The Americans spoilers - Beaker May 29, 16:48 3
- So, you are watching Season 1 Episode 1? -- nm - amoxy May 29, 16:52
- I saw that scene. One of the few scenes I've seen in the series. I don't get the appeal. - Max May 29, 16:50 1
  - no this is great stuff. -- nm - Beaker May 29, 16:52
If I were granted one wish and the choice of using it between anything and making Darrell Waltrip *shut up* I would be tempted to use it on Waltrip. -- nm - Max May 29, 16:47 4
- Back back back back back back back back GONE! -- nm - Chris Berman si May 29, 17:00
- i'd definitely use mine for world peace, but you make a compelling case -- nm - senor dentista May 29, 16:50 1
  - The world would be more peaceful if it didn't have to hear him yapping. -- nm - Max May 29, 16:51
- Boogity Boogity Boogity -- nm - budice May 29, 16:50
Jeff Bridges joins the cast of Kingsman.... -- (link) - Remlik May 29, 16:29 2
- as The Dude -- nm - budice May 29, 16:46
- I'm in. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 16:32
It's Fleet Week *and* Manhattanhenge. I'm not sure we can contain this all on one island. -- nm - ty97 May 29, 15:58 1
- You vastly underestimate New York. -- nm - Mop May 29, 16:00
6 people in the theater to see the Nice Guys. There's a line for X-Men. -- nm - Mop May 29, 15:58 10
- So let me get this straight. After X-Men 3 we told Bryan Singer hell to the no on more X-Men movies. We got someone else for First Class, it was good. - Qale May 29, 16:34 4
  - Yup. -- nm - David's iPad May 29, 16:44
  - not quite. After the failure of X3 Singer was brought back to direct, but he swapped jobs with Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn directs a bit of a sleeper hit, - Remlik May 29, 16:42 2
    - Is there, like, a teenage boy we could send Singer a note through to keep him from continuing down this path again? -- nm - Qale May 29, 16:47
    - So, in a perfect world, Vaughn does DoFP AND I don't have to suffer through Kingsman? - David's iPad May 29, 16:46
- I saw Nice Guys this weekend (a rare theater outing for me). Thought it was great, but (minor spoilers) - ralph wiggum May 29, 16:15 2
  - i love Shane as much as anyone but dude needs to get a girlfriend - senor dentista May 29, 16:25 1
    - I take your point, although I was happy not to get a romantic subplot. - ralph wiggum May 29, 16:34
- Nice Guys finish last. -- nm - Bacon May 29, 16:07
- People have no taste. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 16:05
I've decided I am going to hold every crappy superhero movie against Remlik. - David's iPad May 29, 15:36 8 1
- Singer could fail for the rest of his life but since he nailed X1 so perfectly he's got room to spare. - Mel Profit May 29, 15:50 5
  - Lucas took his franchise and flushed it, so Lucas lost all his good will and then some. Singer is the same. Stop ruining something you did well. -- nm - Bacon May 29, 16:02
  - Isn't there some extracurricular salacious taint on him? -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 15:53 1
    - His jacuzzi parties are notorious (and according to rumour, one reason why Brandon Routh was cast as Superman) -- nm - Roger More May 29, 15:56
  - Not with you on that one. -- nm - David's iPad May 29, 15:51 1
    - I'm relieved. I thought you'd agree for a second. -- nm - Mel Profit May 29, 16:01
- and you will fail. as usual. -- nm - Remlik May 29, 15:47 1
  - I already blamed you. It's done. -- nm - David's iPad May 29, 15:50
CNN-Dole: Jeb Bush should endorse Trump, select Newt for VP -- nm - budice May 29, 15:25 3
- I love how for them it's about winning above principles -- nm - Mop May 29, 16:00 2
  - Yet it's hillary labeled the conniving and corrupt political hack -- nm - zeitgeist May 29, 16:15 1
    - She is, and I am voting for her. Lesser of two horrible horrible can't believe these are my only two options, option. -- nm - Bacon May 29, 16:25
that one even shocked Jordan -- nm - mud May 29, 14:44
Supposedly, Finding Dory contains a lesbian couple as characters. That's how I know the bigots have lost. - TWuG May 29, 14:44 17
- The Fosters was on ABC Family! -- nm - Qale May 29, 16:48
- wait ... a lesbian *human* couple ... or lesbian fish? -- nm - call me Ishmael May 29, 16:29 3
  - lesbian fish...that's a very specific fetish. -- nm - Mel Profit May 29, 16:44 1
    - well, okay ... a couple of qualifiers ... - call me Ishmael May 29, 21:22
  - No idea. -- nm - TWuG May 29, 16:33
- The Flintstones were having a gay ole time way way way before this -- nm - Bacon May 29, 15:46 3
