  - Finished the first two seasons on Netflix streaming. Now what am I supposed to do?! -- nm - psilotum Jun 2, 13:13
- You know, I watched part of that last night and I think they *are* the biggest stars. - David Jun 2, 13:09 6
  - i had no idea who they and the two comediennes were. I love how he had no idea who patti's husband is. self-centred much? -- nm - zork Jun 2, 13:30
  - That may be, but they still belong on the B Shuttle headed for the sun. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 13:13 1

I knew that someone would point out wil smith movies that didn't make 100M+ but he and Cruise are about as close to sure money in the bank as it gets - zork Jun 2, 13:01 11
- Don't get me wrong guys...I like Will Smith, he's one of my top 5 actors, I just can't see how they'd be using him in this movie. - Stephen Jun 2, 13:23 1
  - the original sgt. fury was white. why couldn't they change rogers too? -- nm - zork Jun 2, 13:41
- not Cruise anymore, but on Smith I agree -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 13:03 7
  - It's weird, I always thought Will Smith was on his way out since he's getting older and not as hip -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:07 6
    - Picks the right mega-projects and his lower-key Pursuit of Happyness was huge considering - Will Hunting Jun 2, 13:11 2
      - Yeah, when was the last misstep he made? Has he ever made one? -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 13:28 1
        
        7 pounds was a bit of a bust wasn't it? -- nm - Stephen Jun 2, 13:29
    - Not as hip also means he is more mainstream now. He is just a likable guy who plays likable characters and makes the masses feel happy. -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 13:11
    - kids don't have money to spend on movies like working adults do.. he's popular with the olderish crowd now. -- nm - colin Jun 2, 13:09 1
      - unless it's on Twilight - then they got megabucks -- nm - Epiphany Jun 2, 13:11
- C'mon, not counting Jersey Girl where it seems he had a cameo...he only had 8 in a row north of 135mil. - Will Hunting Jun 2, 13:03
Thank Goodness it's not the rumored remake... - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:01
will somebody please get Beltran some friggin' Pepto?! -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 2, 13:00 2
- i keep thinking Beldar when I see that name - zork Jun 2, 13:05
- *backpacks thru Mexico* -- nm - Carlos Beltran si Jun 2, 13:02
ST has been very good lately. I am going to reward you tonight with a picture of the now famous - Redmond in Sin City Jun 2, 13:00
Re-post: From now on, I suggest that all the OPS line of demarcation of .650 be declared the Frenchy Riviera. -- nm - David Jun 2, 12:59 1
- *yearns* -- nm - David Ortiz Jun 2, 13:01
hotkiss - never been to Peru. there's great stuff everywhere though. you should look into a GAP adventure tour. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 12:58 3
- oooh...Macchu Pichu (sp.).. -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 13:03
- how about Old Navy? less expensive, no? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 2, 13:00 1
  - *hee* -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 13:01
There's also the issue that I've never really traveled in my life. NYC is as big a change as I've ever made. Am I jumping ahead of myself? - Hotkiss Jun 2, 12:58 47
- if you travel alone, maybe it'd be good at least to choose a place where you understand the main language -- nm - marcel Jun 2, 13:04 26
  - I could probably rough my way around with Spanish, more or less... -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:06 23
    - *swoon* - con_carne Jun 2, 13:16
    - not be all 'been there done that', but i've done a lot of this. - Andie Jun 2, 13:12 20
      - also, some places in Europe are cheaper than others. Spain and Portugal are not too expensive. I expect countries like Hungary, Czech etc - Roger More Jun 2, 13:16 19
        
        I was hoping to fit in a trip around $700 total including spending. That's why the Latin American countries came to mind -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:18 15
        
        for two weeks? including airfare? that's really really really optimistic anywhere. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 13:18 14
        
        JFK to Mexico and Peru are only $300-450 RT. I plan to stay in really cheap hostels or couchsurf, eat cheap. Still unrealistic? -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:21 13
        
        let's do the math, that leaves you $350 for two weeks, or $25 a day. There is eating cheap, and then there is eating cheap. - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 13:30
        
        You're looking at $15 a day for a hostel dorm in Mexico ($25 for a room). It doesn't leave much margin for error -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 13:28
        
