Snowpiercer had a two dimensional fight scene this week. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. -- nm - David Jul 6, 16:55 2
- I haven't seen Snowpiercer, but something like Oldboy? -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 6, 17:11
- I made my parents watch Hamilton on Saturday so I could see it again. Mom loved it (and was surprised), dad was silent through almost all of it except - Tim Jul 6, 17:04
"Booo! Booo! Bow down to her if you want! Bow down! Bow down to her. Bow to the Queen of Slime. The Queen of Filth. The Queen of Putrescence. Booo!" -- (link) - Max Jul 6, 16:53 1

- This one has been posted three times, which I think is the highest for her yet. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 16:38 1
  - I don’t care because it’s the only way I can stand to hear him talk now. -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 16:38
- (when ty was talking about Amy Cooper on B2, I got the two of them confused and through why Sarah would be facing charges. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 6, 16:34 1
  - charges of AWESOMENESS -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 16:35
- I liked her expression as the reporter, too -- nm - prayformojo Jul 6, 16:29 8
  - she always kills it with the cuts to someone else (that's also her). -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 16:31 7
    - The sniffing with her nose at the exact right time -- nm* - Epiphany Jul 6, 16:32 6
      - It’s amazing how she works in the sniffles (why does he always have sniffles)? -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 16:38 5
        
        Dude did more coke than some entire cities. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 16:42
        
        Maybe it's his way of scoffing. -- nm - Max Jul 6, 16:40 3
        
        yeah, scoffing at all the cocaine he snorts -- nm - prayformojo Jul 6, 16:42 2
        
        I really don't think he does anymore. Or at least not for a while. He is too out of it and slow for it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 16:44 1
        
        he's moved on to adderall -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 16:48

- That's....embarrassing. - ty97 Jul 6, 16:16 1
  - Like an intro for The Rookie. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 16:23
Hamilfilm won't be at the Oscars. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 6, 15:43 35
- It makes sense. Even if it was eligible, what category would go it in? -- nm* - ty97 Jul 6, 16:13 1
  - Best Fucking Everything! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 16:22
- Maybe they'll qualify for an ACE Award. -- nm - Mop Jul 6, 16:02
- STV -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 15:59
- I believe that concert films are not eligible (even as documentaries). -- nm - Dano Jul 6, 15:54 1
  - This is somehow Hannah Montana’s fault isn’t it? -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 16:51
- (Because it's not a movie.) -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 15:52
- But will be eligible for Emmys. -- nm - Diva Jul 6, 15:45 27
  - But Lin doesn’t *need* one of those. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 15:49 23
    - why not? Give him a shot at EGOT. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 15:50 22
      - He has an EGT -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 15:51 9
        
        Yeah, he was nominated for Moana (How Far I'll Go) but lost to a song from La La Land. - Tim Jul 6, 15:53 8
        
        And that 'City of Stars' song was boring. They could have at least have gave it to the 'Audition' song. -- nm - Diva Jul 6, 16:31 3
        
        OTOH, he rhymed "island" with "island". -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 16:33 2
        
        4 hours -- nm - David Jul 6, 16:48
        
        still wasn't boring. -- nm - Diva Jul 6, 16:35
        
        Did he write a new song for the In The Heights movie? -- nm - Dano Jul 6, 15:57 3
        
        If he did, they didn't announce it before it got moved to next year. -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 16:03 2
        
        I would guess he wrote/added a song. I'd also guess he gets co-screenwriting and co-producer credit -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 16:15 1
        
        If the IMDb info is accurate, no on the screenwriting but yes as a producer (with PGA seal and all) (NM) - Marlowe Jul 6, 16:35
      - I think he already has the E -- nm - prayformojo Jul 6, 15:50 11
        
        Oh, since you're hear, the best rest area on 95 is in Delaware. DO NOT use the one in Baltimore. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 15:58 3
        
        Jersey gas is cheaper and they pump it for you though. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 16:06 2
        
        PS one of the northbound rest stops is called Kilmer. Stop and get a selfie there. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 16:14
        
        Right, so you don't get out of the car for those. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 16:12
        
        Oh, I missed that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 15:55
        
        Yep, he was famously added to punch up Moana (and had the best songs in that by a mile) - Will Hunting Jul 6, 15:52 5
        
        Moana? Wouldn't that be an Oscar rather than an Emmy? I'm confused. -- nm - Whatever the Hell It Is You Do in Maracello Jul 6, 16:04 4
        
        there is a song in Hamilton that has the exact same rythym as one in Moana (and same voice timber) -- nm* - Beaker Jul 6, 16:25
        
        I think the Emmy was for a televised Tonys award show? -- nm - Whatever the Hell It Is You Do in Maracello Jul 6, 16:04 2
        
        Co-wrote the opening number for the Tonys some years back and that won an Emmy. -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 16:05 1
        
