- This is incredible -- nm - MDH May 26, 12:55
- i've gone from just planning to go and enjoy if for the eye-candy it is, to getting excited to see how awful they've made it. - Andie May 26, 12:53 4
  - maybe no one is inviting me because they know how busy i am, but there are no girls nights planned around this at all, in my circles - kare May 26, 12:55 1

  - Women are *shallow.* nm - Dignan May 26, 12:55

- This is one of my favorite reviews ever. -- nm - Will Hunting May 26, 12:53
- Any review that includes "rapes it to death with a stiletto" is probably not positive. -- nm - David May 26, 12:53 1

  - noooo Hon. you DON'T look fat in 'em -- nm - Danedukenuuk May 26, 12:51
  - That's what she said. -- nm - Mop May 26, 12:49
  - I like -- nm - crash davis May 26, 12:48
Reagun - tRuMaN May 26, 12:43 3
- part of the reason I investigated it was that the prices have come down here - Reagen May 26, 12:48 2
  - well, even at 4.5k it was exceedingly worth it for me. - tRuMaN May 26, 12:52
  - eventually, I mean to get that as well -- nm - crash davis May 26, 12:49
Wow. I guess congrats goes out to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland for this feat. - HdnAgnda May 26, 12:41 18
- Suddenly in comparison, Twilight looks like it earned its money by being a solid film. - TFox May 26, 12:46 3
  - Not likely to happen anytime soon because... - HdnAgnda May 26, 12:49
  - *slaps you...then takes my shirt off* -- nm - Mel Profit May 26, 12:47 1
    - Alice was mediocre. -- nm - Will Hunting May 26, 12:48
- Wow. This is pretty surprising to me -- nm - MDH May 26, 12:45
- It's the holy grail of worldwide box office. -- nm - David May 26, 12:44 1
  - Shrek 4's totally gonna get there! Bookmark this post! -- nm - that dude from IMBD May 26, 12:45
- beyond the 3D price premium, this boggles my mind -- nm - wheezy May 26, 12:43 6
  - Burton finally tapped the *right* classic. - Nightcrawler May 26, 12:46 4
    - Frakkin Timster. -- nm - HdnAgnda May 26, 12:47
    - And then changed it 90% of the way thru? -- nm - Will Hunting May 26, 12:47 2
      - No, it was the sequel. Smart. -- nm - The Infamous Proxie May 26, 12:48 1
        
        ? --- - Will Hunting May 26, 12:51
  - seriously. -- nm - Don Homer May 26, 12:45
- Wowo. Just, wow. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 26, 12:43
- That's correct. -- nm - Don Homer May 26, 12:42

- Spoilers - Will Hunting May 26, 12:44
- spoilers - Andie May 26, 12:43
lyc, after reading the reviews of some color laser printers - tRuMaN May 26, 12:39 3
- I always buy Brother for the office. -- nm - Nightcrawler May 26, 12:43
- running by the Boss man first? -- nm - Beaker May 26, 12:39 1
  - my instructions are to buy a color laser for less than $400 -- nm - tRuMaN May 26, 12:40
SITWAP. One solution to the oil spill (real. No joke)? -- (link) - HdnAgnda May 26, 12:31 1
- this is what the booms are made of -- nm - Beryllium May 26, 12:39
Love Letters response to: Oh So Confused in NY - Diva May 26, 12:24 27
- look, i will be the one to say this (unless it was said on b2) - tRuMaN May 26, 12:40 10
  - Jim was the first to suggest it. Under any circumstance, if you're only having sex once a quarter or so, your relationship has failed. -- nm - David May 26, 12:42 7
    - while for me personally, this would be correct, i also think there are people out there with low sex drives - kare May 26, 12:43 6
      - [deleted]
      - It's only perfect if they're in sync -- nm - Roger More May 26, 12:44 4
        
        Right and she's clearly not. -- nm - David May 26, 12:45
        
        exacty -- nm - kare May 26, 12:44 2
        
        I guess my joke wasn't that funny (spoils) - Roger More May 26, 12:46 1
        
        oh. i just thought you were saying it better than me. no, that's funny. :) -- nm - kare May 26, 12:48
  - he was likely cheating on her back when she was still fat, though. -- nm - kare May 26, 12:41 1
    - maybe, or maybe he just gets turned on by the photos. - tRuMaN May 26, 12:43
- bravo -- nm - Epiphany May 26, 12:29
- agree with her. He sounds disturbingly passive in all this. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:25 14
  - yep, like i said on b2, refusing therapy is *huge* -- nm - kare May 26, 12:27 13
    - It may, or may not be. Some people just don't like the idea of talking to a stranger about their problems, especially if it's a problem with intimacy. - Stephen May 26, 12:36 12
      - honestly, not all therapy is about talking. -- nm - znufrii May 26, 12:40 4
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        not really, but whatever. - znufrii May 26, 12:46
        
        talking about feelings is for pussies -- nm - wheezy May 26, 12:43 1
        
        not really, but whatever. -- nm - znufrii May 26, 12:44
      - It sounds like he doesn't want to talk about their problems with her either. -- nm - Roger More May 26, 12:40
      - like it or not, i don't think the vows leave room for "for better or for worse, but i won't work on it because it makes me uncomfortable." -- nm - TFox May 26, 12:38 1
        
        seriously. based on my own experience and what i've observed in others, if your spouse asks to go to counseling - kare May 26, 12:40
      - you want to save your marriage bad enough, you figure out how to let a stranger help. - kare May 26, 12:37 3
        
        I'm just saying that his reluctance (refusal) isn't necessarily an indication of wanting out of the marriage - Stephen May 26, 12:44 2
        
