Uncanny X-men #522 trailer...a lost team member returns...spoilers... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 12, 10:47 3
- That didn't take long. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:48 2
  - 2 years isn't it? -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:48 1
    - Pretty close. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:48
How weird is this? - znufrii Jan 12, 10:47 3
- Law of averages. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:49
- I have that dream a lot. Effin Ryan Reynolds is one lucky man -- nm - CQ Jan 12, 10:49
- If it's about being at work in your underwear, weird. If it's about flying, very very weird. -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:48
More I watch the ATEAM trailer the more I know its crappy cut trailer but looks like going to be awesome fun - Capstern Jan 12, 10:41 3
- The trailer starts out looking decent, but then spins wildly into crap territory. Like G.I. Joe. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 10:48
- If I ever stockpile enough money to afford a one-off quirky item, I am so buying that van. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:42 1
  - With exterior speakers for the theme. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:43
more later, Fedup came rushing over to my house within 2 minutes, must deal with him first :) -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 12, 10:41 6
- See, if he's been awake for lunch when you suggested, all of this coulda been avoided. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:44
- Quite the lurker, he is. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:42 3
  - lurker or stalker? -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jan 12, 10:43 2
    - Fine line. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:45 1
      - They should watch My Best Friend's Girl together. -- nm - Loyola Jan 12, 10:46
- behold the power of ST - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:42
Canada's 2nd oldest magazine "The Beaver" changing its name due to getting caught in spam filters....(link) - Walt_Disney Jan 12, 10:39
Modern movies get retro Atari game design -- (link) - oblique Jan 12, 10:34
so ... this month, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, John Travolta, and Mel Gibson all have what seem to be action movies coming out. - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:34 30
- Oh you reminded me I've been planning to watch Pelham 123. -- nm - Loyola Jan 12, 10:41
- The Book of Eli is the only one of those I'd want to see. - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:39 12
  - It kind of looks like a dry Waterworld. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:44 1
    - WETLANDS ARE A MYTH! -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:47
  - I'll see it for the yumminess that is Mila. - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:41
  - There's a chance for Leon-esque Oldman madness?! I'm sold. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:39 8
    - Where are the stones?? *blows something else up* - Oldman w/Forelock si Jan 12, 10:40 6
      - I don't know who had the genius idea to cast him as Commissioner Gordon, but it was a good call. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:41 5
        
        he said he took the role cause no one was offering him anything. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:42 4
        
        he is awesome. i need to watch some of his pre-Leon movies. - TFox Jan 12, 10:44
        
        I heart him in that role. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 10:44 2
        
        yeah he's really good and it grounds the film somewhat I think. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:45 1
        
        Glad he came back. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:46
    - just a hunch...I have zero proof. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:40
- Denzel is rarely not watchable, IMO. He's a pretty consistently entertaining dude. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:36
- (old, old, old, old) -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:35
- from the trailers, Knight and Day is the only one i would pay to see -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:35 7
  - It certainly looks unique. Travolta's seems to be Swordfish 2, minus everything that didn't suck about Swordfish. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:36
  - I liked that trailer. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 10:35 5
    - it leaves me scratching my head but I still want to see it... -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:36 4
      - kind of like shoot 'em up, in that respect -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:40 3
        
        is Cruise supposed to be scary or funny? - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:42 2
        
