- Caprica? -- nm - Facto Mar 7, 22:18 3
  - Nope -- I'm watching Caprica, too, though. - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 22:20 2
    - It's a great series, but I never saw the fourth season. I heard it was disappointing? Haven't started on Caprica either - I must play catch-up. - Facto Mar 7, 22:23 1
      - Disappointing like a fox! -- nm - David Mar 7, 22:24
I'm not sure if ST can help on this one, has anyone here used a PCI-Express RAID controller? Thoughts? -- nm - Karl Mar 7, 22:07 1

    - Not that bad a movie, but it wasn't great. - Will Hunting Mar 8, 04:50
    - One of your nuttier positions. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 8, 04:41
    - The only reason Crash won is 'cause all the Oscar voters were either in it or had a best friend in it. - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 21:59 7
      - Crash and Brokeback were both inexplicably overrated. -- nm - David Mar 7, 22:00 6
        
        Rank those two and Gladiator, best to worst. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 7, 22:05 2
        
        Hmm, I don't -hate- Gladiator the way that Kim does. I don't care for it, but it's the best of those three. - David Mar 7, 22:08 1
        
        I was curious as I've only seen Gladiator of those three. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 7, 22:15
        
        four years ago tonight i was in the comfort inn silverlake watching it all happen on tv - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 22:03 2

- Am I wrong? -- nm - Qale Mar 7, 21:55 8
  - About Modern Family? -- nm - David Mar 7, 21:58 7
    - Can't technically be wrong about that. I mean, maybe I should be watching it. - Qale Mar 7, 22:00 5
      - definitely. One of the best recommends i've got from here. -- nm - mud Mar 7, 22:04
      - Not watching it means you are wrong about it. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 7, 22:01
      - You. Must. Watch! -- nm - David Mar 7, 22:01 2
        
        We'll see what I can do. -- nm - Qale Mar 7, 22:03 1
        
        It's well worth watching (I think). -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 22:03
    - that was a brilliant ad. I also liked the Castle ad :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 7, 21:59
Ooopss... I forgot that Bigelow is a graduate of my school. - celedhring Mar 7, 21:50
I do have to say that Brian Geraghty looks pretty damn hot in a tux. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 21:42 11
- uh-huh -- nm - ty97 Mar 7, 22:07

    - bwah! -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 21:52
  - jeez that's ancient -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 21:49 4
    - for me at 23, that's borderline. - MDH Mar 7, 21:50 3
      - if he's hot to you, then isn't he hot to you? - ty97 Mar 7, 22:20 1
        
        I can tell I'm attracted to Kathryn Bigelow, and she's well over 20 years my senior... - Facto Mar 7, 22:22
      - So you'd definitely nix George Clooney? Mmm'okay - Facto Mar 7, 22:01

  - Just put it in my Netflix queue. - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 21:50
Twitter says that Bridges did a "ups and downs...strikes and gutters" line in the press room. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 7, 21:42
so what wiggums is saying is that i gotta get nekkid and do some streaking - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 21:41 13
- That's still only one out of thousand of guys whose junk she's seen to win an Oscar. - David Mar 7, 22:04 7
  - Yeah, but he's one of the few few where there was neither hanky, nor panky. nm - ralph wiggum Mar 7, 22:11
  - i never thought of that angle. i guess what i really need to do is just have wiggums see me nekkid -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 22:06 5
    - I can't decide which of you to shiv here. -- nm - David Mar 7, 22:10 4
      - easy answer = both :) -- nm - JenBro Mar 7, 22:11 3
        