        They aren't miracle workers at all. But they can and do help (even if the issues don't get resolved). - pmb May 26, 12:48
        
        oh, i don't think so either. but i think it shows he's not willing to work on things, and he doesn't realize how dire the sitch is. - kare May 26, 12:47
I'm married to my best friend who's an excellent father but my life doesn't feel like the last 5 minutes of a Hugh Grant/Sandra Bullock movie! Waaah! -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 26, 12:23 45
- i agree in that it does seem like she may have some unrealistic expectations of what a long-term relationship is really like - kare May 26, 12:26 35
  - honestly, if anything I think her expectations are too low. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:28 17
    - i read a little deeper into it. it seems like she expects a happy marriage to just happen to her. -- nm - kare May 26, 12:29 16
      - I think there is a significant amount of not knowing what a relationship should feel like. Also, she's lost weight, feels more confident about - pmb May 26, 12:33 6
        
        honestly, i'm in the "divorce" camp myself. life is too short, and she is just figuring out what she really wants and deserves - kare May 26, 12:35 4
        
        I could join this, given the caveat that she should probably figure out what she wants FIRST. - Dr.Vermin May 26, 12:47 2
        
        agreed though i chalk it more up to her maturity level than being lazy and inimagitive -- nm - kare May 26, 12:53 1
        
        *un* - kare May 26, 12:53
        
        I hope I didn't come across as pointing the finger at the dude. Although, if he is as passive as he seems, he should get the hell out. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:36
        
        [deleted]
      - Yup. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 26, 12:31
      - I think she's had one relationship and this is it, so she doesn't have a lot to compare to. -- nm - Roger More May 26, 12:30 1
        
        agreed. -- nm - znufrii May 26, 12:30
      - I read it differently ... that she is trying to convince herself that a good who doesn't love her should be good enough. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:30 1
        
        i'm not so sure that he doesn't love her. -- nm - Andie May 26, 12:37
      - she also married him because she wasn't sure she could find anyone else. and she's tempted to stay with him because she's afraid no one else will want - kare May 26, 12:30 3
        
        Judging by her comments, I'd wager she was approaching 300lbs. That's a.....legitimate concern - Will Hunting May 26, 12:32
        
        I think this is true, but the dude seems perfectly content with the situation -- nm - Roger More May 26, 12:31
        
        that's what I'm saying. She's willing to settle for crap. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:31
  - [deleted] 16
    - oh definitely. but she also seems to just expect it to happen. she doesn't say for sure, but it doesn't sound like she's initiating all the time and - kare May 26, 12:29 15
      - [deleted] 3
        
        i agree. neither of them should have to. -- nm - kare May 26, 12:32 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        (initiation is a shared duty!) ;) -- nm - kare May 26, 12:32
      - Right, this is what i'm wondering too. Is she expecting him to make these grand romantic gestures all the time, and always initiate it? - Stephen May 26, 12:31 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        i don't think she is expecting grand romantic gestures; rather she seems to be passive about her role in helping to create a happy marriage - kare May 26, 12:37 4
        
        yes and no. she did suggest counselling. she did move for his job. she isn't exactly not trying, she just doesn't know *what* to try. -- nm - Andie May 26, 12:39 3
        
        On top of everything else, she paints her husband as utterly lacking in communication skills. -- nm - David May 26, 12:46 1
        
        which may or may not be true. he could either be totally passive (probable) or actually honestly bewildered that she is unhappy (less likely, but - Andie May 26, 12:51
        
        both excellent points. - kare May 26, 12:40
        
        I'm with Jack. her standards seem alarmingly low, if anything. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:33
      - have you ever met a healthy male who didn't ask for sex more than once in 3-4 months? -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:29 2
        
        you're missing my point entirely. -- nm - kare May 26, 12:31 1
        
        I guess I must be. I don't see this guy's actions as part of a normal relationship. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:32
- Is this a bit? If so, bravo? -- nm - Nightcrawler May 26, 12:25
- Actually, what she said was "My husband doesn't fuck me." -- nm - David May 26, 12:25 6
  - Maybe Jim is right. - Nightcrawler May 26, 12:26 5
    - Perhaps, but the weight loss is post-pregnancy and the problems started before they were married -- nm - Roger More May 26, 12:29
    - I'm seriously not ruling that out. Dessert may save that marriage. -- nm - David May 26, 12:27 1
      - Of course, she clearly takes a great deal of pride in the weight loss, so they're still stuck. -- nm - David May 26, 12:28
    - that's entirely plausible. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:27
    - [deleted]
- I'm wondering if you even read it. -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:24
reagen: the last i checked on implants they are down to about $1500 per eye - wheezy May 26, 12:22 2
- $2399 Canadian -- nm - zork May 26, 12:28 1
  - no idea if this is true. this was a bad exchange rate pricing joke. -- nm - zork May 26, 12:29
Further Vince Gray insanity: He's expected to announce that they founf funding elsewhere in the budget for the streetcars. -- (link) - MDH May 26, 12:22 5
- you think crazy politics will keep a guy out of the DC mayoral race? -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:24
- I wanna move into DC just to vote for this guy for trying to kill the streetcars. - Will Hunting May 26, 12:24 3
  - The streetcars would be a HUGE help to living in DC and commuting -- nm - MDH May 26, 12:35 2
    - You create lanes for them at a higher cost than a lane for a bus....that's wasteful - Will Hunting May 26, 12:41 1
      - I don't think Fenty is great either, but we had differing opinions on this. -- nm - MDH May 26, 12:44
she takes me to seedy motels. and poses me in all kinds of situations - barnaby bear May 26, 12:20 1
- then posts pictures on the internet? -- nm - loosilu May 26, 12:21
*heavy breathing* -- nm - Beaker May 26, 12:20 1
- mom...its for you -- nm - zdroid May 26, 12:21
