Baby Driver may have a fun and cool pedigree and lots of nice reviews but I don't think many regular movie-going folks know what this is. Anyone heard - Diva Jun 27, 12:16 3
- I can't see it this weekend because of a fishing trip. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 12:23
- Not specifically, but 15 would be a *great* weekend for it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 12:18 1
  - test -- nm* - budice Jun 29, 09:50
Chuck Schumer: "We have a second suggestion for our Republican colleagues: to work with us. Abandon the closed door, secret process." -- nm - decline Jun 27, 12:08 2
- Mitch McConnell (in the next room): "They're not interested in participating in this." -- nm - decline Jun 27, 12:09 1
  - No, apparently McConnell is warning republicans (and Trump) that if they don't get this passed, they will actually have to deal with Schumer and Dems. - pmb Jun 27, 12:10

- I wanna see the Beatdown Biddies beat the crap out of him -- nm - Remlik Jun 27, 12:28
- he could face the scummiest, most vile opponent, who cheats to win in the most obvious ways and with outside interference, and the people will still . - crash davis Jun 27, 11:55 1
  - that part was great. -- nm - Diva Jun 27, 11:59
- “I want to exchange your bullets for bullet points. Bullet points of knowledge.” -- (link) - Beaker Jun 27, 11:54
Baby Driver 99% (69/1), Despicable Me 3 77% (17/5) -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 11:49 3
- Nice. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 12:02
- Bigger surprise: Armond White is not the contrarian on Baby Driver. He gave it a positive review. -- nm - Shardik the Baron Jun 27, 11:53
- I was going to ask Remlik when we are seeing Baby Driver, but since it is not perfect I am unsure. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 11:52
U.S. pets are getting fatter, according to new report -- (link) - crash davis Jun 27, 11:39 11
- If you've read any James Herriot you'll recognize the Tricky Woo syndrome :) -- nm - Meg Jun 27, 12:12
- no shock. lots of the pet food is loaded with pure fat as filler. -- nm - Remlik Jun 27, 12:05 2
  - yup, and lots of people over feed their pets because the amount they should feed their pet 'just doesn't look like enough' -- nm - decline Jun 27, 12:10 1
    - Get scoops, dumbasses. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 12:13

    - Top 10 States for Overweight Cats - crash davis Jun 27, 11:45 2
      - from this story that marvelled that there is no correlation between overweight people and overweight pets -- (link) - crash davis Jun 27, 11:47 1
        
        Being poor is linked to being overweight as healthy food is more expensive. Maybe they don't have enough money to feed their pets. -- nm - jnine Jun 27, 12:35
If Boston signs Hayward, Paul George is saying he'll go there. -- nm - Remlik Jun 27, 11:36 7
- Golden State would still be quite a bit better, but that would give them the East. -- nm - David Jun 27, 11:37 3
  - it's the c's, the only thing that matters is championships.... - x Jun 27, 11:59 2
    - That's my point. I don't see it as enough, so the price better be tolerable. -- nm - David Jun 27, 12:03 1
      - i don't think the cap stuff would work on a renegotiation with George with Hayward on the roster, either...nm - x Jun 27, 12:18
- I think PG is just effin' with people now to stir up the pot -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:37 2

And now we just had a fire alarm in the building - eag Jun 27, 11:22 1

Hmm, somebody started a company last year and registered the .co domain. My brother just got a cease and desist... - Ender Jun 27, 11:17 12
- Isn't one of those 'who has more money for lawyers' type thing, state vs national trademark registration -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 11:36
- He should be aggressive. The law isn't kind to typosquatters. -- nm - David Jun 27, 11:29
- they had to know this, it would show up as .com not available when they registered, right? -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 11:24 7
  - Oh, absolutely. There's no way the .co is your first choice. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 11:25 6
    - They're probably looking for either a payout or a cheap acquisition of his domain. - David Jun 27, 11:33 5
      - He owns 10 per cent of Walking on Sunshine. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 12:06
      - That's what I told my brother. Don't just say "ok, we'll stop using it". - Ender Jun 27, 11:37 1
        
        The thing about the legal fees is that it's usually just somebody threatening legal action. - David Jun 27, 11:39
      - yup, the next letter will be, "We'll take that domain off your hand for ya, if you like" -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:34 1
        
        Or: "For the modest cost of $XXXX, we will sell you our domain." -- nm - David Jun 27, 11:35
- he should send them a cease and desist order to stop their cease and desist orders -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:19 1
  - i would be tempted to just write the word "HA!" on it with a screen shot showing he registered his years before. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 11:21
Warner Brothers looking at adapting Mark Millar's Superman Red Son series. -- nm - Remlik Jun 27, 11:17 12
- Superman had a son ? -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:21 9
  - yes. but Superman Red Son isn't about that. That story is about his ship landing in Russia and being raised by Stalin -- nm - Remlik Jun 27, 11:24 8
    - So, this is a short story right? Stalin: "Go forth and make us great." Supes: "Controls world." - Will Hunting Jun 27, 11:28 5
      - 3 issue mini series. and Spawn is joking below. It's a really good little series. -- nm - Remlik Jun 27, 11:32 2
        
        whew! otherwise he would just be a regular guy in Russia - decline Jun 27, 11:33 1
        
        Par for the course. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 11:34
      - You would think, but Superman is powerless under a red sun, so... -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 11:29 1
        
        but the sun is still yel.....i'm not sure that you're joking which is a bad sign here. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 11:30
    - well, that's a misleading title -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:25 1
      - how about Superman Red Sun? does that work for ya? -- nm - mud Jun 27, 11:26
- The Russians took our election. Now we're going to give them our lame ass Kryptonian too? -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 11:21
- Maybe they should just work on getting just a good Superman movie going -- nm - eag Jun 27, 11:20
Billionaire Warren Buffett says 'the real problem' with the US economy is people like him -- (link) - crash davis Jun 27, 11:17

    - :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 11:53

      - y'see, if you were a GoT fan ...[tsk tsk] -- nm - mud Jun 27, 11:21 4
        
        Yeah, a cheap knock-off of a Rocky movie villain is *awesome*. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 11:28 3

    - well, maybe they should :) -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 11:51
  - Slow week for financial news, I guess. -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 11:15 1
    - I can understand the need for studies like this from time to time. It just shouldn't be announced like the results are a big surprise, imo -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 11:18

- As in the national nightly news broadcast or is it News Channel? - Reagen Jun 27, 11:22
- channel depends on area/provider, but it's a national channel, i would think we all get it. - Andie Jun 27, 11:11
- tell him to wear a tie with little penguins on it so our Canadian brethren can tell who he is -- nm - decline Jun 27, 11:01

  - Hmm, do they get per diem when they travel? I figure they do? Under what circumstances? -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 10:38 1
    - (I'm totally merging threads at this point) -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 10:43
I forgot how nice months with per diem are -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 10:26 2
- can you not think of the poor deprived congresspersons? -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 10:52 1
