  - Cheater! -- nm - Kung Pow Jun 6, 13:06
- Probably in the minority, but I'm growing a bit weary of the super-hero genre. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 6, 12:41 17
  - I agree with this. I will also say I loved Iron-man and Batman. You are right though same formula. - Redmond Jun 6, 12:43 16

        More like 2000. -- nm - Qale Jun 6, 12:53 1
        
        some kid ... somewhere ... posting on FML -- nm - JenBro Jun 6, 13:07
    - I don't think following a "formula" is necessarily a bad thing for a movie, as long as the movie does something interesting with it. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 6, 12:47
    - Oh I left out something. Superhero explores new superpowers sometimes crashing, falling, for comedy purposes. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:45 9
      - I'm guessing you and CT aren't comic readers. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:51 8
        
        You are right. I am not a comic reader. I love em when it's done right. I hate em when it's done wrong (IE Spider-man 3) -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:53 7
        
        I haven't seen Spider-Man 3 in a long time but I never understood the hatey for that movie. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:54 6
        
        There were only a couple of scenes in the movie that I couldn't stand (spoilers) - Stephen Jun 6, 13:02 1
        
        spoilers - Redmond Jun 6, 13:06
        
        Halfway through Spider-man 3 RC, Guy and Myself were laughing AT IT. It was so stupidly horrid it became funny as hell. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:57 3
        
        At the final sequence I was crying from laughing so hard at Guy's Tobey McGuire Venom impression. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:58 2
        
        See, I liked that scene cause it was the kind of wacky stuff they used to do in the comic in the '70s. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 6, 13:20 1
        
        HATED IT! I don't trust your reviews anymore now. Unless you are paying for my wine. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 13:22
- You don't know what kind of mayhem this information caused yesterday. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:31 18
  - in the end that's the difference between being a journalist and a hack. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 12:40 8
    - What is this supposed to mean? -- nm - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:42 7
      - that if you're (the generic you, not you specifically) publishing nameless, sourceless rumours, you're a hack. - mafic Jun 6, 12:47 6
        
        I guess.. the thing is that the source is accurate... the problem is that none of the people reporting on it were actually *there* :) -- nm - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:48 5
        
        which makes it like that boston globe reporter that got fired a year or two back for filing the fake seal hunt story. - mafic Jun 6, 12:53 4
        
        You gotta understand that most of these sites are privately own/run... no one gets fired for bad journalism. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:56 3
        
        yeah, I get that. I doubt anyone at TMZ gets fired for shoddy journalism, but who *really* believes them without seeing it somewhere else? - mafic Jun 6, 13:04 2
        
        they don't care if you believe them. only that you click to them first for the story -- nm - dug Jun 6, 13:08 1
        
        Exactly... that's what we're basically dealing with. -- nm - secretslacker Jun 6, 13:21
  - that has to be really frustrating. -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 12:38 6
    - Probably even moreso if I actually attended but it was a pretty amazing interview. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:41 5
      - So is the person that lost their job the one responsible for leaking it to the hacks? -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:46 1
        
        Not exactly... it was one of the studio people who was responsible for containing the info. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:47
      - ok I'm missing something.... - Remlik Jun 6, 12:44 2
        
        I've probably already said too much. - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:46 1
        
        ah I gotcha. -- nm - Remlik Jun 6, 12:52
  - wah wah waaah -- nm - dug Jun 6, 12:32 1
    - Hey, how's that screenwriting coming along? - secretslacker Jun 6, 12:36
- they can't drive this genre into the ground fast enough for me -- nm - dug Jun 6, 12:28
Here's an interesting proposal. Drinking "learner permits" for those under 21. -- (link) - TWuG, First Apostle of our Lord and Savior Musubi. Jun 6, 12:19 8
- drinking at 21 is pretty ridiculous anyway. - mafic Jun 6, 12:23 2
  - so you should be able to drink at age 14 in the US -- (link) - marcel Jun 6, 12:36
  - I agree. -- nm - TWuG, First Apostle of our Lord and Savior Musubi. Jun 6, 12:25
- hell no -- nm - dug Jun 6, 12:21 4
  - Some of the best and dumbest ideas come from colleges. I put this one down as dumb. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:23 3
    - they'd have to take a class! -- nm - dug Jun 6, 12:31 2
      - "Shit!! I flunked Drinking 101" -- nm - Nerds Jun 6, 12:32 1
        
