Our Vudu is lacking in Van Damme, Steven Seagal and Chuck Norris movies. If I had to add a few, which would I add? -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 08:29 10
- Bloodsport, Out for Justice, and the Octogon and Silent Rage from Norris. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 08:34
- Bloodsport is all you need. -- nm - Shaun Feb 19, 08:33

  - Is there a girl jumping out of a birthday cake? Is there GBUSE being a bad guy? -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 08:33
  - that quote is from Out For Justice. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 08:33
  - oh god - stop. my cube mates think I'm ill. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 08:32

What is "Clooney Face"? Slightly wider eyes, pinched eyebrows, and a half-open mouth? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 08:27 3
- in this case it's specific to 'Hail Caesar'. Historically it's as you described while at the same time looking out and under his eyebrows to express - Diva Feb 19, 08:31
- wide eyes (in awe), mouth slightly agap, head tilted back...chin, lips, cheeks quivering...a trickle of sweat running down the side. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 08:30 1

HBO has renewed Vinyl for a second season -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 19, 08:26 3
- its awful - Epiphany Feb 19, 08:31 2
  - it's more flawed to me than Boardwalk Empire. i just don't think Bobby Canavale has whatever the it factor for a series lead needs to have - sweet baboo Feb 19, 08:34 1
    - I feel Boardwalk Empire had more characters to gravitate to , Vinyl's have no redeemable qualities at all -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 08:37
Proposal: While gas prices are this low the federal government should impose increases in the gasoline tax with all proceeds used for infrastructure -- (edited) - pmb Feb 19, 08:21 14
- So the gas stations set their price at $2.00 a gallon and keep the profit instead of passing along tax revenue? -- nm - znufrii Feb 19, 08:31 2
  - There would have to be some mechanism for setting a market price. -- nm - pmb Feb 19, 08:33
  - You are a bad person. - Spawn Feb 19, 08:33
- Uhm, Obama has already proposed this, yes? -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 08:22 10
  - Did I miss this? If so my apologies. I hadn't heard this. -- nm - pmb Feb 19, 08:25 9
    - Actually, I think it was just a $10 per barrel tax. So carry on. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 08:26 8
      - I think PA proposed a separate tax. so we would pay $.25 per gallon more in taxes than anyone. awesome! - sp commander amanda jones Feb 19, 08:29 3
        
        just get your gas in Jersey like I do -- nm - decline Feb 19, 08:33
        
        I could be wrong but I think that actually happens a lot. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 08:31 1
        
        Yeah, we have state, county and city taxes on gas. -- nm - pmb Feb 19, 08:32
      - Yeah, I think his tax is also permanent, while my proposal is theoretically temporary. -- nm - pmb Feb 19, 08:28 3
        
        Do temp taxes ever really end? - Spawn Feb 19, 08:30 2
        
        no they don't -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 08:32
        
        Well by its terms (as I propose them) it's dependent on the price of gas. So it wouldn't really go away (i.e. it could come back if gas prices dipped - pmb Feb 19, 08:32
For those that may have missed the Loot Crate Fifth Element Multi pass, EE is going to be selling them. -- (link) - sycor Feb 19, 08:20 1

RIP Harper Lee -- (link) - Remlik Feb 19, 07:34 11
- she lived just long enough to ruin her literary hero's legacy -- nm - ML Feb 19, 07:51 3
  - She suffered from dementia or alzheimer's for many years. "Go Set a Watchman" was not her fault. - Mop Feb 19, 08:31
  - I'm still firmly in the camp that *she* didn't. -- nm - iSpam Feb 19, 08:27 1

  - If he becomes a zombie you can say you saw it live -- nm - Bacon Feb 19, 07:34 1
    - Which would make you a zombie-originalist prompting him to spare you from the brain-eating portion of the apocalypse. -- nm - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 19, 07:41
Remember when the #6 team in the country lost to an 0-13 team last night? That was awesome. -- nm - ML Feb 19, 07:21 13
- Meanwhile, the entire Big 12 seems to be conspiring to hand KU another championship. -- nm - Negabaronic Middle-Aged Forehead Feb 19, 07:28 9

  - Just like every other year then -- nm - ML Feb 19, 07:31
  - That's fine with me...all the better when they Rock Choke Jayhawk out of the tourney. :) -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:29 6
    - This team should go very deep. Love the team this year. Tough guards do well in March. -- nm - Krusty Feb 19, 07:57 2
      - I've paid absolutely no attention this season. Since Mizzou has become a laughing stock of a train wreck, all I have is wishing ill on KU. :) -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 08:01 1
        
        I get that completely. I miss those games so much. - Krusty Feb 19, 08:09

    - k -- nm - decline Feb 19, 07:19
we watched Straight Outta Compton last night. Now, it's a good movie, telling a really interesting story, BUT -- (edited) - Andie Feb 19, 07:12
I didn't think I'd wake up today to an editorial in the WaPo by Charles Koch expressing fundamental agreement with a couple of Bernie's core arguments. -- (link*) - ML Feb 19, 07:10
Bery, I'd like to request that B2 be memory-holed in its entirety. - ML Feb 19, 07:07 5

