Ha! I called this one. -- (link) - Spawn Jan 20, 07:54 5
- Yes you did. It was great. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 07:56 4
  - how was the rest of the concert? -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:57 3
    - Well, for me, whereas most Springsteen shows are an A+, this one was probably an A/A-. Still great, don't get me wrong, but the format of playing an - pmb Jan 20, 08:07 1
      - Nice ... I wonder if this is early in the tour and he'll change it up before it ends. (because I'm betting he notices the drag as you mentioned) -- nm - JenBro Jan 20, 08:24
    - Not as Eagles like. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:58
ESPN is currently doing a League of Legends segment. - David Jan 20, 07:52
So Sting/Peter Gabriel are coming to down. Worth seeing you think? I know Pearl Jam is too but I already saw them back in the heydey -- nm - oblique Jan 20, 07:46 10
- I wouldn't, but that's just me. -- nm - ML Jan 20, 08:02
- meh. and meh. - JaxSean Jan 20, 07:49 2
  - DTM -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:50 1
    - *finally* -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 07:54
- Go see both. PJ is in the heyday still. -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 07:49 2
  - eh. seriously haven't listened to anything new from them since No Code. - oblique Jan 20, 07:51 1
    - they are still making good, relevant music. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:55
- Remlik and I will be there. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 20, 07:49
- I wish I liked Sting more, I would love to see Gabriel. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:49 1
  - Well, Sting will be doing some Gabriel songs, so that is a plus for you. - Spawn Jan 20, 07:49
There's spelling mistakes and then there are spelling mistakes. -- (link) - znufrii Jan 20, 07:43 21
- No matter what he meant - the word "terraced" is WAY to advanced for 10 year old. He needed to be questioned. -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 08:00 2
  - "If you ask me, she's up to no good. Those books are way too advanced for her. Or do I little Tiffany an apology?" -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:02 1
    - nice nm - Jim Jan 20, 08:03
- I get why the cops had to investigate, but how did the teachers not realize this was an error? - Will Hunting Jan 20, 07:47 1
  - I would like to see where he wrote it. As in, response to a question? I need the context. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:51
- there are idiot teachers and then there is this guy -- nm - decline Jan 20, 07:44
- yeah, I can't really see how they could just ignore that; he could have heard it and written it down at 10. -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:44 14
  - on the other hand, how hard would it be for the teacher to speak with the student to ask what he meant before going to the cops? -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 07:46 13
    - "could you explain what this means?" Done. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 07:55 2
      - and then the story becomes "10 Year Old interrogated by Teacher without parents consent". No win for the teacher -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:59 1
        
        That...is....school. They ask questions. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:03
    - Right...I mean, you might have to still report as a total CYA, but sounds like they just shirked that entire - Will Hunting Jan 20, 07:48 1
      - "I also made this clock..." -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:48
    - "Kid, are you a terrorist?" - oblique Jan 20, 07:46 7
      - "What did you mean when you wrote this?" -- nm* - Roger More Jan 20, 07:53 5
        
        he may be a terrorist, but definitely not a liar -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:53 4
        
        It's open-ended questions like that that help determine whether you think someone is lying or not. - Roger More Jan 20, 07:59 3
        
        and then the teacher is interrogating a 10 year old. It was a no win for the teacher, so he did what they are told to do -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 08:00 2
        
        It's one question - and an understandable one to make, not an interrogation -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 08:07
        
        it's hardly an interrogation to help a student learn proper spelling. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:03
      - he may be a terrorist, but definitely not a liar -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:47

- I got about a third of the way through... -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 07:51 1
  - which is a lot better than I did with Ulysses, fwiw -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 07:52
- Some years ago I toyed with the idea of reading a notoriously difficult book and this was near the top of the list of choices. - Oswaldo MoBarony Jan 20, 07:48 1
  - Is the Historian on that list? heh -- nm - Pippy Vegas Jan 20, 07:57
- like what does it remind you of? I am toying with adding it to my library -- nm - Pippy Vegas Jan 20, 07:43 2
  - Ulyssian in a way I guess. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 07:48