        How do you flunk the final? By getting a hangover? -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:34
You know your FBB Team is snake bit when you go to replace your SS who is on the DL and the replacement... - Mel Profit Jun 6, 12:03
"Wounds my heart with a monotonous languor." -- nm - marcel Jun 6, 12:02
Why did take me this long to realize I can slice mushrooms with my hardboiled egg slicer? -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 6, 11:58 16
- also, strawberries! -- nm - loosilu Jun 6, 13:03
- You're going to love my nuts. -- nm - Vince Offer Jun 6, 12:40

- A little out of your neighborhood, but if you're down this way check out the old Tom's Farms stand on Euclid. It's now - MojaveMeg Jun 6, 12:06
- you enjoy chopping things into teeny tiny pieces -- nm - 'lia Jun 6, 12:02
- You have a hardboiled egg slicer? Why don't you just use a knife. -- nm - Loyola Jun 6, 12:01 6
  - egg slicer slices an egg in one move -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 6, 12:03 2
    - So can Steven Seagal iirc -- nm - Loyola Jun 6, 12:04 1
      - His movies stink like rotten eggs too -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 12:07
  - Cause I told him how much easier it is to do with my super egg slicer! (nm) - Billy Mays Jun 6, 12:03 2
    - *sells him a sham-wow, a snuggie, didi-seven, and some oxi-clean* -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 12:07 1
      - that's way too much late-nite TV for you buster! -- nm - 'lia Jun 6, 12:09
- i think you were pritty fast this time - Danedukenuuk Jun 6, 12:01
- It was probably the poison nastiness from eating mushrooms in the first place that affected your cognitive ability... - Stephen Jun 6, 12:01
USS Indianapolis Scene of "Jaws" on HBO Zone right now. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 6, 11:58
halftime.....this is exciting -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 6, 11:54 2

  - Sweden - Denmark (World cup Qualifyer) - Danedukenuuk Jun 6, 11:56
Effin poison ivy. I wanna itch! -- nm - CQ Jun 6, 11:52 7

- You mean, you want to SCRATCH, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 11:54 1
  - um, yeah -- nm - CQ Jun 6, 12:01
- How did this happen? - 'lia Jun 6, 11:54 1
  - tell me about it -- nm - CQ Jun 6, 12:00
- But you can't itch! -- nm - mara Jun 6, 11:52
I recently glanced at a few rent-a-coder type sites, and they seemed to be full of "clone this website" or "clone that program" requests... - Beryllium Jun 6, 11:51 1
- ... oh, and it just occurred to me ... I once went to used car dealership in the 99-00 and offered to make them an interactive listing service ... - Beryllium Jun 6, 11:53
"In China, a new KFC opens daily" - that headline scares me. - Beryllium Jun 6, 11:44 5
- they still probably have about the population of the US unable to afford KFC, so probably a while yet. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 12:02
- 312.50 months -- nm - Stephen Jun 6, 11:48
- IIRC they did at least one news program about that during the beijing olympics -- nm - 'lia Jun 6, 11:48
- *declares war* -- nm - General Cho Jun 6, 11:48 1
  - silly roly-poly -- nm - 'lia Jun 6, 11:48
What kind of nerd doesn't know a patent from a copyright? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 6, 11:35 10
- What bugs me is people who don't know "copyright" from "copywrite." -- nm - mara Jun 6, 11:53 3
  - Colin put copywrite at the end of every fundcast and I mentioned it EVERY TIME. -- nm - Qale Jun 6, 12:49

The Cantor Exchange beta didn't have The Hangover on its market. -- nm - Inigo Jun 6, 11:34 8
- The biggest flaw I've seen so far... - David Jun 6, 11:41 7
  - but really that just shows that it's an inefficient market - mafic Jun 6, 12:18
  - Everything I ever heard about it seemed to be about making money from other people's ignorance. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 11:54 5
    - Generally speaking, in gambling, those sorts of arbitrage advantages disappear quickly. - David Jun 6, 11:58 4
      - and generally speaking that's really what any stock market is when you boil it down. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 12:19 2
        
        An HSX-type exchange has *many* more sure things than an actual stock market. That's why the original HSX instituted the halt in the first place. -- nm - mara Jun 6, 12:22 1
        
        I'd argue that HSX instituted the halt is because it gave them better data to sell. they want a general public opinion on the movie, and the easiest - mafic Jun 6, 12:34
      - But at least it's completely in the rules--even expected--to profit from others' ignorance. -- nm - nubby Jun 6, 12:04
