        Holy crap, they won. How did that happen? - Beryllium Apr 9, 22:05 1

Cruz sweeps Colorado convention as Trump campaign can't get its shit tight. -- (link) - znufrii Apr 9, 20:31 22

  - That "Dems could take back the House running against Trump" doesn't seem so far fetched now. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 21:31
  - Meh he had no chance in DC. Rubio and Kasich had it locked down. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 20:58 3
    - I think what he is saying is that Trump emailed people in DC to stand as delegates in Washington state -- nm - crash davis Apr 9, 21:26 2
      - What!?! That is hilarious. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 21:46

    - more lol. -- nm - znufrii Apr 9, 20:44
- man, a national Trump campaign would be an utter shitshow. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 20:38
- He cancelled appearances in CA, I'm wondering if he's trying a new way to sabotage his campaign, -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 9, 20:38 5
  - It's taken a while, but it looks like Trump's time at the top of the Republican heap is ending. - Mop Apr 9, 20:47 4
    - He's currently up 30% on both Cruz and Kasich in NY. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 20:57 3
      - So what you're saying is, there's a chance? -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 21:18
      - Does he have a chance to take all the delegates? -- nm - Tim Apr 9, 20:58 1
        
        I mean, anything is possible... -- (link) - znufrii Apr 9, 21:08
- The "elected" delegates are predominantly for Cruz. He's running an "actual" campaign for delegates, which really would pay off if brokered. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 20:34 1
  - Yup, he also did well in Iowa and Virginia today in that regard. After the first round of voting, those delegates will come in handy. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 9, 20:47
so fucked up -- nm - Beaker Apr 9, 20:09 1
- Have one for me. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 20:23

  - it moved to Georgia. -- nm - Diva Apr 10, 04:01
- Seriously? A 4th season? This is just madness. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 20:12 4
  - syndication is still a thing. -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 20:37
  - Insane. The viewership plummeted for this. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 20:18 2
    - It's not like they've got stars to pay. They've been able to slot in new people. This season was actually decent. -- nm - Ender Apr 9, 21:19
    - Friday night and owned by the network, so the threshold was lower. - nic to be determined Apr 9, 20:32

YDC: The closest theater to me in DC (14 screen) is switching to all reserved/recliner seating. - MDH Apr 9, 19:47 20
- There's now a few in the area, some additional thoughts. - MDH Apr 9, 20:20
- if you wear bifocals and fully recline, the screen is out of focus. I have a pair of single vision I use at reclining theatres. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 9, 20:13
- Reserved seating is all I go to anymore, I would love if my entire theatre switched -- nm - J Apr 9, 19:52 16
  - Is it much more expensive than a regular theater? -- nm - Krusty Apr 9, 20:02 7
    - Depends on the theater. One here is the same basically, one is $2 or so more. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 20:17
    - Thanks all! I figured it would be between $5-10 more than a regular theater. -- nm - Krusty Apr 9, 20:14
    - My friend introduced me to a theater like this that's a half hour or so from my house; it's considerably less expensive than the local theater. - kelly Apr 9, 20:11
    - Slightly but with better sound bigger screen it's worth it -- (link) - J Apr 9, 20:10 1
      - Just checked, it's two dollars more -- nm - J Apr 9, 20:12
    - Ours are not. -- nm - iSpam Apr 9, 20:08 1
      - Northside Indy has a lot of them. -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 20:10
  - We do not have them here. Do you get to select your seats when you purchase them? -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:54 7
    - Yes, so we always pick the same seats. No one behind us or beside us -- nm - J Apr 9, 19:58
    - Yes. -- nm - iSpam Apr 9, 19:56 3
      - Hmm. I still would not like it that much. Loud people in front of you would mean you could not move. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:58 2
        
        One of the benefits is that the size of the chairs means you're much further away from other people, and the seats almost deaden the sound. - Max Apr 9, 20:00 1
        
        Okay, that is pretty cool. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 20:03
    - when else would you? -- nm - the brain Apr 9, 19:56 1
      - I wondered if it might be like the old days of concerts when they just gave you what they deemed best available, which would suck. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:57
- i see things spur of the moment at Arclight all the time -- nm - the brain Apr 9, 19:51
Well the Minecraft Pi server starts up but as soon as I connect it crashes. I guess that's a partial victory. - spamlet Apr 9, 19:36
Douchebag rich kids are accidentally narcing on their parents through Instagram -- (link) - Reagen Apr 9, 19:33
8 seconds left, Warriors up 1, Grizzlies with the ball - prayformojo Apr 9, 19:27 20
- Whew -- nm - amoxy Apr 9, 19:35
- Ugh I really don't want them to break the record. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 19:33 16
  - the refs sure do. -- nm - mud Apr 9, 19:34 1
    - Yup -- nm - Krusty Apr 9, 19:35
  - Flip that and reverse it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:33
  - how come? -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 19:33 12
    - I'm tired of hearing so many people say he's better than Jordan. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 19:40 11
      - haven't heard that. -- nm - Diva Apr 10, 08:05
      - they aren't. don't worry about it -- nm - Beaker Apr 9, 20:08
      - I have yet to hear anyone say that. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:49
      - No one in their right mind says that. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 19:44 2
        
