        me too. -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 1, 08:33
        
        your port is 2 billon dollars smaller than mine. So your gain sounds exceptional. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 08:32 2
        
        sure, but honestly, at a certain point, you just can't spend more. it's not like i'm scraping up cash to buy stuff. :) -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 08:34 1
        
        I'm in that place with 2.4B in cash. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 08:39

Spawn,...it'll be an adaption, they won't get Hulk, Spidey, Hawkeye, Red Skull or any of the Marvel characters... - Remlik Mar 1, 08:13 18
- Just reading the summary of the Old Man Logan storyline, they are going to change a ton. It's too F-ed up for general public. -- nm - volnelk Mar 1, 08:20 6
  - it is so so awesome. -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 08:25
  - R rated, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:21 4
    - It also essentially sticks a fork in all the X-men movies, doesn't it? -- nm - volnelk Mar 1, 08:22 3
      - Alt universe future. Getting the pubic to understand that will be the biggest hurdle. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:23 1
        
        nah. people get that stuff now. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 08:23
      - nah, it is essentially an alternate reality -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 08:23
- I am hoping there might be some sharing ala Spider-Man. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:16 1
  - you never know. I still think there was a backroom handshake for use of the Deadpool spoils... - Remlik Mar 1, 08:20
- right off the top I'd suggest - Beaker Mar 1, 08:16 8
  - The Blob is not quite right. Hmm. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:20 1
    - see below -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 08:22
  - those would all work.... -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 08:19 5
    - or, if they wanted to include the FF side of things - Beaker Mar 1, 08:20 4
      - if they still retain the rights then yeah that's perfect. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 08:24
      - Whoomp, there it is. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:23 2
        
        and I'd use Doom over Magneto in my initial post too. -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 08:24 1
        
        Agreed. Magneto vs Logan has always been rather dumb. - Spawn Mar 1, 08:30
Cespedes rode a horse to spring training today -- (link) - Beaker Mar 1, 08:06 3
- You know he picked the horse when he couldn't put a saddle on the pig. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 08:09 1
  - that's Thursday -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 08:28
- I am loving this guy. He's a Buzzfeed list incarnate. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 08:09

        agreed -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 08:32
        
        Yeah, they could have done better, but the movie hit the right notes book-to-movie. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:32
        
        he was better in Jaws 2, and that is saying something. -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 08:31
        
        I get that, but the concept was just so far out there. -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 08:30 4
        
        Not like, say, the Mist? -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:31 2
        
        it's......a......car..... -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 08:35 1
        
        It's less out there than "a serial killer tire". -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 08:56
        
        as was Maximum Overdrive..... - groiny Mar 1, 08:31

    - I would take early King over latter King for all intents. -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 08:12 1

    - still in my top 5 -- nm - decline Mar 1, 08:09 3
      - Yeah, but for purposes of this poll, I think you skip it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:09 2
        
        ok, fine. Carrie -- nm - decline Mar 1, 08:17
        
        if just for the Vampire floating outside the window scene, it is close. - groiny Mar 1, 08:13
- In order (finished now, I think ;-) ) -- (edited) - Beryllium Mar 1, 08:06

If anyone cares, update re: my mother. - Covington Mar 1, 07:42 8

- The Mist. Full list. - Spawn Mar 1, 07:49 8
  - Dolores Claiborne if I'm going off the list/timeline -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 07:56
  - agreed. that list is really hit or miss. -- nm - colin Mar 1, 07:53
  - oh Needful Things. Now that one screamed to be done over 13 episodes on TV. Man would that be awesome -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 07:52 2
    - Worst movie of his. When you take into account the quality of the book and the shittiness of the film. This takes the cake as the worst ever. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 07:53 1
      - TV was the way to go. There was just too much, but now it could play out like GOT. I'd pay to see it on TV -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 07:54
  - A lot of the recent ones weren't theatrical releases. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 07:51
  - I don't think you can really count any of the sequels as his movies -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 07:50 1
    - Agreed. I just CnP. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 07:50
- I liked The Mist - but I might be alone on that. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 07:48 12
  - I have hopes for Cell this year too -- nm - decline Mar 1, 07:49 10
    - Cell has great potential. The first scene of the movie should be effing spectacular.... - Jim Mar 1, 07:51 9
      - Agreed. I'm looking forward to watching the new show on Hulu too (can't ever remember the date title) - oblique Mar 1, 07:54 6
        
        11-22-63 I watched the premiere. I liked it. Need to catch up. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 07:55 5
        
        do you need a Hulu account to watch ? -- nm - decline Mar 1, 08:01 3
        
        good question - I tried to go to my Roku Hulu channel and I couldn't get on. Is it free for an account? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 08:08 2
        
        Yes, you need a Hulu account to watch. My suggestion - wait until all 8 episodes have been released (Ep 3 dropped yesterday) and then do the free - Jim Mar 1, 08:30 1
        
        thanks. I will do that -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 08:31
        
        I've enjoyed the first three. Good setup. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 08:00
      - yup - and I like the casting of both Cusack and SLJ in their roles -- nm - decline Mar 1, 07:53
      - Agreed. That is the last King book I read. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 07:53
  - I loved The Mist, but overall, I do not think many do. -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 07:49
- Some would say The Mist. There haven't been many movies based on his work since 1999, though. -- nm - Inigo Mar 1, 07:48
- Green Mile -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 07:48 13
  - I haven't seen this. should I? -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 1, 07:49 12
    - If you haven't read the book, try not to get spoiled. -- nm - mara Mar 1, 08:21 1
      - Agreed. And make it a priority to see it. Not what you would expect it to be. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 08:22
    - immediately -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 07:53 3
      - MCD is fantastic in it -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 07:57 2
        
        perfect casting -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 07:58 1
        
        it has been so long since I watched it, I should watch it again soon. -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 07:59
    - me neither. Never got around to it. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 07:50
    - Laws, yes. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 07:49
    - Yes. Yes you should -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 07:49
    - Yeah, it's good. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 07:49

  - This -- nm - amoxy Mar 1, 07:48
- 1408? -- nm - Ender Mar 1, 07:47 5
  - Loved the story, never saw the movie. I'm a bad fan. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 07:52 3
    - I did not care for it -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 07:55 2
      - it was all over the place.... had some scary stuff with no real rules of engagement. -- nm - colin Mar 1, 07:57 1
        
        like alot of his movies, there is potential all over the place, it just never hits. -- nm - groiny Mar 1, 07:57
  - Yep. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 1, 07:50

Suspended Minnesota Golden Gophers basketball players linked to sex tape -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 1, 07:37 1
- Fucking morons. Let's hope at least it was consensual and the women were over 18, or they just admitted to numerous crimes. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 07:58
Bery - Eastwood the Younger definitely has the look to be Roland. I've only seen one of his movies though, so I'm not sure he has the chops for it. - Jim Mar 1, 07:37

some the money Trump lent to his campaign was used to pay his companies -- (link) - decline Mar 1, 07:34 8

  - I was just thinking about that too - eag Mar 1, 08:37
  - You're suggesting he cares or will even bother. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 08:01
  - And yet he claims he has less conflict than any other candidate -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 08:01
- And this surprises people? - znufrii Mar 1, 07:40
- Yep. That was my big takeaway from the Oliver piece. His money is loaned, not donated, so he can pay himself back any time prior to the convention. -- nm - volnelk Mar 1, 07:40
- not shocked -- nm - Beaker Mar 1, 07:38
