Star Wars Ep. VIII will move from May 2017 to December 15, 2017 -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 11:44 22
- So they are content with a 200mil/750mil performer instead of going for 250/650 -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 11:47 3
  - they are also reportedly tweaking the script so no rush -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 11:48 2
    - Yeah, we have decided that killing of Rey in the opening sequence might not be such a good idea. -- nm - Disney Jan 20, 11:51 1
      - *films the whole movie, forgetting that Rey was in it* -- nm - Disney Jan 20, 11:52
- Disney must like money. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 20, 11:46 17
  - the interesting thing is the next Avatar is also scheduled for that Xmas -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 11:47 16
    - I haven't paid attention to BO trends like I did when I played "that other game" but I thought at the time that... - Mel Profit Jan 20, 11:53 15
      - I think the audience would expand, but the physical infrastructure (enough IMAX screens, etc) would limit how much the movies could make -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 12:07 5
        
        That smells right. I can't imagine, even with all the movie complex dev of the last decade that they could accommodate both - Mel Profit Jan 20, 12:08 1
        
        Especially with the "deal" Disney gave the theaters for Episode VII. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:10
        
        Avatar 2 hasn't even begun filming yet, which for Cameron tells me Disney is confident he won't have it ready by then -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 12:08 1
        
        Yeah, this wouldn't surprise me. -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 12:20
        
        (But Star Wars 8 would be the clear winner. I don't see the enthusiasm for another Avatar) -- nm - Roger More Jan 20, 12:07
      - maybe, but without knowing what Avatar 2 is even about yet i wouldn't want to be going up against Ep. VIII -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 11:55 8
        
        I think Avatar 2 is about "being Avatar 2". I don't think the story much matters. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Jan 20, 11:59 5
        
        i would be surprised if i care enough about Avatar 2 to even pay to see it. i expect to pay to see Ep. VIII multiple times - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 12:02 4
        
        This. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 12:07
        
        Welcome to the right side. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:04 2
        
        i haven't changed -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 12:05 1
        
        You just converged. - Spawn Jan 20, 12:06
        
        Good counter-programming - Spawn Jan 20, 11:56 1
        
        it will be litmus test, will the public go black...or blue? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 20, 11:59
Let's go Spurs. -- nm - CQ Jan 20, 11:43 1

Chip has put on some weight... - The Death Sceire Jan 20, 11:40 1
- Did he just say he is a pretty black and white guy? -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:42
I just cut the cord. Done with cable/satellite. -- nm - Ender Jan 20, 11:40 2
- ! good luck -- nm - Pippy Vegas Jan 20, 11:45
- You win this round. -- nm - Skynet Jan 20, 11:41
I'd love to got to a Heart show with Diva. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 11:36 7
- Saw them in the early 90s, was great. Nothing At All was the current release -- nm - Bacon Jan 20, 11:53
- Heart/Jett/Cheap Trick 7/24 Mansfield, Mass -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:40 4
  - I just bought tickets for that show here in Chicago. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 11:41 2
    - I think it will be a lot of fun -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 12:00
    - I heard a radio ad this morning for it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:47
  - I saw Cheap Trick in college. Was a fun show. -- nm - TWuG Jan 20, 11:41
- That would be epic. They are one I'd like to see live. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 11:38
a "Snowbank with wheels" given ticket in Ontario -- (link) - Beaker Jan 20, 11:31 1
- that person was a moron and they are lucky they just got a ticket. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 11:34
Drove across town to the recycler. Only 3 or 4 people in line. The last one had a pile of 12 or more trash bags....guess I'll go back later :/ -- nm - Meg Jan 20, 11:23 1
- sell your bag to the one with 12 -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 20, 12:00
I saw Queensryche on their Empire tour in a full arena. Three days ago, I saw an ad for them playing an Indian casino in Idaho -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:21 35
- was it Queensryche or Geoff Tate and the Music of Queensryche? -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 11:29 26
  - unfortunately, Queensryche - though without Tate and DeGarmo, I don't know how they feel they can keep using the name -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:31 24
    - cause they won the lawsuit they brought against Tate -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 11:44 23
      - yes, I know they can, but should they? -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:45 22
        
        imagine if Harrison and Starr kept touring under the name The Beatles -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:46 20
        
        lots of bands do it. - groiny Jan 20, 11:48 19
        
        thats why I had to laugh when I saw that "Journey" concert listing -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:50 18
        
        Bands that have succeeded trying this: AC/DC, Van Halen... - Spawn Jan 20, 11:52 17
        
        most of the time, the lead singer is the guy most associated with the band, so it is a tough sell. - Disney Jan 20, 11:54 4
        
        Sad, but true. Motley Crue is my most hated example of this. - Spawn Jan 20, 11:57 3
        
        that Corabi cd is pretty damn good. but yeah it wasn't the same -- nm - Remlik Jan 20, 12:07 1
        
        I chucked it out of my convertible at 90mph in Florida. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:09
        
