British Open play has been suspended due to high winds...Phil's finished at even-par - Will Hunting Jul 16, 06:57
LYC: I am mad at AMC theaters. They upped concession prices and severly reduced the size of their "regular" soda. - MDH Jul 16, 06:55 2
- Which is why even as an employee I take my own drinks to movies. hehe -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 06:57
- really, i got a large over the weekend that was damm near a 60oz container. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 16, 06:57

  - i have no clue, i just post the deals man, just the deals. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 16, 07:00
one of Toronto's library branches is battling.... bedbugs! -- (link) - Andie Jul 16, 06:51 1
- too bad that once they win that battle, they'll find out that they're infested with bookworms. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 06:52
STIS: Briefly explained, what is the difference between munition, ammunition and ordonnance? -- nm - facto Jul 16, 06:48 4
- deadly, dealier, deadliest? -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 06:51
- The spellings. (nm) - Will Hunting Jul 16, 06:48 2
  - actually, looking at the definitions (which I'll admit I'd never looked at before), it's more than that - Beryllium Jul 16, 06:51 1
    - thankie t(h)anks :-) -- nm - facto Jul 16, 06:56
hmm, diva corrected me - apparently my assumption that Mel sounds like julianne moore from 30rock was incorrect. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 06:47 1
- he only sounds distinctly New Englander on the word 'quarter'. -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 07:02
LIR: The Hills: Most of not all of the situations where pre-arranged. It went from a little season one to almost 100% for the last season. -- nm - lileve Jul 16, 06:42 10
- Seems like everything that is big business, including music, movies and big-time politics. You find raw talent, or a concept that catches on, and then - facto Jul 16, 06:51
- I have never seen one episode so I don't know much about the show, but I thought it was a pretty ballsy move -- nm - Guigue Jul 16, 06:46 7
  - Most reality tv is scripted in some way. -- nm - lileve Jul 16, 06:50 6
    - it's more like a CliffsNotes version of scripting. Suggestions of where to go. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 06:54 5
      - it's cheap amatuer improv melodrama passed off as "reality" -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 06:58 4
        
        and it's not. effing. theatre! *slams desk with emphasis, looks disgustedly towards stage right* -- nm - znufrii si Jul 16, 06:59 3
        
        damn right, it's not. -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 07:02 2
        
        (and it's stage left, not stage rigtht) -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 07:02 1
        
        oh, you're the director now too? - TFox Jul 16, 07:03
- "Most if not..." -- nm - lileve Jul 16, 06:42
Matthew Berry's FF Draft Day Manifesto -- (link) - Beaker Jul 16, 06:39
It kinda surprises me that there are no movie theaters around here with a discounted rate (Tuesdays, weekdays before noon, etc.) - kelly Jul 16, 06:35 9
- It sucks in DC too. Every show is $10-11. Only discount is before noon on weekends! - MDH Jul 16, 06:47 4
  - I thought AMC was participating in the $5 movie thing, but I can't find anything that says Gaithersburg is one of the participating theaters. -- nm - kelly Jul 16, 06:49 3
    - I think every AMC does $5 tickets before noon Sat/Sun, they just don't advertise it anymore. - MDH Jul 16, 06:54 2
      - I don't know - I found a site that showed "participating theaters" and that wasn't one of them. - kelly Jul 16, 07:00
      - and most weekdays before 1 or 2 -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 16, 06:55
- yeah, i miss those. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 16, 06:37
- I am in love with the$ 5 1st showing - I thought all chains did that -- nm - Epiphany Jul 16, 06:37 2
  - I just found a place that has a $6 first showing - but it's 25 miles away. Might as well spend the $8.50 at the place down the street! - kelly Jul 16, 06:40
  - Me too. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:39
Ok, so I just got the pic of "15"...a pelican down in the Gulf that was recently cleaned up and saved. - Jim Jul 16, 06:30 [Image] 3
- that's pretty cool -- nm - prayformojo Jul 16, 06:46
- Very Neechay! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:35
- that's awesome. -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 06:34
The wind is angry at The British Open today... -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 06:29 1
- Spoilers - LMS Jul 16, 06:42
The best part of the movie ast night was during the previews... (possible trailer spoiler?) - Gwaahjo Jul 16, 06:23 17
- He was great until he made one of the worst movies ever in "The Village" -- nm - MDH Jul 16, 06:32 16
  - Everyone who hates this movie is absolutely stoned. The Village is my #2 of his, after Unbreakable. Where's Mel...I know he'll back me up! -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 06:36 15
    - Signs, Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and The Village were all very good. -- nm - nubby Jul 16, 06:58
    - I subscribe to the theory that each one of his movies is progressively worse than the last. But, I find Unbreakable more rewatchable than 6th Sense -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 06:40 8
      - I disagree. Unbreakable was better than 6th Sense. The Village was better than Signs. Hell, Lady in the Water was better than Signs. Still haven't - Jim Jul 16, 06:56 4
        
