Terry Glenn, former WR - died in a car wreck. -- (link) - Will Hunting Nov 20, 08:45 1
- :( -- nm - budice Nov 20, 08:49
I've heard our Commander In Chief has taken some of his valuable time to tweet about Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn will consider that a badge of honor. - crash davis Nov 20, 08:44 2
- I would prefer it take place outside on someone's front lawn while Mary Steenburgen takes the hose to them both. -- nm - Diva Nov 20, 09:05
- Lavar Ball and Lynch in one week. The height of valor and honor from our Commander-in-Chief. -- nm - volnelk Nov 20, 08:45
Six ribs does sound fairly meticulous. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 20, 08:36
I just did shopping for our Thanksgiving Day dinner. Total: $113.75, but with coupons and my grocery discount card: $63.25 That's nuts -- nm - CQ Nov 20, 08:35 4
- I love stories like this. You are a Coupon and Discount Hero. - Diva Nov 20, 09:06
- Now, just invest the savings in Bitcoin! -- nm - prayformojo Nov 20, 09:00
- Nice. -- nm - znufrii Nov 20, 08:51
- You are a domestic god -- nm - decline Nov 20, 08:50
I should have been a hedge fund billionaire. I would have bought the Bills and after yesterday I would send my GM a text "Hire Colin Kaepernick" -- nm - crash davis Nov 20, 08:34 5
- Bills, Packers, Browns, Dolphins -- nm - budice Nov 20, 08:40
- Ha! he'd get in trouble for breaking the BlackList against him -- nm - Remlik Nov 20, 08:38 3
  - Your Honor, I have here a quote from the internets confirming the existence of a blacklist against my client. -- nm - Kaep's attorney Nov 20, 08:44 2
    - I'm sure some member of the Irsay family has bought comics from him, so I think he is plugged into the conspiracy. -- nm - crash davis Nov 20, 08:45 1
      - Look Jimmy I let me play drums on the set of Ringo drums he has! -- nm - Remlik Nov 20, 08:49
JL is estimated to gross $94M this weekend, down $2M from yesterday’s estimates. -- nm - budice Nov 20, 08:28 26
- If I was a betting man, I would've lost a lot of money on its OW. 100M should've been a piece of cake. - Shaun Nov 20, 08:44 8
  - the reviews did not do it any favors. -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:45 7
    - Sure but even BvS opened to 167M iirc. Wonder Woman's success should've carried over a bit, but it just didn't. -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 08:48 6
      - oh, i think the WW factor did help it. I think it would have been lower without it. -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 08:49 5
        
        In all honesty I think the goodwill from WW added $30M+ to the opening total. DC is being handled so poorly. -- nm - MDH Nov 20, 08:57 4
        
        WB made a huge mistake with SNyder. Hopefully now that WB has brought over Geoff Johns to work on the DC Properties we will see a change. Whedon was - Remlik Nov 20, 09:05 2
        
        I wonder how long the Ultimate Edition will be, assuming they release one. -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 09:06 1
        
        If they're looking to make it better, 70 minutes. -- nm - Ender Nov 20, 09:17
        
        Momoa and Cavill were topless...a lot. -- nm - Shaun Nov 20, 09:04
- ST Poll: Will Black Panther have a better opening than $94M? -- nm - Beaker Nov 20, 08:30 13
  - I'll go no. - Will Hunting Nov 20, 09:02
  - IMO no question. -- nm - MDH Nov 20, 08:59
  - I would bet it hits $100M. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 20, 08:58 1
    - at this point, it would be silly to bet against Marvel. -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:59
  - I think it's 50/50, but it's also Apples and Oranges. By all rightsJL ought to do 4x the business of a relatively minor character like Black Panther. -- nm - Ender Nov 20, 08:48 1
    - Meanwhile, DC: "I dunno, Superhero teamups are hard..." Marvel: "Here's a talking tree and a raccoon with a machine gun!" -- nm* - Reagen Nov 20, 08:53
  - Eventually, these super hero movies have to run their course. They're becoming watered down imo. -- nm - CQ Nov 20, 08:43
  - oh yes. -- nm - Remlik Nov 20, 08:42
  - my guess is no. -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 08:40 3
    - agreed. -- nm - Beaker Nov 20, 08:49 2
      - My high school friends on FB, who are african american, are all over this movie already. - groiny Nov 20, 08:51 1
        
        it is a big deal. i still don't think it makes $90M. -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 08:59
  - my early guess is absolutely -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:32
- that is a shame, it is better than that -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:28 2
  - Yeah, I'll grant that. It's exactly the movie it should be. -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 08:32 1
    - take out the first 20 minutes, which were boring as fuck, the rest is really solid. -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:33
Do vertebrae count as joints? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 08:25 10
- not the vertebrae themselves, but they are facet joints -- (link) - Reagen Nov 20, 08:34 1
  - Perhaps I should’ve said “jointed”. Thanks. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 08:37
- No they're bone. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 08:31 1
  - But there are joints between them. -- (link*) - Krusty Nov 20, 08:32
- in what context? -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:25 5
  - Talking to a grade 2 about joints in the human body. Elbows and knees. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 08:27 4
    - And ankles and wrists. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 08:27 3
      - I would not think so. -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:28
      - And fingers and toes. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 08:27 1
        
        At that level of abstraction, then yes they are joints. -- nm - Reagen Nov 20, 08:36
Movies this weekend: Lady Bird: A-, Three Billboards: B+ - MDH Nov 20, 08:23 4
- Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox C; watched The Big Short again after I got a discount digital code, still an A+ -- nm - crash davis Nov 20, 08:26 1
  - The Big Short is so good. -- nm - MDH Nov 20, 08:30
- Justice League B-, Punisher B+ -- nm - groiny Nov 20, 08:23 1
  - 3 episodes in to Punisher, really liking it. -- nm - Beaker Nov 20, 08:30
Giant Extinct Sea Cow Found Buried Beneath Siberian Beach -- (link) - crash davis Nov 20, 08:22
(UGH) Bill de Blasio is going to Iowa next month he tells @GloriaPazmino, and admits to plans to form a PAC. -- (link) - ty97 Nov 20, 08:18 2
- There will be 1,905 (approx.) Democrats running in 2020. - spamlet Nov 20, 08:21 1
  - All of them. -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 08:24

- Opening weekend -- nm - Mop Nov 20, 08:24
- when I find a discount digital code -- nm - crash davis Nov 20, 08:22
- Pretty soon after opening. As a bachelor, this is a pretty easy thing to find a date for. - con_carne Nov 20, 08:21
- Sunday of opening weekend. -- nm - Andie Nov 20, 08:07
- Not anytime soon. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 20, 08:04
- Between Christmas and New Year's when I'm in Tampa with my cousins, as has become tradition. -- nm - ty97 Nov 20, 08:03
