Max: in that scene, deniro completely controlled Sean Bean and goaded him into the coffee cup. - Beryllium Apr 13, 13:42 8
- Worked out though. He didnt die for a change. -- nm - Jovian Apr 13, 14:49
- Stellann Skarsgard was the coffee cup. Sean Bean was the boathouse in Hereford -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 14:07 3
  - Stellan was the empty cup. Bean was the full cup plus Hereford. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 14:11 1
    - Oh right, sorry. -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 14:16
  - And the point of the coffee cup is that it marks Stellan Skarsgard's character as having fast reflexes, which suggests government training. - Roger More Apr 13, 14:11
- pff. The scene ends with her saying "You'll get your money when we get the kiss." which is the opposite of his demand. - Max Apr 13, 13:53 2

RIP Dan Rooney of the Steelers -- (link*) - Beaker Apr 13, 13:19
(If you are not David, you don't care) Went to On Demand o watch season 2 of the Magicians last night. They only had a few episodes. - Spawn Apr 13, 13:16 6

      - YGM! -- nm - Spawn Apr 13, 13:20
This weekend, I hope everyone finds peace in Candyheart province. -- nm - Max Apr 13, 13:16
I wasn't aware of this problem until last night: phone call readouts - look at a portion of China's readout, and then the entire White House readout -- (link) - crash davis Apr 13, 13:15 10
- Though regardless of word count, they both say the same thing. -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 13:24 6
  - I hope you are being facetious because they absolutely do not say the same thing -- nm - crash davis Apr 13, 13:25 5
    - I'm being glib, because the Chinese release has a lot of words, but doesn't really say anything. - Roger More Apr 13, 13:35 4
      - even at the most basic, the Chinese let us know that they talked Syria and gave Trump their position which is so much more than the White House says -- nm - crash davis Apr 13, 13:40 3
        
        We already know that though, thanks to the tremendous interview he did with Fox News. -- nm - Roger More Apr 13, 13:49 1
        
        Fair enough. But my understanding is that this isn't a one time event. Reporters are relying on other countries' readouts to get the substance -- nm - crash davis Apr 13, 14:41
        
        Words. -- nm - White House readout Apr 13, 13:41

  - It really shows the waning influence of Bannon. But I just read an article warning of what happens if Bannon leaves (or is fired) and starts - pmb Apr 13, 13:21 6
    - There's zero doubt in my mind that if Bannon leaves, he immediately starts savaging the White House. -- nm - Da5id Apr 13, 13:24 5
      - *gets the popcorn ready* -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 13, 13:56
      - I completely agree. Which could get interesting. -- nm - pmb Apr 13, 13:25
      - oh, he's not a gracious loser. he'll go scorched earth. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 13:25 2
        
        NOPE! DJT will make him sign an NDA and give a settlement -- nm - Remlik Apr 13, 14:10 1

  - Fools! That's not a "use by" date, it's a "sell by" date! -- nm - mara Apr 13, 13:12
- hey, it worked in Vietnam, what could go wrong? -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 13:08
- Yeah, that test footage looked like it shocked outward, not down. A fuel-air bomb might be more effective against caves too. -- nm - Max Apr 13, 13:08 1
  - I didn't realize that Max worked for Meg. I will be MUCH more respectful to him now. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 13:08

  - I'm dreading the casualty numbers, although I guess it might be hard to know what they really are. -- nm - mara Apr 13, 12:27 3
    - Apparently it can deafen people at 2 miles. I wonder if that's permanent? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 13, 12:30
    - Depending on the location, i'm only half joking about the goats and goat herders - Will Hunting Apr 13, 12:29 1

Apple looking to buy Disney -- (link) - Remlik Apr 13, 12:22 20
- Woulda thought it'd be the other way around. -- nm - . Apr 13, 15:02

    - At least go with Apple looks to buy Tesla so we can get the actual debate of the purchased company being worth a damn long term. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 13, 12:29
- So, in that entire article, I don't see a single comment about Apple actually considering this; just an investment firm saying it's a possible deal - Will Hunting Apr 13, 12:25 5
  - Right, although my understanding is that Apple has at least approached Iger on the subject. - David Apr 13, 12:33 3
    - I'd imagine that's akin to the Orioles approaching the Cubs and asking...so, what about Manny for Kris? - Will Hunting Apr 13, 13:16 2
