    - I don't know if BSG quite achieved the same critical mass, but The Sopranos definitely had this level of discussion - Reagen May 24, 13:49
- I wont count reality tv, cause it isnt something you invest years into one story line. so BSG or maybe the sopranos. -- nm - tRuMaN May 24, 13:47 1
  - yeah, I'd say Sopranos if we don't count reality television. -- nm - Callisto May 24, 13:49
- Arliss. -- nm - TFox May 24, 13:47 1

Can anyone recommend any DVD ripping freeware for the Mac? - Dano May 24, 13:40 1
- Mac the Ripper -- (link) - oblique May 24, 13:42

- Sadly, it would not have taken much to flip my opinion on the lack of answers completely around (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 13:35 21
  - What's one specific question you wish they had answered, and what would the answer have been in your mind? -- nm - znufrii May 24, 13:42 13
    - [deleted] 1
      - I've been watching it all of this season, where have you been? - znufrii May 24, 13:52
    - The first that comes to mind is (and pardon if this is too generalized) (spoilers) - oblique May 24, 13:45 3
      - That's a good place to start. - znufrii May 24, 13:51
      - to be honest, I think they answered your question, but not in the way you wanted - tRuMaN May 24, 13:46
      - I laughed very hard at - Reagen May 24, 13:46
    - Not having seen the finale, I have to admit that I'm worried that it makes such perfect sense to you. - TFox May 24, 13:44 6
      - One word for those disappointed at the lack of explanation: midichlorians - Dr.Vermin May 24, 13:48
      - If Mel, znu and I all agree... -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:44 4
        
        I'm not all unicorns about it but I'm fairly satisfied. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 13:46
        
        ...then it must have been far too simple to be a satisfying conclusion. -- nm - TFox May 24, 13:46 2
        
        don't ever buy a drum set, pal. -- nm - Mel Profit May 24, 13:47 1
        
        like you could ever hoist your nuts onto a drum. maybe if you stood on the spinny stool thing... -- nm - TFox May 24, 13:48
  - Not trying to war here, but someone of faith having such a problem with the unexplained is interesting to me. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:36 6
    - I thought the same thing... - Mel Profit May 24, 13:41
    - I really don't feel they provided enough information to hang my hat on - oblique May 24, 13:39 1
      - Hmm. I got the opposite from it. - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:41
    - this was my comment earlier on with him vs. Jax. :) -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:37 2
      - Dr Tron needs to learn to intuit. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:39 1
        
        "Kamik" means a boot made of sealskin. - Eskimo Vermin May 24, 13:45
- Exactly. When I called it the best TV ending, I meant it as in the way I felt after watching it. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:33
Robin Hood, B -- nm - con_carne May 24, 13:28
Okay, ST, where did I put the DVD case for The Messengers? Think, people, think! -- nm - David May 24, 13:28 20
- You people are useless. -- nm - David May 24, 13:46 3
  - two questions then. where is the cat? and where is the thing you were looking for this morning. - tRuMaN May 24, 13:48
  - Why don't you ask your friends Tom Brady and Mr. Webster? -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 13:46 1
    - Because I'm not spelling anything or completing a pass. Duh. -- nm - David May 24, 13:47
- The Messengers or The Messenger? -- nm - Dano May 24, 13:32 13
  - The Woody Harrelson one that's better than The Hurt Locker. -- nm - David May 24, 13:33 10
    - [deleted]
    - I finished this 10 minutes ago. - kelly May 24, 13:41 4
      - I'm surprised Ben Foster didn't get more awards season support. He was better than most of the Best Actor nominees. -- nm - David May 24, 13:42 3
        
        I watched it b/c of Harrelson - I don't think I've liked Foster in anything thus far. I think he's a *horrible* actor. - kelly May 24, 13:44 2
        
        I love LOVE Ben - can't wait for him to get an Oscar - he was memorable in 3:10 to Yuma -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 13:49
        
        I agree that he was better than Harrelson and I say that as a big fan of Woody Boyd. -- nm - David May 24, 13:46
    - Then you mean The Messenger. I don't know where it is. -- nm - Dano May 24, 13:35 3
      - No, they meant The Messengers and messed it up with the copyright office. -- nm - David May 24, 13:38
      - ...but The Messengers case is under your bed. -- nm - Dano s.i. May 24, 13:35 1
        
