I wasn't expecting so much nudity from The French Dispatch. -- nm* - Ender Nov 11, 14:53
*bursts into view...Nekkid and Crazy...naked save for the drag queen body paint make-up...bashing into people...sees Meg and veers to avoid... - Nekkid Crazy Mel Nov 11, 14:33 4
- I feel so honored. It's not everyone who rates a random NCM sighting ;) -- nm - Meg Nov 11, 14:44 3
  - He just knows the folks to not provoke. Hope you and all, are well. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 11, 14:53 2

- Everyone seems to like Skyfall, but I was so underwhelmed by that whole movie. - MDH Nov 11, 14:43 8

        I think that was the one good Pierce one? yeah, who cares -- nm - mud Nov 11, 14:54
- Skyfall is a *gorgeous* movie. The lantern boat is one of the most vivid and memorable scenes in any movie just on the colors. - Will Hunting Nov 11, 14:31
nm, I thought awards were before final game -- nm* - spamlet Nov 11, 14:23 1

- How will you walk out with it? Big purse? -- nm - budice Nov 11, 13:58 7

  - So? They judged that this deadline needed to be delayed so as to allow him his right to appeal. If they don’t, he suffers the harm of document - Will Hunting Nov 11, 13:39 3
    - Yes, this is standard procedure unless the argument is so obviously a loser that they don't think it has any chance at winning. This is fairly unique - pmb Nov 11, 13:45 2
      - this loser doesn't have any chance of winning *right*....right? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 11, 13:48 1
        
        He shouldn't win (and I don't think he will), but it's a fairly unique set of facts and arguments so there was no way a court would turn it down - pmb Nov 11, 14:09
- so at least another two weeks+ -- nm - Jovian Nov 11, 13:17

  - Why do you think they would keep their.. Ohh.. I see. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 11, 13:43
- I mean, if you're dumb enough to take them as a client, I guess that's what you get. I certainly wouldn't want to try to collect from them. -- nm - pmb Nov 11, 13:03 1
  - don't they normally get a retainer and draw their fees from that and stop when that money runs out? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 11, 13:50

  - I am sure I have seen something like this too on one of those HGTV shows about weird homes. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 11, 13:10
  - I'm not finding confirmation of this, so maybe I've got some misfiring neurons. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 12:52
The reason metaverse is a bad idea isn't because the concept is bad, it's because a megacorp is trying to make fetch happen. - Beryllium Nov 11, 12:36 1
- (The no pixel story and a story I saw about how pioneering SecondLife was got me thinking about the Meta BS) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 12:37

How I Met Your Father using ILM Virtual Stage to be in Brooklyn... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 11, 12:14 6

  - And caramel. -- nm - Qale Nov 11, 12:23
- Maybe they could bring that sassy voter fraud witness Melissa Carone in to testify her thoughts for some extra spice on the stand. -- nm - Max Nov 11, 11:44 2
  - I cant remember, was this the one who got farted on by Rudy or was that Jenna? -- nm - Jovian Nov 11, 12:28
