Toy Story 3 is 98% at RT. 160/3. Seriously, I haven't even seen it and I know 100% that I will like it. How could you not!?!? -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 08:47 10
- It's the best of the three. Really strong film. Pixar writes some of the most emotionally mature and well-developed films. - TWuG Jun 21, 08:52
- Oftentimes the rare negative reviews from universally liked movies are where the reviewer is trying to be contrarian. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 21, 08:50 1
  - a contrarian on the internet? that's like an apple on an apple tree. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 21, 08:51
- Armond White is a professional contrarian. -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 08:49 1
  - (although OTOH - have you never been disappointed with a movie you "knew you were going to love"?) -- nm - Reagen Jun 21, 08:50
- Well, one of the dudes that gave it a rotten gave a fresh rating to Jonah Hex. -- nm - Jim Jun 21, 08:48 3
  - Armond White is a professional contrarian. -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 08:50
  - *Shakes head at Shades* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:49 1
    - pfft, you know he liked Toy Story 3. - Beryllium Jun 21, 08:51
- fucking sequels. -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 08:48
LAPD reporting lack of public restrooms along parade route...100's of people in lines at gas stations. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 21, 08:45 2
- Father's Day parade? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 21, 08:46 1
  - I think I heard its something about basketball.....but I cant be sure :P -- nm - Walt_Disney Jun 21, 08:56
Worst double feature we saw in a long time: Jonah Hex F, SatC2 F - ceregon Jun 21, 08:39 11
- I hope you at least snuck into one of them. -- nm - mobile mafic Jun 21, 08:47 2
  - Yeah, buy a ticket for the first, sneak into the second (and never sneak into anything that could sell out) -- nm - ceregon Jun 21, 08:48 1
    - You still overpaid it would seem. -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 08:49
- At least Jonah Hex was short. -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 08:46
- yikes! -- nm - Don Homer Jun 21, 08:44
- Did you lose a bet or something? -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 08:42 4
  - We go to the movies a lot. I pick one, she picks one. -- nm - ceregon Jun 21, 08:46 3
    - Please tell me those were the only 2 you hadn't already seen... :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 08:47
    - Well now, you both chose poorly, didn't you! -- nm - Jim Jun 21, 08:46 1
      - We'd seen just about everything else showing, except for a bollywood flick. -- nm - ceregon Jun 21, 08:47
- You couldn't even get me to consider watching those as TV movies back to back. That's crazy. - Beryllium Jun 21, 08:41
wtach the guy in the blue shirt. ouch. -- (link) - Beaker Jun 21, 08:37 1

WC Spoils - LMS Jun 21, 08:37
American Idol lowers qualification age to 15. -- (link) - Mop (221 lbs) Jun 21, 08:34 13
- They can tweak this show however they want...but none of it will make up for the loss of Cowell. -- nm - Jim Jun 21, 08:38 3
  - chainsaw juggling! -- nm - TFox Jun 21, 08:39 2
    - Whatever Happened To The Chainsaw Juggler? -- (link) - TWuG Jun 21, 08:47 [youtube]
    - only if drugged out Paula comes back! -- nm - Beaker Jun 21, 08:40
- I look forward to the first over-indulgent parent going apeshit on their 15 year old son or daughter on TV -- nm - Beaker Jun 21, 08:35 5
  - Yeah, this is not good. Didn't they just up the age? Now they're lowering it. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jun 21, 08:38 4
    - The talent pool is shrinking. And Beiber-mania / Selena Gomez / Disney pop is big right now. - ty97 Jun 21, 08:38 3
      - I thought those two 20-somethings on America's Got Talent last week were hilarious. - Mop (221 lbs) Jun 21, 08:40 2
        
        I can happily say I have no idea what you are talking about. - ty97 Jun 21, 08:42 1
        
        You *MUST* watch. -- (link) - Mop (221 lbs) Jun 21, 08:45 [youtube]
- ...and Diddy wants to be Simon's replacement. He'll even take a *gasp* 5% cut over Cowell's salary! -- (link) - Mop (221 lbs) Jun 21, 08:35 2
  - That would be excellent casting on AI's part - ty97 Jun 21, 08:38
  - I'd prefer Diddy's character from Get Him To The Greek. -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 08:37
Sometimes I amaze myself!! (Wimbledon spoils) - Jim Jun 21, 08:33 [Backboard] 1
- I was sure you wouldn't make it past the first round. Bravo! -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jun 21, 08:35
Slate: If it's OK to reject blood from gay men, what about blacks? -- (link) - ty97 Jun 21, 08:32 6
- They don't reject blood from gay men. Only from men who have sex with other men. -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 08:49
- Don't they test every donation of blood? What's the hard in accepting from all donors if it's all tested anyway? - Mop (221 lbs) Jun 21, 08:39 2
  - Statistics, and unexpectedness. A bunch of people got hep C because there was no test for it. - mobile mafic Jun 21, 08:44
  - if they can't even test for hgh yet, how on earth will they test it for gay? - TFox Jun 21, 08:43
- And Mexicans. Don't forget the Mexicans!!! -- nm - Jim Jun 21, 08:33 1
  - Don't forget poms. Dirty, dirty poms. -- nm - mobile mafic Jun 21, 08:35

