- So...Machine Gun Kelly is not a rapper? Huh. - JaxSean May 20, 11:35 7
  - He is a rapper - stepping outside his lines. He's put a lot of content out in quarantine. Smoke n Drive being my fav ( its rappish) - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:38 3
    - he's got that style of singing where it sounds like he's pushing the words out of his mouth. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 11:52 2
      - that is accurate. probably never had proper vocal training - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:59
      - He does *not* sling, that is for sure. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:55
  - Uh, at least he wasn't rapping. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:36
  - He plays Tommy Lee in The Dirt. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 11:36 1

- Brian Austin Green says they're just friends, I beg to differ. -- nm - jnine May 20, 11:34 2
  - I'm biased but I didn't see the chemistry. - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:36 1
    - But they're hanging out at her house during quarantine. I have to think they're doing more than talking about their movie. -- nm - jnine May 20, 12:39
- Neat. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 11:29
- (newly single)... that was.... not unpleasant. -- nm* - Spawn May 20, 11:28 3

Justice League The Snyder Cut will be released on HBO Max -- (link) - Remlik May 20, 11:14 17
- Maybe I'll try this. It has to be better than all the Marvel blahness. -- nm - JaxSean May 20, 11:29 2
  - If quality does not get it for you, go for trash! - Spawn May 20, 11:35
  - Begone, vile troll! -- nm - David May 20, 11:35
- Why on earth would anyone sit through this again? -- nm - MDH May 20, 11:21 2
  - Four. Hours. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:22 1
    - Haven’t we suffered enough in 2020? -- nm - Will Hunting May 20, 11:26
- 4 hour cut,actors possibly coming back, Darkseid will be in it, effects to be finished. -- (link) - Remlik May 20, 11:18 7
  - If they want to throw money in a hole, I have a shovel -- nm - Reagen May 20, 11:20 6
    - Your shovel has more value than this idea. -- nm - David May 20, 11:21
    - Yup. Just like the first version I will only watch it when I can do it for free. - Spawn May 20, 11:21 4
      - So, the day it releases? -- nm - Shaun May 20, 11:35 3
        
        I do not have HBO Max. -- (edited) - Spawn May 20, 11:47 2
        
        Arrrr me matey. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 11:58 1
        
        Nope. I will not put *any* effort in to seeing it. Your idea will probably be for WW1984. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:59
- they should have just let Superman have a moustache, and never mention it. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 11:17 1
  - LOL -- nm - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:22
- OFFS -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:14
HBO Max to release Justice League The Snyder Cut -- nm - Beaker May 20, 11:13 9
- I'll watch it to compare but I'm not expecting anything. I liked JL worse overall than BvS, so yeah. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 11:20 7
  - BvS is two scenes. Metropolis fallout and "I thought she was with you". -- nm - Reagen May 20, 11:21 6
    - three scenes. Batman in the warehouse rescuing Ma Kent, is perfect Batman in action. -- nm - Remlik May 20, 11:56 1
      - See, people? This is why I keep him around. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:57
    - *shrug* I actively purchased a physical copy of BvS. I saw JL twice (theatre and then a background viewing, so 1.5 times I guess). -- nm - Shaun May 20, 11:31
    - And JL has only the scene with Momoa talking to the team. A movie with him and Gal would be fine. The rest...ugh -- nm - Will Hunting May 20, 11:26 1
      - JL wasn't bad, just boring. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 11:27
    - Nah, the actual BvS scene is one. - Spawn May 20, 11:24
- OFFS -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:14
Destroy All Humans: new trailer game remake in stores on July 28th -- (link) - Remlik May 20, 10:59 [youtube] 3
- 8-) I just started playing the original on the PS Now service - JD May 20, 11:07 2
  - so now you'll dream about popping brains out of the stupid humans! -- nm - Remlik May 20, 11:12 1
    - I haven't put that many hours yet ;-) I'd forgotten just how much fun the concept is to play -- nm - JD May 20, 11:25
From the Owen Hart episode... - David May 20, 10:50 8
- Kevin Dunn is almost as bad as Vince. -- nm - Tim May 20, 11:26 2
  - All of his inner circle is. -- nm - David May 20, 11:35 1
    - You’d think Pritchard would be better with Smackdown, but he’s booking terrible. -- nm - Will Hunting May 20, 11:37
- no question they should have stopped the show. none. -- nm - Remlik May 20, 11:12
- Wow. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 20, 11:05
- Sounds about right. -- nm - Qale May 20, 11:04
- geebus -- nm - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:01
- :( -- nm - budice May 20, 10:55
So Yahoo Sports is doing a "Top 25 Athletes under 25 Years of Age." thing this week. Connor McDavid is 13th. That's stupidly low. - Shaun May 20, 10:46 1
- Well, it depends on who the dozen are. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 10:54
McConnell is polling 47-44 in Kentucky. Biden > Trump is the only thing I really care about but man, if this flips too I’d be ecstatic. -- nm - Volnelk, Caveman and Survivor # Picking Champion. May 20, 10:44 1
- KY polling tends to have a lot of non-responders - Reagen May 20, 10:51
Krusty, and anyone else: You can fill out a form to get on the list for the After Party zoom. -- (link) - Shaun May 20, 10:38 1
- Very cool! -- nm - Krusty May 20, 10:52
Season 1 of Supernatural is *SO* different than current day. -- nm - Strongbad May 20, 10:28 23
- I kind of liked the monster of the week back then. - sycor May 20, 10:38 20
  - Hmm. I did make it through season 1 partly due to this. Maybe I would like later seasons. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:03 18
    - Dude, this show has a lot of Coors rock. You appreciate that like I do, I'm sure -- nm - con_carne May 20, 11:08 14
      - LOL - I'm stealing 'Coors Rock' - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:12 10
        
