did max get fired yet? -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 11:01 3
- No. I won and he capitulated without apologizing. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 11:01 2
  - phase 2: forcing the boss to apologize -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 11:02 1
    - In hindsight, dressing down your boss is Bad Idea Jeans. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 11:03
Speaking of trailers, I'm amused that Damon and Greengrass got sick of waiting around for another Bourne script and just did their own. - Reagen Jan 11, 11:00 2
- Gotta be easier than Bourne 1 & 2, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 11:01
- And the Repo Men trailer... WTF? I couldn't even get through the trailer. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 11:01
Speaking of bad trailers... - znufrii Jan 11, 10:59 5
- Uh... it is a remake. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 11:08 1
  - dude, watch the spoilers! ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 11:08
- I hated the original. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 11:00 2
  - So did I. I can't understand why they're remaking *this* movie... -- nm - kelly Jan 11, 11:10
  - I thought it was funny, but not at all in the way they're aiming the remake. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 11:00
5,500 people is hardly a valid statistical sampling. - reluctantcynic (en treo) Jan 11, 10:57 4
- Given the right selection parameters for 5,500 people, I'm pretty sure a statistician can derive 95% confidence for an accurate representation of ... - Beryllium Jan 11, 10:59 3
  - assuming a truly random sample. -- nm - Reagen Jan 11, 11:01 1
    - yes, that's what I meant by "right selection parameters" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 11:02
  - maybe only 92.5% ... it's been a while -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 11:00

I'm heartened by the return of Pepsi Throwback and Dr. Pepper's me-too product. I hope this means Coke won't be far behind. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 10:55 10
- Had some throwback Mt.Dew this weekend. Not bad. - Dr.Vermin Jan 11, 10:58
- why would you need to improve upon the perfection that is Coca Cola? - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:56 4
  - Because Coke with cane sugar was perfect. Then they switched to HFCS. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 11:05
  - Because cane sugar Coke is superior to HFCS Coke. -- nm - TWuG Jan 11, 10:57 2
    - i've tasted both (we get sugared Mexi-Coke here). it's not that big a difference - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:59 1
      - I did not know the Mexican Coke had cane sugar. Makes sense, of course. - con_carne Jan 11, 11:03
- Would Coke throw back to New Coke? -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 10:55 3
  - 1920s Coke now with cocaine again!! -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jan 11, 10:57
  - interception. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 10:56 1
    - *golf clap* -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 11, 10:57
I'm not sure of the accuracy of this (it was hard to keep up) but I counted 89 cuts in the trailer for The A-Team. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 10:53 12
- Yeah that trailer does absolutely nothing for me -- nm - MDH Jan 11, 11:04 1
  - Except for the excessive cuts, it's perfect. - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 11:07
- Yeah, that kind of annoyed me. I liked what I saw, though, from the actual film footage. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 10:58
- The last scene in that trailer was GI Joe Speedsuits bad. -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jan 11, 10:56 1
  - Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 11:04
- Somewhere the Quantum of Solace and Bourne editors are calling a trailer editor a pussy. -- nm - Ender Jan 11, 10:55 1
  - The QoS editing was criminal. I have no idea why you'd spend however millions of dollars to film a car chase and then cut it beyond recognition. nm - Dignan Jan 11, 11:11
- Yeah, that's a little much. I wonder if it's some spec job done by an intern and not intended as official. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 10:54 3
  - I counted from the one posted officially at Yahoo. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 10:55 2
    - It's slightly less jarring at the higher resolution. I couldn't watch the low res one. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 10:56 1
      - Ah, I just saw the Vimeo one. I'll go to Yahoo now. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 10:56
- Challenge accepted. -- nm - Michael Bay Jan 11, 10:54
*sigh* - znufrii Jan 11, 10:50 10
- I hear ya. - b. Jan 11, 10:52
- Jack Dawson put you in the friend zone? -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jan 11, 10:52
- Hate'm back, works for me. -- nm - Martin Riggs Jan 11, 10:51 3
  - Watched LW a week or so ago ... I need to watch LW2 now. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 11, 10:52 2
    - You work at a Blockbusters and you've never seen Jaws? -- nm - Max Jan 11, 10:53 1
      - You shouldn't be looking at kids. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jan 11, 11:03
- Then don't do it, dumbass. -- nm - znu's boss Jan 11, 10:51 3
  - worse than that... - znufrii Jan 11, 10:52 2
    - THEN REALLY DON"T DO THAT, DUMBASS! -- nm - znu's boss Jan 11, 10:52 1
      - seriously. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 10:54
To Warner Bros and Netflix I say: GET THOSE MOVIES IN THE STREAMING QUEUE NOW! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 10:48 1

