- I will use them if AA doesn't have the routing I want. -- nm - Meg Jul 12, 12:35 1
  - ST has led me to believe AA is history's greatest monster. Or perhaps only used by people with not the most urgent travel plans -- nm* - con_carne Jul 12, 12:38

    - Some part of me likes the fact that The Good Place flies under the radar like it does, so those of in the know can keep it for ourselves - Babarón Jul 12, 12:35

death has a dignity all its own -- nm - Beaker Jul 12, 11:22
LYC: Watched 'A Quiet Place' again last night. Damn that's a good movie. I did especially enjoy the number of times they sign "Listen to me" :) -- nm* - oblique Jul 12, 11:17 7
- Remind me, at one point does the captioning for the sign language read "(garbled)" or something because the daughter gets flustered? -- nm - Max Jul 12, 11:43 2

  - wrong decade and promotion Crash! -- nm - Remlik Jul 12, 11:15 2
    - Possibly. But they should take a hint from Sam Sylvia's background and hire Rob Zombie or Robert Rodriguez. -- nm - crash davis Jul 12, 11:19
    - But still had as much of a chance of a nom! -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 12, 11:17

        It is a bit like proving you can juggle by throwing swords at you -- nm - oblique Jul 12, 11:25
Did you know this amazing trivia about Die Hard? - mara Jul 12, 10:54 19
- Semi-tangent: The Bruce Willis roast is the first I have thought about watching, in ages. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 12, 11:31

        I agree with this, except as noted, I haven't seen five -- nm - crash davis Jul 12, 11:40 2
        
        I think I've seen all of it ... it came off as an excuse to make another movie, rather than a good idea to make another movie. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 11:43 1
        
        Oh, and furthermore it seemed like an attempt to keep the "franchise" going with a new character. Poorly executed. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 11:43
        
        I have yet to watch #5 -- nm - crash davis Jul 12, 11:25

    - and the best part is her 600 k will be quite a bit less afterwards -- nm - groiny Jul 12, 11:19 1
      - I'm sure they'll be some community backlash too. She's not going to have a great time around there anymore. -- nm - Shaun Jul 12, 11:51