  - It just hit me that the Flinstones was doing the fat guys with hot skinny wives thing WAY before King Of Queens and CBS made it a staple. -- nm - ty97 May 29, 15:52 2
    - And the Flinstones were just The Honeymooners. Fat guy with skinny wife was there at the dawn of TV. -- nm - TWuG May 29, 15:56 1
      - Ward and June Cleaver? No. Lost in Space, no -- nm - zeitgeist May 29, 16:25
- What, Elsa wasn't enough? -- nm - David's iPad May 29, 15:45 5
  - Elsa was hardly "out". :-) -- nm - TWuG May 29, 15:50 4
    - Re-read those Let It Go lyrics again. -- nm - David's iPad May 29, 15:52 1
      - I'm not saying that you're wrong so much as saying that it wasn't overt. - TWuG May 29, 15:55
    - Heck, half of ST told me I was wrong that she was even gay. -- nm - ty97 May 29, 15:50 1
      - Right. I'm ambivalent on it, but I hope they give her a girlfriend in the sequel. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 16:25
- Ummmm, the Seven Dwarfs -- nm - ty97 May 29, 14:48 1
  - You have some weird kinks. :-) -- nm - TWuG May 29, 14:54
The similarity is uncanny. -- (link) - Beryllium May 29, 14:26 1
- faceswap fad can't end too soon -- nm - mud May 29, 14:27
would you wear this outside on a dare? -- (link) - mud May 29, 14:15 9
- It was a main piece in my winter wardrobe. -- nm - ty97 May 29, 14:36 4
  - I'd be concerned it might shrink in the cold. -- nm - i.b! May 29, 14:41 2
    - laughing -- nm - ty97 May 29, 15:39
    - It'll certainly shrink in the wash. And I'm a little concerned that it can become knotted. -- nm - TWuG May 29, 15:11
  - Trump Scarf™ -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 14:41
- Much scraf. So pocketses. Wow. - Beryllium May 29, 14:31
- No, it would cover up my tattoo! -- nm - Guy si May 29, 14:20 1
  - YSMM -- nm - Spawn May 29, 14:22
- For $100,000 -- nm - amoxy May 29, 14:18
So my son is going to a bday party this afternoon. The gift he's bringing is some sort of Marvel Lego set. - Beryllium May 29, 14:01 2
- tease with a shitty gift and then bring the good stuff, well done -- nm - Beaker May 29, 14:34
- Oh, honey. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 14:22
Ego boost Achieved. One of the pieces of pottery I completed last week caught the interest of a Facebook friend. It's going to Scotland to be loved - TWuG May 29, 13:28 5
- v. good! :) - -- nm - i.b! May 29, 14:42
- very cool -- nm - Beaker May 29, 13:48
- Very neat!! You do some nice work. -- nm - Meg May 29, 13:30 1
  - Thank you. I wish I could *consistently* do nice work. :-) - TWuG May 29, 13:33
- nice! -- nm - Diva May 29, 13:30
This is... odd. -- (link) - Spawn May 29, 13:26
Oops -- nm* - Diva May 29, 13:24
So. Much. Drama. -- (link) - Spawn May 29, 13:12 1
- Oh, Thor's no role model on this front. Sounds like he's gonna bring the drama hard. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 13:23
I agree - give XMEN back to Marvel. The x-men movies are decent but totally eclipsed by Avengers and what Marvel is doing (with their own property). - Mel Profit May 29, 13:03 32
- Competition is good. With DC/WB making a hash of their movies, Marvel needs Fox doing X-Men (and Sony doing Spider-Man) to keep delivering -- nm - Roger More May 29, 14:03
- If they'd all just agree to work from the same playbook and take direction from one Marvel rep, then they could stay at their various studios. - TWuG May 29, 13:24 1
  - That wouldn't be as adaptable to pipeline changes as it would need to be -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 13:58
- I remain an XMen fan over an Avengers fan. I seem to get more emotionally involved there. The McAvoy/Fassbender casting was perfect, IMHO -- nm - mud May 29, 13:22 16
  - 10 years ago I would have agreed but not now. The 2nd act of Cap 3 was more emotionally dense than anything compared to the X-Men since X1 - Mel Profit May 29, 15:33 1
    - Agreed. - Dignan May 29, 15:57
  - I cannot even remember what happened in X-Men: First Class. - Spawn May 29, 13:30 12
    - Huh. I think First Class is exceptional. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 29, 17:07
    - It's the only great X-Men movie. -- nm - David's iPad May 29, 16:11
    - It's the Muppet Babies of superhero films. -- nm - Reagen May 29, 14:07
    - I cannot even remember what happened in the whole Iron Man trilogy! (except ... - mud May 29, 14:02 3
      - box of scraps! -- nm - Reagen May 29, 14:19
      - Knockoff suits that cripple soldiers. Ben Kingsley having a scenery buffet. Little kid helping Tony with PTSD. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 14:05 1
        
