- I'm really not getting the hype for this one.. - Marlowe Jul 10, 10:12
Muppets: Steve Whitmire the voice of Kermit has left the company -- (link) - Remlik Jul 10, 09:59 2

"Speculation is mounting that Apple's next iPhone could cost $1,200 or more" -- nm - David Jul 10, 09:50 9
- What big changes would warrant the hike (mind you, baseline is like $800 right?) -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 10:11 1
  - None. But the minions will have to have it. -- nm - Spawndroid Jul 10, 10:21

  - If you're okay with them spying on you as well. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 10:14

Anyone else have this happen with Amazon? - znufrii Jul 10, 09:48 3

- I've never bought diapers off amazon -- nm - decline Jul 10, 09:51 1
  - Your loss. Missed out on a great deal. -- nm - znufrii Jul 10, 09:54

- like ruin your credit rating? -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 09:51 3
  - "Marisa! Why am I listed as the keynote speaker for CPAC 2018??!" -- nm - Max Jul 10, 09:55

    - nm -- nm* - budice Jul 10, 09:53
- I would also let Sofia Vergara do very bad things to me. - ty97 Jul 10, 09:50 10
  - I don't actually see a "type" there. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 09:53 4
    - Yeah, I always thought Tomei was Latina, I apparently got that wrong. -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 09:55
    - Brunette? -- nm - Shaun Jul 10, 09:54
    - Brunettes with eyebrows and boobs? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 09:54 1
      - I wouldn't call Tomei "boobsy" - certainly not in the way Vergara is. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 09:56
  - 2nd worse gay ever! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 10, 09:51 4

Birthdays today: Sofia Vergara 45, Adrien Grenier 41, Chiwetel Ejiofor 40, Jessica Simpson 37. Jake LaMotta is 96. -- nm - Max Jul 10, 09:46 2

  - Still likey the Jessica -- nm - budice Jul 10, 09:54
Just saying hi to Krusty... - David Jul 10, 09:45 1
- He sounds very impressive. - Krusty Jul 10, 10:27
I was going to do a MFK of 52 yo women but I can't pick: Elizabeth Hurley, Marisa Tomei, Brooke Shields, Kristin Davis, Mary Louise Parker, Sanda - oblique Jul 10, 09:37 2
- Id drop K Davis, SJP and MLP. Then choices get tough. -- nm - budice Jul 10, 09:41
- Brooke has been a long time crush of mine -- nm - eag Jul 10, 09:40
What's been happening in the current season of F1 and the Williams team - I'm off to a film prem about Frank tomorrow - LMS Jul 10, 09:31 3
- Thanks both. -- nm - LMS Jul 10, 09:46
- info here, mid tier currently -- (link) - budice Jul 10, 09:36
- Not a great year. 5th in Team Standings, 10/11th in Individual. Though their young driver did get a podium 2 races ago. - MDH Jul 10, 09:35
"Plastic Water Bottles Might Have Poisoned Ancient Californians" - Clickbait headline but interesting study. -- (link) - Meg Jul 10, 09:27
Megyn Kelly last night (3.2M/0.4) down 200k viewers, no demo change. Lost to a re-run of 60 Minutes and Funniest Videos. -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 09:22 1
- Yeah, I hope they built an exit clause into that contract. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 10:14
I think we're all agreed that Rooney Mara is a little offbeat, but did we ever think she was this out of the ordinary? -- (link) - Roger More Jul 10, 09:21 7
- Monster. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 10:14

