  - oh, huh. thanks! i've seen a million movies and don't remember ever seeing this before....nm - x Nov 19, 12:29 1
    - It looks like they may use gofer and some other words interchangeably so it could unique that this movie chose swamper -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 12:36

  - No, iPhone for those. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 12:06 1

So if they do want to hire me, one of the things they do with every new employee is a face painted photo session - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:06 11
- Those face paintings were AWESOME!!! Especially liked Roz from Monsters Inc, Darth Maul & V for Vendetta - what a COOL idea! -- nm - JenBro Nov 19, 15:44
- Doesn't it seem oddly premature for them to mention this before they've even extended an offer? -- nm - Mop Nov 19, 14:16 1
  - Maybe. I dunno. I always get ahead of myself, anyway. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:24
- as a photography company, couldn't you/they do the face painting in Photoshop????? -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 19, 11:49
- Wait... they what? - Cuzzin Todd Nov 19, 11:18 6
  - Photography company. If they extend an offer. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:21 5
    - Cool - Good luck! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 19, 11:56 1
      - Thanks :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 12:02

the IPO today at that other place is Big Trouble in Little China remake with the Rock -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 19, 11:01 6
- I don't like The Rock for that. He seems like he'll come across too competent for the role. -- nm - Dano Nov 19, 11:22 1
  - didn't he do comedy with that Kevin Hart movie though? -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 11:52
- Some things just dont need a remake -- nm - budice Nov 19, 11:08
- Just why. -- nm - TRuMaN Nov 19, 11:04 2
  - why not. that other one is old. -- nm - Remlik Nov 19, 11:26
  - Jumanji. That's why. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:07
Bah, sitting here waiting for the termite inspectors. Go out to check the mail. Note on the mail box..... - Meg Nov 19, 10:55 6
- Bury the inspectors deep and far. Give me the time and date needed for the alibi. -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 11:17 4
  - Nah, this is on the property managers who update our contact info at every HOA meeting and then never use it. - Meg Nov 19, 11:21 3
    - So, you visiting kc this winter? -- nm - TRuMaN Nov 19, 11:23 2
      - Yes, didn't you see my post? Dec 21-30. -- nm - Meg Nov 19, 11:24 1

Godammit Dano...that's a horrible song and yet a really good running song - JD Nov 19, 10:37
This is your reminder that the President-elect just paid 25 million in a fraud settlement. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 10:33 25
- Why isn't this story everywhere? -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 12:02 12
  - I mean it's on every news site and newspaper, but it's just the new normal. Our new leader is a fraud. But he's an outsider who's going to drain the - pmb Nov 19, 12:42 1
    - He's a con man real estate developer. He's not going to drain the swamp, he's going to move the headstones. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:18
  - Because it only confirms what everyone already knew. Dog bites man. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 19, 12:16
  - I would be interested in knowing why the TrumpU people thought settling was better than pressing forward. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 12:08 3
    - Because their lawyers need to get paid. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 12:19 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        news says average plaintiff might get *half* their money back. with lawyer fees cut, 30-40% of that? -- nm - z Nov 19, 15:08
  - It's the top story in my World News feed, but... -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 12:07
  - I have seen it in multiple places. But, it's drown out by all the other bad. Bannon news, Hamilton Cast News, horrible cabinet pick news. -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 12:03 3
    - Sure. But it should be leading. Everything. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 12:04 2
      - I think part of is just viewing it as something he "has" to do. The President can't be distracted with a lawsuit so he has to settle it to focus on - pmb Nov 19, 14:02
      - It just isn't sexy. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 19, 13:26
- "I could settle it right now for very little money, but I don't want to do it out of principle." - Dano Nov 19, 11:36
- this. The Hamilton Pence thing is cute and all but imo the fraud settlement is important. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 11:05 9
  - So the people he conned thousands (like up to 35K) from only get half? many of those were incouraged to max their credit cards - z Nov 19, 11:37
  - Here we go, this is what you're saying (and I'm agreeing, just a bit circularly) -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:21 1
    - yonh. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 11:30
  - The Hamilton thing is about the first amendment. The fraud thing is about the fact that America just elected a con man president. - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:09 5
    - Would this make Trump a Neo-Con-Con? -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 11:18 1
      - Can he do the neo-can-can? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:23
    - There are, as I understand it, 75 more suits against him out there. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 11:13
    - Meaning they are both bad, but not equally bad. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:12 1
      - I feel you. -- nm - Diva Nov 19, 11:33
- and then bragged about it on Twitter. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 10:37
This shouldn't surprise me given that this is Regal hq, but there are no AMC Theaters in TN. No Best Picture Showcase next year makes me sad. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 10:29 2
- Sometimes independent arthouse types and Cinemark show the short films -- nm* - budice Nov 19, 10:51
- 😐 But it could be an opportunity to lobby for a change. As you said Regal HQ is nearby...perhaps make personal appeal for them to present the Regal -- (edited) - JD Nov 19, 10:31
