From bb's, speaking of intense movies, (though there's blood), I always thought Michael Mann's Manhunter. - pmb Jul 22, 14:06 4
- The only film that's had any emotional effect after the credits roled was Saving Private Ryan - TWuG Jul 22, 14:09 2
  - agreed on all counts. - Mel Profit Jul 22, 14:16
  - the opening sequence is hard to overstate. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:11
- Left off some words there. I thought Manhunter was one of the most intense movies I've ever seen. -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 14:07
LYC: CC Battle Royale update: still going. FistK deadbeated out though so one less (game 1000001) -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:05
I love that my geo-targeted ads - everywhere I go - are for Clearwire's Portland service (clear.com/portland). - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 22, 14:04
Does Michael Jackson have a 25 year old love child raised in Norway? *maybe*! -- (link) - Andie Jul 22, 14:03 13
- What a weird, fucked up trail Jackson did blaze. -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 14:08 2
  - agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 22, 14:10 1
    - It's a combination of sad and pathetic. - TWuG Jul 22, 14:13
- Billie Jean Schjelderup? -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 14:06
- He does look Jacksonesque. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:05 7
  - The weird part is he looks like Jackson after the plastic surgeries. - pmb Jul 22, 14:09 6
    - That's the Norwegian in him. Maybe Jackson wasn't trying to stop looking like his Dad but more like his son? -- nm - TWuG Jul 22, 14:11 1
      - maybe he likes blonde women. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:11
    - his mother is Norwegian. Think about what look was MJ going for. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:10 2
      - Diana Ross? -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 14:12 1
        
        She had quite a bit of surgery herself, I think. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:13
    - Lamarck was right! -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:10
- OMG!!! -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:04

- I don't get what the big deal is. I mean it's not like this was just some guy off the street in a pick-up game. - Stephen Jul 22, 14:07
- wow. all that fuss over this? - Guy Jul 22, 14:03
- so he's not some sort of super-human, so what? I'm sure one or two STers could pull the same thing off. - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:02 16
  - can any STers dunk? not me. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:03 15
    - I have no vertical leap. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:12
    - I have. I don't think I could now. - Reagen Jul 22, 14:09
    - jack, me, mara. sometimes redmond. oh wait. *dunk.* not *drunk.* oops. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:08 5
      - you know you are an experienced drinker when you call it: "Yeah, I can drunk!" -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:09 1
        
        "Two-fisted reverse drunk!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:10
      - HK should be on that list. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:09 2
        
        Dawson has been a bad influence on her. -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 14:16 1
        
        nah, she was a lushy long before she met him. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:19
    - It's a miracle any time I can make a basket. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:07
    - I can dunk a volleyball. I can't palm a basketball to bring it up to the rim. - Krusty Jul 22, 14:06 3
      - In my youth I was the same. I could get up there, but couldn't palm a basketball. -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 14:08 1
        
        If my hands were touch larger I'd be able to palm it, it pops out when I'm going up to the rim. - Krusty Jul 22, 14:12
      - The worst is that I get close a lot and end up getting rejected by the rim and looking really stupid. -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 14:07
    - Some STers look *down* on the hoop. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 14:03
    - [deleted]
- That wasn't bad. They never should have made anything out of it. - Krusty Jul 22, 14:02 9
  - I was expecting him to get totally posterized. Balls in the face and the whole nine. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:03 8
    - word. Their overreaction makes them look small and petty -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:03 3
      - them being Lebron and Nike -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 14:04 2
        
        What was their reaction? -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 14:11 1
        
        Nike grabbed all the tapes they saw and were refusing to release the video. - Krusty Jul 22, 14:15
    - ditto -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 14:03 3
      - I thought it was going to be Rucker Park summer league bad. He barely dunked on him. -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 14:05 2
        
        I wanted to watch it while making the Chappelle Street Hoops skit sound effect. - TFox Jul 22, 14:07 1
        
        *laughing* -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 14:07
- I honestly don't care a bit about what's on the film, but the fact that there was an effort to supress it makes it must-watch. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 22, 14:01
- seriously, that's it? dumb. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 14:00 1

