    - Not if you are that picky! -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:48
- Have fun! I saw them open for the Stones some 20 years ago, loved their set -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:39
- Nice! -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 09:37 2
  - It was surprisingly easy. the Online Waiting Room. - Mel Profit Feb 12, 09:38 1
    - So glad you got them. Enjoy! -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 10:22
Redband trailer for The Boss. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 12, 09:29 [youtube] 25
- this genre, the actors, the director... just doesn't appeal to me at all. -- nm - colin Feb 12, 10:04
- That is the reddest red band trailer I've ever seen. -- nm - David Feb 12, 09:49
- That kind was all over the place. Some cringe-worthy moments, some hilarious moments. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 09:38 5
  - Wow. The non-redband from months ago was much better. Odd. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:41 4
    - I agree...I almost wanted to watch the movie from that trailer, but this one turns my stomach -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:49 3
      - I would have paid to see the first. Now? I might watch on video. -- nm - Spawndroid Feb 12, 10:16 1
        
        who are you people? -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:17
      - I am kind of the reverse. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:49
- amusing -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:36 16
  - Yeah, when it first dropped I posted that it is the first MMCAR movie I may make a point of seeing. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:37 15
    - if you did not see Bridesmaids or Heat, there is no helping you at this point. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:44 14
      - Yes, but Bridesmaids was not her movie. And Heat was one of my favorite movies of 1995. She did a remake? No thanks. -- nm* - Spawn Feb 12, 09:46 13
        
        Bridesmaids may have well been her movie, since she stole the show. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:49
        
        I liked Spy a tonne more than I thought I would. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 09:47 11
        
        I really dislike Melissa McCarthy for the most part, but am digging her in Gilmore Girls - amoxy Feb 12, 09:51 10
        
        You would probably like Spy. It's not at all crass. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 10:11 2
        
        I did like Spy, mostly for Jason Statham -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 10:16 1
        
        "Where'd you get a suit?" -- nm - landbeck Feb 12, 10:24
        
        how do you dislike Melissa McCarthy? - groiny Feb 12, 09:54 6
        
        I don't know, have you seen some of her movie choices? -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:59 5
        
        yes, and I like several of them. - groiny Feb 12, 10:01 4
        
        I'm not a huge fan of hers, which I why I was surprised at how much I liked Spy. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 10:03 3
        
        she is the female Chris Farley to me. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:05 2
        
        When her appearance isn't the joke, she owns it. When it is the joke, it sucks. - Will Hunting Feb 12, 10:22
        
        Maybe that is the problem, other than his work on SNL, I didn't like Farley's work in movies -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 10:19
Free Lunch! This is the start of a very good weekend... -- (edited) - Diva Feb 12, 09:27 8
- Excellent. Free Lunch is good. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 09:48
- that sounds completely awesome -- nm - Epiphany Feb 12, 09:48 3
  - i'm pretty excited. it marks the first real extended time to myself since the show closed. -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 09:57 2
    - I imagine you doing a Mary Poppins twirl in the middle of your house - Epiphany Feb 12, 09:58 1
      - yonh - thx! -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 10:05
- Depends. Is it like free will hunting grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch? -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 09:29 2
  - how dare you. -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 09:36
  - Nuke, baby! Nuke! -- nm - Palin Feb 12, 09:36
Cruz campaign pulls Rubio attack ad because an Woman featured in it was -- (link) - amoxy Feb 12, 09:23 10
- She was the star of Black Tie Nights! - David Feb 12, 09:41
- On the other hand... THIS is one hell of an ad. -- (link) - Ender Feb 12, 09:38 [youtube]
- Who was she on Voyager? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:27 6
  - here -- (link) - Spawn Feb 12, 09:28
  - spoilers - amoxy Feb 12, 09:27 4
    - Oh. You know, I don't think I've seen that episode. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:28 3
      - It's a decent ending, with a couple of issues -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:32 2
        
        Having all the roles played by Sirtis and Frakes was odd... -- nm - Ender Feb 12, 09:48 1
        
        Heh -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 10:19
- heh. The irony of her line. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:24
I've always been nostalgic for the town I sort of grew up in (until I was five), so this change is going to be super weird. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:22 10
- "She's been quite a going concern over the years," mayor says. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:23 8
  - the mayor is from the 1950s, apparently. - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:24 7
    - I googled. Had never heard the phrase. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:25 6
      - I'd heard it, but I didn't realize it was so big in the accounting world (I just googled as well) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:28 5
        
        I think my ear always heard it as "a growing concern". -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:29 4
        
        That means something different to me. The grow op houses on the corner are a growing concern. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:33 2
        
        Actually, it almost means the opposite. Hmm. I guess I have never heard it, then. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:35 1
        
        The garbage pile at the pig farm is a growing concern. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:56
        