        Me too. That's a perfect description. -- nm - sycor May 20, 11:28
        
        Heh. It made me think of these ads. -- (link) - Spawn May 20, 11:17 [youtube] 6
        
        Girl popping at :09 is now the mom that has the best snacks for playdates. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 11:53 2
        
        At the theater snack bar, I recently had a mom tell her kids "Let's jam" when they were done buying. - con_carne May 20, 11:57 1
        
        ... and then she died of COVID. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:58
        
        Okay, that took me to a certain place. LOL -- nm - con_carne May 20, 11:28 1
        
        In. Deed. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:34
        
        hee! -- nm - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:25
        
        It's very evocative. -- nm - Reagen May 20, 11:16 1
        
        I once saw a Coors can in a hard rock-based Starter Pack meme and I could never shake how on the money it was -- nm - con_carne May 20, 11:31
      - It was a show that seemed to have all the right pieces bu just was not getting it done. - Spawn May 20, 11:12 2
        
        There are some good seasons after Season 5. But like Pippy said, Season 5 was a natural ending. - sycor May 20, 11:28
        
        There's no one who thinks adding "basically Constantine" to the show was a bad idea. -- nm - con_carne May 20, 11:18
    - Yeah I think it's season 2 where they get their footing and the overall story starts to come together. - sycor May 20, 11:06 2
      - Season 5 was a natural ending - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:10
      - Hmm. Might make a point to watch 2-5 then. Thanks! -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:06
  - I'm with you, I can't seem to make it past season 8 and I've tried multiple times -- nm - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:02
- TO be expected, that was like 30 years ago. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 20, 10:37
- its night and day -- nm - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 10:29
I need credit card recommendations. I have an airlines rewards card with over a million miles I may never use, I need a good cash back card that will - jnine May 20, 10:24 22
- My Fidelity card is a straight 2% on everything, no limit, deposited directly into my Fidelity brokerage account every month. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man May 20, 10:56 2
  - Fidelity used to give me a gold AMEX for free that was automatically paid out of my Fidelity account, but AMEX stopped the program. I didn't know - jnine May 20, 10:59 1
    - And I think you can link it to any Fidelity account, including IRAs, I just happen to have it going into my brokerage acct. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man May 20, 11:17
- It would depend on splits. I have a card that's giving 12% back at grocery stores right now. -- nm - David May 20, 10:43 2
  - Is it only groceries? I haven't been in a store in over 2 months. -- nm - jnine May 20, 10:57 1
    - Yes. It's an airline card that wouldn't have much value. So, they pivoted in the short term to keep people using it. - David May 20, 10:59
- amex had 3% back on restaurants, Costco citi %4 on gas...but I don't think it works on cash payments to bills -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 10:37 7
  - Probably need to be a Costco member to get that? I get 3% on gas from BoA and that is my MINI card. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 11:05
  - no more fly off to another state for a weekend see a big band concert???? -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 10:39 5
    - Not for a long time. I'm not even going to the local ones. -- nm - jnine May 20, 11:01 4
      - I'm so sorry. I know that has been a major part of your life for a long time. -- nm - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:03 3
        
        It was great and I miss it, but I can't believe how much money I'm saving not going anywhere. Which is good because the Reps. seem determined to make - jnine May 20, 11:07 2
        
        holy crap - I had not realized that about the pensions. - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:40 1
        
