nm -- meant this below -- (edited) - Baruno May 9, 07:10
Avatar trailer -- (link) - budice May 9, 07:04 44
- Reminder: Avatar 2 now has Disney behind it, which is huge. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:47
- looks amazing -- nm - Beaker May 9, 07:33 4
  - I agree -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 07:51
  - At my showings I heard, "Hopefully it will be better than that." and, "Maybe not." which made me laugh out loud. -- nm - Spawn May 9, 07:46
  - I always knew you were James Cameron. -- nm - Reagen May 9, 07:34 1
    - the rides at Animal Kingdom are also awesome -- nm - Beaker May 9, 07:36
- I saw this before Dr Strange and thought that's a cool looking video game -- nm - eag May 9, 07:28 4
  - I had planned to arrive late for my second showing so I would miss but decided it was worth it to see the Top Gun clip again. That movie is 312.50. -- nm - Spawn May 9, 07:30 3
    - That TG clip really didn't do anything for me -- nm - eag May 9, 07:40 2
      - same. plus aren't fighters now essentially not supposed to get closer than like 5 miles away from each other? - Beaker May 9, 07:41 1
        
        Guess that is why they need Maverick to teach them. -- nm - Spawn May 9, 07:43
- Water World 2.0 -- nm - Spawn May 9, 07:27
- Did they ever confirm the final budget for these 2 sequels. Wasn't it something like $1B? -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:27 4
  - 250/250/250/250 for the 4. -- nm - Will Hunting May 9, 07:32 3
    - Thanks! But 4/5 aren't greenlit yet I believe, planned, not greenlit/filmed. -- nm* - MDH May 9, 07:36 2
      - They’re 1/3 done #4 according to the producer. - Will Hunting May 9, 07:39 1
        
        Oh interesting. I was reading and they seemed to be pulling the whole "only if 2/3 make money" - MDH May 9, 07:44
- Give us a 4k remaster of the first one dammit!! -- nm - Shaun May 9, 07:26 6
  - Remastered re-release coming to theaters September 23, 2022. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:28 5
    - Put it on Disney+ you cowards! -- nm - Shaun May 9, 07:31 3
      - Why on earth would they do that? You remaster Avatar, you charge people to see it on a big screen. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:45 1
        
        Because my theatre sucks and my TV from 2016 is way better. -- nm - Shaun May 9, 07:46
      - Sadly, James learned from George. -- nm - Spawn May 9, 07:38
    - lol. My birthday weekend. -- nm - Spawn May 9, 07:29
- If they give me a flying attack dolphin ripping toward me in 3-D, fuck yeah. - Will Hunting May 9, 07:26 5
  - Still the only movie ever worth seeing in 3D. -- nm* - Shaun May 9, 07:27 4
    - Gravity and Step Up 3D -- nm - Dano May 9, 07:35
    - Yup. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:32
    - yup -- nm - Beaker May 9, 07:31
    - Yep. I love 2009 for the two main Oscar films. This and Hurt Locker. - Will Hunting May 9, 07:29
- As the first one. amazing visuals...the story is meh. -- nm - Walt_Disney May 9, 07:19
- I am not the target audience. - Baruno May 9, 07:16 9
  - Yeah the 13 year wait for a sequel to a movie that is completely unmemorable is just too long. I don't care. - Volnelk May 9, 07:19 5
    - I honestly can't remember a thing about the movie either. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:25 2
      - It was like a run-of-the-mill MMO. This is the DLC with underwater mechanics. (NM) - Marlowe May 9, 07:27 1
        
        This is sort of hysterical, and I might steal this. :-) -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:28
    - as my cousin use to say " I didn't have any unanswered questions" -- nm - St. Epiphany May 9, 07:22 1
      - word. -- nm - budice May 9, 07:24
  - Agreed on the IM. That said, I feel like none of us were the target audience of the first and yet everyone saw it. Never count Cameron out. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:19 2
    - Oh I've no doubt it'll make a mint esp. with that release date. -- nm - Baruno May 9, 07:21 1
      - Like the first, I'm not very interested, but I know I'll see in theaters. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:26
- Pass. -- nm - Inigo May 9, 07:14
- Those graphics, wow. -- nm - MDH May 9, 07:13
- Looks as good as the original. Meaning not at all. (NM) - Marlowe May 9, 07:11
Embarrassing confession I have to make that happened on the weekend...... - Walt_Disney May 9, 07:00
Whoa. Jokic is apparently going to win MVP. Not entirely shocking, but it is a little bit. -- nm - Volnelk May 9, 06:52 4
- He wins in every advanced category and played 10% more games. Embiid is great, Jokic was slightly better. -- nm - Will Hunting May 9, 07:22
- First player to get 2K points, 1000 rebounds, and 500 assists in a season. Didn’t have Murray or MPJ all season - Flavorize May 9, 06:59
- I'm curious to see the vote totals because it seemed like Embiid was getting a lot of hype for the award. -- nm - Krusty May 9, 06:58 1
  - Exactly. There was even a leak that league officials were attending a 76ers game and most people thought it was to give him the award. -- nm - Volnelk May 9, 07:13

Shit, DTL - sorry Spam and Baron … I forgot to approve the exhibitions … I’ll send scrimmages today. -- nm - Will Hunting May 9, 06:05 3
- I already sent scrims to you, dano, and rollo for the STI and rolled over the spreadsheet. No worries. - spamlet May 9, 07:31
- I forgot about them completely until, oh, about Friday of last week :D -- nm - Baruno May 9, 07:05
- I forgot too. I upgraded to medium for this season so I can request scrimmages for the STI. -- nm - Dano May 9, 06:39
McCain staffer unloads. Claims McCain compromised by Russia and by a long affair -- (link) - TWuG May 9, 06:00 8
- I lived in AZ when the Keating Five story broke. He had ties into the same structures he opposed in Campaign Reform. Being a Spokesman/Figurehead without reviewing details was not uncommon for him. -- nm* - budice May 9, 06:49
- Link to the NY Times article -- (link) - budice May 9, 06:27
- Wow, Schmidt's just letting it all out the last few days. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 9, 06:05 5

    - The title is "No books. No money. Just the truth." -- nm - Volnelk May 9, 07:16 1
      - LOL, my not-clicking-through is showing. -- nm - Baruno May 9, 07:46
  - Interesting stuff. I read a mention that he went well over 24 hours straight with no more than an hour or so between tweets. That's a lot of coffee - zunk xometimes May 9, 06:42
  - *Adam Sandler things that would have useful YESTERDAY.gif* -- nm - Reagen May 9, 06:38

A little Wordle controversy. Apparently the randomly selected word for today was......spoiler. It was changed. - Volnelk May 9, 05:42 2
- that word comes up in the other games - Andie May 9, 05:57 1
  - They probably just didn't want to get accused of interjecting political opinion into a game. -- nm - Volnelk May 9, 06:32
