Alice in Wonderland: C. I wish it could keep the Burton visuals but have the narrative strength of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 11, 22:19 2
- well there's a movie I never expected to be associated with narrative strength. not that I've seen it. -- nm - mafic Mar 11, 22:20 1
  - Actually I'd think that's Columbus' weakness. He's TOO into narration to let the characterization to shine. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 23:49

    - Well, if he really wanted that oscar, maybe he should have reached for it. - Beryllium Mar 11, 23:12
    - great, more sweeping panoramics with choirs & trumpets. -- nm - mafic Mar 11, 21:56
    - I can probably come up with 40 minutes of stuff he should take out. -- nm - Dano Mar 11, 21:56 1

- Oh. This will be good work music tonight. -- nm - Dano Mar 11, 21:43
- You remind me how much I hate dance music. -- nm - Mop Mar 11, 21:39 1
  - I'm glad to make any impact, even a negative one. >>_ -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 21:44
- Doing some research, 10 out of 14 of the songs are gaining in years. - Qale Mar 11, 21:21
- -20 points for #7 (unless it was really produced well). -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 21:11 1
  - It was a life saver. I made the mistake of going into Pirates without hearing the whole thing beforehand and found myself screwed on how to get out. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 21:13
- I know nothing about this, but i'd add in some Chuck Berry or a Beatles rocker -- nm - peglegpete Mar 11, 21:06 1
  - Pretty sure an authentic Beatles remix would be impossible due to rights. It'd have to be bootlegged. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 21:15
ohhh Sunshine on Syfy. Love this movie -- nm - Jovian Mar 11, 20:59
Mountaineers! -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 20:35

- the fitship thing is usually more expensive more convenient if you do a lot, get tyvick envelopes tshirts dont need packing -- nm - z-droid Mar 11, 21:21
- If it fits, it ships! -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 20:53 1
  - If the box fits, you musta ship. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 20:54
- $5. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 20:37 21
  - what about for a combined order (2 shirts)? -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 20:38 19
    - $8 -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 20:39 14
      - *wipes a tear* You sweet, generous man -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 20:41 13
        
        When you only have to pack one box, it helps. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 20:44 12
        
        that's my thinking. I'd rather encourage people to combine. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 20:44 11
        
        if they combine and they are just shirts, then maybe six bucks. Use the USPS boxes... - Remlik Mar 11, 20:50 10
        
        yep, just shirts. thanks. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 20:54 9
        
        what? no beer coozies? -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 21:07 8

        NO! -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 21:13 5

        No one should be quaffing our fine brews from the bottle. - loosilu Mar 11, 21:34 3
        
        that's why you make the other stuff! -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 21:42 2
        
        buy your own crap! -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 21:43 1
        
        oh ... you mean the merch? - loosilu Mar 11, 21:45
    - $10, obvie -- nm - Beryllium, who hates shipping :) Mar 11, 20:38 3
      - (I view shipping fees as a deterrent ... means less work for me, I don't have to pack stuff up and send it! :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 20:39 2
        
        So you don't want your auctions or whatnot to sell? -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 21:01 1
        
        he's targeting a particular subset. rich, lazy, and stupid. -- nm - mafic Mar 11, 21:05
  - I'm going with your answer. :) -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 20:37

- try writing trivia for that show. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 20:49 2
  - I'd rather let groiny ear fuck me. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 11, 20:53
  - I'm sure it's easy when you remember EVERYTHING. -- nm - loosilu Mar 11, 20:50
Mentalist spoils. - loosilu Mar 11, 20:13 3
- *bends down and gives HAL a good look* (spoils) - Beryllium Mar 11, 20:16 2
  - heh. spoils. - loosilu Mar 11, 20:24 1
    - I wasn't watching it, I was doing other stuff :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 11, 20:25
oh, yippie. Perez Hilton will be at SXSW -- nm - ty97 Mar 11, 19:40 3
- Punch him in the wiener. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 20:08 2
  - I would, but don't want to have my hand amputated due to syphilitic gangrene -- nm - ty97 Mar 11, 20:11 1
    - Like Perez is ever a top. -- nm - Qale Mar 11, 20:20
David, crash wants to know if you want to try for the odst endure-vidmaster achievement. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 11, 19:28 1

