Observation fail. Gamestop's buy 2 get 1 free used game sale ended yesterday, not today. -- nm - Tim Jul 18, 17:29 3
- As many used titles they got there collecting dust, they really ought to just spot you this time. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 17:32 2
  - It really should be a constant deal. The margin on them is still ridiculous. -- nm - Tim Jul 18, 17:39 1
    - Buying a video game new is almost like buying a car new. Huge depreciation hit almost immedately. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 17:42
"Your Hulu Plus preview invite is ready" -- nm - David Jul 18, 17:24 8
- I don't see why I would want to do that over Netflix. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 17:30 3
  - I'm going to try out both this month. -- nm - David Jul 18, 17:32 1
    - Ah. I predict it'll come down to if you prefer the current TV season availability vs having a movie mailed to you in addition to the older instant - Qale Jul 18, 17:36
  - Also: Joined Hulu, January 1st, 2007. (the Happy New Year nt!) -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 17:31
- "Joined Hulu: October 29, 2007" -- I didn't realize I'd been ignoring Hulu for that long. -- nm - David Jul 18, 17:28 1
  - same -- nm - budice Jul 18, 17:38
- i was considering signed up for that, since it will supposedly be an optoin for those with a ps3 withough requiring - tRuMaN Jul 18, 17:26 1
  - it will also be a ps3 exclusive through 2011 i think. -- nm - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 17:32
if you have just absolutely nothing better to do for the next 3 minutes, here's video of my gliding flight take off this afternoon. -- (link) - Andie Jul 18, 17:22 [youtube] 19
- Tell us about those bungie cords in front of you ? - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 17:41 7
  - maybe. did you know that gliders are stored without their wings? it takes about 10 minutes to put it all together! -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:43 6
    - I must link my brother to your video. He likes to go down to Hamilton and catch rides on the antique airplanes. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 17:45 1
      - this was actually *just* north of Hamilton, he probably knows them. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:52
    - Did they tell you that before or after you paid for the flight? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:45 3
      - oh, i didn't *pay*. - Andie Jul 18, 17:49 2
        
        I don't pay for things either. Hence I don't get to do them. - Bacon Jul 18, 17:51 1
        
        this was a barter thing, i worked for this. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:52
- you're like our own Rose Dawson! -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 17:34 3
  - where is Billy Zane? i wouldn't be so hasty.... -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:36 2
    - the crash of the housing market hit his interests hard - chuckles Jul 18, 17:37 1
      - Spoiler Guy! Strikes again! -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:41
- nice! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 17:34
- I want to see the video after the cable is pulled. Also I see you have a flying stick. Did you get to fly it for a minute? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:27 5
  - i have a few more videos i'll post - one is of a turn we did where you go on steep angle and sort of pivot the plane around the tip of the wing. - Andie Jul 18, 17:29 4
    - Wow!! Do you get any training first or is it like drivers training where the pilot can take back control at any time? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:32 3
      - sorry ,no i didn't control during the turn, just while flying straight, and no, no training. -- nm - Andie Jul 18, 17:33 2
        
        more - there are dual controls, if one of us moves a lever the other's lever does the same thing, so the pilot never really loses control, he could - Andie Jul 18, 17:34 1
        
        that is really awesome. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:35
i wonder how far afield you'd have to go to get an attendant at a winery to disagree with you - Reagen Jul 18, 17:13 9
- "i detect a hint of pickle brine, and also... no.... yes, also my own testes." -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 17:15 5
  - "you know what your own testes taste like?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 17:23 2
    - In most cases, you'd ask this. However, after seeing TFox...it goes unspoken. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 17:24 1
      - every once in a while, every man needs to squat to pick something up in the summer. you basically get the gist. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 17:26
  - "What? No, its sublime! I'll take 6 bottles." -- nm - TFox si Jul 18, 17:16 1
    - "Hey, are there any drumsets nearby?" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 17:17
- tell them it tasters like bud light -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 17:14 2
  - He just wants them to disagree, he doesn't want to perform suicide-by-winery-attendant. Although I hear it's gaining in popularity. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 17:16
  - -r -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 17:14
LYC: Last weekend, I taught The Bub to sing, "My don't like Mondays." - Black Rabbit Jul 18, 17:10 2
- not "I don't like mondays"? -- nm - peglegpete Jul 18, 17:15 1
  - The Bub uses "My" for "I". -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 19, 07:53
I liked The A-Team more than Inception. There, I said it. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 17:01 3
- Yeah, but you also don't like indie gay incest movies, so what does that tell us? -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 17:27
- well, that's clearly because The A-Team is awesomesauce and needs a sequel liek nao -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 17:15
- ... but The Happening beat them all. -- nm - dano Jul 18, 17:07
also, i really wish english was spelling phonetically. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 17:00 1
- finetiklee? -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 17:01
sexay pin up photos (surprisingly safe for work) gotta see this -- (link) - zeitgeist Jul 18, 17:00
also note: if/when i move, i really need to consider being within an hour or so of other sters - tRuMaN Jul 18, 16:58 10
- Just 1, don't' move near 2 of them. Or you will spend months trying to get them to agree on a day to see it. Can I trade RC and Guy for Truman? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:18 1
  - bah, you set a date, if only one goes, only one goes. - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 17:33
- Last ST'er that moved close to me ran away after a year -- nm - amoxy Jul 18, 17:14
- pawtucket, ri! -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 17:01 6
  - but what if i dont like trannies? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 17:01 5
    - you could at least enjoy some hot weiners. - TFox Jul 18, 17:07 4
      - with clam cakes -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 17:08 3
        
