Those new Sun Chip 100% Compostable packaging bags are cool, buy holy hell they're loud. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 11, 20:08 2

Sad that I'm trying to stay up for two more hours in the hope of getting a BOC at 1 am. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 11, 19:48 6
- Do they even give really cool things like TVs anymore or is it just screaming monkeys? -- nm - Guigue Jul 11, 19:53 5
  - And to answer your question: yes, yes they do. but few and far between. This girl got 5 DVD players and a 37" TV. -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 11, 20:04

Give to me first place. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 11, 18:42
so let me get this right ... The Other Guys is being pushed as a Ferrel / Walberg movie, and not Samuel L Jackson and The Rock !?!?!? - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 11, 18:32 10
- yeah the premise of the movie is that it's about Ferrall and Wahlberg.... - Remlik Jul 11, 18:40
- I was sort of surprised to find out that The Rock and Sam Jackson were in it. - Mel Profit Jul 11, 18:35
- Ferrel is the draw for that movie. He's the box office heavy. -- nm - Bacon Jul 11, 18:35 7
  - I'm more interested in seeing Wahlberg do comedy, actually. -- nm - Max Jul 11, 18:36 6
    - The Happening was hilarious!! Comedy Gold!! - Bacon Jul 11, 18:38 2
      - Oh, The Big HIt -- nm - Bacon Jul 11, 18:38 1

