what have I gotten myself into? for those of you who care, my program is called the DDP and we rotate campuses periodically. - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 13, 08:49 6
- Her response was positive. You're reading too much into it for a single sentence. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 08:51
- She might think you are trying to pick her up and want to check you out first. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 08:51
- she's coming onto you. "or something" always means sex. -- nm - mafic Jul 13, 08:51 1
  - Yup. All depends on how lunch goes. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 08:51
- She might not drink (that's how I would reply, for what it's worth, since I don't). -- nm - Callisto Jul 13, 08:50
- *Diamond Cutter* -- nm - DDP Jul 13, 08:49
Traveling was a huge pain yesterday. *Hours* of waiting, got patted down, almost missed boarding, more sitting around. Didn't get home til 1am. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 08:48
Tweet from a librarian attending a conference: "Just called down to hotel desk on an allergic hunch. Why yes, your pillows have feathers in them!" - mara Jul 13, 08:45 5
- why would the hotel do this anyway? "why yes, all our meals are cooked in peanut oil" -- nm - Max Jul 13, 08:47 3
  - cheap is good -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 08:49 1
    - I just figured foam was cheaper. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 08:49
  - cause seagull feathers come cheap and make for great pillows -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 08:48
- As someone that brings his pillow with him, yes. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 08:47
znu - do you wear weirdly tight shirts or something? -- nm - Andie Jul 13, 08:45 1
- not at all. - znufrii Jul 13, 08:46
"All locations are in the US, except one in Puerto Rico" - ty97 Jul 13, 08:45 5
- Isn't it technically a protectorate or something, not a state? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 08:47 4
  - It's not a state, it's a territory -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 08:48 3
    - [deleted]
    - oh, like the yukon/nwt/nunavut? Hmm. Those are still considered part of "Canada", but Canada is ... assembled in a different way than the US. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 08:48 1
      - not exactly, but that's actually not a bad approximation. -- nm - mafic Jul 13, 08:49
Become a fan of Suckerpunching Seth Green :) -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 13, 08:41
ST Poll: Here's a list of (sort of obscure) movies. Do you see any that I should queue up or that you love and want to recommend? - con_carne Jul 13, 08:40 29 1
- Several of those movies are mainstream movies. Here's some thoughts . . . - pmb Jul 13, 09:11
- I have a soft spot for Death on the Nile and Same Time Next Year. -- nm - Callisto Jul 13, 08:51
- The Fourth Man is my favorite Paul Verhoeven film, so much symbolism and imagery that it takes multiple viewings to catch everything -- nm - ceregon Jul 13, 08:51
- Fitcarraldo, Das Boot, The Harder they Come, 3 Women, The Rules of the Game. I *really* like 3 Women, but it's definitely not for everyone. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 13, 08:51
- If you're going to see a Fellini film, see 8 1/2 -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 08:48 4
  - Noted -- nm - con_carne Jul 13, 08:50 3
    - If it's your first Fellini, I would start with La Strada or Nights of Cabiria. 8 1/2 is not... accessible -- nm - Roger More Jul 13, 08:51 2
      - It's the only film in which his self-indulgence as a filmmaker actually makes sense, imho. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 08:52 1
        
        This is certainly true :) But not many people watch movies for the director's self-indulgence - Roger More Jul 13, 08:55
- comments inside - Roger More Jul 13, 08:48 3
  - Oh, I missed the 400 Blows - you have to see this, I think it is one of the best films I have ever seen -- nm - Roger More Jul 13, 08:49 2
    - I watched 99% of this after I DVR'd it from IFC one day, but the last 5 minutes cut off. To this day I don't know what happened. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 08:50 1
      - There might only be like 5 worse films to miss the last 5 minutes of. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 08:51
- Same Time Next Year, if you never saw it on stage. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 08:44 2
  - As for your aready list, Marathon Man and Silver Streak are great. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 08:45 1
    - As is Dog Day Afternoon. Saw that on the big screen when it came out. - Spawn Jul 13, 08:46
- Emmanuelle is classic smut. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 08:44 2
  - I'm not sure if this is an endorsement or not. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 08:45 1
    - it's pritty good but soft porn like - Danedukenuuk Jul 13, 09:03
- Oh, I've seen Turkish Delight ... I thought it was interesting. Kind of haunting, in a way. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 08:44
- Is Das Boot the famous one? Haven't seen it if so but have only heard amazing things -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 08:44 4
  - The one listed here is different from the famous one (both are dir. by Wolfgang Petersen, IIRC) -- nm - con_carne Jul 13, 08:45 3
    - it's more like the original movie plus a bunch of other stuff that initially got cut. -- nm - mafic Jul 13, 08:48 1
      - Oh, hm. Good to know. Thx. -- nm - con_carne Jul 13, 08:49
    - There are several cuts of the film. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 08:46
- Looking for Mr. Goodbar is supposedly good, but I've never seen it. - JaxSean Jul 13, 08:43
- Three Musketeers is a must-see, IMO -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 08:42 1
  - oh, wait, I confused it with the oliver platt one -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 08:43
- I like the Three Musketeers with Keifer Sutherland and Chris O'Donnell (1993) -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 08:42
Cold, stale reason for hating Comcast: Sucky customer service. Hot, new reason for hating Comcast: The Shaq/Ben Stein commercials. - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 13, 08:36 2
- I may have to stop ever listening to a 3 Doors Down song ever again because one was used in a Geico Caveman commercial. - JaxSean Jul 13, 08:44 1
  - Funny, I stopped listening to 3 Doors Down because I realized it was depressing me. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 08:44
I hate today. Hate it. I want something fun to happen to distract me. Maybe Seth Green will actually be awesome on Raw tonight or something. - TFox Jul 13, 08:35 2
- Seth Green? He's gonna get his ass kicked. He's like 2 feet tall! It's like when they used to get midgets to wrestle pros! -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 13, 08:37

    - What are the much buy items from Tim Horton's? -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 08:37 14
      - All suggestions noted and I'll make a trip there later today or tomorrow morning. I never heard of them until Kevin Smith mentioned them in - Krusty Jul 13, 08:48 1
        
        I lived off TimBits when I was in Toronto. -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 13, 08:49
      - this may be some kind of low-grade treason, but I don't think there's anything there I couldn't live without. -- nm - mafic Jul 13, 08:42 4
        
        agreed -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 08:47 1
        
        I probably go there 3 times a month on average. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 08:48
        
        Yeah. It's cheap and fast and decent, but I'm not all ga-ga about it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 08:43
