*Throws Up* after seeing this People of Walmart -- (link) - MDH Nov 19, 14:26 2
- The picture is fine, the caption is potentially NSFW -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 14:29 1
  - where are her nipples? -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 14:30
Police, Adjective trailer -- (link) - Dano Nov 19, 14:26
Just got turned down by my second of two pursued positions. -- nm - Hotkiss Nov 19, 14:25 2
- sorry. :/ -- nm - b. Nov 19, 14:30
- sorry, that is the suck. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 14:29
I find it telling that they barely show Miley Cyrus delivering dialog at all in the trailer for The Last Song -- (link) - Dano Nov 19, 14:22
The search function in Yahoo Mail hasn't worked for the past week. Anyone else having a problem. It does the search but always says nothing was found. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 19, 14:20 3
- Did you ask it nicely? - Spawn Nov 19, 14:21
- one of my sisters has been corresponding with them for a long time about that. as, apparently, have many others. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 19, 14:21 1
  - I see.. :( thanks. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 19, 14:25
Tasty gem from the Moron Boss: "We shouldn't be content to rest on our loins." -- nm - Dr.Vermin kept a straight face, somehow. Nov 19, 14:18 3
- Well, he's right, that might hurt. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 14:27
- What a moron. - Spawn Nov 19, 14:20
- good on ya. -- nm - b. Nov 19, 14:20
Jim, I feel for you. I was really surprised Lincecum won again - amoxy Nov 19, 14:18 9
- Wait, are you serious about that IM? Lincecum's 2009 *was* as good as (probably better than) his 2008. - musubi Nov 19, 14:22 2
  - it felt like it wasn't? - b. Nov 19, 14:26 1
    - Thanks B! I was trying to put this in words, but he did feel uneven this year - amoxy Nov 19, 14:31
- [deleted] 5
  - Yup. From a larger perspective, the Cards got 21 out of 28 first places votes, so they are the tandem Cy Young, even if Lincecum gets the trophy. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:27
  - I agree with this. I think it was Lincecum and Carp 1 and 1A, and Wainwright clearly below the two of them. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 14:26
  - That's the only thing I can think of, because I thought they both had a better year then Linceum - amoxy Nov 19, 14:22 2
    - No, they really didn't. Both have legit cases, but they didn't both have better years than Lincecum. - musubi Nov 19, 14:24 1
      - I was glad Vazquez got some votes. His performance deserved a better fate. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:27
another OMG from People of Walmart -- (link) - Zorkturi Nov 19, 14:13
Janky Promoters opens here this weekend. -- nm - Dano Nov 19, 14:09
The thing I've noted about New Moon: several female friends have just picked up the series and are hooked. - ty97 Nov 19, 14:07 2
- I think it's still expanding some, too. the books are still bestsellers. -- nm - b. Nov 19, 14:14 1
  - Are there more books to come? I thought there were only 4 -- nm - amoxy Nov 19, 14:24
Floods in Cumbria - November 2009 -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 14:04
Oh good. The Plaza has picked up Antichrist this weekend so I didn't miss it -- nm - Dano Nov 19, 14:04
I think I would go see Twilight this weekend if I could sit facing back and watch people instead -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 14:03 2
- I hate when people do that. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 14:03 1
  - Especially when they throw popcorn if the audience is boring -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 14:05
$115 million weekend really isn't that big anymore. It's slightly lower than the original Harry Potter's opening weekend adjusted for inflation. -- nm - Inigo Nov 19, 14:02 2
- I dunno. It's still pretty darn big. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:05 1
  - *skrt* *erp* ..... -- nm - Michael Scott Nov 19, 14:10
I feel like were on the HSX movie boards today - eag Nov 19, 14:00 4
- i actually still love when there's a movie opening that we can discuss like this. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 14:08 1
  - me, too. -- nm - b. Nov 19, 14:15
- then we should have nicks to match -- nm - Zorkturi Nov 19, 14:02
- ka-chow! -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 14:01
I'm almost afraid to ask, but what would the stakes of a Twilight opening weekend bet be? - Roger More Nov 19, 13:58 27
- Lewis Black had a great line about that last night on Craig Ferguson. He said, "I can think of a few things I'd rather do than see that Twilight - pmb Nov 19, 14:25
- loser has to actually watch the movie. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:03 13
  - Suddenly, the blood drinking seems like the polite choice. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:05 1
    - L3! - Epiphany Nov 19, 14:14
  - *ding* -- nm - Callisto Nov 19, 14:05
  - I'll probably see it eventually. Just not this weekend. -- nm - Dano Nov 19, 14:04 9
    - I saw the first via RiffTrax. I'd have been hard to survive otherwise. Not sure about New Moon. - Qale Nov 19, 14:08 8
      - I really think the first one is the worst movie I saw in 2008. -- nm - Callisto Nov 19, 14:09 7
        
