Hilarious. Got my Magikarp candy and there was, of all things, a Magikarp raid at the gym located at the park. - oblique Jul 23, 10:22 2
- sure, those easy ones are a great way to up your level at the gym and get razz berries, etc. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 10:40
- Also. Gyrados doesn't have Hydro Pump so I guess now I finally have something to try Charge TM on when I get some -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 10:28

  - Sorry, I'm going to defend the Milky Way. As soon as I find a spaceship and a talking raccoon. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 10:24
- That's where we came from. We escaped the old dying galaxy when we realized Andromeda was coming for us. - not sycor Jul 23, 10:20 2
  - At the hospital, I found a channel called MeTV. It had the old Battlestar Galactica. I forgot how bad it could be at times. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 10:25 1

- It's not "States Rights". It's "Business Rights". -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 10:03
- good luck with that! -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 09:54

  - its uncanny and surely Disney really didn't hire James Woods for voice work?! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 10:05 2
    - Based on the IG post, I'd assume he may have done some more voice work as Hades from Hercules. -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 10:07 1
      - Yeah, that's how I'm reading it. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 10:13
- That just about sums it up. If Disney's got a problem with Gunn's posts, they're gonna have to do *A LOT* of purging. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 09:53
- well said. -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 09:52

- what was it for? -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:43 3
  - might have been some type of drug -- nm - decline Jul 23, 09:47 2
    - That would fall under the "unless they're for medical treatment" though. I'd suspect it was rehydration. -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 09:52 1
      - (it was vitamins) -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:21
- Oh, I know I use IV's casually all the time! -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 09:41 1
  - I am using two, right now. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:42
- damn the number 4! -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:39
we are interviewing a russian dude for an IT project manager job. it is literally all I can do not to say "in soviet russia, projects manage you!" -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 09:31
Case in point about Twitter's issues: Russian/Right wing bots started a "walkaway" hashtag about leaving the Dem party. It's trending within hours - MDH Jul 23, 09:31
ST Movie Poll - what did you see? what was the grade? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 09:31 29

  - oh really? that equalizer grade is interesting. -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 10:23

  - uh oh... -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 09:52
- Mamma Mia 2: A, What's Eating Gilbert Grape: C -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 09:48
- mamma mia 2 -- maybe B-? the social network (I love this movie so much) -- A+. two eps of succession -- A-. one ep sharp objects -- A- -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 09:44 2
  - The Social Network is one of the best movies this decade. It should have won Picture/Actor. - MDH Jul 23, 09:48 1
    - I listened to the rewatchables on it when it dropped and then *had* to watch this weekend. the score is so incredible. -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 09:51
- Hearts Beat Loud: A- -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 09:41

- Which reminds me, there's a T-Rex outside my office today. -- (link) - LMS Jul 23, 09:36 8
  - I hope he and the Giant Goldblum fight -- nm - decline Jul 23, 09:39
  - (should go below Andie's post) -- nm - LMS Jul 23, 09:37 6
    - You would rather the TRex be after Andie than outside your office? - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:38 4
      - Popped out for a picture -- (pic) - LMS Jul 23, 09:52 [Attachment] 1

        truth -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:43
    - You're under dinosaur attack. It's miraculous that you can post at all. -- nm - David Jul 23, 09:37

- Sing!, B- -- nm - znufrii Jul 23, 09:34
- Transylvania Hotel 3 - C- -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 09:34
- Jurassic last night (theatre surprising full). What a mess of a movie. And what the hell is that time line? Did everything happen in, like, a day? -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:32
Avenged Svenfold have canceled the summer tour due to lead singer following doctors orders to rest damaged vocal chords -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 09:27 2
- The good news if there is such, they don't have a new album they are touring for. -- nm - Qale Jul 23, 09:30
- :( ~ Hail to the King!~ -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 09:30
I am really enjoying both sharp objects and succession. nice show, hbo. -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 09:19
Alita: Battle Angel trailer... -- (link) - Remlik Jul 23, 09:13 [youtube] 3
- Cool. -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 10:27

  - ::googles Uncanny Valley:: -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:41
James Gunn: Rooker quits twitter, Pratt is quoting bible verses, Batista is pissed.... -- (link) - Remlik Jul 23, 08:53 28
- The russian bot army is eating up this story, and claiming victory that Mamma Mia wasn't #1 (Streep being their enemy). oh twitter. -- nm - MDH Jul 23, 09:05 2
  - But... She wasn't in this one. -- nm - Qale Jul 23, 09:31 1
    - Bots can't see movies. -- nm - MDH Jul 23, 09:44
- Filming on Vol 3 was starting soon -- nm - Budice Jul 23, 08:59
- How far into the production of G3 were they? I wonder how likely it is that Disney will walk-back the firing. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 08:59
- Why do they have a picture of Billy Gunn at the end of that? -- nm - David Jul 23, 08:59 8
  - Can you feel it in the air? - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:24 1
    - Dan-ger. -- nm - David Jul 23, 09:29
  - it's a bit that the writer of that site does. Whenever he talks about James Gunn he uses Billy Gunn's picture -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 09:19 1
    - "Don't." -- nm - David Jul 23, 09:29
  - what about Anna Gunn? -- nm - Budice Jul 23, 09:02 1
    - still hate her -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:02
  - because he is bad ass -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:00 1
    - ~ I'm an ass man! ~ -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 09:02
- honestly, I do not blame them. - groiny Jul 23, 08:55 13
  - word -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 09:45
  - Agreed. -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 09:43
  - I like that Rooker quit Twitter in a huff but is staying on Instagram. Just another flavor of the same thing. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 08:57 10
    - nope -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 09:18
    - I dunno. I find IG very positive and uplifting. Twitter=cesspool. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 23, 09:11 8
      - [deleted]
      - I guess I need to look at IG again. I could not find how you really chose what you wanted to see. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:19 1
        
