This ghost rider movie is terrible. So stupid. But kinda fun. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 23:45 2
- agreed, but more dumb than fun -- nm - Beaker Oct 19, 03:51
- It’s almost like they wanted to cast David Schwimmer. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 23:48
Did this get linked already? It’s very funny. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 18, 22:58
Here’s The Tragically Hip on SNL. Good night, everybody. -- (link) - Mop Oct 18, 22:53
One of the most WTF things I’ve seen today (and I’ve seen many): Microsoft has a Chrome plugin that’s basically a bug tracking and testing platform. -- (link) - Mop Oct 18, 22:41
Help me do my homework: If you know of a multi-event season championship sport with a points system, could you post and summarize it? -- nm - Max Oct 18, 22:23 8
- For instance, the PGA Tour - Max Oct 18, 22:31 2
  - NASCAR. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 22:39 1
    - That was my next thought after the PGA, but I wasn't sure. -- nm - Meg Oct 18, 22:41
- and if you know of one well regarded (or you like) as fair but also competitive for mid-range competitors, let me know. -- nm - Max Oct 18, 22:25 4
  - the Red Bull Air Races & Grand Prix car races come to mind but I do not follow them. I just watch if I notice they are on tv. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 22:43 3
    - Indy Car, a number of the international sownhill ski events. Probably most of them X-Games ski and snowboard sports too. Probably motorcross and bmx -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 22:54 2
      - Here’s you go. Alpine Skiing World Cup. 38 events, points totals. -- (link) - Mop Oct 18, 22:59 1
        
        Pretty much anything with a “tour” or “circuit”. Here’s the World Snowboard Tour. -- (link) - Mop Oct 18, 23:06
ancient Siberian/Mongolian Petroglyphs -- (link) - peglegpete Oct 18, 21:40 1
- Heh, I just now finished a newsletter column about some historic period pictographs incorporating elements from the ancient past. -- (pic) - Meg Oct 18, 21:55 [Attachment]
Someone should make a doc about nazi twitter bots and call it The Bots from Brazil. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 21:16
Maddon..heh -- nm - budice Oct 18, 21:14
Because WTF: Trump apparently promised $25,000 to a Gold Star father, and then never followed through. -- (link) - Mop Oct 18, 21:02 4
- Because of course he didn’t. -- nm - znufrii Oct 18, 21:14
- Everyone expected it to be complete BS. To cap it off with, literally, “the check is in the mail today” ... - Beryllium Oct 18, 21:09 2
  - I just wonder if he (Trump) meant (or simply assumed) that this was something the Pentagon did for grieving families. Because, frankly... - Mop Oct 18, 21:27 1
    - Because everything else he says doesn't sound terrible? -- nm - jnine Oct 18, 21:34
Oscars: Warner brothers going in for Wonder Woman.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 18, 20:55 7
- that's laughable in any of the major categories. I guess they gotta try. -- nm - mafic Oct 18, 21:00 2
  - SFX, Costume Design... -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 21:03 1
    - my addendum was going to be 'but sure, technical awards.' (but they don't get a look at acting, directing, BP). -- nm - mafic Oct 18, 21:04
- Ha. Adapted Screenplay. I guess so. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 20:58
- [deleted]

John Green’s new book is getting the best reviews of his career. - Mop Oct 18, 20:52
I have good news ST. - ty97 Oct 18, 20:10 9
- I'm telling you, it's part of the Body Snatchers invasion. They are still working out the kinks. nm -- (pic) - ralph wiggum Oct 18, 21:16 [Attachment]
- you're Melania's body double? cool :)) -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 20:44
- Say tomorrow Melania comes out and admits the body double. Then what? I mean, WTF? - Mop Oct 18, 20:15 1
  - I mean, does it matter at all? it'd be dishonest, I guess, but really who cares? it's fox news level paranoia. -- nm - mafic Oct 18, 20:59
- Keep thinking the android bots in Austin Powers -- nm - budice Oct 18, 20:12 4
  - It’s funny, because I thought “Austin Powers” too, but more like “That’s a MAN, baby!” - Mop Oct 18, 20:36 3
    - So your theory is that Melania hired a double, and trump just doesn’t know? This could be viable. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 20:37 2
      - My theory is Trump doesn’t know *anything* that’s happening around him. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 20:44 1
        
