I’ll wait until I see the actual bracket but I’m gonna have to pick Duke in the pool, aren’t I? -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 12:52 5
- If you want to win, yes. Dude just shot 26/32 from the floor in the ACC tournament. - David Mar 17, 12:56 3
  - This doesn’t feel like one of the overrated Duke teams that loses in the Sweet Sixteen. -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 12:57 2
    - I hate Duke, and like Notre Dame in football they are usually over-ranked in the standings. This team is legit #1 overall baring a major injury. -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 13:06
    - Coach K's about to win #6. -- nm - David Mar 17, 12:58
- Unless Nike strikes again. -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 12:54
Big Ball Chunky Time! -- (link) - Reagen Mar 17, 12:48
I'm guessing this Apollos coach (AAF Football team) has seen Captain Marvel WAY too many times--Minor spoilers -- (link) - Flavorize Mar 17, 12:48
That clinches 3 ACC #1 seeds -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 12:46
I think my favorite part of Spiderverse is spoils - Will Hunting Mar 17, 12:41
Woooo, Billikens! Once again, everyone will get to wonder why they spell out the Saint in Saint Louis when referring to the university! -- nm - Baronan the Accuser Mar 17, 12:39 2
- I always thought what people wondered about was what the hell is a Billiken? -- nm - Dano Mar 17, 12:48 1
  - Originally know as the WilliamKenneths. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 12:48
Sitting in the laundromat, watching my clothes in the washer and watching "Revenge of the Sith" on TV. - Amoxy Mar 17, 12:12 4

- Fucking Safeway! -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 12:13
- To your IM--NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! -- nm - Flavorize Mar 17, 12:13 1
  - Seriously, the Apple fritter I got just pales in comparison -- nm - Amoxy Mar 17, 12:16
This is a dude on an Overwatch League team. Estimate his age from this picture -- (link) - Reagen Mar 17, 12:05 [Image] 4
- He looks like a 27-year-old whose face has been photoshopped as an 8-year-old. -- nm - David Mar 17, 12:06 3
  - Right? he's 23, but I've taught middle schoolers that look older than him. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 12:08 2
    - You could have told me any number from 13 to 30, and I would have believed you. That is a strange head. -- nm - David Mar 17, 12:10 1
      - When you never see sunlight, your skin never gets damaged, he's probably just played videogames his whole life...but, that's how you get to be a pro -- nm* - Flavorize Mar 17, 12:40
This must be how Jennifer Lopez felt when Ben Affleck won Best Picture for Argo. - David Mar 17, 12:03

So while I briefly flirted with it years ago, yesterday I gave up my OG Pixel for the iPhoneXR. - Qale Mar 17, 11:55 9
- NOOOOOOOOOOOOO Team Android lost another one to the dark side. -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 11:58
- Facial recognition unlocking is so, so great. I can't go back. - David Mar 17, 11:57 7
  - Yeah, I literally never put a passcode on my previous iphones but set up FaceID and was hooked instantly. -- nm - Tim Mar 17, 12:02
  - It’s really striking how well it works too. I deliberately looked away and it was like, nope. -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 11:59 5
    - It won't recognize me with my glasses off. -- nm - Tim Mar 17, 12:05 3
      - Do you have bottlecap glasses? -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 12:52
      - It doesn't recognize me with sunglasses on! -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 17, 12:07
      - That's what they get for having Lois Lane as lead designer. -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 12:07
    - I love my X. I'm sure I'll love whatever next gen we get even more. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 17, 12:03
UT clearly got way, way, waaaaaay too drunk last night. -- nm - David Mar 17, 11:45
It turns out cystic fibrosis patients actually need to be *six* feet apart, so this movie is garbage. -- nm - Tim Mar 17, 11:24 11
- Who are you badmouthing this movie? Mr. Moseby? -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 11:50
- This is the weirdest fuckin' complaint. They mention the real rule multiple times in the trailer and explain the metaphor at the end -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 11:26 8
  - I didn't see the trailer (this was gleaned from the Wikipedia page) so I assumed it was just because the alliteration makes for a better title. -- nm - Tim Mar 17, 11:27 7
    - They're breaking the rules for love's sake by only being 5 feet apart. -- nm - Ender Mar 17, 11:29 5
      - Too late - every CF patient in the US is now cross-infected! -- nm - Reagen Mar 17, 11:32 4

