So, we've officially hit the part of the audit where I wish I drank and drank heavily. - spamlet Aug 17, 14:49
B3 - I've seen lots of booing when the US is playing, especially team games like volleyball. -- nm - Roger More Aug 17, 14:33 12
- I think there are 2 or 3 different things going on... - Marlowe Aug 17, 15:17 1

- America is also guilty of taking advantage of Brazils political system. ie corruption and the land development. -- nm - budice Aug 17, 14:43 2
  - There are lots of grievances - most recently, NSA spying on the Brazilian president, but more generally it's US involvement in Latin America. - Roger More Aug 17, 15:03 1
    - [deleted]
- The gymnast wasn't American. They're booing people that are close in events with Brazilian athletes. - Krusty Aug 17, 14:40 1
  - They are, but not only them. -- nm - Roger More Aug 17, 14:52
- I'd say the booing comes into play when someone from Brazil is either in the running for a medal, or is the other team. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 17, 14:35 2
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Aug 17, 14:41

Watched the original Ben-Hur on the big screen last night (never seen it before) - con_carne Aug 17, 14:24 3
- Yeah, those 50s/60s epics really need to be seen on a big screen to be appreciated. TVs simply can't do them justice. -- nm - spamlet Aug 17, 14:48 1
  - that was the idea with most of these movies. they were losing the battle to tv....nm - x Aug 17, 15:21

- *cat hiss* I would wage Jihad against this. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 17, 14:01
b. I think the Backpacker badge is just how many times you've spun a pokestop. - JaxSean Aug 17, 13:39 3
- I did the math, and that means I'm averaging ~27 a day since I've been playing - there's just no way I've done that. - b. Aug 17, 13:43 2
  - Interesting. I'll have to test that theory. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 17, 14:34 1
    - I plan to, too. :) - - b. Aug 17, 14:51
last night I finally watched BvS:DoJ. It definitely could have been better, but it was not nearly as bad as you all led me to believe -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 13:37 10
- "better" = 100% less Batman -- nm - shaolin fantastic Aug 17, 14:36
- Spoiler question - David Aug 17, 13:56 4
  - that is one complaint I have..not spoilers really - crash davis Aug 17, 13:59 3
    - Prequel? -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 14:02 2
      - for Martha's sake, I hope so -- nm - crash davis Aug 17, 14:03
      - . -- nm* - Max Aug 17, 14:03
- It's pretty all over the place. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 17, 13:39 3
  - It could have used some tightening, and maybe it didn't lose me so much because I'm familiar with Frank Miller and Doomsday, etc. But not bad, better - crash davis Aug 17, 13:44 1

- I don't love Bang Bang. Its more old school Punk Greenday and for that I appreciate it. - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:26 5
  - I think it's sounds more like 21st Century. I was bummed it wasn't more punk. I need to hear more songs. -- nm - jnine Aug 17, 13:32 3
    - sometimes Green Day has to grow on me. Why does that happen with certain bands and not others? - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:35 2
      - I think the lyrics don't sound like much until you really listen and see there's a lot more to them. Tim Armstrong is doing the video and the song is - jnine Aug 17, 13:37 1
        
        Ooo...interesting! I'm the kind of vapid that a video can make me like a song - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:39
  - word to both. -- nm - Tim Aug 17, 13:29

        L4!! OMG - she did not!! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:39 2
        
        She seemed more upset about the kiss than what they'd done to poor Dyan Cannon. -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 13:41 1
        
        *giggling* - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:42
  - It's funny how that works out sometimes. I was struck by this when I was listening to Heart's "How Do I Get You Alone". If a man were singing it, it - pmb Aug 17, 13:25
- Lord have mercy - who? who? who? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:22 17
  - Trying to think of a good homme fatale. -- nm - Dano Aug 17, 13:32 1
    - did you see Legend? Cause Taron Egerton could pull that character off brilliantly -- nm - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:37
  - it needs to be people who can be intense. My vote: James McAvoy and Richard Madden. -- nm - Andie Aug 17, 13:24 14
    - I had to look up Madden - I think that is a winning combo - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:33 4
      - He could play either part. He played the Twink in the British QAF. -- nm - jnine Aug 17, 13:39
      - Hunnam is a great choice. -- nm - Andie Aug 17, 13:37

        bwa-ha-ha... - Diva Aug 17, 14:12 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Tom Hardy would be good for the Gershon role. -- nm - Dano Aug 17, 13:33 4
        
        And Jared Leto for the Tilly role. -- nm - Dano Aug 17, 13:40 1
        
        !!! brilliant! I agree Hardy would have the vulnerability of the character that is needed. - Epiphany Aug 17, 13:46
        
        have you seen the trailer for 'Split'? -- nm - Diva Aug 17, 13:35

    - who wouldn't ? -- nm - Common Aug 17, 14:02
- 1 infrequent day matching a holiday would be a minor coincidence, but that blank week over Thanksgiving looks suspicious. -- nm - Max Aug 17, 13:49
