - budice Jan 4, 07:43 1
  - LAX is very much this, Uber/Lyft/Supershuttle if possible -- nm - budice Jan 4, 07:45
- B -- nm - Endor Jan 4, 07:42

Anne Hathaway is indeed expecting. -- (link) - budice Jan 4, 07:38 21
- Do we like her? I've read stories about how she's an insuffable bitch, so I mostly don't like her. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 07:42 20

  - I figure most women in the boys-club of Hollywood have to have some toughness to them so that doesn't bother me - Will Hunting Jan 4, 07:53
  - She's on my future ex-wife list. -- nm - Oswaldo MoBarony Jan 4, 07:51
  - Not a fan at all. She's a female joker who does look good in a cat suit. She freaks me out -- nm - CQ Jan 4, 07:50
  - I like her a lot, but I don't think I'd really want to hang out with her. -- nm - Endor Jan 4, 07:48
  - i like her. i don't believe the backlash here (it's like Gwyneth backlash.) -- nm - Andie Jan 4, 07:48 5
    - If Gwyneth was 100% batshit crazy, I'd still like her. -- nm - Loyola Jan 4, 07:54 4
      - So, you'll never conciously decouple from her? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 4, 07:57 1
        
        God no. But I wouldn't go vegan either. That would be a dealbreaker. -- nm - Loyola Jan 4, 08:00
      - if? -- nm - ML Jan 4, 07:56 1

  - She and I stopped talking in 2013. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 07:45 2
    - She wouldn't wear her Catwoman suit for you? -- nm - eag Jan 4, 07:47 1
      - Speaking of that, I just realized I haven't watched TDKR in a long time. -- nm - Shaun Jan 4, 07:53
  - I dislike her greatly, but it doesn't keep me from watching movies with her in the cast. -- nm - Max Jan 4, 07:43 1

    - On the dark side? -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 08:09
    - what? that will never happen in the NFL! -- nm - Beaker Jan 4, 08:09
  - Clearly, they have Grigson down as your GM, then. -- nm - Spawn Solo Jan 4, 07:49 1
    - So far, our GM doesn't seem to be drinking again. That's a positive. - Will Hunting Jan 4, 07:56