        this -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 09:30
- (Also, my dad's boat is moored at the marina about 20 metres away from that resort) - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:23
Bouquet idea for V-Day. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 12, 09:21
It's a Good Friday for this joke -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:19
Congressional douchebag of the day. -- (link) - Mop Feb 12, 09:09
Help me decide if I should be offended. High schooler wears WWII Captain America costume to movie theme spirit day, gets in trouble. - Mop Feb 12, 09:02 24
- Cap uses an ammo belt? -- nm - Znufrii Feb 12, 09:44 4
  - From the WW days. Canteen, compass, etc. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:47 2
    - Ah, missed that part - Znufrii Feb 12, 09:49 1
      - yeah, it is more of a cosplay costume than one you wear to school. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:57
  - it is not really an ammo belt, more like Batman's utility belt. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:45
- cultural oppression, bruh -- nm* - mr plow Feb 12, 09:23
- No. I think it sounds like everything was handled well. I think the sister's "outrage" is ridiculous. - JaxSean Feb 12, 09:15
- They're a bunch of pantywastes and I'm not just saying that as a Cap fan. - The Death Sceire Feb 12, 09:13
- With as many school shootings as there have been I'm less and less critical of admins who reject combat gear likenesses -- nm - Max Feb 12, 09:13 1
  - (but don't set the kids up for failure by inviting them to wear costume and not provide a 10 page list of prohibited items) -- nm - Max Feb 12, 09:23
- OK, maybe take the belt away, but why the helmet???? -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 09:12 2
  - Didn't you watch The Flash this week? - Spawn Feb 12, 09:19 1
    - Twice! -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:21
- You should go and burn the school down. That'll teach them. -- nm - spamlet Feb 12, 09:07
- Sounds like he would have gotten in trouble even if he had worn an Elsa costume -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:07
- the kid should be flogged -- nm - decline Feb 12, 09:05
- Ammo belt but no weapon? Eh. -- nm - mara Feb 12, 09:05 5
  - this is what i think. and i have no idea what the problem with the helmet is. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 09:06 3
    - Pretty sure the school officials never saw the first Cap movie. The outfit to them seems more soldier than Cap and maybe they do not like soldiers? -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:10 2
      - okay, but, in a country that glorifies your armed forces (which is neither good nor bad), someone as a soldier-superhero *without a weapon* is a prett - Andie Feb 12, 09:12 1
        
        Most schools ban all kinds of weapons and hints of weapons. In these times if I were in the hall and I saw him, my first thought would be school - Spawn Feb 12, 09:18
  - Guns don't kill people, bullets do. -- nm - LMS Feb 12, 09:06
- It is on the Internet. Of course you should be offended -- nm - oblique Feb 12, 09:05 1
  - I am offended by this. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 09:07
I guess the Wachowskis were overdue to make a bad movie. -- nm - David Feb 12, 08:57 4
- have they made a good one since Speed Racer? -- nm - Remlik Feb 12, 08:57 3
  - I think I need to see this speed racer . -- nm - Loyola Feb 12, 09:05 1
    - Color porn -- nm - ML Galaxy Feb 12, 09:09
  - Cloud Atlas -- nm - David Feb 12, 08:58
And there goes another song that I disliked in the past but a movie scene changed that - amoxy Feb 12, 08:56 4
- 25 Spawn Points -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 08:59
- heh. -- nm - Remlik Feb 12, 08:57 2
  - And actually, I wasn't all that crazy about "Angel in the Morning" before -- nm - amoxy Feb 12, 09:02 1
    - I always kind of liked that song. - groiny Feb 12, 09:27
If Donald Trump had an English accent -- (link) - LMS Feb 12, 08:54 [youtube] 2
- Nyu... -- nm - colin Feb 12, 10:11
- Man, the English are dicks! -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 09:34
Deadpool did 12.7MM for Thursday. -- nm - Diva Feb 12, 08:53
The 1%. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 12, 08:47 [Image] 2
- hee. (sidenote: I do always wonder what exists in that other .01% realm.) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 08:56
- heh -- nm - Epiphany Feb 12, 08:49
Satisfy your Valentine with a footlong. -- nm - Subway Feb 12, 08:46
If you've been to Disneyland you know Harbor Blvd. Great Wolf Lodge is about 2 miles south of there on Harbor. - Meg Feb 12, 08:37 2
- "Lets not go to Disneyland, lets go to Great Wolf Lodge!" - Spawn Feb 12, 08:41 1
  - Our city fathers are going all out to wrestle business away from DL. That part of town is now known as Anaheim Resort Area, Garden Grove. -- nm - Meg Feb 12, 08:57
Just in time for Valentine's Day!!! Apple Watch price dropped by $100. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 12, 08:37 2
- there is a march event upcoming, v.2 could be announced -- nm - mr plow Feb 12, 08:44
- *buys two* -- nm - Ted Cruz Feb 12, 08:39
the modern day adventures of Kylo Ren and Han Solo -- (link) - Remlik Feb 12, 08:27 2
- This is hilarious. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 08:43
- there's a .gif of Indiana shooting "Ren" in that iconic Indiana Jones scene. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Feb 12, 08:35
Remlik and Spawn in cartoon form... -- (link) - David Feb 12, 08:25 [Image] 16
- Burn. Also, Crimson Doubles licks the balls. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:46 15
  - I prefer it to Osiris, but Iron Banner still reigns supreme. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:00 2
    - Yep IB is awesome. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 09:04 1
      - Syndrome? - Spawn Feb 12, 09:45
  - it has kind of grown on me. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 08:50 11
    - I'm mainly referring to the drops overall. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:55 10
      - ah, yes, and supposedly the 320 ghost is an end of game drop. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 08:56 9
        
        When suicide farming is the 'best' way to farm for gear... -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 08:57 8
        
        It really isn't if it is an end of game drop, though. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:02 7
        
        Suiciding is the fastest way to get to the end of a match. Winning is irrelevant for drops. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 09:04 6
        
        I guess if you are not into actually playing Destiny, that is the way to go. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 09:05 5
        
        Coworker read a thread that some guys were using elastic bands to tie down their triggers and ToMing to death overnight. - Shaun Feb 12, 09:09 3
        
        lol. I actually have a theory that all that played will get the ghosts at the end of the thing. Postmaster. -- nm* - Spawn Feb 12, 09:10 2
        
        You saw the update I assume? 'Significant light increase' coming in Spring, major content release in the fall, and Destiny 2 at some point in 2017. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 09:11 1
        
        Yeah, not real happy. I see all our weapons and armor being made obsolete again. - Spawn Feb 12, 09:20
        
        Yeah I don't get it either. -- nm - Shaun Feb 12, 09:07
