SITWAP: I AM MOTHER trailer. -- (link) - Shaun May 10, 10:57 [youtube]
I love the recent Aladdin ads. - David May 10, 10:35 4
- I agree...the trailer we saw before Endgame was fantastic. nm - John Murphy May 10, 10:58
- I think it's going to shock and surprise a lot of people next weekend. I have no doubts that it's going to be fantastic. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 10:46 1
  - It's Guy Ritchie. Yes, he has some good movies under his belt, but his record is spotty as hell. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 10:51
- The last one I saw was actually not totally awful. -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd May 10, 10:40
Grey's Anatomy picked up for 2 seasons, Station 19 and HTGAWM renewed -- nm - MDH May 10, 10:29 9
- You could've told me Grey's was canceled in 2009 and I would believe it. I don't know a soul that watches it and I'm with high school kids every day. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:47 4
  - It's been on the "That's still on?" train for a decade now. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 11:02
  - it is for the mom's of those high school kids... -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:48
  - High school kids don't watch TV much less Gray's Anatomy. It's audience is middle aged women. -- nm - MDH May 10, 10:48 1
    - I'm around one of them and she never mention's it. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:49
- How was this season of HTGAWM? I haven't started it yet, not sure if I'm giving up on it. - sycor May 10, 10:31 3
  - Shockingly good. I'm generally down on the show, but they did better this year. -- nm - David May 10, 10:31 2
    - That's good to hear. I'll give it a shot. (spoils) - sycor May 10, 10:45 1
      - Rebecca Sutter was my favorite character, and she didn't make it out of season one. -- nm - David May 10, 10:51
What is Kevin Costner's signature role? - amoxy May 10, 10:28 41
- do Hanks on the next board, he should get a lot of different ones too given his career -- nm - Beaker May 10, 11:02
- I thought for sure it would be a slam dunk for Crash Davis. But now I am rethinking maybe it is Roy in Tin Cup -- nm - amoxy May 10, 10:58
- Waterworld. -- nm - mud May 10, 10:57
- This is his most iconic scene, regardless of movie. -- (link) - MDH May 10, 10:47 [youtube] 11
  - It's okay to admit that Madonna sucks, and it's a waste of time to give her any of your attention. - David May 10, 10:56
  - are you gay or something? -- nm - groiny May 10, 10:54
  - Wrong. Raise your hand if you remember that he was in ToD. - Shaun May 10, 10:48 2
    - I sure do, I was so disappointed in her at that moment (still kinda like her tho -- nm - mud May 10, 10:56
    - I mean you know I'm joking. But this is peak era Costner, and Madonna. And that goodbye kiss thing is hysterical. -- nm - MDH May 10, 10:49
  - wait, that isn't him telling his son to let all his school friends die... -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:48 4
    - serious answer: I love this scene from Open Range -- (link) - Beaker May 10, 10:50 [youtube] 3
      - That is a fine fine movie as a whole. (NM) - Marlowe May 10, 10:59 2
        
        the only downside is - spoilers - Beaker May 10, 11:01
        
        yep -- nm - mud May 10, 11:00
  - That's not "Hey dad, wanna have a catch?" -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 10:47
- his most underrated role is A Perfect World. Such a great movie. -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:37 9
  - For Love of the Game. Or Tin Cup if that's still underrated. -- nm - David May 10, 10:38 6
    - Actually, change my answer -- Tin Cup. It's perfect Costner. Flawed charming everyman. -- nm - Will Hunting May 10, 10:39 5
      - Over the years, it's become my favorite role of his. -- nm - David May 10, 10:42 3
        
        His press conference at the US Open where he says, "Look at me. I'm the low percentage shot[to be here]," is just so very perfect for the actor. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 10:50 1
        
