  - The words are hysterically inappropriate -- nm - MDH Dec 2, 12:22
Bing Maps goes live and damn it's sweet. Switches from road to ariel to street view as you zoom. Super slick -- (link) - oblique Dec 2, 12:19 3
- unsurprisingly it doesn't work with Chrome. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 12:20 1
  - the map view does. Cool blur effects, too. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:21
- It looks almost like they tilt shifted all the sat imagery -- nm - oblique Dec 2, 12:20

- The Butcher's Wife -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 12:15
- Uh... that Sean Connery movie where he was the cancer-drug researcher in the jungle. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 12:15 1
  - heh. (Medicine Man) -- nm - Don Homer Dec 2, 12:16
- The Pickup Artist, I think. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 12:15
- Dances with wolves. -- nm - Loyola Dec 2, 12:14
On the question of quality vs quantity... Since T2 in 1991 Cameron has done True Lies and Titanic. Spielberg has done... - Ender Dec 2, 12:14 44
- Whoops, forgot AI in there too. -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 12:20
- Also, Hook and A.I. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 12:19
- There isn't really a dud in the bunch. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 12:18 10
  - seriously? There are several imo. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 2, 12:19 9
    - Well, maybe Indy 4. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 12:20
    - Sveral? Name them. I can see where someone can see one or maaaaybe two. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:19 7
      - JP2, Indy 4 and War of the Worlds. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 12:21 2
        
        WotW was not a dud. Weaker than some, but not a dud. - Spawn Dec 2, 12:22
        
        Plus AI. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 2, 12:21
      - Oops. Did not see JP2 on there. Two, maaaaaybe three. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:20
      - For me, Indy 4 and Jurassic 2 -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 12:20 2
        
        For me, "several" means at least four. -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:21 1
        
        Not disagreeing with you -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 12:22
- (also, it's amazing that Indy 4 is easily the worst movie in that list.) -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:18 15
  - JP2 was awful -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 12:18 14
    - the book was quite good, but the good got lost in the transfer to film -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:19 4
      - yeah, I loved the book. - groiny Dec 2, 12:20
      - When you start off with "Character A was only mostly dead", it ain't that good a book. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:20 2
        
        yeah that was lame...but forgiveable... -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:22 1
        
        little black girl gymkata'ing the Velociraptor was the death of it for me. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 12:22
    - I enjoyed all the Jurassic Parks to some degree. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:19 6
      - I actually liked JP3 quite a bit. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 2, 12:20 3

        The pteranodons ruled. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:21 1
        
        yeah, it was a strong part. - groiny Dec 2, 12:22
      - I'm pretty sure I haven't seen JP3. Wasn't there a JP4? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:20 1
        
        Just three. I liked 3 better than 2. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:20
    - Yeah, the 2 sequels there are definitely the weakest links. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 12:19 1
      - Yeah, of the rest of them I think the worst you could say is "eh, not great". -- nm - Ender Dec 2, 12:24

  - The Terminal here. -- nm - Roger More Dec 2, 12:17
  - Schindler, Amistad, Ryan, Munich -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:16 4
    - All of those are worth watching, I'm sure. (And I hated Munich. But it was worth watching, I guess. Mostly.) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:16 3
      - if you hated it why was it worth watching? -- nm - J Dec 2, 12:17 2
        
        It told a story that many people wouldn't know about. My issues with it ... are more to do with stupid flourishes that spielberg added. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:18 1
        
        Are you sure you're not thinking of Don't Mess With the Zohan? - Roger More Dec 2, 12:23
  - Amistad and The Terminal here -- nm - Beaker Dec 2, 12:15 2
    - I enjoyed The Terminal quite a bit, it was cute. Not necessarily a powerful film, but cute. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 12:16 1
      - word -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:17
- without a doubt. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 12:15

OK stood next to this guy at the bank yesterday while he deposited his paycheck - Capstern Dec 2, 12:10 7
- You'd think he's have direct deposit, rather than waiting on line in a bank to deposit his check. -- nm - Krusty Dec 2, 12:13
- How much? -- nm - Spawn Dec 2, 12:11 5
  - I couldnt see the check clearly I didnt have my glasses on but pretty sure it was as much as I make in a year or so - Capstern Dec 2, 12:13 4
    - You'd think his manager would take care of that. -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 2, 12:18 2
      - heh, based on most stories about players who let managers deposit money for them maybe it is best if he does it himself - Beaker Dec 2, 12:20 1
        
        i think the hockey guys tend to be a little more down to earth and hell I wouldnt trust anyone with my paycheck -- nm - Capstern Dec 2, 12:25
