        I've been watching this team for a long time and I've never seen a group this bad. They DGAF about anything. -- nm - Diva May 2, 09:20
        
        They ain't going 56 and 106 which is the 30 games thing - Will Hunting May 2, 09:07
      - Who leads that division? -- nm - CQ May 2, 09:04 6
        
        I think Boston? At like 15-10...but they're on a hot streak. - Will Hunting May 2, 09:06 5
        
        speaking of 15-10. The Phillies are also 15-10 and have the most K's in MLB - decline May 2, 09:11 2
        
        Their pitching staff is looking really nice. - Will Hunting May 2, 09:12
        
        who the hell is Vince Valazquez???? -- nm - groiny May 2, 09:12
        
        If the Jays can get any pitching at all, they should cakewalk the division. -- nm - groiny May 2, 09:07
        
        You answered earnestly. :) -- nm - CQ May 2, 09:07
- oh, there are a ton of factors in that. - groiny May 2, 08:59

"I don't expect him to know how to fight the wars or rebuild the economy. But he's a CEO. He'll hire the right people to do that." -- (link) - dj fingerblazt May 2, 08:36 4
- Except it wasn't the CEOs fault, it was the government that shut down the mill because of regulations. -- nm* - znufrii May 2, 09:08 1
  - Maybe they should have had better regulations so Stumpy would still have 10 fingers. -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 09:10
- Not that facts are relevant to their argument, but just because their town may be down on its luck doesn't mean the economy sucks. -- nm - Mop May 2, 09:04
- This was the same line I bought into about Bush selecting a solid national security cabal. -- nm - Max May 2, 08:38

- I'm digging it. They don't take themselves serious :) -- nm - decline May 2, 08:20 1
  - Right, it's Lost Girl-ish silly joy. -- nm - David May 2, 08:28
Have you not learned anything!?: "Ben Affleck’s ‘Batman’ Movie May Feature More Iconic Villains Than You Think" -- (link) - MDH May 2, 08:12 38
- and they will all wear black/dark costumes -- nm - Beaker May 2, 09:13
- The Zodiac Killer? -- nm - Larry Wilmore May 2, 08:25
- Sound like they are using "Hush" as a baseline -- nm - Flavorize May 2, 08:24 4
  - Every time I see Hush mentioned, my mind first goes to Buffy. - Robert Barontheon May 2, 08:29 2
    - Started rewatching the whole series on netflix this weekend - still amazing fun and cheese at same time -- nm - Capstern May 2, 08:53
    - It was the first episode of Buffy I ever saw. - Will Hunting May 2, 08:31
  - Exactly. I am hopefull they learned a ton from Snyder/BvS vs Whedon/Marvel. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:27
- Having two villains is the only reason The Dark Knight isn't an all-time classic for me. - Inigo May 2, 08:16 25
  - I can't disagree any more with you on this than if you'd said, "Needed more bat-nipples." -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 08:20 24
    - Let me be more clear. The Two Face parts are bad at the end. Harvey Dent as a character on his own is fine. *spoils* -- (edited) - Inigo May 2, 08:25 23
      - My problem with the turn to Two Face is (spoils) - Jim May 2, 08:34 2
        
        Spoiler Thoughts - Name Withheld by Request May 2, 08:42 1
        
        spoiler - Roger More May 2, 09:17
      - I don't agree with that (iirc spoils) - Will Hunting May 2, 08:29
      - I think you are missing a big chunk of logic there. - groiny May 2, 08:27 18
        
        The problem they made was that the Harvey Dent character they made was too decent, level-headed and moral to become Two-Face. (spoils) -- (edited) - Inigo May 2, 08:37 9
        
        but that is kind of the point of Two Face, being polar opposites. -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:38 8
        
        And him becoming just the complete polar opposite for no legitimate reason might work in a Joel Schumacher version of Batman. (spoils) -- (edited) - Inigo May 2, 08:41 7
        
        thoughts on that.... - groiny May 2, 08:44 6
        
        Thoughts back. - Inigo May 2, 08:47 5
        
        but see..... - groiny May 2, 08:50 3
        
        This is where I think my point of not spending enough time on the character is key. - Jim May 2, 08:51 2
        
