    - Also, the merrits of traditional light bulbs vs. compact florecents and torches. -- nm - Mop Aug 9, 21:54 4

        you've got to know. how. things. work. - Farmer Ted Aug 9, 20:43
Let's see if you're smarter/faster than FB. The fluorescent light in my kitchen only lights halfway about 2/3 of the time. - loosilu Aug 9, 20:06 11
- change the igniter" or what you call that little round thing somewhere in the lights socktes -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 10, 02:25
- It's possible that you have a bad ballast. More likely that you have a bad socket. You know the tubes in the bathroom - TWuG Aug 9, 20:11 4
  - it's a pair of bulbs. they're working together. I don't think it's a bad bulb or they'd be flickering independently, right? - loosilu Aug 9, 20:13 3
    - No, one bulb can cause problems with both. It's a circuit thing. - TWuG Aug 9, 20:28 2
      - I noticed that removing one of them made both go out, so I switched them. no difference. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 20:29 1
        
        Definitely, one bulb will affect both. If you put the bathroom bulbs in that fixture and have the same problem, it's probably the ballast. -- nm - TWuG Aug 9, 21:12
- so either its a bad bulb, or you didnt get it connected properly. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 9, 20:08 1
  - I thought about the connection and redid it about 5 times. no help. Maybe it is a bad bulb. - loosilu Aug 9, 20:09
- So you're getting 1/6 the light? -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 20:07 2
  - it's hard to tell, since the flickering is giving me seizures. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 20:08
  - math fail - 1/3. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 20:07
well, that was an interesting way to end the football game -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Aug 9, 20:02 1
- Billy Cole pulled out a gun and shot his way into the endzone on the final play? -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 9, 20:03
however else the rest of the movie is, i like Inglorious Basterds for bringing back the short-A "Nat-zi" pronounciation -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 9, 19:52

Trivia for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (No spoilers) - amoxy Aug 9, 19:20 13
- Didn't Spielberg want this as well? But disagreed with Rowling 'cuz he wanted to combine certain books into one movie? -- nm - Buzz Aug 9, 20:05

  - Harry realizes he's been dead the whole time! -- nm - M. Night Shamalamadingdong Aug 9, 19:32 4

- eh, at this point, these movies are on autopilot. it doesn't really matter who directs them -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 9, 19:21 5
  - Disagreed. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 19:45 4
    - of the three or four i've seen, they all look and feel the same no matter who the director has been -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 9, 19:47 3
      - I'd disagree - #1 is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, #2 not much better. Both directed by Chris Columbus. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 9, 20:02 1
        
        maybe that's why i stopped watching them in the theaters after #2 -- nm - Farmer Ted Aug 9, 20:05
      - Some have been good, some have been bad, largely due to the director. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 19:48
Paraphrasing, anyone who can't make money on The Iron Giant needs to get out of the moneymaking business. -- nm - David Aug 9, 19:11 1

there's nothing in the movie to tie Sound of Music to Easter but that's when it gets played on TV every year - Farmer Ted Aug 9, 19:06 1
