- His range is more limited, but it's really far from shot. I saw him at house of blues about 2 months ago and there's still a lot of power in it. - pmb Feb 8, 11:36 2

    - now post it for me! -- nm - Reagen Feb 8, 11:27 1
      - heh, I was about to post the exact same message :) -- nm - Beaker Feb 8, 11:27

What about worst commercials? Besides GoDaddy, that is. - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:13 22
- the beer ones. the doritos ones - mr. reliable Feb 8, 11:18 2
  - I think the problem with the Doritos ones was they were too short. If they had fleshed out the jokes they may have been better. -- nm - Max Feb 8, 11:21 1
    - If I understand correctly, they were user submitted concepts and Doritos unleashed them, shotgun style. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:22
- I know there was a very weird theme of people not wearing pants in the commercials. -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 11:17 10
  - Two of them, back to back. WTF? The CareerBuilder one worked, but the Dockers one didn't. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:18 9
    - The Dockers one clearly borrowed from the Nine Naked Men Walking Down the Street meme. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:18 8
      - short film, rather, not really a meme... -- nm - znufrii Feb 8, 11:20 1
        
        and yeah, I noticed the parallels as well. -- nm - znufrii Feb 8, 11:28
      - the what now meme? (you can't just make something up and slap 'meme' at the end of it.) -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 11:19 5
        
        Google "Nine Naked Men Walking Down the Street"... at home. NSFW. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:20 4
        
        the name of the film, iirc, is "heap of trouble" -- nm - znufrii Feb 8, 11:20 2
        
        Is it an advert? Are they selling something? I have no desire to revisit that video. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:22 1
        
        nope, it's just a short film someone made for sh!ts and giggles - znufrii Feb 8, 11:23
        
        no. - TFox Feb 8, 11:20
- Comcast's loser venom -- nm - stewie Feb 8, 11:14 1
  - Yes. They should have focused more on Beyonce. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 8, 11:20
- Boostwhatever -- nm - Max Feb 8, 11:14 3
  - Agree. (nm) - musubi Feb 8, 11:16
  - That one could have worked, except it recalled a cheese moment in pop culture no one cares to remember. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:15 1
    - the teaser, however, was pretty good. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 8, 11:16
- The Backup Plan was horrendous. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 8, 11:14

Did we know they're using a new method to tabulate the Best Picture winner at the Oscars this year? -- (link) - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:09 19
- It'd be a little more interesting if they would say what % of the vote the winner got for each award -- nm - stewie Feb 8, 11:14 3
  - I don't think they'll ever do that. If they keep that system and given the general incomprehension of the system in countries who operate first past - Loyola Feb 8, 11:17
  - I'm confident they'll never do this. Too many egos at stake. -- nm - Reagen Feb 8, 11:15 1
    - Yeah, probably, but it'd be interesting to know a blow out vs. a close win -- nm - stewie Feb 8, 11:17
- The UK is moving to pr in a few years too, iirc. -- nm - Loyola Feb 8, 11:12
- yes. -- nm - Diva Feb 8, 11:11

  - Neither is Olympic city voting. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:12 7
    - He's got you there, Jack. -- nm - Reagen Feb 8, 11:13 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        Olymipcs are more akin to voting for the pope. - znufrii Feb 8, 11:19
        
        convention style, until they get a majority. -- nm - Reagen Feb 8, 11:19 2

        "Presidential voting?.... ohhhh, you mean how they vote for the President? got it, i was confused." -- nm - Dawson si Feb 8, 11:22
        