      - Be scientific, douchebag. -- nm - Dano Jul 11, 18:40 1
        
        Hey plant, we should do a movie together. Plant I'm totally serious ok? Say hi to your pollinator for me. -- nm - Max Jul 11, 18:42
Pre-Monday Weekend Movie Rating: Predators: B+. The + is for using Gonna Have Me Some Fun Tonight during the closing credits -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 18:26
Finally got the 22" widescreen installed. 1920x1080. It's almost too wide with this resolution. ST takes up maybe 1/3 of the width in the browser -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 18:17 9
- Impressive ... . --nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 11, 18:54 1
  - I need to pay bills but then I'm launching Bioshock 2 in 1920x1080. *shiver* -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 18:55
- is higher resolution HDTV anywhere down the pike in the industry? like...1620p? or are we forever stuck with 1080 tops? -- nm - Max Jul 11, 18:19 3
  - (I misread your monitor post as tv, but I intend to hijack this thread for my own purposes anyway) -- nm - Max Jul 11, 18:20 2
    - Mop likes to talk about 4K (which is starting to hit theaters) and certainly is the next evolution for TVs -- (link) - oblique Jul 11, 18:23 1
      - oh, so they're probably already available at Best Buy. -- nm - Max Jul 11, 18:25
- I've noticed the same with 1680x1050, but it's strangely easy to get used to. -- nm - Jelly Jul 11, 18:18 2
  - I always run my browser in maximized mode. I may have to start using it "windowed" for now -- nm - oblique Jul 11, 18:27 1
    - I prefer sites that, when narrow, anchor to the left .. my bank anchors to the center but only uses 33% of the screen ... makes it hard to run my - Beryllium Jul 11, 19:16
I don't get all the hate for The watchmen, loving it so far... -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 18:15 5
- It was just tedious with lifeless characters outside of Rorscharch for me - Will Hunting Jul 11, 18:24 2
  - enemy at the gates had a sex scene? what, ed harris and ron pearlman? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 11, 19:29
  - Rorschach is making it for me...maybe it is just him making me like it so much... -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 18:25
- The characters were blah -- nm - amoxy Jul 11, 18:23
- I had plenty of hate for it. -- (link) - Qale Jul 11, 18:23
here is the new Hulk -- (link) - peglegpete Jul 11, 18:15 1
- Mmmm, Jasmine as Storm! -- nm - flavorize Jul 11, 18:43
Some of these are pretty funny (nmblink) - ralph wiggum Jul 11, 18:11 1
- I love #24. -- nm - nubby Jul 11, 18:18
'Take me out to the Ballgame' is a hymn? -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 11, 17:54
Grrr. Importing this audiobook and every disc the first third imports fine and the last third takes over an hour. -- nm - Dano Jul 11, 17:53
Whenever I see an Inception commercial I close my eyes and put my fingers in my ears because I already know more about it than I want to. -- nm - Dano Jul 11, 17:50
Ed Norton's agent issues a statement about getting booted from The Avengers movie....it's going to get ugly... -- (link) - Remlik Jul 11, 17:34 11
- This sounds verry similar to barganing ploys in sports - eag Jul 11, 17:49 3
  - marvel will have an hour long special on Syfy to announce the "new" hulk - Beryllium Jul 11, 17:49 2
    - Well Marvel now answers to Disney - eag Jul 11, 17:58 1
      - Good point -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 11, 18:49
- Key word...collaborative. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:39 1
  - yep...I'm wondering how many "notes" Norton during those meetings. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 11, 18:00
- Marvel: "Your movie sucked ass, we're going with someone else to play the part in Avengers." Norton: "WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" - TWuG Jul 11, 17:38 4
  - It isn't about Norton not showing he can make money. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 11, 19:12
  - I don't think it's "WAAAAAH" to object to the bitchslap of that Marvel press release. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 11, 18:01 2
    - Imagine the expression on Norton's face if someone actually bitchslapped him. I bet he'd look pretty shocked. And then angry. - Max Jul 11, 18:40 1
      - He does that look in every movie, I don't have to imagine it -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 11, 18:50
Dixie Cart andd Paul Heyman met this week, rumor is that he supposed to be at the TNA ppv tonight.... - Remlik Jul 11, 17:29
Scott Caan is really starting to resemble his dad -- nm - prayformojo Jul 11, 17:16
Dragon Quest IX for the DS out today. Hmmmm. -- nm - Tim Jul 11, 17:01 3
- Kim will have this in the next 72 hours, I'm sure. -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:08
- hey - prayformojo Jul 11, 17:07 1
  - YGM -- nm - Tim Jul 11, 17:10
Big Brother! -- nm - Dano Jul 11, 17:00 2
- Spoiler!! POV ceremony results - peglegpete Jul 11, 17:18
- Is that nubby as the hottie physicist? -- nm - Dano Jul 11, 17:11
Sting a terrible wrestler? What? -- nm - David Jul 11, 16:39 37
- Crow Sting was on e of the best characters ever. -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 18:03
- He was better with The Police -- nm - Dano Jul 11, 17:15
- yeah he's not great. -- nm - Remlik Jul 11, 17:12
- Tantric? -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 11, 16:41
- Pretty charismatic, but overall, he's generally thought to be a not all that. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 16:41 32
  - He was considered the most talented wrestler in the world for years. - David Jul 11, 16:50 31
    - That was pure hype. He had a look and he had some skills but when it came to the big matches he'd choke for years.... - Remlik Jul 11, 17:13 2
      - People don't win Match of the Year if they can't wrestle, dude. -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:31 1
        
        It's rigged, dumas! -- nm - Max Jul 11, 17:41
    - There's a major reason he was never made the franchise with long title runs...cuz he didn't draw as champ - Will Hunting Jul 11, 16:59 16
      - I agree with Will -- nm - Walt_Disney Jul 11, 17:08
      - Draw is different from wrestling, but even if we go there... - David Jul 11, 17:06 14
        
        WWE was changing. Sting might been top notch in the late 80's on some in-ring, but by 91...it was back to Flair - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:11 5
        
        Hogan is one of the worst actual wrestlers of all-time. -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 17:38 2
        
        Oh, unquestionably. You'll never hear me argue otherwise - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:40 1
        
        His most advanced move would be a suplex :) -- nm - Shaun Jul 11, 17:41
        
        I do think it's a telling sign of respect that Brett Hart stole Sting's signature move. -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:34
        
        major reason right there he never held the strap for long at the height of WCW. -- nm - Remlik Jul 11, 17:21
        