Huh. This is a surprise. - kelly Jan 11, 10:41 15
- that's way cool. and surprisingly accomodating. -- nm - reluctantcynic (en treo) Jan 11, 10:54 1
  - Yeah, it is. I'm shocked. - kelly Jan 11, 10:58
- [deleted]
- I don't see how it's a surprise, but good goin'! -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 10:48
- Very nice. (nm) - Will Hunting Jan 11, 10:47 2
  - Yep. - kelly Jan 11, 10:51 1
    - Sweet. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 11, 10:52
- wow. -- nm - znufrii Jan 11, 10:46
- honesty for the win -- nm - ceregon Jan 11, 10:46
- sweet. now you can just coast for a couple weeks doing nothing until the real job starts -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:45
- good. I was going to say back there that temp. agencies are used to dealing with people who are looking for permanent jobs. - b. Jan 11, 10:45
- cool -- nm - Beaker Jan 11, 10:44
- Win. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 10:44

  - This probably is it. -- nm - MDH Jan 11, 10:40
Getting money for Xmas is cool. After some creative workings using ~$78 of it, I now have Dante's Inferno, GoW3, and Heavy Rain preordered. - Shaun Jan 11, 10:33 9
- They made a game based on Bowfinger?! -- nm - Beaker Jan 11, 10:45 4
  - damn it, Chubby Rain. -- nm - Beaker Jan 11, 10:48 1
    - "I mean, the keys are right next to each other!" -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 11:08
  - If I had money to burn I'd buy every game-based-on-a-movie ever made and spend a month playing them all. -- nm - Max Jan 11, 10:46 1

    - i'm more suprised that these small films are so consistently the most rented across the country -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:42 2
      - My Top 10 has no family films and few mainstream big budget films -- nm - con_carne Jan 11, 10:45

Keith Law points out that the Reds' 2012 rotation could be: Chapman, Volquez, Cueto, 1st rd pick Mike Leake, and Homer Bailey. - TFox Jan 11, 10:32 2
- That could be awesome. But 3 of those five have issues with free passes, 1 just had major arm surgery, and 2 haven't thrown a single MLB pitch. - musubi Jan 11, 10:37 1
  - right, but still, Reds fans can have a dream. -- nm - TFox Jan 11, 10:40
So assuming no craziness happens to keep Pete in cardinal and gold, who replaces Carroll at SC? - musubi Jan 11, 10:32 20
- you think they would hire me and you as co-coaches? -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:36 2
  - Murder on the Sidelines! Tonight on the 11 o'clock news. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 10:56
  - Mike Garrett *is* a sucker, so I wouldn't rule it out *completely*. - musubi Jan 11, 10:40
- I'm wondering if Pete will make a move to bring Leinart up to Seattle to take over for the aging Hasselbeck. -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 10:35 3
  - I'm intrigued that there are reports he's trying to get Norm Chow to come to Seattle. - musubi Jan 11, 10:44 2
    - Wait, what? After PC kicked him off the staff? -- nm - David Jan 11, 10:47 1
      - I *know*. It's all unconfirmed rumor, but when I read it I was *fascinated*. - musubi Jan 11, 10:55
- Zombie Vince Lombardi -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 11, 10:34
- Who would want that job at this point? Who's going to take a gig with the cloud of NCAA sanctions hovering? -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 10:33 7
  - Seriously? It's a flagship program. NCAA will slap their wrist, but it's a job 99% of coaches would kill for. - musubi Jan 11, 10:39 1
    - Just play a little hardball to account for the scholarship losses in the contract. - Will Hunting Jan 11, 10:49
  - I assumed Carroll leaving was evidence of sanctions coming. -- nm - Dano Jan 11, 10:35 4
    - I think it most definitely is. The captain just abandoned his ship. -- nm - Jim Jan 11, 10:36 3
      - Speaking of which, Reuters just posted this story: "NCAA reportedly finally interviews Reggie Bush" - David Jan 11, 10:39 2
        
        It's hard to talk with him since he's so busy scoring touchdowns all the time. -- nm - Inigo Jan 11, 10:42 1
        
        plus, you know, keeping up with the kardashians. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 11, 10:43

- Mike Leach. (nm) - Will Hunting Jan 11, 10:33
There's a sense of anonymity when the camera is off, even if people transcribe your words. - Mop (228 lbs) Jan 11, 10:31 1
