- ... but it's Johnny Depp. For him to look "odd" would be what other people count as "normal" ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 11:28 7
  - Yeah, I'm trying to figure out if it's different from normal. HE's doing a great job. Very believable. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 11:37 6
    - Does it normally take him 3 minutes to get out one sentence? I feel like it is. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 11:38 5
      - Without being fed lines through his earpiece? Sounds about right. -- nm - znufrii Apr 19, 11:51 4
        
        He gets fed music through his earpiece. That's what his sound engineer said. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 12:02 3

    - Do ships have transponders so they can be found anywhere? I assume it's not as easy as finding planes on radar. - Max Apr 19, 11:06 2
      - Yes, there's a system called AIS so ships know what other ships are in their local area, and AIS signals can be tracked via satellite - Roger More Apr 19, 11:18
      - Your IM is basically it. A bunch of yachts left for Turkey and the UAE at the beginning of this because they tend to look the other way. - spamlet Apr 19, 11:09
    - I’m assuming a lot of it is due to leaks of ownership information of shell companies, etc. (Panama Papers and suchlike) -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 19, 11:00
  - There’s a lot of things that would have needed to have already happened to be able to shut all of this down right away. - znufrii Apr 19, 10:51 1
    - The entire shipping industry is multi layered obfuscation, flagged here, owned purportedly there, operated by another, insured from another -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 19, 11:14

- when you're on mushrooms, it's just right (i hear) -- nm - colin Apr 19, 11:14
- For me, not at all. -- nm - pmb Apr 19, 10:49
- At least 20 minutes too long, likely 30. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 10:34 3
  - how do you even prep snacks for "30 minutes too long"? -- nm - amanda Apr 19, 10:40 2

DTL: My next game is against an interim team that isn't running Normal/Normal/Normal. Don't think I've ever seen that. -- nm - Baruno Apr 19, 10:24 2

  - It's been 5 seasons since they've been actively managed so I think it's new. -- nm - Baruno Apr 19, 10:27
I love Paul Thomas Anderson but Licorice Pizza is just bad. Even if you take away the creepy age difference, the story just isn't interesting. -- nm - Inigo Apr 19, 10:24 26

- Yeah, I felt about this how some of you feel about Northman. - Spawn Apr 19, 11:09 1
  - Unless Nicole Kidman does some drugged out interpretive dance, it's bound to be a noisy disappointment for me. -- nm - Max Apr 19, 11:24
- It's one of those movies that means something to a very few, and nothing but atmosphere to the rest. -- nm - Max Apr 19, 11:00 1
  - I'm one of those very few. That won't surprise anyone. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 19, 11:15
- As much as I disliked the movie, Cooper Hoffman is amazing. He definitely has his father's screen presence. - Inigo Apr 19, 10:41 1
  - That I agree with. That kid is going to go places. -- nm - spamlet Apr 19, 10:53
- PTA is hit or miss for me, but I loved Licorice Pizza -- nm - Guigue Apr 19, 10:37 1
  - I could easily be convinced that his process is to ... - Beryllium Apr 19, 10:40
- I cannot fathom how it got a screenplay nom. It was bad. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 10:28 8
  - Honestly I don’t understand how he got it with such a hugely problematic element played without real acknowledgement. -- nm - pmb Apr 19, 10:31 7
    - People still don’t see an issue with older female/younger male. - spamlet Apr 19, 10:38 2

        a TV show last year showed the results of this on the boy (A Teacher I think it was called), my wife really liked it -- nm - Beaker Apr 19, 10:57
    - RIGHT? I honestly was like looking around thinking "I can't be the only one seeing this!" -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 10:34 3
      - Seriously the whole movie I constantly kept turning to my wife and saying “how is this ok?” I’m actually sort of surprised Alana Haim took the role, - pmb Apr 19, 10:41 2
        
        *Nods* I questioned why she'd take the role too -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 10:52 1
        
        When I looked at the credits and saw her parents were in the dinner scene I thought "oh, that makes sense." -- nm - Max Apr 19, 11:06
- I have zero interest in this movie and normally I really like his stuff. -- nm - Diva Apr 19, 10:27 2
  - I hadn't given any thought whatsoever to whether or not I would want to watch it. - Beryllium Apr 19, 10:30
  - ditto. -- nm - Andie Apr 19, 10:28
- I don’t love PTA but thought Licorice Pizza was fine. - spamlet Apr 19, 10:27

  - Looks like pmb did. -- (link) - Inigo Apr 19, 10:26 [Backboard] 1
    - Yeah it was me. The age issue was creepy and constantly took me out of the movie. I don’t understand the point of it or why it hasn’t received more - pmb Apr 19, 10:30
  - I think so (and incorrect both) -- nm - mud Apr 19, 10:26

- Probably something like "Seasons 2-9 are the strongest seasons of the Simpsons" or "the food at Applebee's is mediocre" -- nm - Roger More Apr 19, 10:55 2
  - The food at Applebees *is* mediocre. -- nm - David Apr 19, 10:55 1
    - Applebee's don't care, they have Survivor money now -- nm - Beaker Apr 19, 11:28
- I have this picture saved for some reason. It seems appropriate based on discussion the past few boards. -- (pic) - Dano Apr 19, 10:26 [Attachment] 1
  - heh, for some reason -- nm - mud Apr 19, 10:27
- So you don't know why you ruined my credit? -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 10:23 1

    - Nope. -- nm - David Apr 19, 10:06 1
      - Non sequitur non sequitur: The plural should be non sequuntur, especially if you're William Safire. -- nm - Baruno Apr 19, 10:25
LIR Re: The Northman - there’s a naked swordfight on top of an erupting volcano in this thing so...yeah, that's for me. -- nm - Diva Apr 19, 09:58 1

Spawn, you lost me with the Dr. Pepper comment. - sycor Apr 19, 09:55 3
