- So you were being serious? - amoxy Dec 27, 18:12 1
  - I'm way funnier than that - stewie Dec 27, 18:18
one Oscar that i'm happy about is Best Actor, which seems to be a lock for Jeff Bridges at this point - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 18:01 2
- we thought that was Colin Firth - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 18:02 1
  - i think the critics awards have been virtually unanimous for Bridges so far -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 18:03
Add Princess & the Frog and (500) Days of Summer to my weekend round-up. Once again... (spoilers) - Mop Dec 27, 17:48 13
- Watched 500 Days a couple nights ago - really liked it and I agree on the musical scene. - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 27, 18:40
- I honestly would have liked 500 Days of Summer a full letter grade more had it not been indie-sequenced. (spoils) - Will Hunting Dec 27, 18:33
- I so wanted to like summer, but it left me so cold. I (s) - amanda Dec 27, 18:01 10
  - You are seeing the story told from his point of view looking back on it after it all happened (spoilers) - Dano Dec 27, 18:29
  - all the signs were there - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 18:09 4
    - although i've used such slight coincidences of taste to infer soulmatedness that did not actually exist in my own life i think movies should do better -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 18:11 3
      - Smiths fans are a different breed apart - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 18:16 2
        
        i am a Smiths fan since 86 and would never pay that for those. - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 18:18 1
        
        the rain falls hard on a humdrum town - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 18:20
  - it's parts were bigger than the sum of them - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 18:09 3

Tinytypalooza on b2 ... over football? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 17:47 10
- I know ty97 has lost a lot of weight (and looks great) but he's not tiny yet -- nm - zork Dec 27, 18:30 1

- tiny print often happens regarding subjects about which people are passionate. -- nm - amanda Dec 27, 17:55 7

      - go to Change Info on the left. uncheck the box that says "Deep Nested Font Shrinking:" -- nm - prayformojo Dec 27, 18:04 2
        
        Redmond is just going to blame it on the cold. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 18:09
        
        "Deep Nested Font Shrinking" is my new favorite euphemism. (nm) - Tiny Tim Dec 27, 18:04
      - I got it. I had no idea. I kiss you! -- nm - amanda Dec 27, 18:04
/* Bella It's not a bad place for a bath just take your egg and mull things over in the hot water */ -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 17:46
that's Faith Hill? she blew up real good there at the end - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 17:27
i'd pay Jigsaw to put Faith Hill and Hank Williams Jr. in some sort of Saw contraption -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:24 1
- I would pay Faith Hill good money, but it wouldn't be for t hat. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 17:26
Two California Safeway stores were left unlocked over Christmas...and customers shopped and left cash at the registers.. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Dec 27, 17:15 2
- Looks like they broke in. Those people really needed groceries! - Mop Dec 27, 17:26
- heh, we just saw this story on ABC... I can think of a few places where the stores would have been looted and gutted completely. -- nm - CrankYanker Dec 27, 17:23
Looking at this weekend's box office numbers, I'm definitely thinking Avatar is in the lead for Best Picture. - Jelly Dec 27, 17:13 38
- and Star Trek would be second ? - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 18:01
- This is the year with 10 nominees, right? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 27, 17:47
- the other wild card that i don't know how it will shake out in the end is having 10 nominees instead of 5 - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:47 3
  - that's exactly what I was thinking -- nm - Beryllium Dec 27, 17:47 2
    - and let's not rule out ... The Blind Side, as the ultimate blind side. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 27, 17:48 1
      - Hurt Locker was like TIFF 2008 ago - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 17:59
- Box office is a neccesity to getting nominated, but massive amounts are paradoxically a hindrance to winning. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 17:19 6
  - except for that boat movie. -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 27, 17:51 1
    - You, also, needed to read to the end. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 17:54
  - there was a certain Ring movie that finally won it all in the end -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 17:29 1
    - and of course I didn't say they can't win. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 17:30
  - i think it's a year for Hollywood to celebrate the big studio pic again - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:22 1
    - It definitely can't be ruled out. I'm just saying that box office is usually viewed as its own reward. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 17:24
- Best Picture as in Oscars? I loved the movie but that is not an Oscar movie. - Redmond Dec 27, 17:15 24
  - it's as much a Best Picture picture as Titanic was. it's going to win -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:18 23
    - You are high!! -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 17:20 22
      - what's going to beat it? -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:22 21
        
        I'm not necessarily disagreeing, but The Hurt Locker seems to be shaping up as it's main opponent. - Don Homer Dec 27, 17:34 5
        