        I don't know yet. - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:46
        
        A little bit of both probably. Just like real life. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 10:44
- Not Travolta's. That looks like a trainwreck. -- nm - Shaun Jan 12, 10:35 5
  - Uh, it looks like the best of the rest of them. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:37
  - it's from the house of Besson. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:36 3
    - it's the only reason I'd consider it. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:39
    - All I see is Travolta, bald, with a huge goatee trying to be some badass spy ass kicker. It's laughable. Plus his voice sucks. -- nm - Shaun Jan 12, 10:38 1
      - Until I saw the long trailer, I agreed. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:41
also, the LiLo career arc to try for is Drew Barrymore. - Reagen Jan 12, 10:32 6
- (Poison Ivy) -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:34 1
  - Dang. No "Yup" or "This?" I can't be the only person here who saw Poison Ivy. -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:40
- this is good. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 10:33 2
  - Have I mentioned the drink I named after her? - Reagen Jan 12, 10:40 1
    - I'm actually going to order that. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:43
- "Aligators in the sewers" -- nm - oblique Jan 12, 10:33
So I waswatching old Simpsons eps last night and one featured RDJ in a crazed shootout with police while Mel Gibson was universally liked - Roger More Jan 12, 10:30 1
- that would be awesome. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:32
I think David is right that both Fillion and Downey Jr. would be a risk for such a big role. - Inigo Jan 12, 10:30 10
- I haven't even heard of Cowboys vs Aliens, so I have no idea why this is engendering so much debate. - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:35 3
  - Dano posited that a name would be needed for this. I agreed because people won't know what this is so lead recognition would be necessary for the - Diva Jan 12, 10:37 1
    - yes, that's probably true. I agree that Fillion isn't a big enough name to get that movie the awareness the producers would want. - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:39
  - Me neither, except Jon Favreau is directing it - con_carne Jan 12, 10:36
- RDJ has got to be one of the hottest names for casting right now. Am I missing something here? -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:33 5
  - He has two hit franchises, putting him on par with Orlando Bloom - Roger More Jan 12, 10:36 1
    - or Hugo Weaving. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:40
  - I think the comparison being made is a pre-Iron Man RDJ. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 10:36 2
    - *headdesk* So? Even then, he still had more "brand awareness" than Fillion. - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:38 1
      - So? I'm not arguing the point here. I agree. - znufrii Jan 12, 10:40
Schefter reports Jack Del Rio likely to stay with Jacksonville. Steve Mariucci may be the next target for USC. -- nm - David Jan 12, 10:30
Well, we just broke up. So much for that... -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 12, 10:29 9
- Ah, didn't know it was an SO. Sorry about the BB comment. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:37
- That was rebound guy. You use them as place holders for awesome guy. -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jan 12, 10:36
- *gets a tub of chocochunkamumka ice cream and a spoon* -- nm - CQ Jan 12, 10:32
- ah well -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:32
- And you're ?? okay, not okay, somewhere inbetween okay? -- nm - OAE Jan 12, 10:31
- He wasn't your lunch date, was he? -- nm - David Jan 12, 10:30
- on to the next one! -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:29 2
  - Now I have a Jay-Z earworm. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:30 1
    - Uh, Foo Fighters. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:36
The Rock, Sam Jackson, Will Ferral, Mark Wahlburg and Derek Jeter...star in The Other Guys... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 12, 10:27 9
- I hate Derek Jeter more because I found out he gets to marry Mika Kelly (spelling?) -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jan 12, 10:30
- Reading the Jeter thing has me laughing here. - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:29
- There's a cop who lives in my building who looks a lot like Derek Jeter. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:28 6
  - I think Jack Dawson is making plans to visit you now. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:29 5
    - [deleted] 4
      - *pouts* -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:44
      - I thought w/ him being a Yankee that covered a lot of sins. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:33 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Fair enough! -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:40
Per Ausiello, Modern Family, Cougar Town, and The Middle have officially been renewed. -- nm - Ender Jan 12, 10:24 2
- It wouldn't surprise me if they went ahead and renewed Modern Family through 2015. -- nm - David Jan 12, 10:24 1
  - *pushes you out of the room with a chair* BACK! -- nm - oblique Jan 12, 10:32
*laughing* I was getting Nathan Fillion mixed up with Nathan Lane and thinking you all were bat shit crazy people. -- nm - CQ Jan 12, 10:22 3
- [deleted]
- Birdcage Assemble! -- nm - Nathan Lane Jan 12, 10:23 1
  - seriously, I was picturing Lane in a cowboy hat, heh -- nm - CQ Jan 12, 10:24
some WWE inspired possible celebrations for the NFL - tRuMaN Jan 12, 10:21
So in 2015 Lindsay Lohan will have her huge comeback breakthrough as Wonder Woman. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:16 20
- One thing about LiLo. is I don't think she has done a good job of protecting her brand as a talented actress. - loosilu Jan 12, 10:18 13
  - Her family situation hurt her as much as anything. - David Jan 12, 10:22 1
    - yeah the video of her mom blowing some paps didn't help. and daddy releasing tapes sure didn't help. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:28
  - She was a child. What "brand" do child actors really have? -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:22 4
    - same as adults. you wouldn't cast Abby Breslin in Hannah Montana. or Miley Cyrus in Little Miss Sunshine -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:26
    - Isn't there always a kid actor who's taken seriously? See: Dakota Fanning. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 10:23 2
      - And Anna Paquin, sure, but I think they are exceptions, rather than the rule -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:27 1
        
