        Agreed. -- nm - Spawndroid Jan 20, 15:54
        
        I don't love Goodfellas as much as everyone else. I don't care for Ray Liotta as an actor so that hurts the film for me. - Krusty Jan 20, 15:27 12

        Right. -- nm - Krusty Jan 20, 15:57
        
        well put. I was googling art terms to make the comparison but this is accurate. - Mel Profit Jan 20, 15:44 4
        
        i never read the original novel but apparently it was pretty pulpy. Coppola's genius was turning it into something more Shakespearean -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 15:46 3
        
        Mario Puzo wrote a Damn good book, others stuff of his was good to, makes a good read, ie the sicilian -- nm - Big Zebowgeiski Jan 20, 16:25

I'm at a talk on campus about the Malheur occupation. Packed house. -- nm - Mop Jan 20, 15:10 1

.639/gal with my Kroger points ($1 off) - $6.80 to fill my tank just now. How low can it go? -- nm - Covington Jan 20, 15:05 4
- The Middle East goal of killing US production has been extremely well done. -- nm - MDH Jan 20, 15:08 3
  - Amazing how increasing supply will have that effect on prices. - Strongbad Jan 20, 16:10
  - I'm not sure we are the primary target, honestly. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 15:10 1
    - Agreed. Plus, Iran is now back selling oil. I've read it's about Saudi Arabia trying to control the market more and push out other Arab countries. - Krusty Jan 20, 15:14

  - He is the next up after Trump and Cruz. Still a mess, but way better than those two. -- nm - GregW Jan 20, 15:13 2
    - Rubio's not the answer either. It really is the Republican Clown Car this year. -- nm - David Jan 20, 15:39
    - only marginally more than the other three. and that's assuming that all of the other three's votes would shift 100% to Rubio if they dropped out today -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 20, 15:17
- I can't decide just how delusional Jeb is and how long he might stick it out -- nm - ty97 Jan 20, 15:06 1
  - He just got Lindsey Graham's endorsement, so at least through South Carolina -- nm - Harvey Cat Jan 20, 15:24
Groiny, the agitated white folks definitely use BET and Black History Month as excuses to perpetuate their racist views. - TWuG Jan 20, 15:02 5
- Jumping in midstream here at some risk, but when people want something like BET to exist, it's so that voices that aren't normally given a chance can - Reagen Jan 20, 16:20 1
  - and I would point out with no small amount of irony that it's exactly the same reasoning by which Fox News exists - that they felt conservative - Reagen Jan 20, 16:28
- I find it an interesting topic, while it is apples and oranges to the Oscar debate really. - groiny Jan 20, 15:07
- Eminem. Debate over. -- nm - Spawndroid Jan 20, 15:05 1
  - *pats Spawn on the head* -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 15:08

      - Idris Elba is on his way over. -- nm - groiny Jan 20, 15:24
- If it tasted more like Coke Zero id be happy :) - iSpam Jan 20, 15:11 2
  - Heh, seriously. -- nm - kelly Jan 20, 15:12 1
    - (I told the woman at the coffee place that I hated the bitter taste, so she helped me find a type of bean that isn't so bitter.) -- nm - kelly Jan 20, 15:13

    - I take about 5 tbsp of sugar with each cup. So... There's that. -- nm - Mop Jan 20, 15:11 2
      - oh jesus, so you like coffee syrup then. - groiny Jan 20, 15:13 1
        
        It's a sugar delivery mechanism. -- nm - Mop Jan 20, 15:15
- I've never had a cup of coffee before. (A few sips of iced caps, though.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 15:00 3
  - I don't know that I'll like it enough to stick with it, but I really needed something to help with the caffeine withdrawal headaches once I cut back - kelly Jan 20, 15:09
  - Never. Never will. I mean, why? -- nm - Spawndroid Jan 20, 15:03
  - I think this is why I lean so heavily on soda. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 20, 15:00
- also, have you seen anything that Jerry Seinfeld's wife does with the veggies? - groiny Jan 20, 14:56 5
  - I have her first cookbook. I have never used it, though, as N loves his veggies. I don't have to hide anything. - kelly Jan 20, 15:00 4
    - oh, I am more thinking of maybe making it easier to work with it in puree form. - groiny Jan 20, 15:04 3
      - I'll have to take a look at it. - kelly Jan 20, 15:22 2
