It can't be that bad, right? (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 16:11 3

- Wait... can a friend who already owns an iPhone buy the $99 at Apple.com, activate it, then go back to his old phone? -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 15:47
Piven and Shane (Hurricane!) Helms backstage at Raw... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 3, 15:38

- Just throw all your troops at the biggest city you can find, for gits and shiggles. - musubi Aug 3, 16:03 1
  - Should I send him after the guy whose spy was just caught and talked? - the liioulu with pie and shelf Aug 3, 16:11

Ryan O'Neal is a PR whore, and I'm happy to oblige. Admits to hitting on Tatum (his daughter!) at Farrah's funeral. -- (link) - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 15:04 8
- Redmond is his son? who knew? -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:30
- Man, that piece is ... comprehensively harsh. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 3, 15:27
- speaking of tatum o'neal, growing up I wanted her and kristy mcnichol to help me make a dogbert sandwich -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 15:12 4
  - With the additional star power of Hamill, I thought The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia was going to play in reruns on HBO forever. - Max Aug 3, 15:22
  - How many times did you watch Little Darlings? -- nm - pmb Aug 3, 15:19 2
    - surprisingly only twice iirc -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 15:28
    - and then rewind it and watch it again? -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 15:20

- all of us - Epiphany Aug 3, 15:24 2
  - haha - definitely thought of you while watching it. - Guy Aug 3, 15:26 1
    - hee - that one scene was quite scandalous in it's day. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 3, 15:29
Movie related: I quoted "No time for love, Dr. Jones" to a gaming companion over the weekend and they asked what that meant. I told them and they said - Qale Aug 3, 15:02 6
- in the companions defense: first I believe you quoted backwards. second it's temple of doom, would be much worse if it was raiders -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 15:07 5
  - Technically, I was quoting Randal Graves from "Clerks" -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 15:09 3
    - ah, then I'm just completely wrong -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 15:14 1
      - I should ask him if he saw Paul Blart. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 15:19
    - ah, yes -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 15:09
  - Dr. Jones, no time for love. We got company! -- nm - CQ Aug 3, 15:08
Sometimes, there's days where you just don't have enough ships for all the inactives, and then there's days like today. -- nm - Mop (still 235lbs... on a good day) Aug 3, 15:01
I'm gonna say something now that is not gonna go over all that well with TT: I didn't like The Big Lebowski all that much. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 14:58 44
- I just watched Barton Fink, what a nice surprise! Awesome movie -- nm - Guigue Aug 3, 15:52
- It does the usual Coen Brothers Growing On you thing... - Mel Profit Aug 3, 15:37
- 1 star - Cuzzin Todd Aug 3, 15:30
- yeah, it was so-so. and burn after reading was *awful*. not 1 funny moment. painful. {nm} - Banzai! Aug 3, 15:02 27
  - Frak. I just picked up Burn After Reading on DVD. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 15:03 16
    - Even I think that is too much -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 15:06 1
      - i liked it enough to buy it used -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:08
    - I was hugely disappointed. nm - Dignan Aug 3, 15:05 1
      - Dammit. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 16:04
    - Quick! Return it before removing the shrink wrap! My tastes are...different. Others have enjoyed it. ymmv, I am sure {nm} - Banzai! Aug 3, 15:05 11
      - I wouldn't have bought burn after reading, I know that much. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 3, 15:07 10
        
        Hear that, 'bubes? This is a dude who watches Air Wolf without irony, and he hated it. nm - Dignan Aug 3, 15:10 8
        
        I didn't buy Airwolf, either. And even then, I only zipped the ones with the original cast -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 3, 15:15 1
        
        "That was only twice, and I had it coming." -- nm - Max Aug 3, 15:20
        
        is it just that you all hate Brad Pitt? - Guy Aug 3, 15:14 5
        
        I like Pitt a lot, but he tried way too hard in this. nm - Dignan Aug 3, 15:17 2
        
        I concur. The more I see of Inglorious Basterds the more I think he's hamming it up there too, unfortunately. - Max Aug 3, 15:19 1
        
        He looks dreadfully miscast. Related: I think Clooney's voice is totally distracting in the Fantastic Mr. Fox trailer. nm - Dignan Aug 3, 15:24
        
        I liked the cast, and JK Simmons obvie rules. The story just seemed clunky and blah. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Aug 3, 15:17 1
        
        you people and your need for succinct plots - Guy Aug 3, 15:21
        
        (shhh, I'm trying to make him feel better for throwing away $10;) {nm} - Banzai! Aug 3, 15:09
  - note to self: don't take movie advice from Banzai -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:02 9
    - There I think I just friended you. Check my profile and see if your theory holds true :) {nm} - Banzai! Aug 3, 15:03 3
      - i like about 10 of your 17 favorites -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:10 2
        
        So you've got a little better than a 50/50 shot on following my movie picks, except... - Banzai! Aug 3, 15:12 1
        
        yeah, you have to figure with anyone's favorites that a good chunk of them will be more or less universally loved -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:14
    - He sounds on the money to me. -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 15:03 4
      - BAF wasn't my favorite Coen movie, but how could you not laugh once? -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:04 3
        
        should be BAR -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:06
        
        There wasn't anything funny in it. Complete p.o.s. -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 15:06 1
        