        Two Face was not a primary character in the movie. He was a pawn in Jokers game. - groiny May 2, 08:56 1
        
        Exactly. What better tool for the Joker to use for his anarchy than such a sentinel of justice? -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:59
        
        "Anything" is too strong. "Anything within the bounds" maybe. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:50
        
        Exactly. Hard to believe you understand Nolan so well, but fall into the Snyder blackhole of Bayness. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:28 7
        
        (The Black Hole of Bayness would be a good name for something in Game of Thrones.) -- nm - Max May 2, 08:52
        
        apples and oranges. I can like a movie for just being popcorn. -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:35 5
        
        After eating so well with Batman and then going without for so long we needed something better to eat than popcorn! -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:37 4
        
        to be fair, the Dark Knight Rises was pretty weak, so you went from an A to a C in Nolans last 2 movies. - groiny May 2, 08:39 3
        
        You are honestly trying to say BvS = Dark Knight Rises? -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:41 2
        
        honestly, I like BvS more than TDKR. -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:42 1
        
        That is like saying you like Ant-Man better than Avengers 2! -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:50
- There have been some great stories of the villains coming together to try and break the Bat. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:14 4
  - like that movie with Arnold - that sh!t was phenomenal -- nm - decline May 2, 08:21 3
    - EVERYBODY CHILL! -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:22 2
      - Freeze to meet you -- nm - Beaker May 2, 09:09 1
        
        He's going to say take two of these and call me in the morning. "Take two of des and caw me in de mowning." - Will Hunting May 2, 09:12
Still no will found for Prince as Minnesota court opens probate process -- (link) - budice May 2, 08:11 5
- It is just stunning to me that a guy who fought so intensely for the rights to his music, that he made no plans for dealing with what happens to it - pmb May 2, 08:19 3
  - agreed -- nm - Pippy May 2, 08:26
  - He thought he would never die. - Spawn May 2, 08:22 1
    - yeah, I figure it was 'oh, I can just do it tomorrow" syndrome -- nm - decline May 2, 08:24
- Let this be a lesson, people. - Spawn May 2, 08:12
Need to access the creative engine that is this collective consciousness - Capstern May 2, 08:11 51
- The Soul Survivor Tour -- nm - rollo May 2, 09:19 2
  - thats got great potential actually send me an email so in case we do use it can hook you up -- nm - Capstern May 2, 09:25
  - thats not bad - best ring to it so far -- nm - Capstern May 2, 09:23
- That's great, that you've been so successful with the game thing. - znufrii May 2, 09:00 1
  - Thanks Znu - well each project does a little better than the last - this one - Capstern May 2, 09:24
- Call it the Something for Nothing tour -- nm - decline May 2, 08:47 2
  - And again if you read the whole thing - was something for something -- nm - Capstern May 2, 08:50 1
    - how about Freeloader Tour? -- nm - decline May 2, 09:01
- it feels to me like you might get better results if your "something for nothing" posts weren't quite so frequent. - unbreakable mandy jones May 2, 08:25 42
  - Been trying to just stay quiet, read and hell havent posted in MONTHS and if you read it there was something offered - Capstern May 2, 08:31 41
    - 7 months without a post? Dude. - Spawn May 2, 08:35 33
      - also angie has been in the hospital 3 times in the last 2 years and me twice - Capstern May 2, 08:43 31
        
        which we might know if you posted from time to time when not looking for something. - groiny May 2, 08:45 30
        
        yes then its me crying about life challenges - its her MS it happens we try to cope - Capstern May 2, 08:49 29
        
        We give eachother hard times when times are *good*. groiny makes me want to kill him on here. But if things are going *bad*, he knows I have his back. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:56 5
        
        And I see that for everyone. Well most there are some I think that it can go 50/50 on... - Capstern May 2, 09:02 4
        
        I think you mis-understood the feedback. STFU wasn't the message. It was "Be a part of this place or STFU." - Will Hunting May 2, 09:09 3
        
        I wish I still had the email the suggestion WAS STFU for at least 6 months - Capstern May 2, 09:14 2
        