        Ben Kingsley was hilarious -- nm - mud May 29, 14:06
    - This. -- nm - MDH May 29, 13:40
    - Kevin Bacon acted like a Bond Villain -- nm - mud May 29, 13:32 3
      - the misuse of Shaw pisses me off -- nm - Beaker May 29, 13:48 2
        
        Now if they do Dark Phoenix, the Hellfire Club will either not be used or will be some lame thing with no - Spawn May 29, 13:57 1
        
        aw so what! [sticks tongue out puts thumbs in ears wiggles fingers] -- nm - mud May 29, 14:05
  - Quicksilver, too. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 13:23
- But marvel is not infallible, and giving them more plates to spin could topple the whole thing. - Beryllium May 29, 13:05 11
  - Not if you have Plate Spinning Man. -- nm - Max May 29, 13:15 1
    - [snork] -- nm - mud May 29, 13:18
  - avengers 2 was kind of the movie that soured me on continuing to follow this whole thing....nm - x May 29, 13:09
  - There are some duds but it's looking more and more like they've managed to do with movies what a good comic book story can do... - Mel Profit May 29, 13:08 1
    - And Fantastic Four. Wow, what I think they could accomplish there. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 13:10
  - What are some of the things you dislike about Avengers 2? -- nm - Diva May 29, 13:06 3
    - Too many moving pieces. Often literally. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 13:17 1
      - (Iron Man 2 is still my least-favourite of the Marvel ones so far, I think. Even it had some high points.) - Beryllium May 29, 13:18
    - He is jealous of Stark. - Spawn May 29, 13:08
  - 6 X-Men movies so far, each one getting worse than the last (3, reboot, 3). -- (edited) - Spawn May 29, 13:06 1
    - You're not arguing 4 was worse than 3,are you? -- nm - Ender May 29, 14:08
The Wedding Singer is Sandler's best movie. Only one I like. I tolerate 50 first dates -- nm - amoxy May 29, 13:01 3
- Still love Happy Gilmore and Waterboy -- nm - Strongnad May 29, 16:14
- The Wedding Singer is overrated. - Spawn May 29, 13:13 1
  - I agree. - Bacon May 29, 15:37
Indy 500 spoils... - budice May 29, 12:34 2
- Spoils - MDH May 29, 12:35 1
  - spoils - Spawn May 29, 12:36
B2 - it was Brett Ratner who made the worst X-Mem movie. McG was responsible for the worst Terminator movie (at least before 2015) -- nm - Roger More May 29, 12:27 9
- Thanks! I always get those 2 confused -- nm - Remlik May 29, 15:49
- But McG helped make Chuck. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 13:03 1
  - And Charlies Angels 2 -- nm - Qale May 29, 16:50
- brett ratner has really never done anything but make terrible movies...nm - x May 29, 12:33 5
  - I was going to say 'Family Man was alright', but I was thinking of The Weather Man -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 12:46 2
    - no, Family Man was good. The rest are all shite -- nm - mud May 29, 12:51 1
      - His bark is much worse than his bite. - Spawn May 29, 13:09
  - How dare you speak ill of Rush Hour. -- nm - MDH May 29, 12:34 1
    - jackie chan's warranty expires about 1994 or so... - x May 29, 12:38
*flies way above ST's head* -- nm - Cuzzin Todd's point May 29, 12:25 4
- I disagreed with his point. -- nm - David's iPad May 29, 12:33 1
  - Agreed (with David). "He's 1 for 40 (or however many he's made)" -- nm* - Spawn May 29, 12:35
- [rereads B2 thread] ...yep -- nm - mud May 29, 12:27 1
  - Yep. -- nm - Diva May 29, 13:04
There goes that no no -- nm - Krusty May 29, 12:16 1
- And the lead. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 29, 12:16
i just rewatched the second half of that hoop game last night. that game was amazing.... - x May 29, 12:14
That's that. Heh-heh... -- nm - Diva May 29, 12:12 4
- I saw your post on B2 and I was like - ty97 May 29, 12:42 2
  - Hell yeah. -- nm - Diva May 29, 12:50
  - If it wasn't for some silly team no-hitter we'd have the longest streak. - Krusty May 29, 12:48
- :-) -- nm - Krusty May 29, 12:21
Bah, all those vendor booths at the Strawberry Festival and *nothing* with a local theme. - Meg May 29, 12:09 7
- Maybe they are just overpriced for the California Theme -- nm - Bacon May 29, 12:15 6
  - Just no local pride I guess. I'd settle for something with a strawberry on it :/ -- nm - Meg May 29, 12:20 5
    - look around, do you see any strawberry fields? come to think of it, are there any oranges in *orange* county? -- nm - zeitgeist May 29, 15:21 4
      - We have at least two trees at the museum - and there actually are a couple of strawberry fields left. -- (edited) - Meg May 29, 15:25 3
        
        wait....do you charge a dollar and a half just to see'm? pave paradise, put up a parking lot.... -- nm - zeitgeist May 29, 15:51 2
        
        Suggested donation is $5 - although the Valencia orange is right out on the street :) - Meg May 29, 16:06 1
        
        That's the main my mom misses about the San Bernardino house, the tree with the huge lemons -- nm - zeitgeist May 29, 16:29
Not. Hot. -- nm - Spawn May 29, 12:02 1
- youre insatiable -- nm - STURN May 29, 12:11