        No, I don't know where that one is either. - Dano May 24, 13:38
  - ...because depending on your answer, the DVD case is hiding in a totally different spot. -- nm - TFox May 24, 13:33 1
    - One is in the trash. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:35
- [deleted]
- you used it to return the midget porn flick you rented. -- nm - tRuMaN May 24, 13:31
Look around; can you construct some sort of rudimentary lathe? -- nm - Buzz May 24, 13:26 1
- in the kitchen. ..yes. ..i can use the blender paper towel holder...no problem -- nm - zdroid May 24, 13:45
i love Sam Rockwell. LOVE him. -- nm - Andie May 24, 13:19 9
- If you love him so much why don't you marry him?? -- nm - Don Homer May 24, 13:21 8
  - She will have to fight Leslie Bibb for him right now -- nm - eag May 24, 13:24 2
    - she's kind of a twig. I put $10 on Andie. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:25 1
      - Especially if it's a game of chance. -- nm - David May 24, 13:25
  - i actually told dave that he was my 'movie star boyfriend' after IM2 last week. - Andie May 24, 13:24 3
    - Well, that was a terrible example. - Will Hunting May 24, 13:32
    - He's the laughing stock in that film. It's like when Kim talks about how hot Colin Firth is when Shakespeare in Love is on. - David May 24, 13:26 1
      - IMO such a claim is not meant to convince others but instead a statement of the depths of fandom -- nm - JD May 24, 13:30
  - Take the Deal ! Take the Deal! -- nm - Studio Audience May 24, 13:23
Hooray! French Open spoilers, LYC. - Dano May 24, 13:17
Zappos-owned e-commerce site 6pm.com had a little pricing problem this weekend, where every product was marked down to $49.95. Zappos is eating the -- (link) - Don Homer May 24, 13:17 2
- For all the marketing they bought, they probably got off cheap -- nm - oblique May 24, 13:18 1
  - i dunno word gets out on tweet and you have a million pairs of manolos and coach bags on back order -- nm - zdroid May 24, 13:24
So um yeh Christina Hendricks very lovely lady - eag May 24, 13:13 14
- Were you fooled? I totally was - Epiphany May 24, 13:15 13
  - Not really - eag May 24, 13:21 11
    - Yeah, watching it "live" helped. - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:24 8
      - That was only back in 2002 - eag May 24, 13:26
      - say what? - tRuMaN May 24, 13:25 6
        
        Well, TT never talked about it then. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:29 5
        
        yes we did -- nm - tRuMaN May 24, 13:30 4
        
        Guess I was not on as much then? -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:31 3
        
        how the frek would i know, that was like 8 yrs ago. - tRuMaN May 24, 13:31 2
        
        Then I stand-by my comment. - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:34 1
        
        there was no ST then, yes, but your original comment was TT - tRuMaN May 24, 13:35
    - " OOoooo you are good" -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 13:23 1
      - That line ended a perfectly good setup. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 13:25
  - I likes the term a "special hell":) -- nm - eag May 24, 13:20
Sam Rockwell was *THE* best part of Galaxy Quest. "We gotta get outta here before they kill Guy." -- nm - David May 24, 13:11 20
- Rickman and Shaloub and Sigourney's boobs were better. - Will Hunting May 24, 13:16 12
  - Sigourney's old-ass boobs were not in the top 50 parts of that movie. -- nm - TFox May 24, 13:26
  - It's time like this when I remember how much you discredited Tom Brady. - David May 24, 13:18 10
    - "can you create some sort of rudimentary lathe?" -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:19 8
      - How was Galaxy Quest not a monster hit? -- nm - David May 24, 13:23 7
        
        they botched the ads to the point of criminal negligence. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:24 6
        
        that movie skated on dangerously thin suckage ice...it really could have gone bad quickly -- nm - zdroid May 24, 13:35
        
        It was also a Saturday release, IIRC. Christmas Day, I think. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 13:26
        
        You'll notice I still use this as the blueprint example when I talk about good movies betrayed by lousy marketing campaigns. -- nm - David May 24, 13:24 3
        
        yep. - Andie May 24, 13:30 2
        
        The Break Up fooled people into thinking it was a different movie than it was, but it was a pretty big hit. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 13:32
        
        I think the Break Up did exceedingly well considering. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 13:31
    - Before his 2nd Super Bowl....calling him Montana Jr was a tad premature. - Will Hunting May 24, 13:19
- You misspelled Rickman, but that is okay. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:14 4
  - I've never misspelled anything in my life. My name might as well be Webster as far as you are concerned. -- nm - David May 24, 13:16 3
    - I was trying to be nice instead of telling you how wrong you were, but if that is how you want it, okay. - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:18 2
      - Web. Ster. -- nm - David May 24, 13:18 1
        