- amanda now has a celebrity nemesis. -- nm - ty97 Jul 10, 09:23
- What is weird about that? -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:23
- I'd believe her if she said she never ate any food at all until last year. -- nm - Inigo Jul 10, 09:22
- I find it hard to believe she's ever eaten any solids to be honest. -- nm - LMS Jul 10, 09:22
- she's a witch -- nm - prayformojo Jul 10, 09:22
Speaking of 52 year old women -- (link) - oblique Jul 10, 09:19 7
- Excuse me, I will be in my bedroom -- nm - amoxy Jul 10, 09:57
- "Oh, and also, I have pie for dessert every day." -- nm - E. Hurley Jul 10, 09:35
- She's the anti-Trudeau. You just know her neighbors are a young couple and she's teasing the husband from a distance. -- nm - Max Jul 10, 09:34
- Hugh Grant gave that up...man missin out -- nm - budice Jul 10, 09:33
- she's incredible. -- nm - Diva Jul 10, 09:31
- so, i'm pretty sure he wins the 'hot mom' debate at school. -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 09:30
- god lord almighty -- nm - Epiphany Jul 10, 09:25
Christopher Nolan is working on 4K remasters of the Dark Knight Trilogy. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:13 28
- Link?! -- nm - Shaun Jul 10, 09:27 3
  - It was in a Dunkirk interview. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:28 2
    - Ok. -- nm - Shaun Jul 10, 09:29 1
      - Here! -- (link) - Spawn Jul 10, 09:38
- *Over-rated clap clap clap clap clap* (ducks) -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 09:16 18
  - Still, the cinematography is good. -- nm - Max Jul 10, 09:39
  - the 3rd one yes. but not the 1st two. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 09:18 3
    - 1st one great, 2nd one would be meh if not for Ledger, 3rd one bad -- nm - amoxy Jul 10, 09:56
    - There's over-rated "people think this is good, but it's not" and over-rated "GFBs think TDK is one of the top 10 movies of all time when it's really - Roger More Jul 10, 09:25 1
      - You are welcome to your opinion, as wrong as it may be. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:26
  - agreeance. Not bad by any means, just overrated. -- nm - Diva Jul 10, 09:18 11
    - This. I don't consider them bad at all, just too much hype. -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 09:18 10
      - that's fair to a point. Ledger's Joker though was *amazing* -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 09:24 8
        
        Yeah, I could see them making the arguement for the first one, but when they include that? No way. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:25 7
        
        I liked 'Batman Begins' a lot more than the third one where you can't understand what people are even saying half the time. - Diva Jul 10, 09:30 6
        
        3 is easily the weak link in that trilogy. The audio track forces you to turn it up/down depending on what's happening. - Shaun Jul 10, 09:34 1
        
        nope, you shouldn't. -- nm - Diva Jul 10, 09:39
        
        I agree. 3 was a mess. There's a good movie in there, but Nolan was done and going through the motions -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 09:33
        
        I rank them 1, 2, 3. Love Ledger; but I enjoy Begins more -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 09:32 2
        
        Same here. -- nm - Inigo Jul 10, 10:10
        
        Yeah, Begins is a much better film. The final act of TDK is kind of a mess. -- nm - David Jul 10, 09:37
      - yonh. -- nm - Diva Jul 10, 09:19
  - Why did I unblock you just now to see what you said? -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:17
- nnnniiiccceeee. -- nm - Remlik Jul 10, 09:14 4
  - Yesterday, I kept calling Keaton, Batman. And Logan kept calling him Badman. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:19 3
    - he was so good. that scene in the car...yikes. -- nm - Diva Jul 10, 09:20 2
      - It was Pacific Heights all over again. -- nm - LMS Jul 10, 09:21
      - Exactly. He is is easily the best *actor* to play Batman. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:21
Marisa Tomei -- (link) - decline Jul 10, 09:02 15
- Yes, but switch the wigs... -- nm - Max Jul 10, 09:38 2
  - this isn't an episode of Three's Company, Max -- nm - prayformojo Jul 10, 09:42 1
    - Elizabeth Hurley + Marisa Tomei + James Roday -- nm - Max Jul 10, 09:51
- Marisa still very much LL material -- nm - budice Jul 10, 09:23 1
  - word -- nm - Stark Jul 10, 09:24
- I am old -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 09:20
- Related-tangent: Amy was annoyed for this type of reason when she heard the casting news for Supergirl's mom. (No that she watches) -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:14
- This just reinforces my long held belief that (other than chronological age), our generation is at least 10 years younger at the same age as our - pmb Jul 10, 09:13 1
  - yup -- nm - decline Jul 10, 09:26
- that show was whack with its age casting though. Rue was too young to be her character and Bea Arthur was a year older than her mother. -- nm - Reagen Jul 10, 09:11 1
  - Ages were weird, but they all appeared to be viably what they were portraying. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 09:13
- Whoa. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 09:10
- unpossible -- nm - oblique Jul 10, 09:06
- What the f... -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 09:05
- dammit. people need to stop posting stuff like this. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 10, 09:04
This is the other song that's been playing on constant loop here. So, here. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 10, 08:54 [youtube]
um, what? "Among Republicans, 58% say college is bad for the US. 85% say news is bad" -- (link) - decline Jul 10, 08:52 6
- *burns down the Observatory so this never happens again* -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 09:26
- My dad always said college was for rich kids too lazy to go to work. He wouldn't help pay for my college at all. It's nothing new among rural GOP. -- nm - jnine Jul 10, 09:11
- Conservatives have long derided higher education as too liberal. They're moving on to high schools now. -- (link) - mara Jul 10, 09:09 2
  - Exposing kids to diverse people and view points is such a bad thing! -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 09:17 1
    - "The history that I was taught in school is nothing like the history the kids are being taught today," -- (link) - znufrii Jul 10, 09:26
- Screw you Knowledge! And screw you too, Education! -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 08:53
Has ST discussed Mr. Mercedes? Did not realize they made a TV series for it. - Spawn Jul 10, 08:45 2
- I am wondering how sensitive the opening scene is going to be and hell the last scene at this point. World events and such. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 10, 08:47 1
  - Yup. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 08:49
B2: Hurts: my knee has been good for awhile but now my shoulder hurts when I move it a certain way - Beaker Jul 10, 08:42 1
- Depends which side of the bed I get out of :-) but mostly my right foot resulting from a 30-year-old bunionectomy. -- nm - Meg Jul 10, 08:54
Lost River is a Gay Friendly 'Resort Town' in WVA. This former DC couple is now "rehabbing" a town nearby. The results are an interesting read. -- (link) - MDH Jul 10, 08:37 6
- Having grown up in a town like that, I'll say that them being gay isn't helping, but any "outsider" would get major pushback - Reagen Jul 10, 09:07
- This sounds like a Brietbart headline. -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 08:42 4
  - Heh. It's from one of the local magazine's here. But it's basically what you'd expect. New jobs, lots more money, yet the "old" residents hate them -- nm - MDH Jul 10, 08:43 3
    - Conspiracy to turn red states gay and make everyone some money! -- nm - Mop Jul 10, 08:44 2
      - sssssshhhhhhh - ty97 Jul 10, 08:59 1
        