        the Happening had potential, then went to shit about halfway through. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 06:58 1
        
        Sixth Sense has a special place in my heart, but The Happening is in second place for enjoyment - Guigue Jul 16, 07:03
        
        Signs is my favorite of his -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 06:58 1
        
        Of what I've seen (which is all except Happening), it's my least favorite. -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 06:59
      - 6th sense loses quite a bit because of the twist. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 06:41 2
        
        One fo the movies I was highly impressed with was The Others (Kidman's movie) - Will Hunting Jul 16, 06:44 1
        
        I have the DVD, but have not watched it since I saw it in the theater. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 06:45
    - the mistake with the Village, is that it was advertised as something it wasn't. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 06:39 4
      - It was marketed horribly, that's for sure. But I loved it nonetheless. -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 06:45 1
        
        I liked it, after being pissed off in the theater, upon reflection - groiny Jul 16, 06:47
      - That was the point in time where his default 'twist' became the story instead of the movies - Will Hunting Jul 16, 06:42 1
        
        IIRC, it drew me to the theater expecting a horror flick. - groiny Jul 16, 06:43
For David: HP and Netgear Tivo NAS products -- (link) - oblique Jul 16, 06:19

Ok...it's Fincher, so I'm on board. But can someone help me with what made the Social Network trailer so special? -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 05:55 2
- I think it's about 80% the song. It just absolutely worked. -- nm - Ender Jul 16, 06:09 1
  - Yup. -- nm - lileve Jul 16, 06:26
OK, this turned stupid. Local DC news station has live coverage of earthquake, uh, aftermath. - loosilu Jul 16, 05:50 3
- Everyone on my fb newsfeed has posted about this. I'm like uggh. -- nm - MDH Jul 16, 06:18
- "My Franklin Mint commemorative presidential plates nearly fell!" -- nm - HdnAgnda Jul 16, 05:55 1
  - Comments almost all fall into two catergories: "It woke me up" and "I slept through it." -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 06:13
Interesting. Google breaks down fan "loyalty" by how much their Google use dropped during World Cup matches -- (link) - oblique Jul 16, 05:49 2

  - heh. I had a Wendy's burger on Wednesday when we drove down to Melbourne after work. - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:44 4
    - Grilled Chicken is your friend..... - groiny Jul 16, 06:45 3
      - Except at McD where the grilled chicken is worse than eating a McChicken -- nm - oblique Jul 16, 06:48 2
        
        key there is, skip the mayo and ask for a pack of light ranch dressing. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 06:49 1
        
        I didn't "clean up" the Wendy's burger and was grossed out by the mayonaise. - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:54

  - Nice! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:33

  - Wrong way! :) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:34
- I'm at 169.2 again, so staying about even, but that's my lowest weight-to-date (by 0.2). -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:01 3
  - are you going for more? or if it just happens - it happens? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 16, 06:38 2
    - Pretty much. I'm still paying attention to calories, but focusing more on the running. - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:42 1
      - you have no idea how much that helps. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 06:50
- Nice! That's 8 lbs so far, keep it up! Just watch what you eat. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 05:58 4
  - Yeah, mom's too good of a cook though! But I plan to exercise more regularly. - celedhring Jul 16, 06:04 3
    - It's best to have a goal like that, and in measureable steps. - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:09 2
      - walking really kicked my weight loss into gear - great advice - also: portion control - Epiphany Jul 16, 06:24 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 06:35

the most stunning thing about the social network trailer is jesse eisenber apparently playing a *slightly* different character than he usually does.nm - x Jul 16, 04:49 4