Iowa Jima. -- nm - Max Mar 11, 19:28 1

who goes home on Idol? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 11, 19:26 6
- a monster -- nm - Dano Mar 11, 19:33
- spoiler - nubby Mar 11, 19:29 4
  - song choices really really matter - dunno why that's so hard for them to get. (not really spoilery, I think) - b! Mar 11, 20:59
  - spoil - G.waa Mar 11, 20:00 1
    - heh :) -- nm - nubby Mar 11, 20:20
  - thanks, now a friend will watch Survivor :) -- nm - peglegpete Mar 11, 19:30
hang tru, phone rang -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 19:22
I think we've got some baby poppin' and lockin' going on here. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 19:16
Looking into getting a storage locker to make room for baby stuff; any idea what the prices are like? - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 11, 19:15 8
- Before getting one, think about what you are going to put in it. - Spawn Mar 11, 20:07 6
  - We have an 800 square foot condo, and our closets are full of stuff ... we need the closets for baby stuff. - Beryllium Mar 11, 20:14
  - yep, and the cost of storing vs the cost of what's going in there. if it's furniture, it might be more economical to sell it now and rebuy whatever - Andie Mar 11, 20:09 4
    - Plus, the idea that later you will have less stuff and more room later is usually is improbable, and with a baby on the way an outright fantasy. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 20:12 3
      - the goal is to get a house some time in the next two years. 800 square feet is too small for two people and two indoor cats, before a baby -- nm - Beryllium Mar 11, 20:15 2
        
        The rent x 24 months is your equation. As Andie said, rally take a look at value and replacability. -- nm - Spawn Mar 11, 20:55 1
        
        I would say the real reason so many storage units are auctioned isn't cause the owner is broke but he's tired of paying for that junk -- nm - z-droid Mar 11, 21:27
- they vary with size. places like U-Haul rent them out if you want to see some numbers -- (link) - peglegpete Mar 11, 19:29
Larry David and Ricky Gervais? Alright Marriage Ref ya got me. Funny stuff. -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 19:11 11
- You, sir, are worse than Hitler. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 19:20 4
  - You know who else was worse than Hitler? -- nm - nubby Mar 11, 19:35 3
    - oddly enough, Hitler. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 19:41 1
      - Give the man a prize! -- nm - nubby Mar 11, 19:43
    - Pol Pot? -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 19:36
- I've got it set to record tonight. - Stephen Mar 11, 19:19
- In some ways, you and I are quite different. -- nm - David Mar 11, 19:15 4
  - *shrug* I'd watch Larry David read the telephone book. -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 19:17 3
    - I'd club Larry David to death with a phone book. -- nm - David Mar 11, 19:19
    - And people say *I* have low standards for entertainment ... -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Mar 11, 19:18
    - throw Gervais in and comedy ensues (plus Madoona isn't too shaby either) -- nm - Beaker Mar 11, 19:17
Survivor spoilers - David Mar 11, 19:06 5

      - Anybody but the last one you mentioned -- nm - amoxy Mar 11, 20:55
a 17 hour day in a television shoot? Perish the thought! -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 19:03 7
- They were working those hours to accommodate her request for time off to promote her new movie. they were filming all of her scenes for a few - jnine Mar 12, 02:54
- it's pretty long - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 19:05 5
  - And how much of that time did she spend relaxing in her trailer that day? - Stephen Mar 11, 19:07 1
    - shooting a one hour drama is like making a one-hour movie in six days - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 19:12
  - wow, so much time spent sitting around -- nm - Roger More Mar 11, 19:06 1
    - It's like 5-star luxury sweat shop. Oh the horror. -- nm - David Mar 11, 19:14
  - oh sure. If that's every day that's a problem in production, but it's gonna happen from time to time. -- nm - Reagen Mar 11, 19:06
two weeks -- nm - 16 & pixie Mar 11, 19:03
