On the topic of things I should know about STers, do all of the BOPs post here? - Fuzzy Feb 5, 19:41 6

  - shows how long it's been for me. I have no idea who that is. -- nm - Inigo Feb 5, 20:00 2

      - Awesome. Glad it's going well. -- nm - Inigo Feb 5, 20:12
- He does not post here. (He is awesome, though.) -- nm - Callisto Feb 5, 19:42 1
  - That's a shame. And I agree, his stuff is really good. I loved his review of The Lovely Bones. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 5, 19:44

I really hate Access 2007 -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 19:31 3

- the Office 2007 popup says it is too powerful for my computer - lone canadian leafs fan Feb 5, 19:41
Kevin Spacey has a solid Southern accent in both A Time to Kill and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Ithink. - JenBro Feb 5, 19:27 7
- His Savannah accent in Midnight is atrocious. it's not even a hard accent to do. As far as I'm concerned, he did generic southern in both. - Trish, ice and chill queen Feb 5, 19:55 5
  - I actually couldn't watch midnight because of that accent. I kept laughing. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 20:09 1
    - wow I guess I don't know my Southern accents from a hole in the wall ... heh heh - JenBro Feb 5, 20:15
  - Did any of the cast of Midnight have a good accent in your opinion? Eastwoods daughter perhaps? Jude Law? - JenBro Feb 5, 20:06 2
    - Not really. 99% of the time, actors use a sort of generic hillbilly or generic Atlanta accent. Unless it's a really good movie, I get annoyed. I think - Trish, ice and chill queen Feb 5, 20:16 1
      - at the risk of being wrong (again) - it's the generic hill billy super Southern accent I don't like and I guess that's why I found Spacey's so much - JenBro Feb 5, 20:26
- he should be on TV with that accent -- nm - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:30
$7.50 wound up being the average movie ticket price in 2009 according to NATO. - David Feb 5, 19:26

- two - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:28 1
  - dammit - dj roomba Feb 5, 19:30

  - And 3 total -- nm - Dano Feb 5, 19:34
fuzzy, I did two years at penn state and then got relo'd to MD for work. - amandize Feb 5, 19:22 1
- Well if you ever wander over this way, let me know. -- nm - Fuzzy Feb 5, 19:24

  - What am I, chopped liver? -- nm - Shirtless Channing Tatum Feb 5, 19:34 5
    - No. The chopped liver can emote. - Will Hunting Feb 5, 19:37 3
      - Have you seen A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints? -- nm - Dano Feb 5, 19:43 2
        
        Nope. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 5, 19:56
        
        that movie was so... immerseful of its nature. I felt like I was living in that neighborhood while I was watching it. -- nm - amandize Feb 5, 19:51
    - No, but you are burnt penis. -- nm - Dano Feb 5, 19:36
  - Nobody told me Scott Porter was in Bandslam! -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:34 3
    - I'm fairly certain I did. -- nm - Dano Feb 5, 19:35 2
      - Not enough for it to make an impact! -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:36 1
        
        I posted from the private screening I had midnight opening day. BTW, Scott Porter is in The Good Guy. -- nm - Dano Feb 5, 19:39
"Should I buy an iPad" decision tree. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 5, 19:18 [Image] 5
- This truly is a case of history repeating itself from the iPhone. -- nm - David Feb 5, 19:18 4
  - The difference is, when the iPhone came out, there wasn't anything really like it. No when the iPad gets released, there will already be an iPhone. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 5, 19:55 3
    - There wasn't anything like a smartphone when the iPhone came out? -- nm - David Feb 5, 20:09 2
      - There was a Windows Mobile smart phone. It had neither the speed nor elegance of the iPhone. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 20:20 1