        Movies I hated worse than Twilight in 2008 - Qale Nov 19, 14:17 2
        
        I (fortunately) only saw Cloverfield, Mummy 3 and Wanted out of those. - Callisto Nov 19, 14:18 1
        
        Thankfully going back over the list of releases for that year I was reminded of just how many good movies I saw. I haven't been in 2009 much. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:21
        
        i only saw it online, and i thought maybe it wasn't the final cut because it seemed so rough, but i asked someone and they assured me it was just like - Andie Nov 19, 14:11 3
        
        It was expected to be just like The Covenant, a cheap goth film with an MTV pedigree to earn a decent profit. - David Nov 19, 14:17 1
        
        BTW, Summitt deserves a ton of credit for the way they fanned the flames on Twilight. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:19
        
        I mean, the studio had no idea what they had on their hands. So yeah, it was rough. -- nm - Callisto Nov 19, 14:13
- coffee crisps for everyone on ST -- nm - peglegpete Nov 19, 14:02
- Loser has to destroy his Twilight memorabilia. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 14:01
- Winner gets to drink the loser's blood. -- nm - David Nov 19, 13:59 1
  - Don't B-Negative. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:02
- Loser has to watch ShutUpWomanGetOnMyHorse for four hours. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:59 4
  - Psha. I'm an ex-channer. That's easy peasy. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 14:01 3
    - plus, you like anime penes. Hmm. This is a good point. OK, you'd have to watch the Metal one. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:02 2
      - *sigh* - Qale Nov 19, 14:09 1
        
        aww :( that's too bad. hopefully you can find another funner project of some kind -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 14:11

NPR's 50 Most Important Recordings of the last decade has only one repeat artist. guess the artist. -- (link) - Max Nov 19, 13:55 25
- Barack Obama -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 19, 14:11
- There is a lot to like about that list. I'd quibble some stuff, but for trying to cover all bases, I like it. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 14:11 2
  - I'm glad they included a diverse set of musical genres - znufrii Nov 19, 14:13 1
    - and there's a whole bunch of stuff on there I wouldn't mind getting... -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:19
- Decemberists -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:06 2
  - Or maybe Radiohead. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 14:07 1
    - that too -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 14:14
- Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Springsteen. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 14:00 6
  - Radiohead is the answer, with In Rainbows and Kid A -- nm - Max Nov 19, 14:01 5
    - If OK Computer was within 10 years they would have put that on there, too. - JaxSean Nov 19, 14:04
    - If people aren't going to figure out how overrated Kid A is by now, it's never going to happen. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 14:02 3
      - Or maybe people are right and you are wrong. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 14:03 2
        
        No, he's right. No wait. Aw, fuck. - JaxSean Nov 19, 14:05
        
        like that happens. -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 14:05
- The White Stripes -- nm - TFox Nov 19, 13:58
- repeat artist? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 19, 13:57 4
  - There are 49 arists contributing to the list of recordings. One artist has two entries. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 13:58 2

i just checked online, apparently there is a *6:40am* screening here and it's sold out. - Elf Andie Nov 19, 13:52 7
- I just looked on Fandango and either they don't show any as sold out, or none of ours are in town. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 13:59
- Nothing sold out in Montreal for the next 2 days -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 13:58
- I count 47 sellouts between midnight and end of business on Friday here. -- nm - Callisto Nov 19, 13:57
- the AMC 24 in Whitby looks to have tickets still for 10 and 12 tonight. They have 22 showtimes listed for tomorrow -- nm - zork Nov 19, 13:55