        Unless *somebody* tells him. Then it's total fact. -- nm - Meg Oct 18, 22:57
"not even a light bulb" *scene is lit* -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 20:04 1
- CBR film. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 20:08
FWIW, if The-Numbers.com is 20 years old today, so is The Trades. I registered both domains on the same day. The tag line always said “Since 1997”. - Mop Oct 18, 19:44 13
- And (repost) if you haven’t read Bruce’s piece on the 20th anniversary of The-Numbers.com, you should. Stunning behind the scenes look at the industry - Mop Oct 18, 21:31
- I’m grateful to all of you who contributed to The Trades over the years and apologize to those of you who hated me because of it. - Mop Oct 18, 20:10 7
  - Somehow I got an official page on Rotten Tomatoes out of it, so I'm cool with you. -- (link) - Qale Oct 18, 20:42 6
    - Me too! -- (link) - JaxSean Oct 18, 20:50 3
      - Me too! There’s a bunch of reviews under my name, but I didn’t write them. I guess I was the “catch all” for “everybody else”. - Mop Oct 18, 20:56
      - We don't count towards the tomato meter though. Boo! -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 20:54 1
        
        But we *used* to! Pacific Rim, A+! -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 20:57
    - Yup. The Trades is a certified source at RT. Go figure. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 20:45 1
      - I would have been consistent too. I gave Kung Pow Enter the Fist an A+. Years later, I gave Movie 42 on my own site B+ showing I love absurd movies. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 20:53
- wow -- nm - Max Oct 18, 20:00
- Loved the reviews on The Trades. Was The Numbers where we had the weekly IRC on the adjusts? -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 18, 19:54 2
  - HSJ did that -- nm - Karl_S Oct 18, 20:51
  - I don’t think The Numbers ran an IRC channel. It’s where box office revenues are database. It’s still going strong. - Mop Oct 18, 20:07
Are the giants playing right now? Field lights are on. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 19:40 1
- alas, their season is over. nothing is showing for at&t park for a few weeks, maybe just doing maintenance. -- nm - b. Oct 18, 20:05
Anyone here happen to work at kaiser permanente? Their building would be a great vantage for a night-fog cityscape. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 19:38 1
- IPhone tried, but ... -- (pic) - Beryllium Oct 18, 19:42 [Attachment]
Wally West's haircut = tragic -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 19:35
A public school in Mississippi named after Jefferson Davis is being renamed to Barack Obama. -- nm - Spawn Oct 18, 19:18 2
- *OUTRAAAAAAAGE!!!!!* -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 19:21
- Thats cool -- nm - budice Oct 18, 19:19
Well, either I’ve been kidnapped or Lyft’s got some serious bugs -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 19:13 4
- Just a bug. All sorted now. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 19:37 2
  - Then why is your ear wiggling? -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 19:38 1
    - Rumours of ear wiggles have been greatly exaggerated. No wiggles. You’re wiggles. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 20:36
- Wiggle your left ear if you fear for your life. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 19:16
I'm kind of loving the new Dynasty -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 19:09 1
- I'm kind of loving the new Destiny - WSS Oct 18, 19:10
Pacers just dropped 140 points on the Brooklyn Nets. -- nm - Remlik Oct 18, 19:00 1
- And they gave up 131. Apparently neither team played defense tonight. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 20:09
Happy Birthday Zac Efron! -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 18:58
i think D.B. Woodside must have knee issues judging by the way he walks on Lucifer - Reagen Oct 18, 18:57
Well, The Snowman starts off pretty good, - Andie Oct 18, 18:51 4
- Meanwhile, Geostorm is trashy throughout. -- nm - Diva Oct 18, 19:13 2
  - But, in an excellent way, right? - Andie Oct 18, 19:37 1
    - YES! -- nm - Diva Oct 19, 11:51
- Effin' Global Warming! -- nm - Spawn Oct 18, 19:00
I have been putting off slash ignoring slash trying to self-medicate ENT issues since April. I finally get to the specialist and she's like dude. - Qale Oct 18, 18:46
So what is the Sanders Cruz debate on CNN supposed to solve? -- nm - budice Oct 18, 18:44 3
- You're talking about it, right? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 03:20
- Ratings! -- nm - spamlet Oct 18, 19:03
- Whether you like Cruz. There has to be one undecided person out there. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 18:46
Sunset landing at SFO. We landed at the same time as another plane I was watching out the window. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 18:40 3
- I’ve done that at SFO as well. Coming in side by side is both graceful like synchronized swimming and terrifying like demolition derby. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 20:13
- should have been pretty with all the particulate matter in the air. :) - -- nm - b. Oct 18, 18:57
- Did you pass the Grey Poupon? -- nm - budice Oct 18, 18:40
‘Chelsea’ canceled after 2 seasons at Netflix -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 18:38 3

