- Our next assignment should be to watch The Deep End and figure out which character is Dawson. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:06
now that musubi watched primer, he can go back in time and un-watch shaolin soccer...nm - x Jan 14, 10:01 31
- No I can't, because I saw Shaolin Soccer before I saw Primer. Dummy. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:06 2
  - i'd have to consult dano's flowchart to know if this is correct -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 14, 10:06 1
    - spoilers - Dano Jan 14, 10:08
- sweet. primer is on instant watching -- nm - oblique Jan 14, 10:03 21
  - Seriously. Not that I'm complaining, but why is this movie catching on here *now*? -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:05 20
    - Chuck Klosterman wrote about it in his new book, which is part of it, I think. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:06 8
      - This was my tipping point. I've been meaning to watch it for a while. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:08 7
        
        Oh. And if you liked that, have you seen Moon? Not exactly the same, but similar low fi sci fi. -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:09 4
        
        i liked the idea, actors + setting in that one. i did not love the screenplay...nm - x Jan 14, 10:17 2
        
        I kept expecting it to become grander. It's a very good episode of the Twilight Zone, though. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:19 1
        
        yeah, agreed. i liked it, i just think it doesn't go much of anywhere after a while.....nm - x Jan 14, 10:22
        
        I have not, but if I can find it online a la Primer, I definitely will. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:12
        
        So now I see. In musubi's world Klosterman is greater than Dano. - Dano Jan 14, 10:08 1
        
        Well, he did play football, a real sport.... (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:10
    - I just keep hearing you all talk about it so now I'll watch it. Never heard of it before -- nm - oblique Jan 14, 10:06 10
      - *ding* -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:08 9
        
        Word of warning, I can totally see some people absolutely hating the movie. - musubi Jan 14, 10:12 8
        
        are *not* those people. What the f*** is with my brain? - musubi Jan 14, 10:15
        
        i didn't hate it. i just didn't find the plot compelling enough to try and figure out wtf happened -- nm - fatsquatch Jan 14, 10:14 2
        
        At about the twenty minute mark, I was still in "ok, i'm waiting for it...." mode. i figured it got better. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:15 1
        
        I can totally understand that. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:17
        
        Now I'm curious what criteria you are making that determination by. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:14 1
        
        Well, beyond my brain fart, I think it takes a certain ammount of willingness to accept the slow pace at the start of the film. - musubi Jan 14, 10:20
        
        Are you calling TFox and kilbo stupid? -- nm - Dano Jan 14, 10:13 1
        
        Well, I wasn't intending to in that particular post, if that what you're asking. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:16
- It's three and a half if you add in Kung Fu Hustle. -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 10:01 5
  - I had to turn Kung-Fu Hustle off, because everyone I was watching it with absolutely hated it. - Beryllium Jan 14, 10:02 4
    - It's ok. It's not as good as Soccer, but it's ok. -- nm - TFox Jan 14, 10:20 1
      - I'm pretty sure you all are trying to trick me into another hyde owing me life situation. (nm) - musubi Jan 14, 10:22

So ... my employer is going to match Haiti donations. And the Canadian government is going to match it as well. - Beryllium Jan 14, 09:51 5
- that's great re: matching, but I think only yours might be matched. - b. Jan 14, 09:56 1
  - yeah, that sounds accurate. Oh well :) Still, $60 is better than a mere $20 :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 14, 09:57

- And I don't think I ever asked....What's your read on Smith and the Wild Rose true potential? Another ADQ at best? Actual threat to form gov't? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:50 3
  - RE: the 3 vs 6 days thing - Reagen Jan 14, 09:57 1
    - That's fair. I'm with you on that. I just thought an argument could be made that a person could accept six days in 2002, but feel different today. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:11
  - There's a long way to go before another election, so it's difficult to say. Wild Rose is kind of amorphous "I'm someone else!" "He's right!" movement - Reagen Jan 14, 09:54
re:B2 - I amused myself by going to Dr. Tron and entering username "JoeMetz" keyword "McNabb" - crash davis Jan 14, 09:48

      - plus Moon played in 94 games in the CFL -- nm - zork Jan 14, 10:15

UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel said on Dan Patrick's radio show Thursday morning that offensive coordinator Norm Chow will remain with the Bruins. - David Jan 14, 09:43 4