        Asshole. -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 11:18
- Yes -- nm - Dano Feb 8, 11:10
- I heard it was goat intestines -- nm - Beryllium Feb 8, 11:10 2
  - But because of the earthquake, they can't get a real Haitian voodoo priestess to read the entrails. They're going Domenican, instead. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:12 1
    - I guess that means District 9 is a lock -- nm - Beryllium Feb 8, 11:12
Did we know that on hard numbers that last night beat M*A*S*H*? -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Feb 8, 11:04 2
- *kills a chicken...goes insane about it for a few weeks* -- nm - Peyton Manning SI Feb 8, 11:11
- but does that count 3D sales? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 8, 11:05
[deleted] 17
- yep...it slayed at that point. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 8, 11:10
- (sister?) -- nm - Max Feb 8, 11:07 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - *slaps you* -- nm - Jake Gites Feb 8, 11:12 1
      - heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Feb 8, 11:26
- Is there a strategy for when during the game an ad is most effective. - musubi Feb 8, 11:04 2
  - Your experience is not abnormal. Immediately after kick-off and half-time are went they have the most impact. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 8, 11:06
  - I've found that most of the best ads tend to be in the first qaurter in the past - Will Hunting Feb 8, 11:06
- Which ad was that? - Will Hunting Feb 8, 11:03 8
  - I think Abe Vigoda is getting short shrift in that commercial. That guy can take a hit! -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:11 6
    - after that commercial, two people rushed out of the room to Google if he was dead. - TFox Feb 8, 11:12 5
      - Nobody has a smartphone? -- nm - mara Feb 8, 11:24 2
        
        The could have texted KGB faster. -- nm - Dano Feb 8, 11:26
        
        i watched it with old people, who didn't know who The Who were. - TFox Feb 8, 11:24
      - You're not using the Abe Vigoda plugin? -- nm - Reagen Feb 8, 11:14
      - Exactly my thought. "He's still alive?!" -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 8, 11:13
  - [deleted]
Another one that's tricky is Best Picture: Avatar, or The Hurt Locker? - Facto Feb 8, 10:58 30
- Avatar, clean sweep. -- nm - Loyola Feb 8, 11:09 5
  - Other than the 6 big awards it's not nominated in. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 8, 11:13 4
    - Clean sweep of best pic and director. -- nm - Loyola Feb 8, 11:19 2
      - Bigelow will win Director. it's a tossup whether they'll go Hurt Locker for Pic also -- nm - mr. reliable Feb 8, 11:20 1
        
        I don't think it's a slam dunk for Bigelow, but I do think she's the favorite. -- nm - David Feb 8, 11:29
    - [deleted]
- The only way Avatar loses is if there is significant Cameron backlash. -- nm - David Feb 8, 11:05 7
  - But doesn't the Tom O'Neil-article itself make for a push towards The Hurt Locker among undecideds.. ? -- nm - Facto Feb 8, 11:30 3
    - No, it just lists some people who talk movies for a living who think The Hurt Locker will win. -- nm - David Feb 8, 11:32 2
      - A worthless read, then -- nm - Facto Feb 8, 11:33 1
        
        It's totally enjoyable if you just want to see the opinions of others. I happen to think 5 out of 6 of them are off-base on BP. -- nm - David Feb 8, 11:36
  - Avatar took so long to come to theaters because Cameron was waiting for the "I'm the king of the world!" backlash to blow over. -- nm - Mop (228 lbs) Feb 8, 11:06 2
    - yep, it wasn't waiting for the 3D technology to develop. it was this. -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 11:09
    - [deleted]
- UP FTW!!! (seriously though, THL deserves the win if we're comparing it to Avatar) -- nm - Buzz Feb 8, 11:05
- I saw The Hurt Locker friday and was disappointed. It's my least favorite amongst the 8 best picture nominees I've seen -- nm - Guigue Feb 8, 11:02
- I think the only aspect that really harms Hurt Locker is it's tiny box office. - Will Hunting Feb 8, 11:00 1
  - I'd take the field at those odds. -- nm - znufrii Feb 8, 11:16
- The Blind Side in a shocking upset. (nm) - musubi Feb 8, 11:00 4
  - If it wins BP the new system is already broken... - Mel Profit Feb 8, 11:30
  - with the preferential voting system, a split between Avatar and Hurt Locker could let a surprise slip in there - mr. reliable Feb 8, 11:04 2

  - And so it was at the Golden Globes this year, in favour of Cameron. I see your point, but isn't Cameron in a special position? Aren't people a little - Facto Feb 8, 11:06 1
    - You're assuming Hollywood isn't full of phonies :) -- nm - Roger More Feb 8, 11:09
- It's naive to think that only 2 out of 10 nominees have a shot. - Beryllium Feb 8, 11:00 1
  - [deleted]
- Oops... What did I just do -- nm - Facto Feb 8, 11:00 1
  - board breaker! -- nm - TFox Feb 8, 11:01
