      - Oh I meant where I was alone in theater, first by myself "Underworld" -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 12:20
    - i would have to go way back. i used to walk up the hill to the 3-plex when i was a kid -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 12:18

- AMC - 400 something. -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 12:14
- amc, 700 or so. had it for like a decade or more -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 12:08 3

    - they have had some program for over a decade, the name keeps changing - tRuMaN Jun 24, 12:13

  - The AMC guy literally died when he saw I had 210, I would love to see his face on yours. -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 12:07 1

  - Yeah, is there a way to check this? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 12:05 8
    - linky -- (link) - Qale Jun 24, 12:07
    - On their website it says how many you have, next reward, history, etc -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 12:06 5
      - Hmm. Just created my online account, but it says I don't have any points. WTF? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 12:11 4
        
        (For Regal. For AMC I have 32 points. woot! heh) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 12:12 2
        
        Regal's website is HORRIBLE. - MDH Jun 24, 12:13 1
        
        "Optins" nice. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 12:18
        
        I think you can link your card if it hasn't connected the accounts? -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 12:12
    - Not sure. Plus the points keep adding up. You get stuff as you reach a certain levels, you don't actually lose the points. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 24, 12:06
- Yes to both. Have no idea, but I really like the AMC one. The Regal one (for me) is meh. - JaxSean Jun 24, 12:04 1

- no but I should -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 12:04
Spawn, the other night in Halo..... - groiny Jun 24, 12:02 9

- [deleted]
- I agree with your point. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 12:03 5
  - and I think I outkilled you in every game we played, I must add. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 12:03 4
    - You did better than the week before, at least. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 12:03 3
      - which I was still better than you. - groiny Jun 24, 12:04 2
        
        As most weeks, there were games you killed more, and there were games I killed more. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 12:14
        
        but he will try. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 12:11
- "you were so tender. thank you for that. I must go." -- nm - groiny si Jun 24, 12:02
Tom Cruise should contact the South Park guys and do an uncredited voice on South Park. -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 12:01 14
- i totally disagree. playing along with the joke when people are laughing at you doesn't help. just put it behind you and do what got you here - chuckles Jun 24, 12:03 10
  - It really hurt him in Tropic Thunder. -- nm - David Jun 24, 12:14 2
    - Stiller wasn't necessarily laughing at him the same way the South Park guys do. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 24, 12:22
    - it worked for a cameo. - Mel Profit Jun 24, 12:18
  - agreed. He's just hemorrhaging fanbase with this strategy. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 24, 12:07 6
    - I think his days as box office gold are probably gone. I think his only hope is to re-establish himself with a serious, oscar-worthy role (if he has - pmb Jun 24, 12:11 3
      - he tried that with Valkyrie and Lions For Lambs. i think he can get it back but he needs to pick better scripts -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 12:14 2
        
        only something like Jerry Maguire II will save him. - Mel Profit Jun 24, 12:17
        
        Valkyrie was a solid hit, dude. -- nm - David Jun 24, 12:17
    - didn't he already accomplish that? I would think showing he can laugh at himself might make people see him differently -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 12:08 1
      - except it doesn't come off like that. i still think underneath the public face, he doesn't think what he did before was "crazy" but for the sake of - chuckles Jun 24, 12:12
- again? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 12:02 2
  - he did a voice for them? -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 12:02 1

- you know that ad where the guy slams the head of his friend who nicked his butterfingers? that's not really an ap -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 12:01
- what the heck is he doing to it /with it? -- nm - Don Homer Jun 24, 12:00 1
  - no idea. he wouldnt explain why it had to be replaced, just that it was replaced. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 12:10
- he should stop tweaking his nipples with it -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 11:58 1
  - *gets an idea* nm -- nm - Apple Jun 24, 11:59
I agree with Reagen about Knight and Day (and about 7 films being "catch it on DVD") -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 11:56 26
- if that's 7, maybe I'm a 7.5? which is saying something, as I haven't seen all that many of his movies, and I think maybe 4 in theaters. -- nm - b. Jun 24, 12:08
- This one will have enough effects and 'splosions that will make it theater-worthy for me. Something like Get Him to the Greek, OTOH... - Dr.Vermin Jun 24, 12:02 2
  - I am going tonight - didn't know it was out yesterday or would have went yesterday -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 12:03 1

    - Oh. It looked like poop from here. nm - Dignan Jun 24, 12:02
    - heh -- nm - Don Homer Jun 24, 12:00
- I agree with Reagen , that if you are going to betray someone... - groiny Jun 24, 11:58 5
  - My strategic wisdom and committment to an ideal will be recognized. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 11:59 4
    - The thing about a sacrifice of chess pieces is that it's a strategy intended to *improve* your position. -- nm - David Jun 24, 12:07 3
      - it killed all the other dudes too. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 12:17
      - I guess reagen's philosphy is that sometimes ... you have to sacrifice the board. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 12:16
      - i really wish one of us would have remember to get a video clip of that. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 12:16
- I'm about an 8. But I agree, a lot more movies are definite waits given the short DVD window -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 11:57 10
  - It's not even the short window that influences my decision, I just don't really like theaters. Too much hassle. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 11:58 7
    - I went to the 11am showing of Iron Man 2 this morning and I was the only one in the theater. That feeling is priceless. - Hotkiss Jun 24, 12:01 5
      - My goal for years was to be the only person in a movie. I achieved it, and it couldn't have been better. - MDH Jun 24, 12:02 2
        
        I was the only one in the theatre to see The Unborn. It made it at least slightly creepier. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 12:19
        
        I achieve it about once a year. Today, I also brought in a full Burger King meal to enjoy, whopper jr and fries! -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 24, 12:04
      - I always hope something like that would happen so I could go and sit right in front of the person :) -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 12:02
      - Price of an Iron Man 2 matinee ticket: $6.75. Being the only loser in a whole theater on a Thursday morning: priceless -- nm - Billy Crudup Jun 24, 12:02
    - I literally love going to the movie theater. Last summer I was there 1-2 per week, not happening this summer. - MDH Jun 24, 12:00
  - I really like watching movies in theaters. But then, I haven't been to the movies yet in Chicago -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 11:58 1
    - i'm sure the moviegoing public of Chicago are eternally grateful too -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 12:01
"But I wore the juice!" -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 11:56
Japan's soccer team has a guy named Honda that I'm pretty sure was in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:55
STPA: I am on my third t-shirt of the day. The other 2 have been drenched with sweat. I'll let you all know if I'll need a fourth or fifth. -- nm - CQ Jun 24, 11:55 9
- Shirtless. duh -- nm - oblique Jun 24, 12:09
- I have no sympathy for you, Mr. Off-For-6-Months-Out-Of-The-Year -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 11:58 2
  - It's really 4 and one half months off. heh -- nm - CQ Jun 24, 12:03 1
    - you are not helping -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 12:04
- Working outside today must be the suck. Sorry. - Krusty Jun 24, 11:57
- Might I suggest....a pool? :) -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 11:57
- [deleted]
- We have pre-baited our collective breaths. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 11:56 1
  - I know I'm holding mine. I mean, what with CQ's three sweaty shirts laying around and all. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 12:01
Is the woot off broken? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:55 5
- 20% off a $15 shirt that I (could have) gotten when it came out at $10 is meh to me. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 11:56 4
  - ( I can't believe "Nevermore" is *still* in their top 10.) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 11:59
  - The full page will not load for me. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:59 2
    - The image is rather ... cool. But it redirects to the Reckoning page at Shirt.Woot. 20% off and free shipping (so $12). -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 24, 12:00 1
      - In the green box, the last thing it has is - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 12:01
