USA Today: 'Bumblebee' is the great 'Transformers' movie we've been wanting forever -- (link) - Remlik Dec 10, 12:47 21
- Cena must die horribly like 14 times. -- nm* - David Dec 10, 12:57
- I'm very happy he's back to being a Beetle like he should be. I hated him as a Camaro. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 12:56
- Cant wait. Pumped for this, Spideyverse and something else I cant think of atm. -- nm - Jovian Dec 10, 12:51 10
  - Mary Poppins? Aquaman? VICE? -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:52 5
    - Aquaman or as I call it, The Black Manta Movie. -- nm - Jovian Dec 10, 12:54 4
      - I am actually very pleased with the look of Black Manta. - groiny Dec 10, 12:57 1
        
        I am annoyed that they felt the need to put how many bad guys in the movie? -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:58
      - Yes. Or as I call it, The DCWB Finally Realized They Need A Non-CGI Villain In This Movie*. - Spawn Dec 10, 12:57 1
        
        "Can't we just bring back Steppenwolf?" "No." "Not even the band?" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:57
  - that Marwen movie has me intriqued -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:52 3
    - Me too. But the other flick I was thinking of is Aquaman. Looks amazing. - Jovian Dec 10, 12:53 1
      - *unleashes heat beams at you* -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:55
    - If I can get past them ignoring the source material, sure. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:53
- My childhood... is very happy! -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:47 6
  - Ed loved it. -- (link) - Remlik Dec 10, 12:49 5
    - Yeah, I saw he gave it a 7.5. If he were here I would compare him to Dawson's B+ on SM! -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:51 4
      - [deleted] 2
        
        TMI! -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:57
        
        Feeling generous? -- nm - David Dec 10, 12:56
      - 7.5 on the 10 scale = 4 on the 5 scale. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:51

Yankees President Randy Levine is among the names being mentioned for White House Chief of Staff, per @MSNBC. Please hire him. Pretty please. - Krusty Dec 10, 12:39 11
- My money's on Belicheck. -- nm - Roger More Dec 10, 12:53 1
  - Press Secretary. "Bill, what comments do you have about Trump calling North Korea a 'glowing cesspool' after..." "2020." "But..." "2020." -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 12:55
- Literally no one wants the job. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 12:50 1
  - Yup. And why would they. This results in nothing but a black mark on your resume and possibly lots of extra needed cash to hire a lawyer. -- nm - Jovian Dec 10, 12:52
- My mistake, it was Lonn Trust that said field level seats weren't for everyone. -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 12:43
- Like we would be so lucky. He already said this is false and is very happy with destroying the Yankees, I mean running the Yankees. -- nm - Jovian Dec 10, 12:42 5
  - Sounds like they're trying the "if we say they've taken it, they won't embarrass us by denying it" routine. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 12:53
  - And if I had to bet, he is probably pissed now that he has been revealed as a Trumper. -- nm* - Jovian Dec 10, 12:43 3
    - He worked for McCain's campaign so it's only a little surprising he backs Trump. You'd think he'd have an issue with it after what Trump said - Krusty Dec 10, 12:45 2
      - its all about the money for people like Randy Levine. -- nm - Jovian Dec 10, 12:45 1
        
        Yup. I'm tired of him and Trust saying terrible things that make the organization look bad. -- nm* - Krusty Dec 10, 12:52
attn Wes Anderson fans: "A 32-Day, Behind-the-Scenes Timelapse of the Sushi Scene from Isle of Dogs" -- (link) - prayformojo Dec 10, 12:37

huh. I missed the news that Google+ is going away -- nm - prayformojo Dec 10, 12:30 2

- "Well have I got news for you!" -- nm - Today Dec 10, 12:31
I'm gonna put this out there. Thanos's motivations in the movie are stupid. Spoilers - Mop Dec 10, 12:23 31
- But (spoils) - Mayor of Slamtown Dec 10, 12:46 2
  - Mop's comment is more "how do these stones keep ending up on Earth?" -- nm* - Roger More Dec 10, 12:58

- Aren't there more powerful entities in the MCU? - Amoxy Dec 10, 12:42 14
  - like Galactus? -- nm - groiny Dec 10, 12:53
  - Spoiler - Mop Dec 10, 12:46
  - not many in the least. (spoils) - Jovian Dec 10, 12:45
  - What, like the Celestials? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:44
  - Not when he has the Infinity Gauntlet...then all fall to his power. But most of those upper level entities are to busy with their own stuff. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:44 1
    - What about Thor with Stormbreaker? -- nm - Krusty Dec 10, 12:51
  - He is as strong as the Hulk, so no. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:43 7
    - Stronger than Hulk. And I mean an entity that can send him to a parallel universe prison? -- nm - Amoxy Dec 10, 12:45 3
      - Those that are, are above caring. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:45 2
        
        they got their own thing going on. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:50 1
        