        Clearly, I've lost my edge. -- nm - David Mar 7, 22:21 2
        
        yeah, that's it - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 22:22 1

- God help us. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 7, 21:41
I was expecting an upset win for A Serious Man when everyone put it at #2 because it had no chance and they wanted to help their top pick win. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:36
I think secretstalker might have taken up my entire newsfeed on facebook with his tweets -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 21:35 6
- I blocked him long ago because of that. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:38 4
  - How do I do this? TIA -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 21:41 2
    - Drag the cursor over one of the updates from him in your news-feed. Locate "Hide" option in upper right hand corner. Choose hide for the person. - Facto Mar 7, 22:10
    - Stop following him? -- nm - oblique Mar 7, 22:08
  - Same. If I want your twitter feeds, I'll subscribe to them. -- nm - Fuzzy Mar 7, 21:39
- yeah, he'll do that to ya - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 21:36
i went on a bit of a hike today - here's some photos that rich took -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 7, 21:30 [flickr] 1
- Very nice!! I just realized our next field trip is the weekend after our annual archaeo. conference.... - MojaveMeg Mar 7, 21:44
2.5 billion sure is a LOT of comfort food for a losing flick though. Many many thought to be deserving flicks don't have anywhere near that. -- nm - Qale Mar 7, 21:30 3
- I also suspect that years from now we'll still be talking about the impact Avatar had on the way Hollywood movies are made, esp. 3-D. - Fuzzy Mar 7, 21:44 1
  - And it created a fandom. A language. I mean, it'll keep on going. So, while it's a loss, it'll be fine. I believe Cameron when he said he hoped his ex - Qale Mar 7, 21:48
- Also from BOP: Oh wow. Strange Days. Totally forgot about that one. I *loved* it, was always recommending it when I worked at a video store. -- nm - Qale Mar 7, 21:33
Judging by the ST Oscar pool picks, I'd say Adapted Writing and Sound Editing were the biggest upsets. -- nm - Max Mar 7, 21:24 1
- Yeah Adapted killed me, couldn't believe the shut out went to Up In The Air. -- nm - Buzz Mar 7, 21:30
Night all. Very funny boards tonight. -- nm - Redmond Mar 7, 21:19
So ST Best Picture Results. By straight vote: Avatar and Up (tie). By preferential vote: The Hurt Locker -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:18 27
- The Hurt Locker won the preferential vote by dominating the #2 spot. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:39 4
  - And really in this case, I barely had to dip into the #3 slot. So the rankings below #3 were completely irrelevant and #3s were mostly irrelevant. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:42 3
    - so if avatar and hurt locker were head to head with all other picks ignored, which was higher on most ballots? -- nm - dogbert Mar 7, 21:44 1
      - Hurt Locker -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:49
    - even if it were only 5 nominees, i still wouldn't like preferential voting - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 21:44
- FWIW: My University did an Oscar Poll (based off the math calcs) In order: Precious and Hurt Locker were the top 2 -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 21:24
- What's the overall rank? -- nm - David Mar 7, 21:23 5
  - Rankings inside. - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:31 4
    - I think the above mirrored the Academy voting. - Tim Mar 7, 21:47 1
      - Hmm.. Different stuff and all, but Bigelow won BD and it was 5 noms with straight vote.. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 7, 22:20
    - Nice. Thanks for doing that. How many votes? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:32 1
      - 34 -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:33
- Huh. Interesting. - Callisto Mar 7, 21:22 4
  - I agree with your last line. I think "Up" is even a better film overall. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:24 3
    - Up is my favorite of 2009, so no argument there. :) -- nm - Callisto Mar 7, 21:26 2
      - "Surprise." -- nm - David Mar 7, 21:26 1
        
        Does it surprise anyone that I agree? (NM) - Marlowe Mar 7, 22:18
- I wouldv'e voted Inglorious. But I'm happy the Academy picked a movie in my top 3 this year. -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 21:20
- Does preferential mean the same scoring system they used for the Oscars? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:20 8
  - My oscar-geek friend and pro mathematician told me that system heavily favored Hurt Locker. -- nm - celedhring Mar 7, 21:21
  - Yes -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:20 6
    - Interesting. That was my only fear when I read up on the new voting. - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:21 5
      - Or the fact that it wasn't one of the best movies this year? - MDH Mar 7, 21:23 4
        
        Of the ten nominees, it was by and far the best movie of the year. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:25 3
        
        You forgot this: ", IMO".. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 7, 22:21
        
        Everyone has their opinion. - MDH Mar 7, 21:26 1
        
        you watched the movie, so how would you know that it's bad? -- nm - spawn s.i. Mar 7, 21:29
I thought the dance troupe was great, but I still haven't figured out what posessed the producers to include them in the show... -- nm - znufrii Mar 7, 21:15 4
- Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. -- nm - Qale Mar 7, 21:20
- That was the part of theshow where I said, "I'm over it." -- nm - MDH Mar 7, 21:17
- Um, Adam Shankman was in charge. -- nm - The Exploding Dano Mar 7, 21:17
- someone was channeling the old days of the Debbie Allen Dance Numbers -- nm - JenBro Mar 7, 21:16
ok, I can go to bed now. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 7, 21:14
This just in: Spawn still dumb. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:14 11
- me thinks you all protest too much ... how many weeks did you BEG for him to get his set up done to play games with all of you? -- nm - JenBro Mar 7, 21:18 5
  - (still not done.) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:19 4
    - It was done, for a few weeks then the x-box broke. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 21:28 2
      - Probably when you tried to play your copy of Avatar. It was trying to tell you to go see it in 3D at the theater, not on your XBox. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:30 1
        
        hilarious -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 7, 21:31
    - you're kidding? I take it back ... maybe he is ... umm .... well ... "challenged" ? -- nm - JenBro Mar 7, 21:23
- Maybe.. But he has good taste.. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 7, 21:15 2
  - In women only. And maybe friends. But movie wise: dumb. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 7, 21:16
  - He once watched 3 minutes of The Godfather -- nm - Redmond Mar 7, 21:16
- He has no friends because his IQ is too low. -- nm - Redmond Mar 7, 21:14 1
  - You ae new here because the IQ game has already played on TT. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 21:29
