- Many of them are our spies. -- nm - Spawn Jul 31, 10:51
- It curtails the amount of services available to US citizens abroad. Although services to Russians may be impacted more. -- (link) - mara Jul 31, 10:09
- On a more serious note, while dramatic its not quite as effective as the sanctions bill. Real life Cersei has to start delivering better economically - crash davis Jul 31, 10:06
- Kicking them out of Russia? It's a common political move. Usually there's supposed to be a retaliation. - Beryllium Jul 31, 10:00

    - I can't remember most of your team, but I know you have Doug Baldwin -- nm - crash davis Jul 31, 09:42 7
      - Oh, Crash. Aim higher. -- nm - David Jul 31, 09:48 6
        
        He might....not have room to? - Will Hunting Jul 31, 09:56 3
        
        Wow, Baldwin is actually my best WR from last year. - Will Hunting Jul 31, 10:05 2
        
        I love how random fantasy football is. -- nm - David Jul 31, 10:06 1
        
        My WR corp is a mix and match of "he's good" - Will Hunting Jul 31, 10:09
        
        since Baldwin's QB sucks, I'm sure Will trade him cheaply to me -- nm - crash davis Jul 31, 09:55 1
        
        Why not just wait to draft him in round 9? -- nm - David Jul 31, 09:56

    - You see what I mean people? -- nm - Shaun Jul 31, 09:41 1
      - Oh we know. He's been cray cray for some time now -- nm - Epiphany Jul 31, 09:43
  - No. I like her. But she's already a Jean Grey and Sansa Stark, I think you go semi-unknown.... -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 09:39 1
    - My initial reaction is unknown. But that takes the fun out of what Mop wanted to achieve, talking about people we know -- nm - crash davis Jul 31, 09:54
  - she's also a Marvel, so no deal. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 09:38 16
    - I had no idea until Remlik just told me there that she is Jean Grey. Shows how much I pay attention to Marvel -- nm - crash davis Jul 31, 09:40 8
      - Xmen Apocolypse is a horrid, horrid movie - you didn't miss a thing -- nm - Epiphany Jul 31, 09:46 7

        that and damn good cameo spoils - Remlik Jul 31, 09:50

        meh. It's still decent. -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 09:50
    - that doesn't matter. Actors are going back and forth -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 09:39 6
      - Thor said that Marvel folks aren't allowed DC'ing it up. It's in their contracts. - Shaun Jul 31, 09:41 3
        
        that must be new-ish then. Which makes sense.... -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 09:43 2
        
        I'll wait to see if they hire JK Simmons back though. -- nm - Roger More Jul 31, 09:47 1
        
        Would be interesting if Sony did that -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 09:47
      - I don't think it's a good choice, but she's also FOX Marvel, not Marvel Marvel. -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 09:40
      - See Ender?! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 31, 09:40
First pic of Domino from Deadpool 2. -- (link*) - Shaun Jul 31, 09:24 4

- fireworks superstore -- nm - crash davis Jul 31, 09:27
- Pornography store. -- nm - Roger More Jul 31, 09:26 7

  - Full marks. Adult video and "men's spa" according to the signage. - Shardik the Baron Jul 31, 09:27 5
    - Well, how was the massage? -- nm - Spawn Jul 31, 09:29 4
      - A little rough but the rainfall music and essential oils really made up for it. Three stars on Yelp. -- nm - StB SI Jul 31, 09:32 3
        
        This makes me wonder if Adult stores have Yelp profiles -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 09:34 1

Man, it's really a slow news day. People are complaining about Trump saying 'boardroom' instead of 'cabinet room' -- nm - decline Jul 31, 09:07 2
- I would not "complain" about it but it does further prove his mindset that he is the boss of this country. -- nm - Spawn Jul 31, 09:09

- I haven't paid too much attention to this, but is it the equivalent of an alternative WW2 story where the jews are the bad guys? - LMS Jul 31, 09:33
- Well 1) I don't trust the GoT people to have a thoughtful, measured take on this - Reagen Jul 31, 09:17 4

    - re: white people suffering - that's a whole subgenre of shows on premium cable - Reagen Jul 31, 09:25

- I mean, I'm pretty sure they're not going to come down on pro-slavery side of things... -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 09:12 2
  - to me it's a bit like (but not exactly so) The Day The Clown Cried (which I admit I am morbidly curious to see) - Reagen Jul 31, 09:38
  - I dunno. They did see how GoT takes standard narrative tropes and subverts them. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 31, 09:16
- You are not allowed to question the freak out. Either you endorse it or you're right up there with Hitler. - Shardik the Baron Jul 31, 09:08 1
  - [deleted]

Paul McCartney has written an anti-Trump song -- (link) - Remlik Jul 31, 08:38 10
- I was a bit surprised that he did not make one comment during the show about Trump. -- nm - groiny Jul 31, 08:45 7
  - The Roger Waters show was all Trump all the time. Even the confetti that fell at the end had the word "Resist" printed on it. -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 08:47 6
    - well the 1st half had some anti-trump, but man that 2nd half was powerful. the Animals songs were tremendous. -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 08:48 5
      - Yeah, really great. I loved the various images of Trump with "Charade". -- nm - pmb Jul 31, 08:50 4
        
        I'm sure he will, but I hope there's a dvd and cd of the tour -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 08:55 3

RIP Sam Shepard.. -- (link) - Remlik Jul 31, 08:21 3

- For a moment, I thought you meant Sam Elliott. -- sad either way -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 31, 08:22 3
  - Same here - con_carne Jul 31, 08:24 2
    - Oddly, Sam Elliott looks the same now as he did back in 1975. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 31, 08:27 1
      - He just tosses Father Time that "are you an idiot or what" look every year or so. That's how that works -- nm - con_carne Jul 31, 08:29
Speaking of war movies...I watched a few mins of "The Charge of the Light Brigade" for the first time...that was either humorous satire or... - Mel Profit Jul 31, 08:20 3
- which one? if it was the 1968 movie, I'd say yeah it definitely has a late 1960s feel - crash davis Jul 31, 08:36 1
  - That's the one. Everyone was clearly high as eff. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 31, 09:09
- Have you seen Oh What a Lovely War? I'm put off by the tone of that one so haven't seen it. -- nm - LMS Jul 31, 08:26
Atomic Blonde spoiler question - Ender Jul 31, 08:13 10
- [deleted] 5
  - spoils - Roger More Jul 31, 08:26 4
    - No, we're not. I think his interpretation is entirely possible, but I don't think the movie makes it at all clear either way. -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 08:31 3
      - [deleted]
      - Oops, sorry -- nm - Roger More Jul 31, 08:33 1
        
        No worries. :) -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 08:44
- (Ultimately I found it stylish but forgettable. It's problematic that I didn't know the main character's name as I walked out of the theater.) -- nm - Ender Jul 31, 08:19 2
  - [deleted]
  - it was lazily written in the extreme. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 31, 08:21

  - I'd wager there won't be any bundles. -- nm - Shaun Jul 31, 08:39
- Very possibly -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 08:20
- Me! Me! Me! -- nm - David's iPad Jul 31, 08:18 2
  - I'd like to think they learned a lot from the Pro rollout, but we'll see in November. -- nm - Shaun Jul 31, 08:20
  - You're a tablet, David's iPad. You have your own games. -- nm - con_carne Jul 31, 08:19
- Nope. Not even exactly sure why anyone who has an Xbox One already would? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 31, 08:16
Start the countdown. 3 days to the start of the NFL Preseason. - GregW Jul 31, 08:09
