  - That's my logic on the opening and the WOM. - David Jun 29, 19:14
  - It may be too significantly different from Borat to be even be considered sequelish. -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 19:14 2
    - but does this matter for opening weekend? -- nm - the haterstown campus loves mandy lane Jun 29, 19:19 1
      - Sure, if those who saw Borat aren't really paying attention to the part where the Bruno ads say, "from the creator of Borat." -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 19:24

  - Even Michael Bay was wrong on Transformers 2. I mean he was complaining about the marketing. -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 19:11 1

- I guess you're right. I'm maybe expecting some extremist group to make an issue of it :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 29, 19:11
- I'd do OK on general Bible questions. - Reagen Jun 29, 19:11

    - Misogynist!! -- nm - Redmond for sale $1000 Jun 29, 19:03 4
      - I don't know why I was even the slightest bit worried. I'd think Pippy would have smacked me by now if they really were such. -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 19:06 3
        
        You can please some of the people some of the time, but... -- nm - Redmond for sale $1000 Jun 29, 19:08 2
        
        Pleasing Pippy is Paramount. (the alliteration nt.) -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 19:16 1
        
        I would love to please Pippy. - Redmond for sale $1000 Jun 29, 19:17

one of the suspects on the closer this week looks a good bit like (sp) - prayformojo Jun 29, 18:55
I hate when I have a dirty song as an earworm when my mom is visiting. -- nm - nubby Jun 29, 18:53

      - "Because I've seen them." -- nm - mara Jun 29, 19:07 5
        
        "OK, maybe I didn't." -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 19:10 4
        
        That refers to the "had you going there," not the "because I've seen them." -- nm - mara Jun 29, 19:12 3
        
        what does Bery say he meant? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 19:16 2

        drat. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 19:21
- The five in your IM are all theatre-musts (vs. home DVD), in part because they all share a claustrophobic angle, amongst other traits. -- nm - second gary Jun 29, 19:03
- poor stanley kubrick. -- nm - mafic Jun 29, 18:58 4
  - This is not a comprehensive list. - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:59 3

      - I've had my fill of haunting, plodding, and halting films for the time being. Trying to go in a different direction. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 19:02 1
        
        fair enough. -- nm - mafic Jun 29, 19:05

    - [deleted]
    - if you have to ask this question, you need to (re)watch the movie. the head, the tail, the whole damn thing -- nm - dug Jun 29, 18:57

        What's the one where he's a psychologist/author and Bill Murray is his patient? It's pretty good. -- nm - mara Jun 29, 19:02 4
        
        Gill should have won an Oscar for his performance. -- nm - Redmond for sale $1000 Jun 29, 19:04
        
        What About Bob. -- nm - David Jun 29, 19:03
        
        What about Bob? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 19:03 1
        
        Death Therapy! -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 19:04
        
        American Graffiti! -- nm - J Jun 29, 19:01
        
        Mr Holland's Opus! -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 18:59 1
        
        You read my mind. (Can't watch him any more after that; it even retroactively ruined Another Stakeout.) - Beryllium Jun 29, 19:00
        
        I still vividly recall that scene you described even 30 years later. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 29, 18:58

  - Saw that a few weeks ago. Hilarious :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:55
- The Sting is great....and I can't believe you'd rather watch LoA instead of Jaws -- nm - J Jun 29, 18:53 2
  - It took me a decade to work up the courage to watch Arachnophobia, and it was a freaking comedy. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:54 1
    - yeah, it's not about a bee -- nm - dug Jun 29, 18:56
- put Lawrence at the top IMO -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 18:53
- Did I miss some list of "movies you should see" or something? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 29, 18:52 1
  - No, I'm fine-tuning my ZipList (Think: Netflix Canada), and using their by-the-decade list to come up with ideas. - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:53
- A Clockwork Orange starts very different than it finishes but it's genius. -- nm - David Jun 29, 18:52
- STSPOW! -- nm - dug Jun 29, 18:52 2
  - supreme post of the week? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:53 1

      - [deleted]
      - Awesome. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:57
    - "After I finally left the meth lab." -- nm - David Jun 29, 18:54 11
      - [deleted] 8
        
        Serious question: how did they not notice a meth lab? Does he own a couple of acres of land? -- nm - David Jun 29, 18:59 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        Did they not find him suspicious at first? There has to be more to it than that. - David Jun 29, 19:02 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Sounds like counsel gives solid advice. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 19:05 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        (Because he's like totally reformed and stuff.) -- nm - David Jun 29, 19:12
        
        Should suggest it to the Breaking Bad writers. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 19:01
      - With the underage minor I met on the Internet. -- nm - Redmond for sale $1000 Jun 29, 18:57 1

  - "You sunk my battleship!' nm - ralph wiggum Jun 29, 18:51 1
    - pretty sneaky, sis! -- nm - dug Jun 29, 18:51
huh. Raw is on my TV. I've never actually seen this before. - loosilu Jun 29, 18:41 4
- That tag team match was actually decent. Don't get used to it. -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 18:46 3
  - used to what? It looked like four guys randomly throwing themselves around. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 18:48 2
    - Yeah, that was good! When they stop having guys do that, it's bad. Which on RAW is sadly like 70% of the time. :( -- nm - Qale Jun 29, 18:51
    - And that was a *good* match! -- nm - Tim Jun 29, 18:51
It's great when a fan makes a better video than the band (vid) - Stewie Jun 29, 18:41 [youtube]

- It's Chinatown, Jake. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 18:40 3
  - Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:41 2
    - you can't correct my quotes when you haven't seen it! -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 18:42 1
      - This should be true ... and yet it isn't. Muahahahah. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:43
- Hmm. The 70s had a lot of movies that I am pretty sure I would like, but can't justify spending the time to watch. - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:40 1
  - Chinatown is completely worth it. nm - ralph wiggum Jun 29, 18:45
- Watch. -- nm - H-Mogul Jun 29, 18:39 6
  - But pay attention. It's remarkably complex for its time. -- nm - David Jun 29, 18:40 5
    - for its time? -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 18:41 4
      - ? -- nm - David Jun 29, 18:41 1
        
        just thinking of Bergman, etc. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 18:43
      - I can't tell if David just complimented or insulted Transformers 2. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 29, 18:41 1