So 1 more quick thing about the ear bug - seeing as how quick that happened, I'm kinda surprised we've ever seen something like it before. (spoils) - Jim Feb 19, 07:05

LIR: Lolli Popp. Her parents must have really hated her -- nm - oblique Feb 19, 07:04
The Witch 89% ; Risen 52% ; Race 60% -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:03 42
- *makes the Clooney Face* -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:09 4
  - L3 - Diva Feb 19, 07:10 3
    - The Clooney Face may be the gateway joke to "Hail, Caesar!" that gets me to watch it a 2nd time. - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:15 2
      - Would that it were so simple. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 07:40 1
        
        say it like me. - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:45
- that Risen number is horrible -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 07:08
- One of BOP's reviewers says The Witch is the best horror movie in at least two years. -- nm - David Feb 19, 07:04 35
  - It got 4 stars (out of 4) in today's Chicago Tribune. -- nm - pmb Feb 19, 08:12
  - I think just calling it horror though will set expectations incorrectly. I'd say it's 75% The Village, and 25% Drag Me To Hell. -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 07:13 1
    - I mean, I don't really think I'd call it "scary", but for the first time ever I really understood the term "spine-tingling". -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 07:15
  - Did you see the predicted #s for the weekend? (less than $3M) What happened then? bad promotion? -- nm - MDH Feb 19, 07:09 29
    - The next ad I see for The Witch will be the first. -- nm - David Feb 19, 07:09 28

      - there's some stuff in there at chills me. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:13 1
        
        baaa -- nm - satan goat Feb 19, 07:15
      - I've actually seen 1. But it seems to be getting a lot of word of mouth. Like, horror fans have been waiting for an actual good horror movie. -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:11 24
        
        I've seen that weird goat thing hop-dancing about 3 times now and conversely it's freaked me out about 8 times. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 07:13
        
        the first time I watched the trailer, it creeped the fuck out of me. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 07:13 22
        
        yeah, the commercials for it always come on right before I go to bed and freak me out -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:13 21
        
        as I get older, I am much less tolerant of horror films. - groiny Feb 19, 07:15 20
        
        Same here. I can't deal with them. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 19, 07:24
        
        Torture porn has helped to ruin the genre. -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:18 14
        
        the Hostels and Touristas certainly pushed the envelope. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 07:20
        
        agreed. I have no patience for it. It's not scary, it's fetishistic. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:19 12
        
        I pretty much watched the above movies once, and never have to watch them again. - groiny Feb 19, 07:21
        
        I'll take that last shot in Blair Witch over any of that torture porn shit for something really terrifying. -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:21 10
        
        agreed wholeheartedly -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 07:23
        
        absolutely. one of the most chilling shots in film. (spoilers for BLAIR) - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:23 7
        
        as I've said before, I literally ran home from the subway at one point after seeing BLAIR - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:26 6
        
        Lol...my reaction was similar. I came home to en empty house. Came in the front door, hung up my coat - Jim Feb 19, 07:29 5
        
        everyone has a blair witch story which just shows how great that movie really was - Epiphany Feb 19, 07:36 1
        
        you would have been within your lawful rights to find those kids and beat them to death with those rocks. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:38
        
        people who did not see that movie the first week in the theater have no idea. -- nm - groiny Feb 19, 07:30 2
        
        Heh. Saw the sneak (with Iron Giant), so I had to wait even longer for more people to see it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 08:09
        
        I walked out of the theatre almost sick to my stomach. I didn't need or want to puke, but it was a similar feeling. - Shaun Feb 19, 08:04
        
        word -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:22
        
        I've gotten much more selective. I enjoy a thoughtful horror movie. I find that I am much more frightened by... - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:18 1
        
        ...puppies. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 19, 07:20
        
        This is me as well -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 07:18
        
        movies have changed. rather than Freddy/Michael/Jason killing people who deserve it you get creepy scary shit -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:17
  - Britney Spears looks like a witch now -- nm - budice Feb 19, 07:05 1
    - Relevant. -- nm - David Feb 19, 07:07
Sneaks up behind Diva and hits her over the head with a steel chair. -- nm - amoxy Feb 19, 07:01 8

  - I figured my only shot was a cheap shot...If you are still standing, I am toast...You win -- nm - amoxy Feb 19, 07:07 1
    - our friendship will weather this storm. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 07:07
  - Throw his ass through a table...you don't have to take that shit! -- nm - Jim Feb 19, 07:05 4
    - I'm hearing Jim Ross screaming into the mic now... - Mel Profit Feb 19, 07:08
    - I nicked his hamstrings and knees yesterday out of pity so he'd just stay down. smh... - Diva Feb 19, 07:07 2
      - Just end this, go for the penis. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 19, 07:40
