        Believe me, any self-respecting snowboarder would be completely cognizant of the fact that they were in BC. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 23:00
- question: I haven't watched a single second of the Olympics yet, but I want to watch some clips tonight. Where to start? - Hotkiss Feb 26, 21:12 3

- I wish she'd make up her mind! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 26, 20:57
- Carly Simon is alive? - ty97 Feb 26, 20:56 2
  - Apparently she hasn't even made a statement - someone played the record backwards.. It's BS, a prank, someone's having fun... - Facto Feb 26, 21:02 1
    - See? I didn't think dead people could talk. - ty97 Feb 26, 21:04

Is Alice in Wonderland the first must see at midnight opening day film of 2010? -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 20:45 27
- no it's a rental -- nm - J Feb 26, 21:21
- Johnny Depp is now overrated. But Alice looks good, I'd pay to see it. Why all the hatey? -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 26, 21:11 8
  - The hatey is from people who can't score some weed. ;-) -- nm - con_carne Feb 26, 22:02
  - Because we learned our lesson with Willy Wonka. -- nm - Spawn Feb 26, 21:26 6
    - It's actually called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But hey, there are Tim Burton flicks I don't like either. Corpse Bride for instance. -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 22:03
    - And if that wasn't enough, it has the bonus hint of looking completely terrible. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 21:29 4
      - It looks like it's trying too hard, but I'm sure the Hot Topic crowd will turn it into a success. -- nm - Hotkiss Feb 26, 21:47 2
        
        Pretty sure even though they're trying to market to them, that crowd is still fully invested in Twillight. - Qale Feb 26, 22:04
        
        Yeah, I'm certainly not worried about them making money. Just not off me. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 21:53
      - yes on both counts. -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 21:30

- If you mean a movie not worth seeing, then yes. -- nm - Spawn Feb 26, 20:55 2
  - Now that I think about it, I feel asleep during Willy Wonka, and it was a 7pm sneak. -- nm - Spawn Feb 26, 21:08 1
    - You should have got a Wonka bar for a jolt of caffeine. -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 21:16
- Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm definitely seeing it opening weekend, but I'm not "midnight movie" jazzed about it. Though that could change. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 26, 20:49
- AIW is not even a must-see-in-theatres for me. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 20:46 9

    - Different strokes sweetie. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 20:50 3
      - They play Gary Colman television shows? Oh man you poor baby! -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 20:53 2
        
        Sorry I'm incredibly selective about what I see in theatres now. Avatar was the last movie I saw on the big screen. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 20:55 1
        
        Well, I guess at least with this one, you'll get it on DVD earlier than ever before. -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 20:57

        You guys woke the sleeping giant in the round robin... -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 20:38 6
        
        do your residents even have permission to cheer for the team during the match? i can't remember how long that gov't proclamation ran for. -- nm - TFox Feb 26, 20:40 3
        
        What does this even mean? - Shaun Feb 26, 20:42 2

"Recently launched iPhone app Grindr facilitates instant shags by homing in on the distance away of other dudes (in feet!) through GPS tracking." - ty97 Feb 26, 20:24 3
- That would be the single reason I would ever get an iPhone. - ReluctantCynic Feb 26, 20:24 2
  - whores. - ty97 Feb 26, 20:33 1
    - You're point being ... ? --nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 26, 20:38

David ... Geffen? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 26, 20:06 10
- I don't buy it. The song is clearly about someone she had been involved with previously and someone who sleeps with his friends' wives. - Fuzzy Feb 26, 20:33 1
  - She's always stated it's an amalgam of several persons she dealt with at the time - and that the apricot scarf was *not* worn by him - Facto Feb 26, 20:37
- he was enfant terrible of the 70s music scene in LA - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 20:11 6
  - That does not surprise me in the slightest. - ReluctantCynic Feb 26, 20:26 1
    - Btw, Joni Mitchell's 1974 song "Free Man in Paris" was *definitely* about him -- (link) - Facto Feb 26, 20:33
  - He was 29 at the time You're So Vain came out. How much clout could this guy, who forged a letter about college graduation, have, at that time.. ? - Facto Feb 26, 20:23 2
    - he founded his own record label (Asylum) when he was 27 and had already been managing bands like CSN for years at that point -- nm - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 20:27 1
      - What surprises me is that he attended 3-4 colleges/unis, no graduation, but taught business at Yale at 30... -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 20:31
  - "The apricot scarf was worn by Nick. Nothing in the words were refered to Mick." -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 20:18
- Well I hear he went up to Saratoga, and his horse it naturally won... -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 20:09
God of War in 5 minutes. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 26, 20:03
Bacon Fat Popcorn $4 -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 19:59 3
- With bacon, crispy sage, and parmesan. I'd start with that for sure :) - MojaveMeg Feb 26, 20:08 2
  - that menu is totally not WW approved. - ty97 Feb 26, 20:11 1
    - But popcorn *is* an approved snack :) - MojaveMeg Feb 26, 20:15
World of Warcraft - Feisty, foxy and female - Facto Feb 26, 19:54
I can stay awake for either this week's Burn Notice or Psych. which should I watch? -- nm - loosilu Feb 26, 19:51 9
- I'd pick Psych, as Fiona on BN annoys the crap out of me. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 20:08
- I'm thinking Burn Notice maybe had its last ep last week. Anyway, you're a big girl and capable of making your own decision. - Trish, Bodie lover Feb 26, 20:04 1
  - I need to post *something*. -- nm - loosi si Feb 26, 20:06
- next week is the Burn Notice season finale. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 26, 19:59
- What is Burn Notice? -- nm - Qale Feb 26, 19:54 3
  - something about firefighters, i think. -- nm - mara Feb 26, 19:55 2
    - Rescue Me doesn't cut it anymore.. ? -- nm - Facto Feb 26, 19:56 1
      - It's rescue me with *spies* -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 21:34
- both -- nm - Spawn Feb 26, 19:52
Hockey spoils - Shaun Feb 26, 19:51
Toews has been quietly awsome for the Games. You Chi-town folks should be happy have him. -- nm - Shaun Feb 26, 19:43
More trouble for Tiger - Facto Feb 26, 19:37 1

ty - Landmark Century Centre Cinema -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 19:25 3
- odd, I tried that exact zip code on fandango. - ty97 Feb 26, 19:27 2
  - Hopefully this works: -- (link) - kelly Feb 26, 19:29 1
    - Yep, that works. It looks like Fandango treats all the shorts as one show, while Landmark breaks it out into live/animated - ty97 Feb 26, 19:31
yo jones, did you watch 16 & Preggers? - jingoist pixie Feb 26, 19:24 2
