    - Uh-huh. I'm torn between wanting tickets, wondering why they couldn't find Chicagoans to play the cops, - the liioulu with lilac May 29, 15:48

  - It would actually be pretty much a night of comedy -- nm - con_carne May 29, 15:40 2
    - i don't get the impression *he's* overly religious, just proving a point to those that claim 'it's in the bible.' -- nm - Andie May 29, 15:42 1
      - Didn't sound like it when I heard his interview on NPR. Which it looks like that is still online. A good listen. -- (link) - con_carne May 29, 15:45
- Interesting fellow with lots of great stories, but no -- nm - con_carne May 29, 15:37

  - That's too bad. - Stephen May 29, 15:38 3
    - He's actually a very good trained actor who happens to be in a lot of crap movies with his family. -- nm - Diva May 29, 15:42 1
      - If this turns out to be something other than all the other craptastic comedies i've ever seen him in then I will stand corrected... - Stephen May 29, 15:43

  - I've not read the book, but my understanding is that he was living as any average human did in that era - not trying to live like Jesus, persay -- nm - Guy May 29, 15:37 1
    - First of all, it's "per se". Secondly, it was a friggin joke. -- nm - It's Dr.Vermin May 29, 15:40
- is his name "Mel Gibson"? -- nm - dug May 29, 15:35
- $26/person hardly seems like the price a humble man would charge. -- nm - TWuG May 29, 15:35 3
  - "Year's up!" -- nm - nubby May 29, 15:36
  - it -- nm - Andie May 29, 15:35 1

- Nope. I might pay $26 to throw something at Hitchens, though. -- nm - JaxSean May 29, 15:34 2
  - I'd pay to watch you do that. -- nm - Diva May 29, 15:43
  - Hitchens is a vile individual. -- nm - TWuG May 29, 15:38

- Haven't seen either. -- nm - Stephen May 29, 15:39
- Enjoyed them both immensely but preferred TWBB between the two. -- nm - Diva May 29, 15:33
- NCFOM was a better picture. DDLewis was a better performane. -- nm - JaxSean May 29, 15:33 1
  - agreed -- nm - Beaker May 29, 15:38
- No Country, no question. -- nm - It's Dr.Vermin May 29, 15:33

Checkout stand thoughts: Robert Pattinson could play almost Beast in Beauty and the Beast, sans makeup - Reagen May 29, 15:22 7
- I don't see his "handsomeness." At all. - JaxSean May 29, 15:28 4
  - I thought they made a pretty realistic and striking pair. -- nm - Qale May 29, 15:31
  - i don't actually love either of them. -- nm - Andie May 29, 15:30 2
    - I could possibly be sold on another actress for her part, yes. - JaxSean May 29, 15:35 1
      - It's good that they kept her ordinary. Just like Bella. -- nm - Diva May 29, 15:46

I am suprised that there is only 5 showings of UP in 3d here on Sunday - tRuMaN May 29, 15:22 18
- To me it sounds as if your local place has two digital screens capable of playing 3D and that one of those screens is tied up with a digital (non 3D) - JD May 29, 15:42 1
  - yeah. the imax screen has Night at the Museum 2 on it. the other 3d screen must have something else on it that came out recently -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 15:43
- Does is need special equipment? -- nm - the liioulu with lilac May 29, 15:26 13
  - You get glasses with Disney Digital 3D - con_carne May 29, 15:28 12
    - That might be why. They're different from the usual right? - the liioulu with lilac May 29, 15:29 10
      - Yes, they are. You are supposed to return them at the end of the movie. *glares at Tru* -- nm - con_carne May 29, 15:31 8
        
        Hmm, that's a little gross. -- nm - the liioulu with lilac May 29, 15:32 4
        
        Come to think of it, I did keep a few so don't quote me on that -- nm - con_carne May 29, 15:33
        
        they send them to a company, they are steralized, repackaged, and handed out. - tRuMaN May 29, 15:33 2
        
        Okay, but that does explain the fewer showings, takes money to do that. -- nm - the liioulu with lilac May 29, 15:39 1
        
        the true-3d projector also costs a lot more -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 15:42
        
        I returned the set from coraline. -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 15:32 2
        
        *turns you around, pats you down* AHA!! -- nm - con_carne May 29, 15:32 1
        
        I so want to do an si joke against myself all of the sudden. - tRuMaN May 29, 15:43