So what's the biggest World Cup "issue" so far? Vuvuzelas, the refereeing, or the amount of 'good team' upsets (not meant as a spoiler)? - JaxSean Jun 21, 08:26 10
- refereing - Danedukenuuk Jun 21, 08:48
- The upsets make it interesting to me. The ref issue is bigger than the annoying noise issue. -- nm - ty97 Jun 21, 08:43
- the refs have been awful, but it's really nothing new. They've always sucked. The flopping has been ridiculous too. -- nm - CQ Jun 21, 08:43 1
  - the flops have been like that forever, though. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 21, 08:45
- I'd hope to think the referee situation. - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:33 4
  - As a casual (USA) observer, the "refs don't have to file a report or even say what the foul was" was...a big turn off. - JaxSean Jun 21, 08:39 3
    - referee decisins on goals are final and can't be appealed -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 21, 08:54
    - Yep, no accountability is a big issue. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:46
    - yup, and soccer has more stories of corrupt refs than basketball ever dreamed of having -- nm - Beaker Jun 21, 08:41
- The refs. Inconsistent, and getting things wrong. -- nm - mobile mafic Jun 21, 08:28
The only bit of The Bachelorette I've watched this season was the last half of last week, but I have to watch tonight for crazy tattoo dude. -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 08:26

Researcher develops vagina dentata to combat rape in Africa -- (link) - Hotkiss Jun 21, 08:13 7
- [deleted] 6
  - totally agree. -- nm - loosilu Jun 21, 08:21
  - But up til now the policy has been completely toothless. -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 08:18 4
    - gives the anti-rape policy some bite i agree -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 21, 08:20 3
      - Not quite as awesome as Teeth, but still. -- nm - Shaun Jun 21, 08:25 2

Wife and I watched Away We Go on Saturday night. I'd give it a B. It was a small, quiet film. I liked the story it told. (spoils) - HdnAgnda Jun 21, 08:11 2

  - I'll allow for that. :) -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 21, 08:18
Posting on ST isn't as fun as it may seem. If I don't love something anymore I stop doing it. - prayformojo Jun 21, 08:08 11
- Does Not Compute! -- nm - TWuG's Women Jun 21, 08:10
- this better just be a Amanda Bynes joke... -- nm - Andie Jun 21, 08:09 7
  - yes - prayformojo Jun 21, 08:14 5
    - It makes me wonder if she just got tired of losing roles to Amanda Seyfried and Emma Stone. -- nm - Diva Jun 21, 08:18 4
      - Her attempting sexy and failing was the last sign. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:47
      - i like amanda bynes (not as much as dano, but still...). she has no range, but i find her very cute and charming. -- nm - Andie Jun 21, 08:19 2
        
        She's all right. That tweet makes her sound like she's over the industry. Not surprising at all. -- nm - Diva Jun 21, 08:24 1
        
        I will still see her movies but I stopped following her on Twitter because she was so vapid. -- nm - Dano Jun 21, 08:48
  - [deleted]

- Based upon your stories about your boss, I think hes one of the dumbest business owners in the USA.... - Walt_Disney Jun 21, 08:08 1
  - The things I do are perfectly understandable *tweak* -- nm - truBoss Jun 21, 08:12
- I wonder if you could spoof the LPT port if you ran the DOS app inside a VM? :) - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 21, 08:04 1
  - maybe, but the program is so dumb, i removed the old printer inside the program, and setup the new one - tRuMaN Jun 21, 08:33
WC Spoiler - Danedukenuuk Jun 21, 07:54 2

      - I do! I'm down to 173 though. I think I lost 5 lbs during the heat of the 5K on Saturday. - JaxSean Jun 21, 07:45 6
        
        good job!! - my hat is off to you - I just *can not!* do the walks in the heat - 80 even feels like took much - Epiphany Jun 21, 08:15