ST Poll -- best meal you've had recently that someone else has cooked for you? - znufrii Jul 22, 13:56 24
- This question makes me sad. I can't think of an answer. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 22, 14:13
- Kim made a delicious steak the other day. I wish I could cook more for her, but her stuff is...foreign to me. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:11 2
  - Vegetables? -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 14:12
  - "Ore-gah-no?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 14:11
- Um, yeah. The tacos I posted about yesterday. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 14:05
- Sushi for lunch yesterday -- nm - Stephen Jul 22, 14:03 9
  - Is sushi "cooked"? - znufrii Jul 22, 14:04 8
    - cooked, prepared... - Stephen Jul 22, 14:10
    - and the rice is cooked. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:05 5
      - fine. - znufrii Jul 22, 14:06 4
        
        if it was salad from a sack, I wouldn't accept that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:08 3
        
        because salad isn't "cooked" -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:10 2
        
        because it involves opening a sack, and no more. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:12 1
        
        it also doesn't involve applying heat to food to prepare it for eating. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:14
    - it takes mucho prep, so it counts. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:05
- Meatballs last night. So good. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 14:03
- My friends make dinner for me every week. most recent: Grilled burgers made from local beef. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:02
- I haven't eaten homemade food since... oh my god. may 7th? and that was just a chicken in the chickenator. not like, food. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 13:59 2
  - oh. well... monday then. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:06
  - restaurants count as "someone else cooking for you", unless you're doing Korean BBQ every night. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 14:02
- stuffed salmon with, um, my mom's rice. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 13:58 1
  - oh, if restaurants count: local middle-eastern place last night. chicken kabob, veggie kabob, zucchini, and some baba ganoush with added sauces -- nm - b. Jul 22, 14:11
- Monday night: chicken soft tacos. -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 13:57 1
  - were they 99 cents? - groiny Jul 22, 13:57
But you don't understand, I haven't had Jimmy John's in so long, and the one *right here* just opened! -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 13:53 1
- oh, you should go. get something with that avocado stuff on it, mmmm. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 13:55
i pick Blair Witch as my 'scariest' as well. Event Horizon was terrible (but funny). Dark Crystal was great. -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 13:53 1
- I think I slept through bits in Event Horizon. *yawn* -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 22, 13:56

    - What. The. F*CK?! -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Jul 22, 14:00 2
      - dude, this ABCD is barely even weird. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:02
      - It's a star, but weird. Very. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 14:01
    - My father did that too for some reason. I found it very odd. -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 13:57
    - Is it private (like one person at a time?) Otherwise...yikes. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 13:56
    - That's very My So Called Life of him. -- nm - Inigo Jul 22, 13:56
    - Maybe he's... you know. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 13:55 5
      - a Mob Wars addict? -- nm - TFox Jul 22, 13:56 4
        
        No, silly. - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 13:57 3
        
        A hot tranny mess? -- nm - mara Jul 22, 13:59 2
        
        Quite literally. L4. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 22, 14:00 1
        
        yeah, I laughed out loud too. mara, you're funny today. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:01

The Onion is killing with their "sold to the Chinese" angle. - Guy Jul 22, 13:50
I added about seven movies to my queue today directly because of ST - con_carne Jul 22, 13:50 20
- (Skip Event Horizon and get Sunshine instead.) nm - Dignan Jul 22, 13:51 12
  - i wholeheartedly second this. i was suprised how much i liked it. - Guy Jul 22, 13:58
  - Event Horizon wasn't *that* bad people! - Stephen Jul 22, 13:54 2
    - it sucked dignan ass. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 13:55 1
      - I thought that was a compliment? -- nm - Subversive Jul 22, 14:02
  - Yes, but turn Sunshine off about 20 minutes before the end. -- nm - Inigo Jul 22, 13:52 7
    - yep. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 14:03
    - [deleted] 5
      - One of BOP's writers had a good take on this. In the end, a choice is made that alienates most but a passionate find inspired. -- nm - David Jul 22, 14:10
      - It turns a great, edge of your seat science fiction story into a slasher film. - Inigo Jul 22, 13:55 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        exactly -- nm - Guy Jul 22, 13:59
      - I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard (spoil-free spoils) - Roger More Jul 22, 13:54
- You must, or absolutely must not add Martyrs. nm - Dignan Jul 22, 13:51 4
  - should I? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 13:53 3
    - *No.* Werner Herzog himself couldn't warn you enough about this movie. nm - Dignan Jul 22, 13:57 2
      - I just got water up my nose. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 14:04
      - dude, I'm in a meeting. stop making me laugh. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 14:03
- You will ove Event Horizon. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 13:50 1
  - OK fine, eight :-) -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 13:51
I always wondered that about ipod vending machines, 97. maybe they're there more for like... advertising? -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 13:50 3
- This is a very good point. They do server as ads. And they don't need a high turnover of product to make money, either. - ty97 Jul 22, 13:55 2
  - if you figure that they really only need one of each live product, really, and that replenishment could be on-demand (you know those things are wired - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 22, 13:58 1
    - Brillaint. Now I'm kinda jealous of the smartie that came up with this. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 14:03
ahh, that's right, I'm in GSK-land. No wonder there's so much pharmacy school talk. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 13:48 6
