Looks like the next episode of Tard Fights has broken out on the Movies Board. - Diva Dec 17, 09:49 15
- Care to spoil the fight? All I see is the Iron Man thread? - MDH Dec 17, 10:13
- I see a certain someone has unquit. Again. -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 09:57 6
  - It lasted a week. Maybe less. I only check in when I need a reminder of how stupid this place *could* be. - TWuG Dec 17, 10:02 2
    - He was gone for a few weeks, iirc -- nm - Facto Dec 17, 10:27
    - Hope they never find this place and migrate -- nm - MryyhDragon Dec 17, 10:03

    - Shades? He threatened to quit those boards just recently, but was back in about a week. -- nm - TWuG Dec 17, 10:02 1
      - Yes, and it was longer than a week. (I still play and check the boards pretty frequently) -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 10:04
- Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast. -- nm - Roger More Dec 17, 09:57 5
  - That's some unusually speedy moderation, for them. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 09:58 4
    - Did the fun get deleted? Cause nothing I saw seems out of the ordinary. -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 09:58 3
      - There a couple of posts that say they've been deleted. And Dmac ends the thread with "bye bye" which I assume means the troll is banned. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 10:01 1
        
        It was only a matter of time for Husky to get the ban-hammer -- nm - scorpion Dec 17, 10:11

ST IMAX Poll -- What was the last non-commercial movie you saw on IMAX? - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 17, 09:18 6

- Something about the human body narrated by David Attenborough - LMS Dec 17, 09:27
- Something about space back in the mid 90s. Only thing I've ever seen in IMAX. -- nm - Krusty The Snowman Dec 17, 09:25
- I think that space station one narrated by Tom Cruise. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:22
Ok legal types...have a question for you. (long story inside) - Jim Dec 17, 09:14 51
- I really appreciate everyone's thoughts on this. It's a pretty messed up thing. - Jim Dec 17, 09:44 1
  - Yeah it's messed up either way. My sympathies. Maybe you could get a hold of the court transcripts or ask the arresting officer yourself for peace of - Loyola Dec 17, 09:48
- [deleted] 3
  - Wow, that's pretty self-explanatory. - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:41 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I've just known you for so long; bad lawyering is my default :) -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:56
- a local radio/TV personality here was charged and convicted for kiddie porn, his defense was he was invesitgating a peice for his TV show -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 09:29 11
  - It's a common excuse, I don't think juries are falling for it anymore though. -- nm - LMS Dec 17, 09:31 10
    - Which is why he was afraid of going to trial and getting the maximum. -- nm - Jim Dec 17, 09:32 9
      - How sure are you that he called the cops rather than the cops called on him? -- nm - Loyola Dec 17, 09:33 8
        
        Again, I'm only sure in that I feel confident that he's not "that" guy. - Jim Dec 17, 09:34 7
        
        FWIW, speaking to a cop a while back he said people into kiddie porn tend to own thousands of pictures. -- nm - LMS Dec 17, 09:37 1
        
        Yeah...this was one file folder. I mean, he only had one count against him. - Jim Dec 17, 09:38
        
        I only ask because it's strange, even if the stretch was 30 years, if you're innocent, you're innocent and should be more than willing to bring it to - Loyola Dec 17, 09:36 4
        
        It's a common weigh the risks....if you risk it and lose, you'll lose most of you life to prison...or you can avoid that risk and take a modest - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:38 3
        
        Yep. 10 years and I miss my daughter growing up...or I plea out and maybe get 12 months. - Jim Dec 17, 09:41
        
        I think if he did in fact call the cops he'd have a pretty strong case in front of a jury of his peers. - Loyola Dec 17, 09:40 1
        
        People aren't rational when it comes to kiddie porn....it's still a risk. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 17, 09:41
- Sorry, I need more information...Why would the cops automatically assume that his story was BS? - Name Withheld By Request Dec 17, 09:21 22
  - it was kiddie porn. 'nuf said. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 17, 09:25
  - I agree -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 09:24
  - Perhaps nothing. Possession is a criminal offense and good luck finding an AG willing to walk away from an easy conviction. - TWuG Dec 17, 09:24 19
    - [deleted] 6
      - He pled to one felony count of possession of child pornography -- nm - Jim Dec 17, 09:33 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        this reminds me of that case with the teacher whose school computer was infested with malware. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:41
        
        Well, it's one of two things. nm - Jim Dec 17, 09:39 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I gotta think it is the second line of your IM... -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 09:42
    - Agreed, but he in effect turned himself in and was not even under suspicion. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 09:26 1
      - This is the thing that gets me. - Jim Dec 17, 09:27
    - This is it exactly. I mean, do you suppose he's the only guy caught with kiddie porn that's said, "It's not mine"? - Jim Dec 17, 09:26 9
      - If anything, this is a good warning about torrents. - TWuG Dec 17, 09:28 8
        
        I definitely uncheck any files that isn't specifically what I'm l trying to get. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:30 6
        
        How do you know the file is what it purports to be before it gets to your computer? - TWuG Dec 17, 09:32 3
        
        In my understanding, it's not that the files are disguised as some other type, it's that there's a zip file of something in there. - Reagen Dec 17, 09:36 1
        