        How come Mop is apparently in on this plan? -- nm - Roger More Jul 10, 09:10
This is cute - you know the guy mowing his lawn with the tornado behind him? he was in his town's little Canada Day parade. -- (link) - Andie Jul 10, 08:33 3
- did he bring his lawnmower? -- nm - decline Jul 10, 08:36 2
  - yes, yes he did. -- nm - Andie Jul 10, 08:36 1
    - *flings pebbles and broken glass at bystanders* -- nm - lawnmower Jul 10, 08:41
ST Monday movie poll - what did you see? what was the grade? ( next week at this time we will be grading GOT!) -- nm - Epiphany Jul 10, 08:32 22

- "The Big Sick" gets a B+ from me. I've never seen GOT. (nm) - howie Jul 10, 09:04
- I watched A League of Their Own with my GF. I have to say, I think it's my favorite baseball movie ever - Guigue Jul 10, 08:57 4
  - It's easily in my top five, possibly top three. I love it! -- nm - Krusty Jul 10, 09:02
  - You... should see a few more baseball movies. - Spawn Jul 10, 08:59 2
    - I'd put it probably in the top 5, but not on the podium - Will Hunting Jul 10, 09:15
    - I've seen pretty much all the big ones, in my opinion they often don't focus on the right part of the game - Guigue Jul 10, 09:04
- Homecoming: A, Ghost in the Shell: C-, War Dogs: C+, first half of The Great Wall: B-. -- nm - David Jul 10, 08:54

- We finished American Gods last night. I loved it but it's a huge 'WTF is going on' season of tv. -- nm - Shaun Jul 10, 08:44 2
  - Have you read the book? I mean, if you have and it's still WTF, I'm a bit worried. I love the book -- just reread it. Looking forward to the DVD. -- nm - mara Jul 10, 08:49 1
    - Nope. -- nm - Shaun Jul 10, 08:50
- Spider Man HC A+ -- nm - eag Jul 10, 08:42
- I'll grade the GoT now: A+ !!! -- nm - mud Jul 10, 08:42

- Spiderboy: Homecoming - A- (it dragged a bit). Baby Driver (rewatch), still a B (Lilly James doesn't have much range as an actress) -- nm - LMS Jul 10, 08:36 1
  - Oh and Train to Busan - B. -- nm - LMS Jul 10, 08:37
- Logan and I saw Spider-Man: Homecoming. The experience was an A+. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 08:33
