- the commercials make me feel dumber for just having watched them -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:26 1
  - If any ONE thing that happened in the trailer happened in real life, it would be the most amazing thing anyone had ever seen. -- (edited) - volnelk Apr 5, 07:33
- Looks about right to me - priced about $20 less than Fast 7's delist. (Remember there's no adjust now) -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 07:25 4
  - and it's *so* long. 2h40. reduces showtimes, maybe? -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 07:48
  - I forgot they got stupid and removed adjusts. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of ST Brackets Apr 5, 07:26 2

- you should go take pictures of them -- nm - decline Apr 5, 07:18 2
  - I know you're joking but I wish I could. I wouldn't want to disturb them but I'd love to get close enough to get a picture. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:20
  - I hear eggs are good eatin' -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:20

- These lists change so much. What happened to Noma? -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 07:23
- Zero. But considering my 'burger over a steak' aesthetic, these places are likely lost on me. - ty97 Apr 5, 07:23 3
  - god, I love a perfect burger. when you come visit me, we will go to elk creek and you will die. like, you will be dead after your first bite. - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 07:24 2

- Alinea at 21! Did I tell you my dude's son-in-law resigned from there? It was a crappy work environment and had crappy benefits (no health insurance). -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:17 2
  - i think restaurant work at that level is pretty grueling. glad he got away from it. -- nm* - Andie Apr 5, 07:18 1
    - Oh, definitely the kitchen in a place like that is very high-stress. With adequate staffing, though, you can make sure the staff doesn't have to work - mara Apr 5, 07:20
I have "what's the matter here" stuck in my head something fierce. not the worst way to spend a wednesday. -- nm - amanda jones state university Apr 5, 07:12

  - It's not good that both teams value him so little. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 5, 07:16 3
    - This is true. He was a 2014 second round pick and is only 24 -- nm - decline Apr 5, 07:17 2
      - it's a Hoodie move. give up a little to take a shot on an underperformer, still on rookie salary so limited risk -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:19 1
        
        yup, it plugs a hole for the eagles and if he doesn't work out they dump him to FA at the end of the year -- nm - decline Apr 5, 07:28
  - he'll move from a 3-4 to a 4-3 defense. It could be good for him -- nm - decline Apr 5, 07:03 1

        No doubt. I despised what they did but damn were they interesting characters/people. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 06:45
  - I reluctantly punch the NCAA in the face -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 06:22
