Sounds like Elway's talking to Fitzpatrick now...and I think I'm coming around to this. -- nm - Jim Mar 11, 09:19 8
- Enjoy Fitzmagic. I was really hoping he'd stay but it doesn't look good. Not sure what we'll do without him because the coach doesn't like Geno. - Krusty Mar 11, 09:24 3
  - *rubs Jim's groin tenderly* don't listen to him baby -- nm - Feel the Fitzmagic Mar 11, 09:33

      - If a candidate gets 50% +1 vote Missouri is winner take all. If not, then it's not. - spamlet Mar 11, 09:25 2
        
        so with 4 candidates still in the race, this is unlikely -- nm - Strongbad Mar 11, 09:28 1
        
        On the GOP side, yes. But it will be winner take all on the Dem side. -- nm - spamlet Mar 11, 09:33

- Cloverfield did $1.7 million, and went to make $40 million on a holiday weekend. I'd say this is good enough to get the sequel to $30 million or more. -- nm - Inigo Mar 11, 08:27 8
  - do we think the fact that it wasn't in fact actually a sequel well-known to the general public? -- nm* - Andie Mar 11, 08:28 7

      - it's not a sequel. It's a side story. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 08:56 5

        As in, ran concurrent with? - Spawn Mar 11, 09:06 2
        
        I think the idea is that 'Cloverfield' is sort of like a theme, like the Twilight Zone, in a way. -- nm - Shaun Mar 11, 09:14 1
        
        this.... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 11, 09:18

  - we never watched the final season either. -- nm - Andie Mar 11, 07:57 2
    - I think you have to watch the final season, even though it was kind of a letdown. - groiny Mar 11, 07:58 1
      - I imagine the last season must go plaid, yes. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 08:10
  - it also suffers from some of the same shit that the Walking Dead people do... - groiny Mar 11, 07:57 5
    - there was a lot of... - Mel Profit Mar 11, 08:02 4

        spoilers - Mel Profit Mar 11, 08:17 2
        
        yeah, they had no idea how to take it from that point. -- nm - groiny Mar 11, 08:37
        
        You could point to the downward spiral beginning sooner - but that's a pretty good place to pinpoint where it really went off the rails. On the other - Jim Mar 11, 08:23
  - oh, don't get me wrong, I loved the entire series, but there are some questionable - groiny Mar 11, 07:54
