- I'm sorry - I know you were excited about that job initially. - JaxSean Aug 12, 09:04 1
  - I was sold on it as one thing and it ended up being another that slowly got worse. Curbside is essentially Amazon with better AC and view. - Qale Aug 12, 09:10
ST Quiz Time: IGN has ranked all 23 MCU Phase 1-3 movies. What is the Top 10? -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 08:53 51

        My favorite part of IW is (spoils) - Will Hunting Aug 12, 09:45
        
        This has been a huge shift for me in liking movies Marvel or not. When characters are written to be so dumb I immediately lose interest. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 09:43 1
        
        have you met people? People are dumb. -- nm - mud Aug 12, 09:45
    - Meanwhile, IGN writes that the plot and villains aren't memorable. So I wonder what planet they're on -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 09:35 2
      - Depends on which they mean (spoils - Will Hunting Aug 12, 09:43
      - Now that I have seen Killjoys I look forward to the rewatch. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 09:37
    - They are totally off on Dr Strange - eag Aug 12, 09:31 1
      - Agreed. It is in my top 5 faves but bias aside, it should be top 10. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 09:36
- Now lets guess the 3 last place movies. -- nm - Bacon Aug 12, 09:15 5
  - Thor 2, Ultron, Hulk -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 12, 09:17

- GotG -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 09:09 10
  - #2 -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 09:09 9
    - Hahahahahahaha. Hilarious., -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Aug 12, 10:07
    - Nevermind, read this as GOTG2. #1 is good. -- nm* - MDH Aug 12, 09:15
    - Well, they were due for a massive mistake. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 12, 09:13 6
      - Yeah, but that was leaving off Iron Man. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 09:21 4
        
        "Guardians isn't a great movie because it's in the MCU; it's a great movie because it's a great movie." -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 09:23 3
        
        It's one of the few of the Marvel movies I truly enjoyed. It stands on its own as a sci-fi moviej. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 12, 09:37 2
        
        Exactly. As the link mentions, it is the one movie that does so most. Though they miss on Doctor Strange which also does. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 09:39 1
        
        Doctor Strange sucked. Dreary origin/setup movie devoid of any surprises. -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 09:50
      - 7.8 out of 10. Too much water. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 09:14
- Infinity War, EndGame, Spidey:HC -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 12, 09:09 1
  - #5, #4, #10 -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 09:09

  - n/a, #1, #8, #6 -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 09:00 10
    - LOL. Then the list is an absolute mess. Iron Man is top tier Marvel, and there aren't many of those. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 09:15 9
      - If you go back and rewatch Iron Man 1, it's shockingly light in comparison to the newer stuff. - Will Hunting Aug 12, 09:19 6
        
        That's irrelevant. It didn't yet tie into the bigger universe, but it's probably the best origin story film they've made. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 09:36 3
        
        word -- nm - Pippy, wrong turn lackey Aug 12, 09:56
        
        That's not a high bar -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 09:51 1
        
        It sets the bar and its why the others struggle to match it. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 10:04
        
        As opposed to... Guardians of the Galaxy? -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 09:32
        
        *Shrug* that's why I liked it. It was fun, and that's enough for me. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 09:20
      - Black Panther is my #1. -- nm - Qale Aug 12, 09:16 1
        
        That's top tier as well. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 09:18
Did we set a draft date for BF? -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 08:47 2
- It's probably going to be two weeks from today. -- nm* - David Aug 12, 08:52 1
  - sweet. finally I won't be on vacation for it. -- nm - Beaker Aug 12, 09:14
YDC: Knock on wood, this is the first weekend in a long time I played all the options, and have all of them in the correct positions. -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 08:40 3
- I think I had them all right. You need to start having some red days. I can't keep up. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 08:41 2
  - Heh, we've been going back and forth over the past 1-2 years. - MDH Aug 12, 08:48 1
    - It looks close, but you've got about a 40M edge on me. That's a fairly decent gap. I actually went up a spot on the weekend, so that was cool. -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 08:50
I read something on twitter this weekend (I don't know where it was) about Trump having threatened young women at Epstein's house/island? - amanda Aug 12, 08:35 1
- "I was in a car on my way to camping." - Cuzzin Todd Aug 12, 08:45
GLOW S3: A; not as comedic as the other two season, but its writing and acting is really deft - prayformojo Aug 12, 08:16 6
- Any nudity? -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 08:41 2
  - Some, yes. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 12, 08:44 1
    - Marc Maron peen does not count. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 09:12
- It's shockingly experimental at times. - David Aug 12, 08:32 2
  - I agree with the small quibble - the resolution of that felt rushed; also, one other small complaint (spoilers) -- (edited) - prayformojo Aug 12, 08:34 1
    - Slight spoilers in PFM's post and this one. - David Aug 12, 08:42
Random Roles with Thomas Haden Church -- (link) - Beaker Aug 12, 08:12 2
- I was sad when he left Wings for Ned and Stacey, but fell in love with him (and Debra Messing) on that show and was heartbroken when it ended. -- nm - Mop Aug 12, 10:08
- Nick Offerman Cats is quite the visual. Floating around out there -- nm - budice Aug 12, 08:14
The first player ever cut by the Carolina Panthers was...Bill Goldberg - Flavorize Aug 12, 08:09 1
- Why do you think he lists Atlanta as his hometown? -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Aug 12, 08:16
ST Research Project: We are looking for a backyard "shed" for the new house, and just about every one on Costco.com says, - JaxSean Aug 12, 07:45 27
- Found this - con_carne Aug 12, 08:53 1
  - Yeah, I'm wondering if this is it. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 10:12
- What would it cost for someone to build one for you locally? -- nm - Shaun Aug 12, 08:40 1
  - Haven't quite looked into that yet. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 08:52
- Maybe something to do with the laws in FL? Like they're not approved for FL so they won't ship them there? -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 07:50 4
  - This is where I'm at a loss. I have no idea. - JaxSean Aug 12, 07:54 3
    - No clue. My best guess is it's a FL thing and they have regulations for sheds that Costco sheds don't meet so they don't ship there. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 07:57 2
      - Florida Man calls them houses? -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 08:05
      - I expect Jax will be stopped at the FL border with his illegal shed now -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 07:58
- My shed is both rising and sinking into our yard on different sides. I can ship you mine -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 07:48 1
  - This sounds like Poltergeist 4: The Kilboing -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 07:49
- "Delivery is available to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico." But not Florida. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 07:47
- is it going to be a she-shed? -- nm - decline Aug 12, 07:47 2
  - “Nobody burned down your she shed, Cheryl.” -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 12, 07:55
  - "That's what she said." -- nm - budice Aug 12, 07:52
- Because Florida. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 07:45 11
  - Thankfully I live in South Georgia, but get all the financial perks of living in Florida. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 07:48 10
    - did we know you technically lived in Georgia now? - Andie Aug 12, 07:51 7
      - (we don't) - JaxSean Aug 12, 07:53 5
        
        This is 100% correct and applies to the entire panhandle area. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 12, 10:14
        
        *plays banjo* -- nm - budice Aug 12, 08:10
        
        Panhandle is not much further south. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 07:55
        
        oooOOOooo -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 07:55
        
        Unlike the Wisconsin/Illinois border which is stark and immediately noticeable :) - oblique Aug 12, 07:54
      - GaSean? -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 07:51
    - Can you have it shipped to another Costco and go pick it up? -- nm - Pippy, wrong turn lackey Aug 12, 07:50 1
      - We have some friends in St Mary's, GA. We may have them ship it there and we'll rent a u-haul. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 07:51