His Dark Materials...any good? cause a new trilogy by Philip Pullman just started (The Book of Dust) -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 18:37 1
- yes. the first one is fabulous, the others are still great, but just not quite as great. -- nm - mafic Oct 18, 18:47
Cool Survivor tribal. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 18, 18:35
Snowman 26% (11/31), Only the Brave 91% (31/3), Geostorm, Madea Halloween and Same Kind of Different As Me - no score yet (NSY) -- nm - Beaker Oct 18, 18:10 3
- I had thought Only The Brave would be cheesy superficial. But it looks like they went and made a serious movie. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 18:20 2
  - Part 1 of Miles Teller Attempts To Not Look Like A Douchebag month. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 18:27 1
    - Well that ended quickly -- nm - ty97 Oct 18, 18:28

- Thank you for this. Your recovery is truly amazing. - Covington Oct 19, 02:30 2
  - Mortal life is often a heavy burden. Keep doing the work, keep trying. Survive the issues, and you will be a hero to people who love you. -- nm - landbeck Oct 19, 03:02 1
    - I think "Be more like landbeck" has lots of impact and makes for a smaller sign but this works, too. :) - Covington Oct 19, 03:32
- It’s truly amazing. The fact that you survived and have recovered as much as you have (and continue to recover) has honestly been one of the best - pmb Oct 18, 20:34 1
  - Yes, this. -- nm - kelly, bobcat Oct 18, 21:41
- Wow. Glad to see you recovering well. -- nm - . Oct 18, 19:23
- If they’d done that crash on CHiPs, I wouldn’t have believed it. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 19:21
- I honestly have no words other than to say I'm glad you're here and I have no doubt why. -- nm - spamlet Oct 18, 19:08
- Thanks for sharing...so glad things came out this way. Praying for continued recovery -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 18, 19:07
- outstanding -- nm - mud Oct 18, 19:02
- amazing -- nm - Remlik Oct 18, 18:59
- I do not use the word miracle very much, but this story, and your recovery, are. -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 18:53
- just speechless. so happy you are doing so well. -- nm - Jovian Oct 18, 18:51
- Thank you for writing that. Glad you made it back to us and your family! - Guigue Oct 18, 18:37

- Apparently you've got more work left to do, Landbeck. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 18:30
- um wow. So glad you're still here -- nm - Karl_S Oct 18, 18:29
- From beginning with "why do bad things happen to good people" I think we've learned that good things can happen too. - Meg Oct 18, 18:19
- I'm not finding the proper words to express myself. I am so glad you made it through. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 18:19

  - *lead* -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 18:22
- That's crazy and amazing. We're all so very happy you're recovering well. - Krusty Oct 18, 18:18
- Just...unfathomable. So glad you are here and doing so well! -- nm - ty97 Oct 18, 18:13
- I think that nurse that stopped to help had a lot to do with your survival at least from the news article -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 18:11 2
  - True. If she hadn't intubated me on scene, I likely would have died. -- nm - landbeck Oct 18, 18:18 1
    - this reminded me that I had nurses stop twice for accidents. - b. Oct 18, 18:39
- man. that's crazy. I hope you don't have a protracted insurance/legal battle now. -- nm - mafic Oct 18, 18:07 1
  - OTOH, maybe with workman's comp (you were driving to work, could count) drool and talk jibberish at your interview and get disability at full salary?? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 18:13
- Amazing will on your part. Be thankful *and* just a bit proud that you beat a car to the face. -- nm - TWuG, neck model Oct 18, 17:59 2
  - AND despite the fact it broke most of my face bones, it didn't break my nose. -- nm - landbeck Oct 18, 18:16 1
    - Giving yet another meaning to the phrase "a good strong nose" . - . Oct 18, 19:21
- I am so glad you are still with us. -- nm - peglegpete Oct 18, 17:56
- *all the hugs* - b. Oct 18, 17:55
- Quite something, just glad you're here. -- nm - budice Oct 18, 17:51
- I am so glad you are here! I remember seeing my car after my accident (months later). It was C-shaped from being wrapped around the tree. - Spawndroid Oct 18, 17:51 3
  - I'm not sure if I'm glad or not that I wasn't able to see mine, aside from a bit from the ambulance. - b. Oct 18, 18:03 1
    - I wish I could have seen it up in the tree. -- nm - Spawn Oct 18, 19:01
  - LOL. I was telling Amy about your post and I looked down at the placemats to find a tiny shard of glass. I kinda freaked until Amy said she broke some - Spawndroid Oct 18, 17:56
- It fills me with joy that you're still around, and with awe as well. -- (edited) - znufrii Oct 18, 17:50 1
