I'm glad to report that I know very little about Megan Fox. 9/25. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:20 1
- September 25th? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:21
My favorite part of Chuck last night? (spoils) - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:19 2
- It was a bit (spoils) - Beryllium Jan 11, 09:24
- That shocked me. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 11, 09:20

how does this happen? Ontario man mauled to death by his cute, docile pet tiger -- (link) - fatsquatch Jan 11, 09:05 2
- even more annoying, this same tiger mauled a 10 year old boy a few years ago and the owner fought to save it then. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 09:06 1
  - well, at least it was him that got killed, and not another person. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:10
TV PSA: Fringe has a new episode on tonight after House - MDH Jan 11, 09:04 3
- 100th episode of HIMYM -- nm - Max Jan 11, 09:20 1
  - Musical episode. -- nm - Shaun Jan 11, 09:21
- Awesome. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:05
Airline fare question... - znufrii Jan 11, 09:02 22
- what they said; and, also: so sorry about your grandma. :( - -- nm - b. Jan 11, 09:17 6
  - thanks, and thanks all for the condolences on the bb. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 09:19 1
    - Missed this. Real sorry. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:20
  - Is that and the airline question related by any chance? -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:18 3
    - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 09:19 2
      - Call the airline and ask about Bereavement Fares. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:20 1
        
        Oh, for sure. I think most carriers will work with you on that. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 11, 09:23
- [deleted] 6
  - I've never really had to book travel without months to plan in advance. - znufrii Jan 11, 09:09 5
    - [deleted]
    - i would say that depends on the flight. a busy flight, no, you probably won't get a cheap fare that close. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 09:09 3
      - test - if it's a daily flight, check to see what that flight would cost tomorrow, the day after, etc. you'll see how far out it starts going up. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 09:11 2
        
        oooh, good call. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 09:12 1
        
        make sure to account for the day of the week too... -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 09:15
- i book travel all the time. Generally speaking, i find if i have to put someone on a plane in under 48 hours, i end up paying *way* more. - Andie Jan 11, 09:04 7
  - Southwest is very good about only charging the difference in airfare -- no fees for changing your flight. If you can use them, do it. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 11, 09:08 6
    - I don't think Southwest flies out of any of the 3 major NYC airports, though, unfortunately. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 09:10 3
      - Yes they do. Here's a sample. -- (link) - Fuzzy Jan 11, 09:13
      - Southwest flies out of LaGuardia -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:13 1
        
        I stand corrected. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 09:14
    - well, that doesn't help me, but might be good for znu. however, the fare difference can be huge if you bought a discounted ticket in the first place. -- nm - Andie Jan 11, 09:09 1
      - Yeah, this is in response to Znu more than you. -- nm - Fuzzy Jan 11, 09:09

ST poll - it's Monday what is your irritability factor? 1 to 10 - Epiphany Jan 11, 09:00 7
- 1. I now get Saturday and Monday off. Stupid sexy Sundays. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:04
- 2. There's always room for improvement. - Fuzzy Jan 11, 09:04 1
  - this made me laugh!! ha -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 11, 09:20
- purple. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 09:04
- good solid 7.5 . nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:01
- 5 -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:00
- 2. But my motivation factor is even lower -- nm - oblique Jan 11, 09:00
I don't think I want to see Avatar either. - musubi Jan 11, 08:59 51
- I did not care for it. Nothing about it really surprised or wowed me. -- nm - Ender Jan 11, 09:13
- I was only kind of meh on it. I didn't regret seeing it, but I didn't love it either. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:10 6
  - promo for pirannah 3D - lafarrow Jan 11, 09:11 5
    - Yeah, but I've only seen the bootleg version of it shot off the screen on YouTube. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:13 1
      - I had no idea about the cast until I saw it yesterday. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:15
    - Saw it on the big screen yesterday. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:12 2
      - Of course. It has girls in bikinis jumping on trampolines. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 09:15 1
        
        True, but it was when I saw (spoil) - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:18
- I'll wait for the DVD - LMS Jan 11, 09:07
- Well now you're reading more on the backlash. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:07 1
  - I'm sure this is partially true, but my reluctance to see it began before the movie even opened. - musubi Jan 11, 09:13
- unrelated: i now picture you as the dude in the State Farm commercial air drumming to the Kansas song -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 09:03
- I don't understand. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 09:02
- [deleted] 3
  - I hates me some cul-tral edu-cay-shun. - musubi Jan 11, 09:04 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I should add that to my resume. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:09
- I saw it last night and was impressed with the effects, but totally underwhelmed by the story & acting -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:00 16
  - I actually thought the story was pretty good. Acting was better than I was expecting too. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 09:04 4
    - [deleted] 2
      - True. It's not about the actual story, just about how the story is told. - Shaun Jan 11, 09:11 1
        
