  - Hangar 18 is supposed to be at Wright Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. Project Blue Book was run from there, as well. - TWuG May 7, 08:54 3
    - I loved that tv show and wished Hangar 18 was better. -- nm - Remlik May 7, 08:55
    - see Spawn, this is how you answer a question. :) -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:55 1

All I know about Jaws 4 is that if some fucking shark starts killing my family off the last place I will go is the Caribean in a fucking sailboat - Beaker May 7, 08:45 1
- oh, but Mario Van Peebles is fantastic in it!!!!! - groiny May 7, 08:46
truman: Marvin Sapp? He's pretty popular. -- nm - MDH May 7, 08:43
Repost: Ika.org: Dogbert got nailed over night. some dude from REBEL. -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:40 5
- yeah I saw that, I'm waiting for Dogbert and Mop to show up -- nm - crash davis May 7, 08:43 1
  - Yeah, we need to hear from Dogbert before we do anything. -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 08:49
- maybe it was his blind date. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 08:40 2
  - heh -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:41 1
    - she really takes that game seriously. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 08:41
lyc, Halo Reach beta is adding new gametypes, and possibly a new map, today) -- nm - tRuMaN May 7, 08:39 7
- also, david, supposedly the no sound when using cameo is not a bug - tRuMaN May 7, 08:41 5
  - I don't like that decision but it's also happening randomly when I don't use camo. - David May 7, 08:42 4
    - Do our stats/accomplishments die at beta end or will they be there in the fall? -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 08:55
    - The no sound thing happened for the entirety of my first two matches in Reach. And I wasn't using the camo player; I was using Sprint. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:47
    - yeah, that is a glitch -- nm - tRuMaN May 7, 08:46
    - I will try it if there is a new map. But I am not going to play it much. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 08:44
- great, and I hope it does not completely mess up the normal HALO night. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 08:41

- Jason X if you don't count reboots or Bond movies. -- nm - Dano (186 lbs, no change) May 7, 08:54
- setting aside Bond, I think the highest for me is Live Free or Die Hard -- nm - prayformojo May 7, 08:43
- QoS (Bond), then Nemesis (ST), then TDK, then the Dead Pool (Dirty Harry) - Roger More in a bottle May 7, 08:42 1
  - oh, for the Star Trek franchise, the most recent I've seen is Star Trek -- nm - Roger More in a bottle May 7, 08:44
- Star Trek. (duh) -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:40 4
  - I was wondering that, but it is one series? Or does it split between TOS and TNG? -- nm - Roger More in a bottle May 7, 08:41 3
    - Each builds on what came before, so I say they count. -- nm - TWuG May 7, 08:42
    - Star Trek Nemesis was the tenth, Star Trek was the 11th ... -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:42
    - I call it one series as TNG is tied to TOS, no rebooting and in fact shares characters -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:42
- "Adrianne's Revenge" -- nm - prayformojo May 7, 08:39
- Depends...does Freddy Vs. Jason count as Friday 11? if not, Jason X, I guess. nm - Jim May 7, 08:38
- Saw is getting there - Hotkiss May 7, 08:37
- If James Bond doesn't count, Jason X. -- nm - David May 7, 08:37
- SW6 - Danedukenuuk May 7, 08:37
- Jason X. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 08:36
- James Bond -- nm - Inigo May 7, 08:36 4
  - [deleted]
  - ohh forgot that one -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 7, 08:37
  - probably for most people I bet -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:37
  - Actually if Bond's count then this is mine. QoS. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 08:37
- I think I saw Police Academy 7 (Moscow) - Will Hunting May 7, 08:36
A bit late, but this 3-minute ABCnews coverage of 420 in Santa Cruz this year is absolutely hilarious -- (link) - Hotkiss May 7, 08:35
Seeing as it's Ironman 2 day - nice ACDC mashup -- (link) - LMS May 7, 08:35
nmbPippy - Hotkiss May 7, 08:33 4
- I did not recall seeing it announced but then I tend to throw mail out that is not " important". -- nm - Epiphany May 7, 09:01
- One word, "Chase". - Love Machine May 7, 08:34 2
  - for all the Chase hatey here, I've never had a problem with them, really... -- nm - znufrii May 7, 08:38
  - dammnit and I always liked and recommended them. -- nm - Hotkiss May 7, 08:36
FYI - Erik easily makes the worst move in Survivor history. - Jovian May 7, 08:29 1
- I think both from this year are worse. - the wrong element, bad guy May 7, 08:45
Beaker from B2: I haven't got it touch with Nancy's husband yet. - Inigo May 7, 08:29 26
- just a thought, but I would think that getting involved on the other side could make things way dirtier than it is even now -- nm - Hotkiss May 7, 08:43 2
  - We regret things we do not do more than those we do. -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 09:01
  - You're right. It could. I'm not 100% on it, but it feels like something I need to do. -- nm - Inigo May 7, 08:55
- *backboarded the update* So sorry, man. Praying for better days and healin - g for the whole family -- nm - SyrDragon May 7, 08:40
- That is pretty great. Especially that it is the in-laws that are talking about doing it. -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 08:33
- My two cents: you should and you should also ask her to move out. - David May 7, 08:32 19
  - This is completely unsolicited advice on my part, please accept it as well-meaning, Inigo: Fight tooth and nail for custody - TWuG May 7, 08:49 1
    - After watching a fragment of Oprah yesterday, I agree completely. Stick a cork in that irrationality; be the check - and the balance. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:50
  - Actually yeah. I understand the whole "wait for her to get a job thing"...but the more I think about it. - Jim May 7, 08:45 3
    - I think it might make the whole thing too contentious... - Mel Profit May 7, 08:49 2
      - I agree (based on the abstract info I have). I understand Jim's response, but that's more an emotional response than a rational one. Just have to be - pmb May 7, 08:54 1
        