Woohoo! Best Picture Showcase tickets available! Day 1 (2/20): BoS, Room, MMFR, Big Short; Day 2 (2./27) : Brook, SpotL, Martian, Revenant -- nm - prayformojo Jan 20, 07:37 8
- Hmm. I may try to do Day 1. I've seen Martian and have zero interest in Revenant. - spamlet Jan 20, 07:46 7
  - The Revenant is kind of "Terrence Malick's Legends of the Fall" -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 07:50 3
    - I know that people love it and it's supposed to be good but it looks like high brow torture pron to me. -- nm - spamlet Jan 20, 07:54 2
      - It's a 2 and a half hour screensaver with the odd violent bit and grunting -- nm - LMS Jan 20, 08:02
      - Yes and no. -- nm - Reagen Jan 20, 07:56
  - Honestly, thinking about it this is about the best split of lineups I could have asked for only doing one day. - spamlet Jan 20, 07:48 2
    - I like the split a lot - the two that I've seen each fall on separate days. - looking forward to day 1 especially -- nm - prayformojo Jan 20, 07:50 1
      - Huh, Fandango doesn't have tickets for both theatres near me, just one of them. -- nm - spamlet Jan 20, 08:07

Reminder - its Starbond adjust day, and there's loads. -- nm - LMS Jan 20, 07:12
I actually liked the first Suicide Squad trailer better. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:06 16
- If you mean that I have zero desire to rewatch it, then I agree. - Spawn Jan 20, 07:31 1
  - 2:07 -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:32
- Will Smith is a horrible casting choice for that movie. Thought it all along and nothing has changed. - Bacon Jan 20, 07:19 12
  - yeah, I'm still not convinced on him either; but loved the trailer -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:33
  - #whiteoscars -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 07:31
  - well, see, I don't think of deadshot as "evil" per se. - groiny Jan 20, 07:24 9
    - I admit I don't know the material other than they are a bunch of bad convicts. -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 07:25 6
      - You should read Secret Six. - David Jan 20, 07:29 1
        
        I wish we knew a guy -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 07:33

        Assault on Arkham is a solid animated film based on the SS. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:31 1
        
        word. One thing DC does really well is their animated material. Really looking forward to their take on The Killing Joke -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:33
        
        Aaah, that does change my perspective a bunch -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 07:28
    - Yeah, he's a hired gun, not necessarily evil. -- nm - Shaun Jan 20, 07:25 1
      - Well, that's still pretty evil -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 07:26

- I can't stand that woman. -- nm - Loyola Jan 20, 07:37
- probably, see also: pretty much every other comedian out there. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 07:36
- I expected a Lee Mack joke in there, I think he's had the most jokes stolen. -- nm - LMS Jan 20, 07:30
- There is nothing new under the sun. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 20, 07:21
- meh. I would say they're different enough, but I don't think it's blatant. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 07:19
- Actually, that's pretty compelling. I do wonder, though, how prevalent this is in comedy. I would bet it happens - Jim Jan 20, 07:17 16
  - It reminds me of the things that crop up from time to time when so and so accuses Coldplay of ripping off some obscure band -- (edited) - Reagen Jan 20, 07:34 5

        All That You Can't Leave Behind was their last great release. 2000 - Spawn Jan 20, 07:48
    - Halftime at SuperBowl 50 Coldplay I think you mean -- nm - Beaker Jan 20, 07:35
  - There's also the possibility that she bought the jokes from them. -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 07:28 1
    - Yeah, I was wondering - especially about the produced pieces, the commercials. - Jim Jan 20, 07:31
  - almost all comedy is variations of jokes that have all been told before. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:25 5
    - Unless it was written by George Carlin. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:26 4
      - Steven Wright is pretty unique too. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:35

        "Tell most people that an Invisible Man who rules everything exists and they believe you. Tell them that the paint is wet, people have to touch it to - Mel Profit Jan 20, 07:34
      - he certainly had a different perception on a lot of jokes, which made him more unique. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 07:28
  - That first joke is one I've heard multiple women say in social settings. - David Jan 20, 07:22 1
    - Agreed on all. Also, I'm gonna wager the poster wasn't her idea. I can't imagine she'd be given that kind of control for her first film. - Jim Jan 20, 07:25
Happy National Cheese Lovers Day, everybody! -- nm - ML Jan 20, 07:00