        BOOM! -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:11
    - I found it way to predictable -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:05
  - [deleted] 2
    - Michelle Rodriguez is on my girl laminated list. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:08 1
      - I would not put her in my top 10, but maybe top 25. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:09
  - That is what half the people that see it say. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:02
  - and all this oscar talk? not even close to a best picture imo - decline Jan 11, 09:01 1
    - It took me a while to realize this, but Oscar has never meant quality. It's about money, power, and influence. -- nm - Qale Jan 11, 09:09
  - Do I need to see it in 3D? I'm not a big fan of 3D to begin with -- nm - oblique Jan 11, 09:01 4
    - I would say that you should. 3D is bad for me because I hate wearing glasses over my glasses...but didn't bother me a bit for this one. - Jim Jan 11, 09:04 1
      - I did find, towards the end, that the double glasses were beginning to weigh heavy on my nose. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 11, 09:14
    - I went in with a friend who said she didn't like 3D either. She ended up loving the movie. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 09:02
    - I saw it 3d imax - but honestly it was probably not necessary to do so. -- nm - decline Jan 11, 09:02
- When enough people give something glowing reviews, I will see it even if I have no interest. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:00 15
  - That's what happened with us. Too many people that we know were raving about this. -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 09:03
  - If it were getting glowing reviews, I'd be more interested I think. - musubi Jan 11, 09:02 13
    - IMO, the story doesn't have to be the most important part of every movie - Guigue Jan 11, 09:11 1
      - I fully agree with that sentiment, in general. I'm not sure why, but this movie specifically....just isn't grabbing me. - musubi Jan 11, 09:15
    - It is like reading a comic with great art but an awful story. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:04 9
      - that's why I stopped watching Heroes. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 09:04 8
        
        no comparison. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:07 1
        
        Well, no - Heroes writing is worse than Avatar, and the visuals can't touch it -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jan 11, 09:16
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:06 5
        
        spawn and musubi: the king and queen of dumb - fatsquatch Jan 11, 09:07 4
        
        I'm amazed with all your hatey that Cameron doesn't get hatelisted. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:11 2
        
        the difference is he doesn't pretend he's doing anything other than mass-market entertainment. and on that level, he's the best at what he does - fatsquatch Jan 11, 09:15 1
        
        But you *hatey* just about *everything*. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:17
        
        which one is the innie, and which is the outie? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:08
    - I have seen an awful lot of ST-ers give it B+ or higher. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 11, 09:03
- Please, don't, make me like you. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:59
Can I assume that the reason no one's said anything about the Carina/Sarah getting ready scene on Chuck is that we all need some time to process that? -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:57 16
- this post requires screencaps link (since I havent watched the ep yet) -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 09:13
- Words fail for the hummina hummina in that scene. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:07 3
  - God bless those pandering bastards. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 09:09 2
    - Mini Leder is a gorgeously different woman - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:12 1
      - Crap...Mini Anden - Will Hunting Jan 11, 09:20
- hijacking - anyone watch the season premiere of Big Love - any good? ( no spoils please) -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 11, 09:01
- Frak. I need to remind my Tivo to catch Chuck. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:00 5
  - It was on 9-11 last night, but its real time slot is Monday 8-9, up against House, HIMYM, and The Bachelor. -- nm - Ender Jan 11, 09:02 1
    - ... and it is on tonight, as well. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:02
  - You were too busy watching Desperate Housewives. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:01
  - So much for liking you. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 09:00 1
    - I'll gladly admit that choosing to season pass HIMYM over Chuck was a collosal mistake on my part. (nm) - musubi Jan 11, 09:07
- (spoils) - Beryllium Jan 11, 08:59 2
  - It's not like it's a new phenomenon though, the show's always had shots like that. -- nm - Ender Jan 11, 09:00 1
    - I know :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 09:01
- We watched the first hour so far. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:58
Awesome news on B2 re: Chuck ratings. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 08:56
I know I'm about 10 years behind the times here, but The Wind Cries Mary on GHWT is the sweety sweetness -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 08:56 1
- I keep going back to Rebel Yell and Motorhead's Overkill on that game. Fun times. -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 09:04
kilbo: That video clip (which I haven't watched yet) is reminiscient of Punch Drunk Love -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 08:50 4
- The sun eating the comet? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:50 3
  - the BBC reporter breaking the "unbreakable" phone ... Sandler had a similar scene in PDL -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 08:53 2
    - I know (one of my top 25 movies). Just my first thought. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:55 1
      - ah, I see :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 08:55
[deleted] 2
- Meh, no goalies fighting = lame. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 08:54
- They had one like this last year too in the KHL, if I'm n ot mistaken. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:53
Side effects of Avatar may include increased suicidal thoughts. -- (link) - Qale Jan 11, 08:48 11
- this is just like when znu realized he was never going to be a dolphicorn. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:52 3
  - Have you seen the episode of South Park where's Randy becomes a dolphin? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 08:54 1
    - that's part of where that came from, yeah. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:54
  - SFPOD -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:53
- That movie affected me like visiting a fun, funky museum. It opened up my mind and was creatively inspiring. -- nm - Diva Jan 11, 08:52
- GSAAKY -- nm - prayformojo Jan 11, 08:52
- [deleted]
- That is one of the sillier things I've ever heard. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 11, 08:50 1
  - Eiffel 65 begs to disagree. -- (link) - Qale Jan 11, 08:53 [youtube]
- Ok, I REALLY like the movie...but all that is a little much, I think. -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 08:50
- *beams* -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:49
Cool. Sun eats comet -- (link) - oblique Jan 11, 08:47 [youtube] 2
- Yeah, real fun until it realizes it has an appetite for more. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:49
- BURPPPPP! -- nm - Sun Jan 11, 08:48
Oh, UitA is unquestionably a better movie than Crash. Racism doesn't push George Clooney off an airplane, for instance. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:47 3
- Racism gets him through security faster though. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 08:48 2
  - "That's not racist, that's stereotyping, it's faster" -- nm - MDH Jan 11, 08:50
  - Hmm. Fair point. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 08:48
Hit that hole! -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 08:46 4