        Pretty bloody tough to go anywhere for that little. - Subversive Jun 2, 13:27 9
        
        Excluding rent, I spend less than $500 every two weeks in NYC (food, entertainment, going out, shopping). I imagine a LA country would be a cinch. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:32 7
        
        but, you won't be able to *do* anything. and, you won't have a kitchen (well, some hostels do), so you need to buy food somewhere - Andie Jun 2, 13:35
        
        except, you're trying to include your lodging. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 13:34 5
        
        If couchsurfing works out (I haven't done the search yet), it would be $0. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:35 4
        
        The people who are most enthusiastic about you travelling and experiencing the world are the same ones cautioning you not to do it on this small - Roger More Jun 2, 13:38 2
        
        add me to both. especially if alone, you need a better measure of protection and cushion. -- nm - b! Jun 2, 13:42
        
        so true. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 13:39
        
        you're going to couch surf in central america? on your own? with no travel experience? - Andie Jun 2, 13:36
        
        exactly, you still have to pay for taxis, tickets, the occasional beer, and incidentals. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 13:31
        
        yes, very much. -- nm - loosiflu with cabin fever Jun 2, 13:26
        
        portugal was really cheap i remember comparatively , but that was 1999... so... Czech still is i think... -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 13:17 2
        
        Is Czech on the Euro yet? That pretty much ruins any budget travelling if they are. -- nm - Subversive Jun 2, 13:28 1
        
        No. Slovakia is though, and it's still a budget destination -- nm - Roger More Jun 2, 13:31
    - IMO it's not so much about the talking (lots of people in Europe speak english) - marcel Jun 2, 13:11
  - i was about to say this too -- nm - zork Jun 2, 13:06 1
    - Yeah, though I went to Europe myself, very little English in about 50% of the countries I visited. - Subversive Jun 2, 13:07
- I think you should watch Taken. -- nm - Loyola Jun 2, 13:04 5
  - what i found disturbing about that movie was - prayformojo Jun 2, 13:07 3
    - hee - i just saw this sunday and i mentioned them while it was on. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 13:16
    - I went to HS with a guy who had those. -- nm - Reagen Jun 2, 13:09
    - I never notice stuff like that. -- nm - Loyola Jun 2, 13:08
  - That was my first thought when I saw Mexico and Alone -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 2, 13:06
- I would start of with something easier. Have you seen pictures of Western Canada in August?? -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 2, 13:03 1
  - It's Bee-ouuu-tiful here. -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Jun 2, 13:16
- You'll never be 100 per cent safe anywhere, but you can minimise the risks just by being sensible. - Roger More Jun 2, 13:02
- Costa Rica -- (link) - mara Jun 2, 13:01 1
  - I have seen so many pictures and this place is beautiful -- nm - Redmond in Sin City Jun 2, 13:04
- Nothing's ever "safe" - con_carne Jun 2, 13:01
- Russia, defintely Russia.. - colin Jun 2, 13:00
- i think it's *great* you want to get out and see the world on your own. - Andie Jun 2, 13:00 6
  - I agree. Or if you want to do it by yourself I'd go someplace friendlier and a little easier. Europe would be a better option I think. -- nm - pmb Jun 2, 13:03 4
    - Europe is a great place! -- nm - marcel Jun 2, 13:06 3
      - But it's so damn expensive to get there and do things there. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:06 2
        
        can you get a friend to go along? belize/honduras and even nicaragua would be fine with a friend. -- nm - Andie Jun 2, 13:07 1
        
        Most of my friends don't have jobs for the summer or would be busy that time. -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 2, 13:09
  - or do one or two buddy trips first before going alone -- nm - zork Jun 2, 13:02
I need to tour Latin/South America. - ty97 Jun 2, 12:58 3
- What's the point. They don't have cable. -- nm - Loyola Jun 2, 12:59 2
  - I haven't turned on a tv in a couple of months. -- nm - ty97 Jun 2, 13:01 1
    - Sorry, didn't mean for you to take it that way, t'was more of a throw up in the air laugh comment. -- nm - Loyola Jun 2, 13:02
Word. -- nm - Jim Jun 2, 12:57 2
- Winona! -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 12:58 1
  - Ugh! you can have her :) -- nm - Epiphany Jun 2, 13:11