        I know, it's crazy, but I'd let to cut the head off that statement before it starts growing. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 19:46 1
        
        Unless Steph suddenly becomes a great defender, it won't. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:55
      - I am a GS fan and he is not better than Jordan...And most rational people would not think he is greater than Jordan -- nm - amoxy Apr 9, 19:43
      - havent heard that. I think he's the best since Jordan tho -- nm - mud Apr 9, 19:43 3
        
        Kobe -- nm - Krusty Apr 9, 19:55 2
        
        Best since Kobe? Maybe. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:56 1
        
        Duncan. - Krusty Apr 9, 19:58
- Thompson mauled him but no call. I don't know what the ref was looking at. -- nm - Krusty Apr 9, 19:31
- 0.8 secs! -- nm* - Spawn Apr 9, 19:30
Spawn and Remick, I hope your GnR show isn't too far into their tour. There already seemed to be some tension brewing last night. -- nm - Jnine Apr 9, 19:24 12
- I thibnk every show of theirs I have ever seen, there was some tension brewing. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 19:55
- was reading good reviews of it earlier today -- nm - Remlik Apr 9, 19:42 6
  - The show was great, but Slash seemed irritated Axl was late and didn't come out with the others They seemed OK later, but I don't think he's going -- nm - Jnine Apr 9, 20:19 5
    - to put up with it if it continues. -- nm - jnine Apr 9, 20:21
    - But Axl is late. Period. They should know this. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 20:21 3
      - You can know it and still be pissed. They were on the side stage waiting to come out for 10 minutes and then went back when Axl didn't come out. -- nm - jnine Apr 9, 20:24 2
        
        They will learn not to come out until he does. -- nm - Spawn Apr 9, 20:28
        
        They should just form a comedy band while he's not on stage. "Guns and No Rose" -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 20:26
- here's a review & setlist from last night -- (link) - Peglegpete Apr 9, 19:39
- Shocked. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 19:36
- uh oh. -- nm - Pippy Apr 9, 19:26
- this is my shocked face. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 19:24
David Cameron faces more questions after inheritance tax dodge revealed -- (link) - Reagen Apr 9, 19:23 5
- He'll be next to go, after the PM of Iceland. Cameron's become a distraction and the Tory's will want him out. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 20:09 4
  - He's a lame duck anyway, especially if Brexit goes through -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 20:10 3
    - I don't know if the Europeans wouldn't mind if Britain left at this point. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 20:16 2
      - The northerners would mind, the southerners not so much. But it would be a bad decision for the UK regardless -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 20:41 1
        
        No doubt. They'll want back in within a decade. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 21:15
Delegate Update" Tonight's Goals: Bernie 9, Hillary 5. Actual was 7/7. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 19:20
Reagen: regarding Sleepy Hallow (spoilers if anyone cares) - Mel Profit Apr 9, 19:11 7
- I left some broader thoughts about this on B2. Might not be entirely relevant, but it crossed my mind. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 19:20 3
  - spoils - nic to be determined Apr 9, 20:19 2
    - I guess I was misreading the cast composition on IMDb -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 20:25 1
      - It's not always uptodate for the current season. Or it's more about all the seasons on the cast list. -- nm - nic to be determined Apr 9, 20:48
- In the article where I found out about this - Reagen Apr 9, 19:14 2
  - this does not surprise me. it's the poster child for a show that had NO idea what to do with the success. they wrote scared. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 9, 19:16 1
    - If I were Tom Mison, what I would do next season is to start saying all my lines in an exaggerated Texan accent. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 19:18
Sure. The Canadiens beat the Lightning... NOW. I'm thinking the Lightning weren't even trying tonight. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 19:06
It was a tough fight, but I conceed that the Maple Leafs were in fact the worst team this year. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 19:04
I'm 30 minutes into the Big Short and I find it incredibly condescending. Margin Call is vastly superior. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 19:01 10
- The "hit the audience over the head" moment for me was *spoiler* - Roger More Apr 9, 20:08 1
  - I always miss the symbolism until someone points it out to me. - Mop Apr 9, 20:21
- I think part of it is meant to be that way. The housing crisis was not simple, it was complex, and people should listen up instead of assuming. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 19:43 4
  - it wasn't *that* complex - the brain Apr 9, 19:52 3
    - Exactly. The movie is predicated on people being stupid and not understanding what happened. - Mop Apr 9, 20:02 2
      - The movie's not wrong, on the whole. -- nm - znufrii Apr 9, 20:54
      - Though that's exactly what did happen, so... -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 20:09
- Now, f*ck off. -- nm - Margot Robbie in a bubble bath Apr 9, 19:03 2
  - That was the clincher. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 19:07 1
    - "It's like Chernobyl" scene is utterly terrifying. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 19:41
I was bored by much of Hardcore Henry but I had some fun with the end sequence so I'll give it a C -- nm - Dano Apr 9, 18:45
Golden State in some trouble tonight -- nm - prayformojo Apr 9, 18:43
Bacon, I need the name of a classy strip club in Portland for a bachelor party. So of course I went to the expect. -- nm - Mop Apr 9, 18:42
jam on it -- nm - the brain Apr 9, 18:35 1
- I can't believe it's not jam light -- nm - Bacon Apr 9, 18:38
