You know, we're talking about Survivor exponentially more than the final season of Lost. Isn't that surprising? -- nm - David Mar 5, 10:35 12
- eh, I don't watch Survivor. Tried to get into it last season, but bleh -- nm - CQ Mar 5, 10:46
- This is the first season of Lost that really has me in "whatever" mode. - TFox Mar 5, 10:38 4
  - They dropped back and punted rather than going for it on 4th and 2. -- nm - David Mar 5, 10:39 3
    - You know what I really wanted to do at the end of this long journey? Not spend time with the characters I like, and meet a bunch of new fucks instead. - TFox Mar 5, 10:41 1
      - "You know what might work really well? A new Nikki and Paulo situation." -- nm - Carlton Cuse Mar 5, 10:43
    - spoiler? - Don Homer Mar 5, 10:40

  - Lost discussions have historically carried on for days around here. -- nm - David Mar 5, 10:38 4
    - They've decreased with each season it seems. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 10:41 3
      - For me...I've kinda given up on trying to guess what's going to happen. I'm fine to just wait to see now. - Jim Mar 5, 10:43 2

    - Wet Cushions -- nm - amoxy Mar 5, 10:01
Baseball's ugliest uniforms. Ever. -- (link) - mara Mar 5, 09:40 12
- Someone hates the 70s. Of course its mostly justified. -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 09:55 1
  - as opposed to now when you can barely tell the teams apart - 16 & pixie Mar 5, 09:59
- I always liked the Expos uniforms and they don'r have the Padres Camo jerseys -- nm - amoxy Mar 5, 09:54
- that has to be a proime example of what you might call "laidback journalism" - Danedukenuuk Mar 5, 09:49 1
  - Well, it *is* life.com ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:49
- That list doesn't exactly bring it ... I was expecting far more drama. :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:44 4

      - speaking of old jokes ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:47
    - #hugs #itsok -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:46
- That is an epically bad list. Several of those aren't bad at all, and are real head-scratchers that they there. Plus, not havin the White Sox shorts. -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 5, 09:42
- I don't know...I saw a replay the other day of the Padres in the series...those old shit-brown unis, I think, were worse than the Astros. -- nm - Jim Mar 5, 09:41
dear crash davis, - tRuMaN Mar 5, 09:38 1
- get a room -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 5, 09:46
Heh, what's more odd? The fact that growing weed is now called "illicit gardening", or the fact that he got a conditional sentence? :) -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:33

- I don't think the 4 acting categories have ever been so (seemingly) locked up before. Cinematography and original screenplay will be interesting. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 09:40 22
  - [deleted] 11
    - Interestingly enough, a cinematographer's group recently awarded 'The White Ribbon' with top honors. -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 09:52 6

        Is cinematography one of the awards that only cinematographers vote for or is it open to the entire Academy? -- nm - Diva Mar 5, 09:58 3
        
        entire academy. I think foreign film, best doc, and probably the shorts, are not open to all. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 10:00 2
        
        (and those are still technically open to all, you just had to see them all in official screenings) -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 10:00 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Eh. I could see any of 4 of the 5 cinematography noms winning. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 09:50 3

        I'm just talking about my prediction, not my personal choice. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 10:41
  - supporting actor is basically a lock for christoph, right? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:44 9
    - Yeah, the only actor category that has potential drama is Actress and that's minimal after this became Bullock's year. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 09:47
    - (fwiw, I picked Vera for best supporting actress, without having seen Up in the Air) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:45 5
      - I honestly don't know why she was nominated. Or Kenndrick. She's cute and all, but her acting (I thought) was bland. And (semi-spoiler) - JaxSean Mar 5, 09:52
      - Well, Bery's feeling saucy here giving everyone else in the category a free pick up on him. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 09:47 1
        
        I'll pick it up in the technical awards. *whispers off-camera* ... wait, what? they've been presented already? dammi! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:48
      - good luck with that -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 5, 09:47 1

    - Ayup. -- nm - Jim Mar 5, 09:45
    - correct. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 5, 09:45
- Hurt Locker, Bigelow, Bridges, Bullock. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 5, 09:38
- Easy - Jim Mar 5, 09:36
- blind side, tarantino, bridges, bullock. Crazy, right? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:36
Good News! The ugly legal situation I've been involved in is settling. And I'm getting $ - ceregon Mar 5, 09:30 2

Hey ML: I asked the wife about cutting sugar out of our diet. She replied "I would rather DIE." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 5, 09:15 6
- I have sugar in the cupboard somewhere but rarely use it. Given the option I buy sugar-free so about the only sugar I eat is the stealth variety. - MojaveMeg Mar 5, 09:32 4
  - It's hard to imagine cutting ALL sugar out of your diet. What, never eat fruit again? etc. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 5, 09:46 3
    - They usually "added sugar," so what occurs naturally is fine. The real problem is processed/packaged foods. The thing is, it's so easy to *cut back* - mara Mar 5, 09:49 2
      - Exactly. I (try to) eat a lot of fruit but nothing with 'added sugar.' -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 5, 10:09
      - if anything, our bodies *love* to process it. they're built for it. (that's part of the problem :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:50