        Let the ants squabble. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:51
    - he's talking the Cosmic Guys, like Galactus level and some of the Elders. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:44 2
      - "Yo, Dormammu, sup? I've come to offer an additional bargain. Steep discount." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:45 1
        
        (to which the reply would be undoubtedly "Not. Interested.") -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:47
- meh. Earth is all. Deal with it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:28 10
  - Earth was last on his list. Does that make it a Nexus? Or the opposite ... some kind of Annexus? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:30 9
    - Kinda - it was the place he delegated his henchpeople to go to. - Roger More Dec 10, 12:34 4
      - well ... - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:41 3
        
        If his people had done their jobs, Thanos would never have had to step foot on Earth! - Roger More Dec 10, 12:52 2
        
        I don't think he knew the connection at the time. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:54
        
        Humans are very fighty. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:54
    - Funny, but he knew he was in for a battle at the end and spoils - Spawn Dec 10, 12:32 1
      - Well actually ... - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:34
    - yes. the Marvel Earth is a Nexus point for all the Multi verse. And is a constant source of irritation for the Cosmic Races that have to deal them -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 12:32 1
      - I guess I should have tried harder to turn this into a Ragnarok joke. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:33
- ... - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:24 1
  - LOL. True. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 12:32
I know replying would probably get my phone number put on some porn marketing spambot list, but I really want to text back -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Dec 10, 12:20
The gentleman we interviewed today for a programming job looked remarkably like Jason Statham. Are we sure it wasn't him? -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 10, 12:16 4
- that would instantly be the most bitchin' programmer ever, by several touchdowns -- nm - prayformojo Dec 10, 12:17 3
  - Just imagine the office knife fights! -- nm - Roger More Dec 10, 12:22 2
    - "Once again, Mr Statham, we allow NERF fights. Not KNIFE fights." -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:25
    - Stapler Fu. -- nm - Baron Gifts Dec 10, 12:25
I hope she skips -- (link) - mud Dec 10, 12:09 6

  - The airport's in Richmond! Don't fall for it! -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 12:18 1
    - She can afford to charter a jet,evade the usual airport security -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 10, 13:32
  - maybe the otter can guide her out! -- nm - mud Dec 10, 12:14
- Or at least shaves her legs. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:10 1
  - :-P -- nm - mud Dec 10, 12:16

  - With only $3 on it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:33

  - I like this. Except - you get actual gift cards for people you like - and give her the $5 *free* cards you get for spending a certain amount. -- nm - Mayor of Slamtown Dec 10, 12:21

Vancouver Comicshop...The Comicshop to close after 44 years -- (link) - Remlik Dec 10, 11:41 10
- they're who I pawned my Heavy Metal magazines to 30 yrs ago .. :-( -- nm - mud Dec 10, 11:57
- What a stupid reason for shutting down. For two reasons... - Mop Dec 10, 11:52 8
  - a huge problem is people not coming in picking up their subscriptions, lots of shops allow people to keep 4 months worth of stuff on hold... - Remlik Dec 10, 12:01 5
    - Yeah, I acknowledge that. I was probably guilty of that back in the day, but I always paid for myself in a (somewhat) timely fashion. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 12:07 4
      - Many stores have adapted to keeping CC#s on file and charging their holds periodically. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:08 3
        
        This is, frankly, the right way. Stores shouldn't take on the burden for customers. - Mop Dec 10, 12:48
        
        Stores are trying that for sure, but the customer pushback on that is interesting...they won't share the # with the local store.. - Remlik Dec 10, 12:27 1
        
        My old store bills weekly for a 4th of the customers. Last names A-F on the first week, G-M on the second week, etc. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 12:31
  - 2. Sadly, many stores very much are. -- nm - Spawn Dec 10, 11:54 1

Dammit Richard, what did Pied Piper do now? - Reagen Dec 10, 11:33

creator of the original Doom videogame in 1993 releasing new levels to the original game... -- (link) - Remlik Dec 10, 11:21 7
- "Creator of Doom videogame" is like saying "Star of Forest Gump". John Romero's got a bit of name recognition. IGN is allowed to drop his name. -- nm - Mop Dec 10, 11:22 6
  - Never heard of the guy. -- nm - Remlik Dec 10, 11:26 5
    - Oh man, John Romero is totally going to make you his bitch. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:08 2

      - (this is a reference to the ad campaign for Daikatana) -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:09
    - Wow. -- nm - David Dec 10, 11:56

When does Eleven kick Godzilla's ass? -- nm - Beaker Dec 10, 11:18 5