it's a quarter after one, I'm all alone, and I need you now. -- nm - b. Nov 19, 13:51 5
- your new husband? -- nm - peglegpete Nov 19, 13:52 4
  - I remain husband-free. -- nm - b. Nov 19, 13:53 3
    - despite all the wonderful offers here yesterday afternoon :) -- nm - peglegpete Nov 19, 13:54 2
      - "wonderful" :) - (really, I adore Q., and would nab him in a hearbeat.) -- nm - b. Nov 19, 14:02 1

- It's Star Wars all over again for me. Anytime anyone says they legitimately liked Twilight, I just shake my head in pity. - David Nov 19, 13:53 30
  - The difference there is that Star Wars was loved by critics, fans and general moviegoers. Twilight is only liked by the loyal fanbase. -- nm - Inigo Nov 19, 14:00 26

      - The first trilogy. Specifically, Star Wars and Empire. -- nm - Inigo Nov 19, 14:03 12

        I watched the first one very objectively recently for my AFI project. - Callisto Nov 19, 14:09 7
        
        Star Wars introduced us to a whole new world (of special effects). - Spawn Nov 19, 14:17

        It depends. I mean, I like Revenge of the Sith and he hates it. - Callisto Nov 19, 14:15 4
        
        (And I really do think Empire Strikes Back is great.) -- nm - Callisto Nov 19, 14:15 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I think it's a little overrated *but* I think that it is also a super important set of films historically and to deny that is silly. - Callisto Nov 19, 14:23 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        And now you are getting to the heart of why I would never be his. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 14:06
        
        It's the reason DLC is a meme -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 14:05 1
        
        Ironically, this is something I like about Twilight. It's demonstrating what I've always said about Star Wars proving it's better to be lucky thangood - David Nov 19, 14:08
    - They're both mediocre products whose popularity vastly exceeds what the quality merits. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:01 11
      - Except it's hard to find an all time top 100 list from a major listing that doesn't have the original Star Wars in that list. - Inigo Nov 19, 14:05 10
        
        You should brace for the same thing to happen to Twilight down the line. People drive lists. - David Nov 19, 14:13 8
        
        Twlight has a 5.9 rating on IMDB. It didn't get nominated for Best Picture. It won't have re-releases. - Inigo Nov 19, 14:18 3
        
        fwiw, at least one local theater is showing "twilight" right now. - b. Nov 19, 14:25
        
        It was an nothing film budget that earned $380 million worldwide. If you don't think that's a blockbuster...well, you're being silly. - David Nov 19, 14:25
        
        To be clear, I'm taling about the movies. The books are a totally separate class. -- nm - Inigo Nov 19, 14:21
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        As much as I wish it would, Twilight isn't going away. One out of every nine books sold the first half of this year was for this franchise. -- nm - David Nov 19, 14:18 2
        
        wow, i didn't know that. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 14:19 1
        
        When I was researching for New Moon about four months ago is when I started ranting about it here. - David Nov 19, 14:26
        
        I will. Ho-Ho! -- nm - Retired Summit Entertainment Mogul Nov 19, 14:11
  - [deleted]
  - I was one of those people who camped out overnight for tickets to Episode 1. It was pretty terrible, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 13:56
  - "Why settle for THIS? This ... pablum!" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:55
- My FB is blowing up with people writing statuses about going to midnight shows -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 13:52
- I will say, New Moon looks a lot less corny than 2012 -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:52
- Just checkin' on that one dudes abs. He must have a killer work out. -- nm - Jack's Uber-Straight Jock Type Trainer Nov 19, 13:52
- As I said, I know a total of 1 people going. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 13:51 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - Maybe these three people are buying 100 tickets each? -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 13:56
  - me too. I'll have to swing by my theater tomorrow just to look. It's play there every half hour from 10am to midnight. -- nm - Max Nov 19, 13:52
EPIC FAIL -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 13:50 2
- Hahaha I take it you saw the video? -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 13:52
- EPIC FLAIL. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 19, 13:51 [Image]