        you have to follow people/feeds. it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less meme-full, much more enjoyable. -- nm* - Andie Jul 23, 09:25
      - i never, ever, go to Twitter. I don't feel like I get anything out of it. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:12 4
        
        the only time I ever go to twitter is when you guys link me. -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 09:15 3
        
        yep. i guess occasionally (like, yearly, maybe), I will follow a hashtag if something major is happening in the world to get real time updates. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 09:16 2
        
        oh actually me too. on state patty's day, I check out twitter. lately more I use snapchat bc heat maps. -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 09:19
        
        Same. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 23, 09:17
Of all the trailers I saw from SDCC, I liked Discovery most, and Glass 2nd. DC brings up the rear with Shazam and finally Aquaman. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 08:50 41
- I liked Aquaman's, was highly intrigued by Glass, thought Shazam looked dumb (Big as a superhero could be great though), and Godzilla was a steaming - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:04 21
  - You *liked* Aquaman? Go to doctor right now! -- nm - David Jul 23, 09:07 20
    - It was brighter than 90% of DCEU stuff, Momoa is clearly having a blast and the quips worked for me. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:08 19
      - A Special Ops mission at midnight on a moonless night is brighter than 80% of DCEU films... -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 09:42
      - You posted this from the car on the way to the doctor's office, right? -- nm - David Jul 23, 09:29 5
        
        So, what didn't work for you besides Heard being a terrible actress? - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:40 4
        
        All of it. All of it didn't work for me. -- nm - TWuG Jul 23, 09:44
        
        I thought that the dialogue issues plagued everyone and was kind of mortified for James Wan that this was the best trailer from his work thus far. - David Jul 23, 09:41 2
        
        I didn't know who directed it, but once I saw his name, I was a lot more comfortable. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:53 1
        
        I agree with will -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 10:09
      - There were colours everywhere! -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 09:11 11
        
        I like to see what I'm seeing. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:13 10
        
        I have hopes that they do a little bit of color correction before it is released. - groiny Jul 23, 09:15 9
        
        I did welcome the brighter palette, but I do also agree with you. Heard looked almost completely fake. -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 09:19 8
        
        Realism comes from acting talent. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:20 7
        
        No amount of acting talent can fix a wig. -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 09:40 2
        
        a BAD wig. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:42 1
        
        A good wig doesn't need fixing... -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 09:44
        
        may as well have been Jessica Rabbit. -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:21 3
        
        See, *that* was a redhead done right. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:23 2
        
        They could ask her to act. -- nm - David Jul 23, 09:30
        
        ask JDEPP -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 09:24
- Shazam looked god awful to me. - groiny Jul 23, 08:51 11
  - I liked it. It's a totally different type of super hero movie, but for DC that's a good thing. I think it could totally work. -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 09:45 2
    - Shazam looks like it has the potential to be good, but will probably suck. Aquaman just looks godawful -- (edited) - TWuG Jul 23, 09:47
    - yup -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 09:45
  - Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 23, 09:20
  - It had a "I might see it with MoviePass" feel. I see every superhero movie, and I actively want to avoid Aquaman. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 08:52 1
    - I am sure I will see Aquaman, but I am not going anywhere near Shazam. -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 08:53
  - An Aquman/Shazam double feature could be used as punishment. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 08:52 4
    - parts of Aquaman looked interesting, but it looked way too cartooney for my liking. -- nm - groiny Jul 23, 08:53 3
      - I loved the sequence at the aquarium. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 08:58 2
        
        What if a whole movie was just a series of quips? -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 08:59 1
        
        like Die Hard? -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 10:15
- Godzilla might edge out Glass, for me. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 08:51 6
  - Not liking Godzilla because it's got that apocalyptic vibe I dislike in movies. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 08:51 5
    - Yeah, giant monsters all over the earth should be Happy Fun-Time. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 08:52 4
      - *shrug* Don't like the genre. Like 2012 or San Andreas. Not my cup of tea. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 08:55 3
        
        You could argue that giant monsters *are* natural disasters, but I would disagree. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 09:21
        
        Uh, San Andreas had the Dadds all soaked up in a white tank top. - Shaun Jul 23, 09:03 1
        
        worked for me -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 09:20
LYC: Today's plan: Haircut at lunch and then hit that Magikarp nest on the way back to work and get those damn last 3 candies - oblique Jul 23, 08:50 2
- Can anyone tell me what that Raichu was that I saw this weekend? Was it a special event or am I likely to see them again? -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 08:51 1
  - The Alolan form that rides the surf board tail? -- nm - SyrDragon Jul 23, 10:20
Get it Krusty. It's the console you deserve. -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 08:49 2
- Ha! I don't play enough games these days to justify another system. -- nm - Krusty Jul 23, 08:55 1
  - Spider-Man is the only game you need! -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 08:55