        I was glad Green Day finally postponed the Hella Mega Tour. Not only was I not going in a pit, but I didn't really want to be in Pittsburgh in August. - jnine May 20, 12:42
- Not sure it's "airline" but I use a Capital One VentureOne. I like it. - sycor May 20, 10:36 3
  - That's great you can use it for rent, I wish I could put my mortgage on mine. -- nm - jnine May 20, 11:03
  - Thanks. Yeah, I have the airline covered, I need a non-airline. -- nm - jnine May 20, 10:39 1
    - Ok then it should work. You can redeem points for whatever. I've redeemed for a few free dinners lately, gift cards, etc. -- nm - sycor May 20, 10:42
- citi double cash? 2% back. that's my every day. -- nm - amanda May 20, 10:28 3
  - This is probably the way to go if there is no interest in travel rewards. Chase Sapphire is the go to in that department for me. -- nm - oblique May 20, 10:52 1
    - That's where I was going to go next, but I don't think I would be using it for a long time. -- nm - jnine May 20, 11:02
  - I knew you'd have a card in mind. Thanks. -- nm - jnine May 20, 10:36
What a sweet jump shot! -- (link) - David May 20, 10:21
Anyone watching Hollywood? - znufrii, silly old man May 20, 10:18 8
- Thanks. ST Poll: what should I know about Ryan Murphy if I've never seen any of his shows and am thinking of watching Hollywood? -- nm - con_carne May 20, 10:43 4
  - You get one season of a good show, and then absolute trainwreck. (i.e. every Ryan Murphy show) -- nm - MDH May 20, 11:06 2
    - Thanks. He's one of the pop culture punch lines that I never did quite grasp. -- nm - con_carne May 20, 11:54
    - So The Politician Season 2 will be a dumpster fire containing hot lettuce and shitty diapers? -- nm - Shaun May 20, 11:30
  - He's preposterous - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:04
- We liked it a lot. -- nm - Remlik May 20, 10:34
- Just started with the first episode the other day. Planning to get back to it. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 20, 10:24
- yep. so far, so good. -- nm - Diva May 20, 10:22
What I am hoping for is an AOS Zoom After Party. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 10:16
Man, season 2 of The Last Kingdom is just full of some ripping good yarns - con_carne May 20, 10:14
$25 FandangoNOW gift cards are $20 at Best Buy. Let's see if they'll let me use my $50 BB gift card to buy them. I got one with my daughters iPhone - oblique May 20, 10:08 2
- Ah well, nope. Can't use gift card balance to buy gift cards apparently -- nm - oblique May 20, 10:09 1
  - bastards! -- nm - decline May 20, 10:18
Presumably the people who would object to restaurant info retention are the ones who ride a bike to the restaurant, pay in cash, and have no phone/ID - Beryllium May 20, 10:06 3
- Meh, get carry out. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 10:20
- I HAVE PRIVATE THINGS TO BUY IN THE STORE! YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST GIVE YOU ME PRIVATE INFO? -- nm - oblique May 20, 10:10 1
  - "Sir, this is Café Dildo, we've seen it all." -- Newfoundland, probably. -- nm - Beryllium May 20, 10:16
Nine-Nine? -- (link) - Qale May 20, 10:02 [youtube]
2016: Putin/Trump cheating took the game into Hil's red zone, Comey came in and kicked the field goal. Period. -- nm - mud May 20, 09:57 1
- oh you mean when DJT almost literally made out with Comey at that event in early in 2017 when he called him over from across the room? - Jovian May 20, 10:15
doesn't kim's convenience have a laugh track? -- nm - amanda May 20, 09:55 1
- No. -- nm - Shaun May 20, 10:39
I see what Pippy's been doing to stay busy. -- (link) - jnine May 20, 09:53 3
- " I'm Gravy, baby!" I snorted out loud. - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 10:34 2
  - Galveston, oh Galveston, I still see your rednecks raging. -- nm - jnine May 20, 10:38 1
    - lol -- nm - Pippy - Rainbow Chaser May 20, 11:09
C'mon in, guys! -- nm - con_carne May 20, 09:51 5
- Random Survivor thought. Not a spoiler. - Volnelk, Caveman and Survivor # Picking Champion. May 20, 10:01 4
  - he does tally them. he gets them, tallies them, and stacks them in the correct order for maximum shock value when read. -- nm - amanda May 20, 10:13
  - I actually gave this some thought -- (edited) - Jovian May 20, 10:06 2
    - Of course. The first name read almost never goes home, unless it's unanimous. -- nm - jnine May 20, 10:27
    - oh most definitely otherwise every Tribal for the last 40 shows have all been a lucky coincidence -- nm - Beaker May 20, 10:09