- Anyone else keep thinking of the Right Said Fred album? - con_carne May 29, 15:24 1
  - it has crossed my mind, but then my mind thought "that sounds like something pixie would remark on -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 15:24
Up report: ho hum, just another A for pixar - dug May 29, 15:19 3
- "ho hum" as in boring? -- nm - JaxSean May 29, 15:27 1
  - oh hell no, lots of action and adventure. just that it gets old giving each of them an A everytime they come out -- nm - dug May 29, 15:35
- box office wise, the 12:45 matinee at El Capitan was 90% full, although that's kind of skewed given it's Disney's showcase theater in Hollywood -- nm - dug May 29, 15:20
LYC: Where's Dr. House? Apparently two of the people who went to Rwanda are also really sick. - loosiflu May 29, 15:18 9

  - well, it's not a hotbed for flu. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 15:35 3
    - Says the chick in quarantine. -- nm - It's Dr.Vermin May 29, 15:38 2
      - I don't think I could have gotten it there. too long. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 15:39 1
        
        That's what she said. -- nm - It's Dr.Vermin May 29, 15:41

*taps foot awaiting reports from "Up"* - JaxSean May 29, 15:08 8
- I ended up short with a prediction of 56.66. Reagen's article makes me nervous though. -- nm - Qale May 29, 15:11 5
  - 3D takes in more revenue than normal, right? As does IMAX. - JaxSean May 29, 15:18 4
    - It does, but I've been thinking Up will trend younger than usual with perhaps many of the adults missing this one (at first). -- nm - Qale May 29, 15:21 3
      - That's why 21+ screenings of Up are much arppecated. So the kid adverse Pixar fans don't have to wait for the crowds to die down -- nm - JD May 29, 15:26 2
        
        I do think it's great that this is the first time I've heard on radio/TV newscasts calling this "the latest from Pixar" Getting that name out there - Qale May 29, 15:32
        
        yup -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 15:27
- I'm going to see it sunday. is that enough report for you? -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 15:10 1
  - No, we'll have seen it by then. Dano was seeing it today - I'm surprised no one else has. -- nm - JaxSean May 29, 15:12

And Rachel Alexandra will NOT run the Belmont next week, so Calvin Borel can return to Mine That Bird for his own shot at the 'Triple Crown'. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 14:56 5
- that would be such an odd accomplishment -- nm - prayformojo May 29, 14:56 4
  - and it's good that they're not pushing the horse -- nm - prayformojo May 29, 14:57 3
    - Made their point, made their money, now to make the babies. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 14:58 2
      - Mine That Bird has been gelded, therefore he can't sire any foals. -- nm - TWuG May 29, 15:32 1
        
        I mean Rachel. -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 15:45
The reason Clinton gothit with the lardass tag was that his first released physical as president had a super high cholesterol number - Reagen May 29, 14:55 10

  - Reagan was fit, too, right? and Carter too, right? -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 14:57 2
    - I don't think either of them were joggers, whereas Poppy conducted press conferences while jogging. -- nm - loosiflu May 29, 14:58 1
      - apparently Carter was a jogger too. -- (link) - loosiflu May 29, 15:03

Sorry, pansy. Halo doesn't have a paint brush weapon. -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 14:51 1

  - nope. still at work. -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 14:59
  - truman suggested it, but I think I've been using it the longest. - Beryllium May 29, 14:53 13
    - Hmmm. I will try this layout tonight. - It's Dr.Vermin May 29, 15:04 1
      - basically it swaps the melee and zoom buttoms. -- nm - tRuMaN May 29, 15:06
    - yeah, and I suggested it cause its a lot easier to get used to it right away, then trying to relearn. which is what bery, crash, and I did. - tRuMaN May 29, 14:59 10
      - and this is a bit more of a basic suggestion, but I almost invariably find it easier to control the character when I invert the Y axis ... - Beryllium May 29, 15:02 9
        
        I think at this point any control change scheme would be like my Great Dvorak Experiment. -- nm - Reagen May 29, 15:08
        
        Yeah, I have to play all games like that. I think of it as head tilt. Pulling back raises your field of vision. -- nm - It's Dr.Vermin May 29, 15:06 1
        
        exactly -- nm - Beryllium May 29, 15:08
        
        oh dear god, I hate it when games are setup that way. - tRuMaN May 29, 15:03 5
        
        Yeah, I was glad it wasn't set up that way. Up is Up to me. -- nm - JaxSean May 29, 15:07 1