        Exactly. He got his songs, but he also got a folder with them, and when he opened it up and saw what it was, he freaked a little. -- nm - Jim Dec 17, 09:37
        
        (Why does mate 1 add come up) But anyway, we are frequently told by our computers to not download things from unknown sources. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 09:34
        
        Exactly. And I guarantee you, this dude doesn't know any of that. he was trying to get songs for his daughter's IPod. Someone told him a site to - Jim Dec 17, 09:32 1
        
        wait, a 4 year old has an iPod? -- nm - sycor Dec 17, 09:46
        
        Word. -- nm - Jim Dec 17, 09:29
- ugh. - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 17, 09:20 1
  - seriously. he was trying to do the right thing and still got screwed. -- nm - sycor Dec 17, 09:21

  - Yeah...it's Missouri...but it was a federal case. *shrugs* Ya know...without being there, I have no idea what was said or wasn't said. - Jim Dec 17, 09:18 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Ah...k. It is just all messed up and, of course, we're only hearing one side of everything. - Jim Dec 17, 09:24
- Holy crap. That's horrible. - kelly Dec 17, 09:16 1
  - Yeah...his wife is pretty screwed up over it. And it sucks to not be able to do anything. Ya know... - Jim Dec 17, 09:19
- obviously i have no legal opinion - but that's so crappy. - Andie Cane Dec 17, 09:15
Debatable, but I enjoy stuff like this: 10 worst office phrases -- (link) - con_carne Dec 17, 09:12
If I was to go to a place like Kinko's to use their paper cutter, do you think it would be frowned upon (or even noticed) if I left without purchasing - kelly Dec 17, 09:10 6
- nmbk. - b.festive. Dec 17, 09:18 2
  - nmbb. - kelly Dec 17, 09:23 1
    - aww. - b.festive. Dec 17, 09:43
- I do it all the time. No one has ever said a word. -- nm - sycor Dec 17, 09:15
- The security gates would crash down. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 09:11
- It's a big place, probably won't be a problem -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 17, 09:11

    - [deleted]
  - spoil - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 09:14
- I have to download stuff to watch it so I'll take your word for it. -- nm - Loyola Dec 17, 09:12
- hmmmm... I think I should be more excited than that trailer made me. - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 09:09 3
  - You are dumb. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 09:12 2
    - I just have to get my timing down better - only tried him twice. Maybe this afternoon I'll give it another go. -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 17, 09:16 1
      - Throw 'rang, and evade left or right to jump out of the way. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 09:25
- My only problem with it is - eag Dec 17, 09:09 1
  - Perfect casting. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 09:12
- Wow. that is a damn good trailer. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 17, 09:08
[deleted] 16
- I'm wondering...what is the point of the billboard? -- nm - Jim Dec 17, 09:17 3
  - It's a "Look at me!" attempt. Hell, *I* think it's offensive and intentionally so. - TWuG Dec 17, 09:21
  - [deleted] 1
    - Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the rationale behind the billboard is stupid, IMO. - Jim Dec 17, 09:20
- hilarious -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 17, 09:10
- People have way too much fucking time on their hands. This is funny! -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 09:10
- Funny concept. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 17, 09:06

  - Being offended and vandalizing are two different things. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 09:12 1

  - I've always found it amusing that people seem to want to ignore the cold reality of some of these Biblical situations. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:08 4
    - I once saw a mormon bishop and foursquare pastor almost come to blows over whether joseph and mary had other children. -- nm - mafic Dec 17, 09:11 1
      - I'm with Chris Rock/Kevin Smith on this - maybe God got there first... but Joseph didn't marry her for nothing. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 09:23

      - Read a couple of weeks back that they now figure that it was the N. American glacier lake busting through to the ocean that created Noah's flood. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 17, 09:13

- Up until a last year I thought IMAX was only for science movies at state museums. Have yet to see a feature film on the huge screen. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 17, 09:02
- I've never seen a feature length movie in IMAX. That trend will probably break for Deathly Hallows. -- nm - Jelly Dec 17, 08:58 4
  - we've gone to opening night Harry Potter in Imax for the past 3?4? HP movies. - Andie Cane Dec 17, 09:00
  - [deleted] 2
    - The Dark Knight, for me, with some of it's scenes shot on Imax film -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 09:00 1
      - See, I would go for Inception, but it's not being shot in IMAX. :( -- nm - Jelly Dec 17, 09:02
- The true ones that I know of here are at Universal Citywalk and Howard Hughes Center -- nm - con_carne Dec 17, 08:58
- You're effing kidding me IMAX is $25. I am never moving to NYC -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 08:52 4
  - [deleted] 3
    - I would be broke! I see way too many movies for that cost. I like my $9 College ID movies. -- nm - MDH Dec 17, 08:56 2
      - Thanks for reminding me to renew my student ID before I graduate. Worldwide savings! -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 17, 09:09
      - $9 on a college ID? Regular or IMAX? -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 17, 09:01
- That's what I was assuming you were referring to. I think Watchmen was the last movie I saw there, it might have been $20 or 22. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 17, 08:50
I still might go see it. -- nm - Diva Dec 17, 08:47
Titanic itself was enough to lose me. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 17, 08:47 1