        I am going to hate Blink 182 without Tom DeLonge. - groiny Jan 20, 11:59
        
        actually, I think AC/DC's second incarnation was superior to the original - crash davis Jan 20, 11:53 11
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:56
        
        no, sir, I agree with you. - groiny Jan 20, 11:55 9
        
        the all time champ in being better with a switched lineup from the original is, of course, Fleetwood Mac -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:57 8
        
        Some of those old 60's soul groups have had so many line up changes I don't think any original members left or even living -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 20, 12:07
        
        Genesis would be an answer too -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 11:58 6
        
        I do not know the Mac history but after posting I did think of Genesis. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:59 5
        
        Nicks and Buckingham joined Mac on their TENTH lineup change -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 12:02 1
        
        Ah, then agreeance. - Spawn Jan 20, 12:04
        
        Didn't Metallica give Mustane the boot? -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 12:00 2
        
        yes -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 12:04 1
        
        I am not much of a Metallica fan. But glad they booted him so we got Symphony of Destruction. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 12:05
        
        if they want to make any money. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 11:46
  - Them opening on the Hysteria In the Round tour was *awesome*. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:30
- that is a lot of the bands from the hair band era. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 11:22 6
  - that makes me feel old and busted -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:25 5
    - well..... - groiny Jan 20, 11:26 4
      - I hope Spawn accidentally hits you with a sticky grenade -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:27 3
        
        hey - groiny Jan 20, 11:28 2
        
        okay, I take it back. Want to ride in my warthog? -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:33 1
        
        no -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 11:43
- that's a crime - oblique Jan 20, 11:22
Plan(et) Nine -- (link) - oblique Jan 20, 11:19 1
- OFFS -- nm - Pluto Jan 20, 11:31
[deleted] 36
- are these interns paid?, could it effect the write up by the giftee for future job placement? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 20, 11:57 1
  - and if they are paid, did you hit them up for a Judgenation ? -- nm - decline Jan 20, 11:58
- If it had been a male attorney, would he gift flowers? I think the thank-you should be non-gendered. -- nm - mara Jan 20, 11:36 6
  - I got flowers at the office once, I was really pleasantly surprised. Flowers are nice for everyone. -- nm - Max Jan 20, 11:38 5
    - I don't disagree that flowers are nice for everyone - and I'd certainly take pictures - but it would be weird to me. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 11:58
    - I wasn't sure. If he'd do it for a male, then it's fine. -- nm - mara Jan 20, 11:43 3
      - i don't know if I would worry about that. I think the gift should be a *thing that person likes*. Different people like different things. I don't -- (edited) - Andie Jan 20, 11:51 2
        
        It might be hard to tell if a woman "likes flowers." I mean, the intern might think, hey, she loved the ones she got last June. But maybe - mara Jan 20, 12:04 1
        
        well, sure, we can speculate a million ways. i am just saying, if she likes flowers, then great. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 12:08
- We often get gifts from former interns. A big bouquet would be unusual, but a gift is a gift, hopefully. - Max Jan 20, 11:33 3
  - what do the hot ones give you? -- nm* - Beaker Jan 20, 11:34 1
    - fake phone numbers - Max Jan 20, 11:36
  - you gotta fake a letter from HR Mom to the future interns: "All parting gifts should be directed to Max, in his office" -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 11:34
- sure -- nm - decline Jan 20, 11:30
- I would have chosen something else. Is it possible for flowers to be platonic? Meh. - con_carne Jan 20, 11:29 1
  - in my experience, it absolutely is possible; and they totally can be work appropriate. -- nm - b. Jan 20, 11:58
- Not necessarily inappropriate, but weird. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 11:27 4
  - Get a Thank You card with a gift card instead. Flowers have emotion attached to them, imo. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 11:28 3
    - this reminds me that we've discussed something like this in the not-that-distant past, and I was surprised at how many guys felt this way. -- nm - b. Jan 20, 12:02
    - Just a thank you note is more than enough. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 11:59
    - Gift card, for an attorney? - Spawn Jan 20, 11:43
- Yes, as long as there is no subtext. -- nm - Spawn Jan 20, 11:25 1
  - There's always subtext with flowers. If I were a gossipy coworker, I would talk -- nm - con_carne Jan 20, 11:26
- i asked my PD clinic attorney out for dinner -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 11:24 2
  - was he hawt? -- nm - decline Jan 20, 11:29 1
    - SHE was - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 11:31
- yes -- nm - Pippy Vegas Jan 20, 11:21
- Sure. -- nm - spamlet Jan 20, 11:20
- Are they still working together? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 20, 11:20
- with, under, gay? :) -- nm - oblique Jan 20, 11:19
- seriously, my gut says 'depends on the flowers' -- nm - crash davis Jan 20, 11:19 5
  - yah, that's the only hesitation I have for saying a simple yes. -- nm - b. Jan 20, 11:56
  - [deleted] 1
    - a bouquet of red roses, might be weird. a more formal floral arrangement, not really. -- nm - Andie Jan 20, 11:28
  - Tulips? - groiny Jan 20, 11:21 1
    - "You can put your roses on the piano and your tulips on the organ." -- nm - mara Jan 20, 11:22