        Five Feet Swipe Left -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 11:56
    - It's that she wants to get just one foot closer because it's more like being alive and free spirited why are you holding her back! -- nm* - Reagen Mar 17, 11:29
- oh damn -- nm - prayformojo Mar 17, 11:25
This amuses me. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 17, 11:04
Who is seeded higher? Washington who Oregon beat twice in the last week and a half? Or Oregon who has a lower ranking and worse overall record? -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 11:01 9
- Oregon had a better BPI and actually beat a top 25 team...something Washington failed to do in multiple tries -- nm - Flavorize Mar 17, 11:43
- Oregon was in the NIT if they'd lost...and not as a one seed. -- nm - David Mar 17, 11:05 3
  - a big conference school getting an auto bid as an 11 seed is code for "you don't belong here." -- nm - Tim Mar 17, 11:37 2
    - Absolutely! But the beauty of NCAA basketball is everyone can get hot and play their way in. I love it! - Bacon Mar 17, 11:52 1
      - I agree that a hot automatic team is better than a lukewarm bubble team. Giants did it in football got hot, barely made playoffs, beat 18-0 Pats -- nm - Flavorize Mar 17, 11:57
- Lunardi has Washington as an 8 and Oregon as an 11. -- nm - Tim Mar 17, 11:03 3
  - Ouch 11. I am hoping for an 8 or 9 at worse. I mean 11 is what we deserve. -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 11:04 2
    - Does Lunardi have Arizona St. making it in? -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 11:05 1
      - Last four in, meaning they get the play-in game for an 11 seed. -- (link) - Tim Mar 17, 11:08
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 17, 11:00
"You can't write a script in your mind and then force yourself to follow it. You have to let yourself be." -- nm - David Mar 17, 10:39 1

        I would see Black Panther again in theatres in a heartbeat as it’s my #1 of the series. -- nm - Qale Mar 17, 11:57
This is pretty impressive, but I think I spotted some traveling. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 17, 10:11 4
- Pretty good. Doesn't end with the Harlem Shake, but pretty good. -- nm - Max Mar 17, 10:14

The first episode of Beckinsale's series Widow on Amazon is pretty good. I like her a lot more than I used to -- nm - prayformojo Mar 17, 09:38 3

- you have just described why I am not out buying a bunch of movies on vudu. - Bacon Mar 17, 09:08 20
  - Physical copies aren't forever either. Discs degrade at a shocking rate. -- nm* - Reagen Mar 17, 10:00 4
    - I have learned over the years, records, 8track, cassette, cdrom, mp3, that nothing you own will stay relevant in media. I have bought some of my - Bacon Mar 17, 10:04 3
      - 8k is beyond the comprehension level of the human eye on living room TV scales - Reagen Mar 17, 10:10 2
        
        How much television and cable is currently being broadcast in 4k. Estimated? -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 10:16 1

        If you are saying, the ability to buy an share a movie ends in June yes. I am saying the movies we already own and share will be gone in 5 years or - Bacon Mar 17, 09:19 10
        
        You're not losing films. You're just not sharing them any longer. -- nm - David Mar 17, 09:45 7
        
        Yes I am sure that will be the language they use when they do it. I agree -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 09:46 6
        
        You're being weird. Don't be weird. -- nm - David Mar 17, 09:49 5
        
        "Hey, sun, don't be hot." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 17, 09:58 4
        
        It took me 49 years to get this way, how can I not be me?? ;) -- nm - Bacon Mar 17, 10:00 3

        Are you? Maybe you should watch this shocking YouTube video... -- nm - David Mar 17, 12:04
        
        I completely agree! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 17, 10:12
        
        That's based on speculation and fear. Vudu and FandangoNow don't know what titles are "shared". - Mop Mar 17, 09:33 1
        
        But does Vudu know which of your movies were shared by a friend in UV? Unlikely. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! - Bacon Mar 17, 09:40