        Everything JK Simmons does is funny! -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 15:12
- "Vhat is this?" "Clearly you're not a golfer." -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 15:01
- I had the same experience as you with both films. And I list the Coen Bros. as among my favorite filmmakres -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 15:01
- I'm with 'bubes. nm - Dignan Aug 3, 15:00 3
  - pubes? -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 15:01
  - bewbs? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 15:00 1
    - Dignan thinks those are overated. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 15:02
- I've never seen it, and I'm not compelled to bump it up my queue. -- nm - Max Aug 3, 14:59
- Coen films have the unique ability to have *COMPLETELY* different target demographics from film to film. - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:59
- I hate the Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:58 4
  - hate? I could see not liking it (well, I can't really see that, but I suppose it's somehow possible), but hate? -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 15:01 1
    - yes. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 15:03
  - You are truly the devil's handmaiden. -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 15:00
  - Neither of those movies has the TT-love that Lebowski has. (nm) - musubi Aug 3, 14:59
ive not gotten a damn thing done all day today -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 14:57
NBC Sports' Tom Curran reports that the NFL has upheld Marshawn Lynch's three-game suspension, despite Lynch's May appeal. - nubby in NC Aug 3, 14:52
i was really hoping there'd be a multi-thread debate over grammar and punctuation today. -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 14:51 4
- more like, I'm having a moment that makes me think I don't speak English. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:51 3
  - that's me every time I use a keyboard - dogbert183 Aug 3, 14:54 2
    - we think the same thing every time you use a keyboard. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:55 1
      - it would be difficult not to -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 14:56
Florida highrise has 32 stories, but just 1 tenant - David Aug 3, 14:45 8
- Jeepers. I know of a development of houses that were going for 375 (450 odd in dollars) and today are being let off at 100K. -- nm - Loyola Aug 3, 14:51
- We could move all of ST in and own the place. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 14:50 4
  - *buys every other unit* -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:55 1
    - *buys timeshare to drop by every few days* -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 14:57
  - *blink* -- nm - nubby in NC Aug 3, 14:51 1
    - Dibs on ground floor level! -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 14:54
- I want to move into a unit 10 floors above them and then call the cops on them to keep the noise down -- nm - dogbert183 Aug 3, 14:49 1
  - It's florida - now that the story is out, this will probably happen. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:58
"Kick-Ass Kicks Off" leaks out -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:42 26
- "Kick Ass" begins the leaks to YouTube. -- nm - nubby in NC Aug 3, 14:48
- Too much kick, not enough ass. -- nm - David Aug 3, 14:46 12
  - loved the use of the other super hero themes in the clips -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 14:47 11
    - I haven't looked yet. It's the Wanted guy, so I have zero interest. -- nm - David Aug 3, 14:49 10
      - did you hate the Wanted movie or the books? because the books were great -- nm - Guy Aug 3, 14:51 7
        
        I hadn't both. They were misogynistic, racist garbage. -- nm - David Aug 3, 14:54 6
        
        huh. I didn't get that at all. -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 15:05 5
        
        the misogynistic part probably just seemed sensible to you. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 15:06 1
        
        well of course! - Remlik Aug 3, 15:08
        
        "Your boss. Your female, African-American boss." -- nm - David Aug 3, 15:06 2
        
        its a book about cold-blooded assasins, why would THAT offend you? - Guy Aug 3, 15:11 1
        
        First of all, he's not at that point. Second of all, why does the race/sex of the boss matter enough to be mentioned? - David Aug 3, 15:19
      - writer yes. director now. But it also the writer of Superman Red Son, Punisher Max series, Wolverine Enemy of the State, Ultimates 1 & 2 and Authority - Remlik Aug 3, 14:50 1
        
        Out of that, I've read Ultimates and it was meh. -- nm - David Aug 3, 14:55
- there's a missing comma, right? -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:44 11
  - I dunno. Think of Kick-Ass Kicks Off as a single proper noun. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:45 10
    - but, the "kicks" is plural. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:48 2
      - have you never heard of an event (in this case a movie) that Kicks Off? -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 14:49 1
        
        of course! I just want a damn comma in there. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:50
    - (and then think of "leaks out" as "leaked" or "hits the web") -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:46 6
      - there has to be a missing comma after "off". -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:48 5
        
        there may well be; I'm just saying that the basic structure of the sentence is the same as "X-Men 3 Leaks Out" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:54 4
        
        *ahem* The actual example would be "Wolverine Leaks Out"; I never saw it, yet I associate it with the same "quality" as X-Men3. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:55 3
        
        so it would be "Wolverine Kicks off, Leaks Out" -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 14:56 2
        
        it should be..."Wolverine Kick Off, leaks out" -- nm - Remlik Aug 3, 14:59 1
        
        THAT'S what I wanted to know. thank you. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 15:00
from backboards: I'm not quite sure what Burn After Reading was when it was all over, but boy did I laugh my ass off throughout the whole thing. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 14:41 4
- I was amused in parts, puzzled in others. Overall, I didn't enjoy the whole thing, but it was ten times more enjoyable for me than NCFOM. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:43 3
  - You know, Oh Brother... really made me feel the same way. I was like, what the heck but then laughing lots. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 14:46 2
    - In a similar vein ... love The Big Lebowski, detest Ladykillers. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:47 1
      - (Although, these days, I could probably re-watch Ladykillers and like it a bit more. It had some pretty quirky characters.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:47