        and again my opinion is just one of many...it is in no way right. - Mel Profit May 7, 08:56
  - I can't kick her out legally. - Inigo May 7, 08:45 3
    - huh? nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 08:45 2
      - Both our names are on the title. It's her house too. I can ask her to leave, but can't kick her out. -- nm - Inigo May 7, 08:46 1
        
        Regardless of what anyone says here, you're in the best position to know what's best. Just try to focus on the end results you want as best you can - pmb May 7, 08:52
  - Well said, but (i hope Inigo doesn't find this too intrusive)... - Crimson Divamo May 7, 08:44
  - yup. sooner is better than later. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 08:44
  - I only agree 96%. - TFox May 7, 08:42 2
    - [deleted]
    - ROUND UP! ROUND UP!!! -- nm - David May 7, 08:43
  - Agree 100%. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 08:41
  - [deleted]
  - Agreed. -- nm - MDH May 7, 08:40
  - I agree with David here 100% - groiny May 7, 08:40
- word - but - Beaker May 7, 08:31
FWIW, I think Iron Man winds up #4 on that list and #3 in terms of opening weekends. - David May 7, 08:29 3
- I'm thinking around $65 million Friday and $150 million for the weekend. -- nm - Inigo May 7, 08:33 2
  - After I posted that, I immediately wondered if you would be the first to reply... - David May 7, 08:36 1
    - That is weird. Although if someone is talking box office openings here, there's a good chance I'll reply. -- nm - Inigo May 7, 08:41
Inigo, all the best. In the long run it's likely for the best. If there's anything I can do let me know. -- nm - pmb May 7, 08:29 1
- Thanks, pmb. I appreciate it. -- nm - Inigo May 7, 08:35
david should make sure that his PS3 works, Final Fantasy IX will be available on May 20th via the PSN -- nm - tRuMaN May 7, 08:28 3
- This was the first one (besides the 1st FF) that I played all the way thru. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 08:29
- Black Mage Bigotry War!!! -- nm - David May 7, 08:28 1
  - err, i may have misspoke, they now say May 20th for japan, not sure on the US date. -- nm - tRuMaN May 7, 08:28
Spain's economy edges out of recession -- (link) - Danedukenuuk May 7, 08:27
[deleted] 15
- Any where but there, he would be. -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 08:27
- Like I said a couple of weeks ago, he's like that guy on Survivor who basically stole a car. -- nm - David May 7, 08:27 13
  - who? -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:32 10
    - Dreamz. Here is the story if you've forgotten: - David May 7, 08:34 2
      - BTW, I really liked Earl but I had completely forgotten him until this moment. -- nm - David May 7, 08:37 1
        