        If it comes down to those 2....Avatar in a walk. Hurt Locker has a worldwide gross of $16mil....that's Steely Dan levels of Grammy sales in Oscar's - Will Hunting Dec 27, 18:40
        
        i think Bigelow is the favorite for Director but the c.w. is that Hurt Locker didn't make nearly enough money to win Best Pic -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:36 3
        
        No one is talking about this yet but a Bigelow vs. Cameron face-off in Best Director would be a special sort of tremendous. -- nm - David Dec 27, 17:37
        
        bam-bam directed a movie? I gotta see that -- nm - dogbert Dec 27, 17:37 1
        
        From the grave, apparently! -- nm - David Dec 27, 17:37
        
        Some artsy fartsy movie. Too many people bagging on the storyline to win Best Picture. - Redmond Dec 27, 17:25 14
        
        The storyline may be basic, but basic backed up with a healthy heaping of JAWSOME! -- nm - Qale Dec 27, 17:52
        
        the Academy gives it to big dumb movies (Braveheart, Gladiator, Titanic, LOTR) as often as it does indie/artsy fartsy films - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:29 5
        
        LOTR is the only movie that comes close to making your argument. - Redmond Dec 27, 17:32 4
        
        You've had a lot of crazy arguing for one day. Maybe you should lay down. -- nm - Reagen Dec 27, 17:34 2
        
        It's fun. -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 17:43
        
        He *is* Duff Brewery by this point. -- nm - David Dec 27, 17:36
        
        you keep thinking it's about being deserving on the artistic merits alone. -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:34
        
        cop-out. -- nm - dogbert Dec 27, 17:27 6
        
        I doubt a Kevin Smith film will ever win Oscar. -- nm - Qale Dec 27, 17:55
        
        You think it should win Best Picture? -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 17:28 4
        
        I haven't seen it, but he asked you what would beat it. -- nm - dogbert Dec 27, 17:29 2
        
        Ah. I can't say because I haven't seen enough of the holiday (Oscar time) movies yet. - Redmond Dec 27, 17:30 1
        
        here's what I think, I haven't seen (or heard of) a movie this year that anyone is saying is the best picture of the year. this year seems a bit weak - dogbert Dec 27, 17:35
        
        Should win and will win are usually worlds apart. -- nm - David Dec 27, 17:28
quidditch! -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Dec 27, 17:02
TFox....sell the book. Let something positive come out of the misfortune of owning a Glenn Beck item; even for a few days. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 27, 17:00 9
- I have to read it first. I doubt SheFox will approve the sale of a gift from her dad. -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 17:02 2
  - she probably wouldn't approve of you checking out the cleavage of a hottie walking by, but you do it anyway because you're a man! - dogbert Dec 27, 17:14
  - Isn't giving a kid that book the equivalent of giving kids candy cigarettes? Get them hooked young? -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 17:05
- and then perform a cleansing of the boys mind with Marvel Adventures Spider-man! -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 17:02 5
  - ... purchased for a modest price at a fine midwestern comic shop with excellent customer service and volume discounts. -- nm - b!, merry and bright. Dec 27, 17:05 4
    - Just ignore the blad dude with goofy look:) -- nm - eag Dec 27, 17:06 1
      - Bald -- nm - eag Dec 27, 17:06
    - Hero House *rocks* -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 17:06 1
      - damn you pixie! -- nm - Remlik Dec 27, 17:35
So my money league championship comes down to this. Good thoughts couldn't hurt. (I could really use the cash) - Redmond Dec 27, 16:59 2
- How about special underwear? -- nm - eag Dec 27, 17:02
- good luck! -- nm - b! Dec 27, 17:00
*submits RFP to his ST secret crush* -- nm - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:53 7
- your unrequited adoration of mus. is cute. -- nm - b! Dec 27, 16:55 6
  - we could have a hawaiian wedding at sunset in the surf and a spam luau reception! - mr. squiggles Dec 27, 16:56 5
    - Spamlet and Liioulu will be at the wedding? What about me? -- nm - Redmond Dec 27, 17:06 1
      - Im sure they can throw in some bacon in there -- nm - eag Dec 27, 17:07
    - as featured on the new reality show "big island love" on bravo. -- nm - b! Dec 27, 16:58
    - hawaiian beach sunset weddings were ruined for me when a friend came home from Maui last fall with photos of six or seven couples every night - kare Dec 27, 16:57 1
      - They were obviously married on the wrong beaches. I can take you - H-Mogul Dec 27, 17:03