        Completely agreed. -- nm - David May 10, 10:59
        
        Relatedly given his sports stuff, I don't care that much about FLOTG -- but I think that was because it was so...predictable. - Will Hunting May 10, 10:46
      - yeah, it is Crash Davis and Roy McEvoy for me. -- nm - groiny May 10, 10:40
  - or maybe Open Range one of my all-time favorite westerns...Jesus, he has a lot of great movies under his belt -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:38 1
    - Seriously. Maybe not all great films, but identifiable stand out roles. Waterworld, Tin Cup, Bodyguard, Wolves and of course.... - Volnelk May 10, 10:41
- Am I the only one who thought Untouchables? -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:35 3
  - No, but I think his early work is tough to choose between. No Way Out is in there, too. - David May 10, 10:36
  - He was good, but that was Sean Connery's movie -- nm - amoxy May 10, 10:36 1
    - True, but when I hear Elliot Ness, I picture Costner. - Volnelk May 10, 10:37
- I think he's most identified with Crash Davis, but he's best remembered for Field of Dreams. - David May 10, 10:34
- I would go with Bull Durham, Robin Hood or Field of Dreams. I can't pick. -- nm - sycor May 10, 10:33
- Crash Davis slightly over Ray Kinsella. - Will Hunting May 10, 10:33 1
  - This is my exact answer. The natural sex appeal of Crash Davis is what ups it to a better defining Costner role. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 10:45
- Dances with Wolves (love the opening scene) -- (link) - Beaker May 10, 10:32 [youtube]
- I went Field of Dreams -> Bodyguard -> Dances -- nm - MDH May 10, 10:31
- Field of Dreams -- nm - SyrDragonite May 10, 10:31 1
  - this -- nm - Snorjax May 10, 10:35
- I'm with your IM: Crash Davis -- nm - JD May 10, 10:31
- Dances or Robin Hood. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 10:29 2
  - Same here. Maybe The Untouchables in the same group. (NM) - Marlowe May 10, 10:56
  - Those are definitely the ones that come to mind first -- nm - SyrDragonite May 10, 10:30
Weekend plans? -- nm - Andie May 10, 10:12 15
- Saw Gretta Van Fleet last night, 9-to-5 play in GA tonight, friend's house-warming party Saturday, chill Sunday. -- nm - Snorjax May 10, 10:41 1
  - What's the GVF show like? It's one of the few new bands I've decided I would really like to see. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 10, 10:52
- Bike rides and lawn mowing. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 10, 10:41

  - L7? that is 2 times funnier then L5. -- nm - amoxy May 10, 10:36
- Watching soccer (Championship promotion playoffs Sat, Premier Sunday) and then cooking dinner for Mother's Day. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:27
- my partner is out of town, so i guess a lot of sad sleeping. - colin May 10, 10:22
- finally have a night with no plans tonight. A meeting tomorrow from 9-12, then the rest of the weekend cleaning up my house and relaxing. - Andie May 10, 10:17

  - which is vastly superior to boat under water -- nm - decline May 10, 10:14
Party City is closing 45 stores because it can't find helium to fill it's balloons -- (link) - decline May 10, 10:10 4
- time to send deep space miners out to start collecting it. I needs ma balloons -- nm - Beaker May 10, 10:14 1
  - "My balloons...Those are my balloons." -- nm - Shaun May 10, 10:15
- i am okay with helium balloons going away, i mean, they're great, but, yeah, stuff has to change. -- nm - Andie May 10, 10:11 1
  - The problem is that we had tons! And then the US just stopped collecting it. - Reagen May 10, 11:32
"Peyton Manning is opening a Western-themed restaurant in Knoxville" - David May 10, 10:03 12
- Is Longbranch Saloon still on the Strip? I used to love that place, so I'm sure it's been destroyed and replaced with a 2 story Starbucks. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:23 2
  - Closed and the real estate is currently for sale. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 10, 10:28 1
    - I bet there isn't a single place left from when I was there. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:36
- Will he personally put his balls in every drink served there, or is that only if you order the UT Special? -- nm - colin May 10, 10:23
- 'High end saloon' sounds about right to me. -- nm - Cy Tolliver si May 10, 10:12
- "I'll have the chicken... *looks around room* Omaha! Omaha! The fish!" -- nm - Reagen May 10, 10:08 3
  - holy crap this made me laugh -- nm - Snorjax May 10, 10:48
  - This is a well-crafted post. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:45
  - Booooooooooooooooo. -- nm - Shaun May 10, 10:10

- Think he'll hang out there? You could become best buds! -- nm - decline May 10, 10:04 1
  - unless we talked politics... -- nm - David May 10, 10:08
bery, I found that Barq's but only in 4-pack. [angry homer voce] so it better be good .. -- nm - mud May 10, 10:03 1
- It was exactly what I wanted it to be. Hit the spot. But that's just my opinion, so ... we'll see. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 11:50

    - very cool cliffhanger - mud May 10, 10:01 7
      - Spoil for David - Spawn May 10, 10:23 6
        
        I guess what I'm asking is if I start watching now, will I be pissed at the end? -- nm - David May 10, 10:31 5
        
        not totally - slight plot methodology spoiler - decline May 10, 11:14

Lime coke is not as good as I had hoped, but it's alright. -- nm - Beryllium May 10, 08:41 11
- seems like coke doesn't need anything else. - colin May 10, 09:16 9
  - Citrus is already part of the flavour profile so it's probably just to whatever a person's taste is - Reagen May 10, 09:22 8

        My thought on these flavors is that Coke is using data from the Freestyle machines to see what people pick. I feel they have been mislead. -- nm - Volnelk May 10, 10:01 1