        Being gone for 6 months and your very first post is to ask for help> That is the epitome of keeping things the same. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:18 1
        
        guess I just didnt get the directive....my fault for being an idiot. - Capstern May 2, 09:20
        
        If you seriously think that posting here with a subject line about your SO being hospitalized would be met - Jim May 2, 08:54 21
        
        If I was anyone else probably not. But yes the mocking would have followed - Capstern May 2, 08:58 18
        
        Then you really do not get this place, and that is too bad. - Spawn May 2, 09:01 13
        
        Oh I do get this place been here a very long time and just understand my place. -- nm - Capstern May 2, 09:03 7
        
        reiterating what others have said: you don't understand this place at all if you think we mock those with sick relatives or crappy situations. - unbreakable mandy jones May 2, 09:05 6
        
        I would have totally upped my junk photos to 2 a day to cheer you up! -- nm - groiny May 2, 09:08 5
        
        So, now she's getting a full-sized junk photo....good planning. -- nm - Will Hunting May 2, 09:13 4
        
        well, we both have something in common then.... - groiny May 2, 09:14 3
        
        L5 -- nm - Beaker May 2, 09:17
        
        *golf clap* -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:16
        
        Mother....fuc...... - Will Hunting May 2, 09:15
        
        and, to be honest, most of us would help without expecting anything in return. - groiny May 2, 09:02 4
        
        Am around. been around. just stayed quiet but either way doesnt work - Capstern May 2, 09:04 3
        
        this is a better place with more posters. I am sorry you feel the way you do. - groiny May 2, 09:06 2
        
        I know that G - i havetalked to you enough away from here - Capstern May 2, 09:09 1
        
        oh and on the yippie front got a promotion last year :) -- nm - Capstern May 2, 09:19
        
        you truly have no idea how a commuinity works. - groiny May 2, 09:01
        
        i can say with 100% certainty that no-one here has ever mocked anyone for an ill loved one. - Andie May 2, 09:00 2
        
        well maybe thats my misunderstanding but as dad used to say "you eventually just learn to fear the shoe" -- nm - Capstern May 2, 09:06
        
        In fact, the one time something like that happened, the person got *banned*. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 09:02
        
        so true. -- nm - Andie May 2, 08:57
        
        yeah, and this too! -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:54
        
        everyone here gets grief about something or another. - groiny May 2, 08:54
      - yep we call that keeping the head down around here -- nm - Capstern May 2, 08:40
    - not really true man. Even to me, you seem to only show up when you need brainstorming. - groiny May 2, 08:33 6
      - back in october just made some movie comments and hell - Capstern May 2, 08:39 2
        
        well, I beat on you when you were here everyday too! - groiny May 2, 08:41 1
        
        yes you are the model of consistency! :) -- nm - Capstern May 2, 08:42
      - Yeah, it's kind of a May to September and then back to May cycle. -- nm - Jim May 2, 08:36 2
        
        This is why companies pay name consultants. -- nm - iSpam Sep 23, 11:33 (6) -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:39 1
        
        Yes if I am getting ready to launch a multimillion dollar project - its just a card game - Capstern May 2, 08:41
Krusty: Fresh of the Boat is early 90s, kid is into rap music, etc. - MDH May 2, 08:10 1
- This. Fresh Off the Boat is fantastic. -- nm - Jovian May 2, 08:38
Spawn: From B2, I actually really enjoyed Guardians! Thought it would be a mess, and really ended up a fun movie. -- nm - MDH May 2, 08:09 4
- Interesting. I saw Ant-man as a lesser (miniaturized) version of GotG. -- nm - Spawn May 2, 08:12 3
  - That's what I was hoping for, and when I saw it I was supremely let down. - MDH May 2, 08:14 2
    - Ant-Man was basically to introduce the Ant-Man. He will be in Civil War but don't expect him to be a major piece. - Spawn May 2, 08:25 1
      - IT IS THE BEST SUPERHERO MOVE SINCE THE LAST SUPERHERO MOVIE!!!! -- nm - groiny May 2, 08:28
Vikings have informed Sharrif Floyd and Xavier Rhodes they will pick up both players' fifth-year options -- nm - Strongbad May 2, 08:07 1