        Tatum O'Neal, Jodie Foster, Haley Joel Osment, etc, etc. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 10:27
  - her "brand" was Disney's 'It Girl' - znufrii Jan 12, 10:21
  - in other news, clouds determined to be the source of rain. -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:20
  - she was never seen at the same talent level, actingwise, as RDJ. she was a product of the Disney factory -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:20 1
    - I think this is true as well. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 10:21
  - Machete is actually a good move for her. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:20
  - Yeah, people have forgotten how good she was circe 2003-04. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:20
- Unless she does what I want her to, which is to just go away. -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:18 2
  - ... to porn. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:19 1
    - I ain't screwing that. I gotta worry about my safety, man. -- nm - TT Boy Jan 12, 10:20
- assuming she gets a full blood transfusion... now. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:18
- She Hulk -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:17 1
  - hmm. hmmmmmm. I rather like that. If it was a refocused Lindsy. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:29
I think we ID'ed the 3 people who watched Down Periscope overall on B2. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:16 6
- I watched Down Periscope *and* McHale's Navy -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:30
- i found it silly funny -- nm - Capstern Jan 12, 10:27 2
  - I hate how much I laugh when... - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:37
  - *nods* -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 12, 10:28
- "Welcome aboard!" -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:17 1
  - "now call me crude if you want to..." -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:20
Alex Gibbs to Seattle is *huge*. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:16 1
- Joe's going to be pissed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:17
i love it when musubi shows up in threads just to mock david's crazy - fatsquatch Jan 12, 10:15
Nathan Fillion < LiLo < RDJ, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:14 21
- Fillion is in that same place Harrison Ford and Tom Selleck were. It's just a question of which way it plays out for him. -- nm - David Jan 12, 10:18 16
  - I see him more with a Tom Selleck television focused career. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:21 6
    - He can be Monica's older boyfriend on the inevitable Friends reboot. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:22 5
      - or he could be dating Monica and Chandlers daughter. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:26
      - Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place! - musubi Jan 12, 10:24 3
        
        That was where I first noticed Fillion. (I wasn't a huge Reynolds fan then. He was too scrawny.) -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:26 2
        
        I agree - not even a blip on the radar -- nm - Pippy Bells Jan 12, 10:30 1
        
        I actually watched that show regularly and wasn't hot for any of the guys until they brought in Fillion. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:32
  - I can't wait for Mr. Baseball 2. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 10:21
  - Thank god he didn't get The Spirit, then. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:19
  - Three Browncoats and a Baby -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:18 6
    - Perhaps ironically, that Selleck film inflation adjusts to around $315 million, almost exactly Iron Man numbers. -- nm - David Jan 12, 10:21 5
      - That was all Guttenberg. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:23 1
        
        nah...it was all Nimoy. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:25
      - That one's on the Stonecutters. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:23 1
        
        ~ we do! we do! ~ -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:26
      - /nods -- nm - Alanis Jan 12, 10:21
- Nathan Fillion < LiLo < RDJ < Stitch -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:14 1
  - *ding* -- nm - TFox Jan 12, 10:15
- In terms of brand name recognition, I'd say yes. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 10:14 1
  - Yep ... in terms of talent, the ranking is (in descending order) ... - Beryllium Jan 12, 10:18
Captain Hammer! -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:13