        Yup, Bigger, which is my absolute favorite opening number. -- nm - Whatever the Hell It Is You Do in Maracello Jul 6, 16:07
  - What about the Tonys? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 15:48 2
    - He's had his Tony since like 2008 -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 16:15
    - It took home all the Tonys in 2015 I think -- nm - mud Jul 6, 15:49
How does a fast food place make a hot dog that sells? - Mop Jul 6, 15:34 30
- Do you people not have Sonic? -- nm - David Jul 6, 16:44 4
  - Not since they don’t mask. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 16:56 1
    - Heh, yeah. -- nm - David Jul 6, 17:00
  - Nope but I do have Nathan's which can't be beat for hot dogs. -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 6, 16:49 1
    - Agreed -- nm - David Jul 6, 16:53
- Damp buns are the worst. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 16:26 2
  - That's an essential part of a Montreal steamie. -- nm - Mop Jul 6, 16:34 1
    - Is that the polite version of the Cleveland steamer? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 6, 16:42
- Hot dogs are usually the cheapest thing at a sporting event. That makes a difference. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 16:05
- Sonics hot dogs don’t taste good. Costco has great ones -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 15:56 11
  - Costco has great food, straight up. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 15:57 10
    - Don’t look Krusty: best pizza hands down - Epiphany Jul 6, 15:58 9
      - It’s no Sbarro, authentic New York pizza. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 17:00
      - Your IM buys you time to run -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 6, 16:34

        2 Chains is a national treasure! - Epiphany Jul 6, 16:35 2
        
        I sense a business opportunity! - Marquis de Krusty Jul 6, 16:47 1
        
        :/ -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 16:54
      - (ugh) their pizza is half a step above Dominoes. - JaxSean Jul 6, 16:03 2
        
        They are perfect -- nm - Epiphany Jul 6, 16:17
        
        You're wrong. -- nm - spamlet Jul 6, 16:10
- Price is a huge factor. You can't charge $8-10 for a hot dog, no matter how loaded at a restaurant. -- nm - MDH Jul 6, 15:48 1
  - There's an interesting contrast with that and what the burger became, It did become acceptable to offer a $15-20 burger as an option in restaurants -- (edited) - JD Jul 6, 15:57
- A&W has Whistle Dogs (Probably not a big seller). Costco has Hot Dogs (Probably a big seller). -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 15:47 1
  - I was just looking at their website and they no longer seem to be there. -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 15:49
- There are plenty of fast food places that do hot dogs, but they are mostly local independent places that have been around for ages. -- (edited) - . Jul 6, 15:43
- Pretty sure DQ has them. But generally, here at least, there are plenty of hot dog places, they're just not major chains. - pmb Jul 6, 15:42 1
  - Yeah, and I think people don't trust chains to do them right. Chains aren't local enough to do that. -- nm - . Jul 6, 15:46
- Specialize! I love Wienerschnitzel. If it didn't so adversely affect my blood pressure, I'd eat there more often than the monthly or so that I do -- nm - JD Jul 6, 15:39
- They don't seem as much like a meal - unless they're loaded, and then they're messy :-) -- nm - Meg Jul 6, 15:38

  - They have a bunch of Wranglers now too -- nm - spamlet Jul 6, 15:36
- Like the jeans? Or like the jeep? Because ... I doubt they can achieve either. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 15:06 5
  - There was a time when the Bronco was that ubiquitous. -- nm - General Whee Jul 6, 15:06 4
    - Yes, and during that time, I wanted a Blazer. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 15:11 3
      - My friend bought a Blazer the same year I bought my Jeep - 1998(?) she's still driving it. I traded for my Xterra almost 11 years ago. -- nm - Meg Jul 6, 15:35 1
        
        Smart move, yours is probably a ton safer -- nm - Beryllium Jul 6, 15:45
      - you rebel! -- nm - Epiphany -Empress of the Rainbow Valley Jul 6, 15:24

  - He should pick Duckworth. Let the Republicans attack a. veteran in a wheelchair. -- nm - jnine Jul 6, 17:04
  - Maybe he should pick Sarah Cooper. -- nm - Max Jul 6, 16:44
  - srsly ? -- nm - mud Jul 6, 15:36 5
    - KLB and Val Demmings are his current 1/2. -- nm - MDH Jul 6, 15:49 4
      - I’d be shocked if they were 1-2. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 15:51 3
        
        Harris is #3. By far the most visible and more experienced, but she doesn't bring half of what the other bring to the table - MDH Jul 6, 15:56 2
        
        Demings and Keisha are minor league. You don’t put A-ball pitchers in the bullpen with an old president who’s looking to move on. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 16:02 1
        
        I'd prefer Stacey Abrams over those two, but they all suffer from lack of a national profile. - Tim Jul 6, 16:04
- Why did she get tested then? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 15:06 6
  - plenty of asymptomatic people have to/can/do. -- nm - Diva Jul 6, 15:39
  - My sister needs to get tested so she can go back to work in loco, for instance. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 6, 15:26

  - She is a public figure as Mayor. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 15:08 2