        He's still working his strategy, I guess. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:39
    - Dreamz -- nm - Roger More in a bottle May 7, 08:33 6
      - I remember that name. I don't remember a car incident. -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:34 5
        
        Yau-Man (another contestant) won a truck at a reward challenge, and handed the keys to Dreamz. In exchange, if Dreamz won immunity, he'd give it to - Roger More in a bottle May 7, 08:36 3
        
        this should be in the running for dumbest Survivor move ever too. Gave away a truck just to get voted out. -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:38 2
        
        It's an anti-Russell move: the perfect play that didn't work out rather than an idiotic one that did. - David May 7, 08:39 1
        
        yau-man is kind of the antithesis of russell, I think -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:41
        
        ah, I remember now (read it on wikipedia) ... -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:35
  - [deleted] 1
    - I completely agree. He winds up earning over $100k per completion. - David May 7, 08:30
MC Hammer? -- nm - LMS May 7, 08:26
fwiw, after digging through amazon, i figure out who it was. no one on st was right. - tRuMaN May 7, 08:26 3
- Oooooh. He's great. nm - ralph wiggum May 7, 08:29
- Never heard of him, I don't think. -- nm - JaxSean (182 lbs) May 7, 08:29 1
  - i heard some of the songs on a local npr music show a couple of weekends ago, great stuff. -- nm - tRuMaN May 7, 08:30
FWIW, Iron Man 2 is 71% at RT. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 08:25 1
- That 29% was money well spent. -- nm - Bruce Wayne May 7, 08:28
Since David mentioned it on B2.....we saw the Sex and the City 2 commercial last night. Holy jeebus. - Will Hunting May 7, 08:25 20
- As bad as you think it looks, I think it's like feeding crack to an addict for the fanbase. That trailer is a winner from the studio standpoint. -- nm - Max May 7, 09:01
- the amount of CGI in this film blows Iron Man out of the water. -- nm - Remlik May 7, 08:39
- [deleted]
- It looks like Weekend at Bernies (chick edition). -- nm - pmb May 7, 08:33
- "I've never seen Jaws 3. By all accounts it was horrible. But I've seen the house that movie bought for me. And it is magnificent." -- nm - Michael Caine May 7, 08:27 7
  - Jaws 4 dummy. - Will Hunting May 7, 08:29 1
    - Whatever, Sir Michael and I have never seen Jaws 4 -- nm - crash davis May 7, 08:34
  - That is such a great quote. -- nm - David May 7, 08:28 4
    - Even though I forgot which number he was in - I think its one of the most honest Hollywood quotes ever. -- nm - crash davis May 7, 08:33 2
      - Michael Madsen has a very similar quote, but it comes off as a bit more whiney in text form :) -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 08:46
      - from one of the most honest Hollywood actors ever - Danedukenuuk May 7, 08:35
    - well it IS Sir Michael -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 7, 08:29
- I heard SJP wears a total of 60 different outfits in it. -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 08:27 6
  - the only way I'd go see this is if I got to watch her change into and out of the outfits. -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 08:31 5
    - Kristen Davis, yes. The other 3, hell to the no. - Will Hunting May 7, 08:32 2
      - agreed. Kim Catrell was hot 20 years ago, now she is kinda grossing me out. -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:36 1
        
        I didn't even recognize her in Ghost Writer until she talked. -- nm - David May 7, 08:38
    - ew -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:31 1
      - Word. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 08:32
- I think it relates to an old Krusty quote on the Simpsons "they drove a dumptruck full of money up to my house!" -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:26
65 million opening day -- nm - Love Machine May 7, 08:24 1
- 61 -- nm - Roger More in a bottle May 7, 08:30
