        And anything seized by the warrant can be used against him for other crimes. Chances he took incriminating documents? - TWuG Aug 8, 17:22 2
        
        with how passive Garland has been, there's got to be *something* big to this. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 17:25 1

ONJ adjacent. I watched Grease 2 this weekend and looked up the IMDB trivia while I was watching. Crazy fact (if true) - Volnelk Aug 8, 15:47 5
- The crazy thing is, the songs from Grease 2 are far superior to Grease. - Jovian Aug 8, 15:50 4
  - Your IM doesn’t change my opinion. I LOVE Olivia but I prefer Grease 2. It’s just a matter of timing. I saw Grease 2 dozens of times before Grease. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 8, 15:59 3
    - I... don't remember Grease 2. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 16:05 1

Toronto YYZ may be one of the worst airports I've ever been in. -- (edited) - JaxSean Aug 8, 15:16 18
- Not us anymore! Woo hoo!! -- nm - LGA si Aug 8, 16:10
- This is what I said! Sorry you are stuck. :( - Andie Aug 8, 16:09
- It depends on the terminal you are in and which part of the terminal you are in. -- (edited) - ty97 Aug 8, 15:28 10
  - are there biomes within the terminals? -- nm - Max Aug 8, 15:42
  - I haven't been there in like 7 years, but the non-US international terminal was solidly inoffensive. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 15:37 7
    - My experience has 99% been in whatever transborder area American Airlines uses. It was unimpressive but not offensive - ty97 Aug 8, 15:39 6
      - yeah, the added security makes running stuff in the US terminals a pain, they tend to be the worst. -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 15:42 1
        
        The worst was usually arriving internationally into YYZ. Overcrowded hall with slow lines. -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 15:43
      - I took AC once from YYZ-YYC (must be 10+ years ago now). That terminal at YYZ seemed fine. -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 15:41 3
        
        Miserable airport experiences: EWR - dirty bus terminal LAX - how can there be no food? BOS - Going to Canada? Here, wait in this closet - Reagen Aug 8, 15:46 2
        
        Heh. EWR has multiple different terminals. Some are less bad than others (you went out of A or B I figure based on your description). - ty97 Aug 8, 15:56 1
        
        (And yes your description of EWR Terminals A/B is 100% on point) -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 15:56
  - We're in terminal 1, F concourse. It's horrible. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 8, 15:31
- it's not even the worst airport in Toronto! -- nm - mafic Aug 8, 15:25 3
  - They want to get another one built in Pickering, and there's no good reason for Toronto not to have another large one. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 15:32
  - If you are speaking ill of City Island then we are fighting. -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 15:28 1
    - I love Billy Bishop. -- nm - Andie Aug 8, 16:10

  - Shouldn't heche's auto insurance cover this? -- nm - Ender Aug 8, 17:46 2

- Ha! We’re your kids around? - The Allfather Aug 8, 15:05 4
  - G was but I shut it down in time. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 15:08 3
    - (thought bubble - "How do I explain this to the kids?") -- nm - budice Aug 8, 15:14
    - Eek! That must have been like clipping the green wire. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 8, 15:10 1
      - "Why did you just kick your laptop through the window?" "There was a...rat on it." -- nm - Max Aug 8, 15:45

- Thats a Bingo -- nm - budice Aug 8, 14:49
- I just assumed it was the free square -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 14:48
- To prove they are taking this seriously, WB is gonna cancel Batgirl even more. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 8, 14:37 13
  - So I read that was actually about Affleck. They had to can the Batgirl movie because it brought Keaton back into the mix and they want Affleck instead - Volnelk Aug 8, 14:42 12
    - Yeah, you'd hate for them to break continuity in the DC universe. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 14:48 3
      - "Jeremy Irons is the new Robin" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 14:50 2

        "King Tut is BACK and played by Danny Huston" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 14:52
    - not true. that's Snyderbois thinking. I'm glad Affleck is back as I like his Batman, But I want Keaton as well. -- nm - Remlik Aug 8, 14:46
    - No. This was all about an $825 million tax write off. Batgirl is supposedly at least $90 million of that. - The Allfather Aug 8, 14:45 5
      - I will never understand that thinking. Every dollar earned is a dollar in your pocket (minus your tax rate on the dollar. Every dollar written off - pmb Aug 8, 14:52 3
        
        yup. like people complaining about taxes when they win the lottery -- nm - Beaker Aug 8, 15:04 2
        
        The only part I can't evaluate is how streaming plays into that. How do you show a "loss" if you stream it? Of course they could release - pmb Aug 8, 15:11 1
        
        so the public story (INATL, have no basis to judge the truth) is that Disco had a limited window to claim the "purchase accounting" writeoff at full - hollywood big shot Aug 8, 15:43
      - I see that they're still recording the score to the Scooby Doo movie... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 8, 14:50

If y'all want to know what just happened with HBO Max, listen to our podcast. -- (link) - David Aug 8, 14:02 3
- I so badly want someone “in the industry” to hear this. The reaction *must be* “FUCK, who are these guys?” -- nm - Mop Aug 8, 14:28
- hey, Mac! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 8, 14:07 1
  - Yeah, we'd already recorded when she emailed. So, it cracked me up. -- nm - David Aug 8, 14:12
So, i had ONJ playing via youtube at work, and it morphed and kept going till it got to Til Tuesday, Voices Carry - and, oddly, i get Lily James vibes - Andie Aug 8, 14:01 [youtube] 1
- I can see it. This morning I was listening to this 1986 concert. -- (link) - Max Aug 8, 14:28 [youtube]
Olivia Newton John will forever be the one. Man, I loved her. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 8, 14:00 4

Travolta -- (link) - budice Aug 8, 13:54 10
- i may seek out Twist of Fate this weekend, Grease will be everywhere, but Twist of Fate i only ever saw once a million years ago. -- nm - Andie Aug 8, 13:56 9
  - Isn’t Twist of Fate the song and Two of a Kind the movie? -- nm - Volnelk Aug 8, 15:34 1
    - apparently you are correct. Pretty clear which left a bigger impression on me. -- nm - Andie Aug 8, 16:58
  - I love twist of fate. -- nm - amanda Aug 8, 15:20
  - In a couple of days, we'll see charts about how much Grease listens went up after the announcement. I bet it's 10,000+ percent. -- nm - David Aug 8, 14:00 5
    - "Kate Bush sings ONJ's Greatest Hits" -- nm - budice Aug 8, 14:43 2
      - :-( -- nm - mud Aug 8, 15:32
      - Juliana Hatfield has a good ONJ covers album -- nm - Dano Aug 8, 14:50
    - Gonna show up on the British charts I bet -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 14:20
    - a billion percent. -- nm - Andie Aug 8, 14:02
I've played flash games. I have zero interest in playing modern reinventions of "flash games but with a tv remote control" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 13:53 3
- I don't think they're games you play on the TV (though Amazon has that via their Fire OS) -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 13:54 2
  - If true, that doubly points to the folly of their plan :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 13:55 1
    - (On the flip side, I do have to credit them for actually trying something risky like that.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 8, 13:56
Tell me about it, stud. -- nm - David Aug 8, 13:45 3
- It took a bunch of growing up on my part to appreciate that Sandy. I was so in love with the Sandy through singing the "Look at me" reprise sitting -- (edited) - JD Aug 8, 13:48 [youtube] 1
  - indeed -- nm - crash davis Aug 8, 15:07
