    - For me, it would be "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" or "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" - Marlowe Sep 13, 17:03 1
      - Yes to both of those. Great movies. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 17:13

      - The only thing I’ve seen worth much in the recap last Monday was Bray and Corbin/Ricochet. -- nm* - Qale Sep 13, 16:37 6
        
        AJ and Cedric was fantastic -- nm - Remlik Sep 13, 16:51
        
        Their last three shows have all been totally forgettable. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Sep 13, 16:48 4
        
        That does sound pretty good, even if it’s been kind of jammed together. They should take their time and have them main event Hell in a Cell. - Qale Sep 13, 17:06
        
        Which is a step up from actively terrible! -- nm - Tim Sep 13, 16:56
        
        4 Horsewoman by far the best thing. Cedric/AJ was tremendous. Corbin, Joe, Richochet was damn good -- nm - Remlik Sep 13, 16:51 1

  - It's a list of people that spend time watching films from Cannes, Berlin, Venice. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 13, 16:05
  - A bad Film Critics’ list, the ones where they try to hide behind pretension. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Sep 13, 16:01
  - And Ted. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 15:58
- Yeah. And pans labyrinth -- nm - JackDawson Sep 13, 15:45 7
  - another very glaring omission - Jovian Sep 13, 15:46 6
    - Do we want to form a commitee and make our own list and send it to them so they can think our list sucks? (NM) - Marlowe Sep 13, 15:49 5
      - nah. just getting in here late and venting about that horsehit list. -- nm - Jovian Sep 13, 15:53
      - My list would have Seeking a Friend for the End of the World on it. So, I'd win. -- nm - Pengy Sep 13, 15:51 3
        
        Well, mine would too, as a matter of fact, as it was the best film I saw in 2012. - Marlowe Sep 13, 15:55 2
        
        Same here. I had forgotten that Hustlers is hers. That makes it a must-watch. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Sep 13, 16:00 1
        
        Oh, I didn't know that. I'm doubly interested now. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 13, 17:04
- Is such an intentionally bad list that I've decided it's satire. -- nm - Pengy Sep 13, 15:40 11
  - like a really really really bad list. No Kill Bill Vol 1 either? - Jovian Sep 13, 15:40 10
    - It's not even as good as Vol 2 (NM) - Marlowe Sep 13, 15:44 6
      - It pisses all over Vol 2. -- nm - Jovian Sep 13, 15:45 5
        
        No, KB1 needs KB2 to have resonance. -- nm - Roger More Sep 13, 16:40 2
        
        I still would love to see the last cut of Kill Bill before they decided to cut it in 2 volumes. - Marlowe Sep 13, 16:48 1
        
        yes! -- nm - mud Sep 13, 16:55
        
        Only to have its small head cut by a sword. -- (edited) - Marlowe Sep 13, 15:46

How is UNC-Wake Forest a non-conference football game? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 13, 15:05 3
- They scheduled it non-conference because the ACC has them only playing twice in 12 years -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 15:22 2
  - This. They wanted to play each other more often than normal out of division opponents play. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Sep 13, 15:40 1
    - 12 is the answer. 5 division, half the others every year. - Will Hunting Sep 13, 15:45

- great villain, great violence, what's not to like? -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 14:59
- It was good. I really liked it but not that much. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 14:58
- Not if Kim has anything to say about it... -- nm - Pengy Sep 13, 14:58 1
  - Yeah! -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 13, 15:08
