David Price haaaaaaaaates Boston. - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 09:46 7

  - "That’s one of the things that honestly chafed me about being in Boston..." got mentioned in regards to reporters not asking about his charity at all. - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 09:55 4
    - He comes across as very childish in that interview. -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 09:59 3
      - He's a mercurial guy. Always was. That was why I honestly thought he would consider less money to stay in Toronto.* - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 10:09 2
        
        mercurial=toddler -- nm - CQ Mar 10, 10:13 1

        That's my stock answer on Dan Snyder. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 09:31
      - I started to argue this, but I'm not sure that I can. It's like cancer vs. the plague. -- nm - David Mar 10, 09:26
    - ..to a degree. I think the Redskins would be over the moon for an owner who was only as 'bad' as Jerry Jones -- nm - JD Mar 10, 09:25 1
      - Yep. At least Jones would have changed the name already -- to sell more merchandise, but still. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 10, 09:26
hey bery, look at my "Test" on B2. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 09:14 3

Trump's eagerness to take credit for job numbers he had nothing to do with may have violated long standing rules on commenting on economic data -- (link) - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 10, 09:06 11
- Man, the line between great and not great was thinner than I thought. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 09:13
- Wasn't Trump tweeting about it *yesterday*? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 09:09

- Eh, he does not believe in them anyway. Right? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 09:07
- You think he gives a f*** about long-standing rules? -- nm - amoxy Mar 10, 09:07 6

John Wick 2.0 -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 09:05 25

  - They got a style. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 09:56 4
    - The tone looks more "fun" than John Wick, which was pleasant, but didn't necessarily include a lot of gags or jokes. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 10:11 3
      - JW spoiler - Shaun Mar 10, 10:14 2
        
        Oh, there were definitely a few moments of levity like that, but you can see Charlize is playing this far more droll than Keanu did. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 10:41 1
        
        Keanu had his reasons, though. - Beryllium Mar 10, 10:50

  - Yeah. The Continental. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 09:43
- Atomic Blonde is an opening night movie for me. -- nm - MDH Mar 10, 09:22 1

  - She didn't do THAT in the film we made with her, but she was very flexible -- nm - LMS Mar 10, 09:57
  - In a shocking turn of events, she's French!! -- nm - Shaun Mar 10, 09:14 2
    - can't be, no where was there a white flag! -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 09:15 1
      - Maybe she did surrender...to Atomic Blonde's sack skills. - Shaun Mar 10, 09:25
- Or maybe John Wick is just the Atomic Brunette, you know? - Beryllium Mar 10, 09:11 3
  - Suicide Brunette. -- nm - INXS Mar 10, 09:11 2
    - It's the colour of his hair. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 09:13 1