        *watches George Papadapolis smack you down* -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:20
- I'm not sure if that can even be determined. So impossible to pick from him, Rickman, Enrico, and Shalhoub. -- nm - TFox May 24, 13:13
- "Guy, you have a last name." "Do I? DO I?!" -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:13
related to david's post at the top of B2, some servers at a Cheesecake Factory here were busted for credit card fraud to the tune of $117K - prayformojo May 24, 13:11 14
- amateurs -- nm - NYC cabbies May 24, 13:28
- was it all those 120% tips? -- nm - zdroid May 24, 13:19
- I wonder how they got away with it long enough to get $117k. That seems like it would take a bit of time. -- nm - David May 24, 13:17 11
  - Instead of $11.70 they charged $11,700 x 10. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:19 4
    - Sounds like something Callisto would do. -- nm - David May 24, 13:22 3
      - Qale? -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:31
      - Hey, maybe Kite could make that much money. - Callisto May 24, 13:26 1
        
        I mean, do you know how many Indian people there are? -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:27
  - "between 2008 and last year" -- (link) - prayformojo May 24, 13:18 5
    - So, she made $5k out of $117. What a master thief. Also, I wonder why this falls under the Secret Service's jurisdiction. -- nm - David May 24, 13:21 4
      - Looks like it's something to do with it actually being in DC. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:23
      - The Secret Service has a criminal division which investigates money fraud, laundering, etc. - Don Homer May 24, 13:23 2
        
        I thought they were primarily focused on counterfeiting... - znufrii May 24, 13:28 1
        
        if you have access to cards...out of sight...you can run them through a recorder and dup them - zdroid May 24, 13:40
Okay, I saw the board had 153 posts, so I clicked "live" and did not go to a new, blank board. It just reloaded the old board. - mara May 24, 13:10 9
- It doesn't matter. ST isn't about the board. It's about the people and the relationships. -- nm - nubby May 24, 13:13
- It won't flip to a new board until a new thread is posted. If new posts are all replies to other posts then it can go quite a bit over. -- nm - Ender May 24, 13:12 1
  - No, if that were the case, we would never see "feel free to get the conversation started" or whatever that says. -- nm - mara May 24, 13:38
- Press the any key -- nm - prayformojo May 24, 13:12 3
  - Where's my Tab? -- nm - Callisto May 24, 13:12 2
    - Tangent - It's funy to me that the "Just give me a Tab" joke in BttF is as foreign to kids growing up now as it was to the worker in the diner. -- nm - Inigo May 24, 13:18 1
      - I had to explain it to my kids when we watched it a few months ago. Funny thing is about 2 weeks later we were at my MIL church - oblique May 24, 13:19
- If there's been a new post past 150 or not. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 13:11
- *gives mara a beer* - zork May 24, 13:11
Movies could be available as a VOD rental before DVD, Blu-ray -- for $20 to $30 each... -- (link) - Don Homer May 24, 13:09 18
- They are smoking crack -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 13:13 17
  - Effectively, studios would be giving you the option to watch Clash of the Titans, Date Night, How to Train Your Dragon and The Back-Up Plan. - David May 24, 13:15 15
    - Or rather, pay $30 to watch it at home instead of $10 X 4 tickets and popcorn and drinks... - JaxSean May 24, 13:17 8
      - (plus whatever monthly fee you have to pay to have cable or whatever) -- nm - Dano May 24, 13:31 2
        
        Yeah, but I already pay that. -- nm - JaxSean May 24, 13:32 1
        
        Even The Human Centipede wasn't enough to get me to get cable so I could watch it On Demand. -- nm - Dano May 24, 13:36
      - Especially if it i smore like $20. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:23
      - ...and not on the big screen. -- nm - Reagen May 24, 13:20 3
        
        With flat screen quality these days, that's not much of an issue. - David May 24, 13:22 1
        
        Plus, I can pause. I just read the article...I didn't realize it was a 30-day window. - JaxSean May 24, 13:30
        
        I'll trade my 52" at 15' for where I normally sit in the theatre and not lose much. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 13:21
    - $20 vs $30 really does make a dif. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:16 1
      - Agreed. -- nm - David May 24, 13:19
    - These must be the same people who bitch about Netflix getting movies 28 days late... - oblique May 24, 13:16 3
      - If I can't care enough to spend $ 5 or $ 7 when it comes out - I most certainly won't pay $ 20 or $ 30 a few months after - Epiphany May 24, 13:22
      - *raises hand* I live with someone who cares. -- nm - Will Hunting May 24, 13:18 1
        
        (I too care.) -- nm - David May 24, 13:19
  - Not really. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 24, 13:15
Matchstick Men -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 24, 13:09 1
- how short is he? he looks tiny -- nm - Epiphany May 24, 13:14
