- SEND HER BACK to the Hanoi Hilton -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 18, 10:30
Looking back, the fact that Tiger won the Masters may not have been given enough credit. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 18, 10:02 5
- I'm more and more subscribing to the idea that he got the cherry on top of his career sundae and is content to basically enjoy life now. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 10:06 1
  - yep. c'est la vie. -- nm - Jovian Jul 18, 10:07
- Oh you mean the Medal of Freedom winner? - Jovian Jul 18, 10:02 2

  - The Dora movie will totally outshine this at the box office. -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 10:45
  - Definitely looks fun but I have zero investment in the FF franchise so I'm not likely to start now -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 10:35 3
    - Suffice it to say that everybody in the franchise was a villain, a hero, and dead at some point. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 18, 10:44
    - This seems to have zero actual F&F involvement aside from their names. It's the perfect time to get invested. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 10:37
    - Would you see it if they were original characters named Kick-Ass and Ass-Kicker? -- nm - Max Jul 18, 10:36
  - The $65 million tracking for this is way low. It's a $100 million or more opening, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jul 18, 10:17 12
    - Is it? I dunno... Saw a few ads, looks fun, but they aren't really playing up the F&F angle. Which makes it just a buddy action flick. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 18, 10:28 4
      - yeah, but it's a buddy action flick with The Rock, Statham and Idris Elba -- nm - decline Jul 18, 10:31
      - So was Rush Hour. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 10:31
      - It's an angle that doesn't really need to be made imo. It's Statham and Rock as their F&F characters. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 10:29 1
        
        Mike Oxmaul. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 10:33

      - The next Tom Cruise! -- (link) - David Jul 18, 10:25 [youtube]
    - I saw the $85 price over there, and easily went long. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 10:21
    - It's only tracking at 65? That's staggeringly low imo. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 10:17 2
      - I was just having this discussion with a BOP writer. He scoffed at the notion of $100 million, which absolutely mystified me. -- nm - David Jul 18, 10:23 1
        
        I'm not going to say 100mil is in the bag...but below 80 would really surprise me. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 10:26
  - Say the line, Bart! -- nm* - Qale Jul 18, 10:14 1
    - "Huh, guess he really is black Superman." -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 10:15

Shaun, apparently you have to walk around with a bucket of ice to get 5G phones to work consistently over 5G - but you can download 2.1G in 34 seconds -- (link) - decline Jul 18, 09:56 3

  - In the moment that last shot was "heh" but on further reflection, that was *really* dark. - Max Jul 18, 09:50
  - I haven't watched the last episode but I haven't been all that impressed with this season so far -- nm - oblique Jul 18, 09:46 4
    - A lot depends on whether or not you like the villains. The one from Shannara has been incredible, as has the massive dude. -- nm - David Jul 18, 09:52 3
      - They're the best villains since the silent blue-skinned ball juggler. -- nm - Max Jul 18, 09:58 2
        
        "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all!" - Will Hunting Jul 18, 10:09 1
        
        Ha, that's the best line. I always crack up at it. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 10:17