        (He was the deluxe version of Kerry Von Erich in that he had charisma on top of a great look.) -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:07 7
        
        Okay, let me amend my below post......1997 Sting .... not good in the ring with Hogan - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:13 6
        
        Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like everybody else, he slowed down as he got older. - David Jul 11, 17:33 5
        
        It does amaze me how certain guys are legends (Lawler) - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:38 4
        
        Exactly. I love Arn Anderson to death (he's in my top 3 ever), but he has the natural athleticism of Jay Baruchel. -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:43 3
        
        but boy did he get us to really care or hate him. -- nm - Remlik Jul 11, 17:46 2
        
        After The Rock, he's THE best interview I've ever seen. -- nm - David Jul 11, 18:00
        
        It annoys me how little Vince will consider managers for guys who can't talk - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:48
    - on what world? davidcrazyworld? - chuckles Jul 11, 16:53 10
      - Why are you so obsessed with discussing things of which you have no knowledge? -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:04 6
        
        i can understand why Vince McMahon never wanted to pay for a cheap Ultimate Warrior ripoff when he already had the original -- nm - chuckles Jul 11, 17:09 4
        
        Oh honey, this is why you can't have nice opinions. The WWF chased after Sting for 15 years. -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:30
        
        Different shades of similar.....but Sting was so much more than Warrior over the long term - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:15
        
        they talked serious for about 2 years after WCW and before TNA. -- nm - Remlik Jul 11, 17:14 1
        
        Makes perfect sense...he's the biggest name to never jump; he was pretty popular overall for the #2 - Will Hunting Jul 11, 17:16
        
        He is making up for lost time. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 11, 17:06
      - This thread makes me miss the WC talk. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 11, 16:55 2
        
        Both involve a lot of fake flopping. -- nm - Dano Jul 11, 17:01
        
        I missed a Water Closet thread? :( -- nm - peglegpete Jul 11, 17:01

Audio book listeners... They don't make you sleepy do they? - Dano Jul 11, 16:11 4
- I commute to them all the time. No sleepier than usual. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 11, 16:33
- I haven't yet tried it in the car, but in the tent it put me out within a few minutes :( - MojaveMeg Jul 11, 16:17
- all I buy is audiobooks now and no it doesn't make me sleepy - J Jul 11, 16:16
- Not in my experience. nm - Dignan Jul 11, 16:16
Cena's due for a great heel turn but Vince won't do it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 11, 16:08 13
- they make way to much money with Cena as a face. way to much -- nm - Remlik Jul 11, 17:26
- from B2, i have to agree that the Hogan heel turn in the WCW days was epic ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 11, 16:16
- His heel turn will be epic but he draws too much money right now. - Tim Jul 11, 16:11 10
  - That's perfect if there's no face. You let him run roughshod with his Nexus faction and you force others to step up. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 16:13 9
    - I loved Goldberg's ascension... - Mel Profit Jul 11, 16:18 8
      - And it was the first major sign that WCW had no clue forward when they gave away Hogan / Goldberg on free tv. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 16:19 6
        
        The original NWO and then the factioning of NWO (at first) was some of the best wrestling lines ever. - Mel Profit Jul 11, 16:22 2
        
        I think the original Hogan heel turn is the best wrestling moment of my lifetime. -- nm - David Jul 11, 17:08
        
        Oh yeah, WCW had 2 years of awesome....that led into 3 years of awesome with WWF. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 11, 16:25
        
        they screwed the whole Sting build too, as in all build, and no payoff. -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 16:20 2
        
        Well, they thought they could parlay Bret's arrival into something and they couldn't slap Hogan down with his control. - Will Hunting Jul 11, 16:21 1
        
        with Hogan running the book w/ Eric in those days Bret had zero chance in WCW. Hogan screwed him in WWF and kept it up in WCW. - Remlik Jul 11, 17:27
      - yeah, me too -- nm - Brett Hart Jul 11, 16:19