        if you're lucky. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 17:11
        
        will they have crabs? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 17:09 1
        
        not but smell like fish -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:10
I admit that all this Inception talk makes me want to see it more... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 16:39 5
- Weirdly, all the sex offender talk did not make me want to see them more. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 16:43
- The ads didn't make me especially want to see it. - CovingtonCat Jul 18, 16:41 2
  - Let me put it to you like this... (Inception spoilers) - David Jul 18, 16:50 1
    - Spoils - CovingtonCat Jul 18, 16:52
- I loved that the commercials don't tell you shit. They ruined one scene for me though. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 16:40
This board should be retitled "Inception Talk" -- nm - amoxy Jul 18, 16:30 8
- so should the movie -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 16:31
- ST loves a good argument -- nm - flavorize Jul 18, 16:30 6
  - no we don't -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 16:32 5
    - I see what you did there. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 16:35 4
      - arguments are a couple boards down, this is pedagodery -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 18, 16:37 3
        
        I'm sorry. I was looking for abuse. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 17:28
        
        no it's not. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 16:39 1
        
        whatever. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 18, 16:56
Inception question (minor spoiler) about the "projections" - ceregon Jul 18, 16:11 3
- spoilers - Dano Jul 18, 16:26 1
  - i'm confused (spoiler) - ceregon Jul 18, 17:08
- one of the few questions Ellen Page didn't ask, apparently -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 16:24
so just glancing at st today, i have learned that inception - tRuMaN Jul 18, 16:08 22
- I saw it in IMAX and was underwhelmed (spoilers) - ceregon Jul 18, 16:13 2
  - spoilers - Bacon Jul 18, 16:32 1
    - Spoils - CovingtonCat Jul 18, 16:36
- That would be the same as watching Avatar at home. Yes it's thinky, but the visuals are big screen required. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 16:10 4
  - Thinky? - Black Rabbit Jul 18, 16:58 3
    - Sponge Bob is quite clever. Don't be fooled. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 17:34
    - The thinky was referring to Inception not Avatar. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 17:01
    - its bacon, what do you expect for anwers, it doesnt have the brain matter to construct syliliques of words - tRuMaN Jul 18, 17:00
- But then you'll miss the special effects, which are amazing, especially on the big screen -- nm - flavorize Jul 18, 16:10 1
  - possibly - tRuMaN Jul 18, 16:13
- FWIW, this is why I'm not certain it will have legs. A lot of people may not want to put in this sort of effort for a movie. - David Jul 18, 16:09 11
  - well, to me when a movie requires a lot of thinking - tRuMaN Jul 18, 16:15 10
    - I have cut my theater trips down to 3-4 a year because I have the same movie setup at home as you. - Bacon Jul 18, 16:19 4
      - see i really dont get spoiled too much - tRuMaN Jul 18, 16:25 3
        
        Oh spoilers anger the crap out of me. It's like watching a football game where I know the final score. - Bacon Jul 18, 16:28 2
        
        3rd and 4... AP to the left... he's tackled! oh fuck, turnover, game's over! -- nm - bacon si Jul 18, 16:55 1
        
        spoilers - Bacon Jul 18, 16:56
    - Oh, I completely agree. I wish I could spend the $40 from IMAX and just watch it over and over again at home. - David Jul 18, 16:18 4
      - I agree with your IM. They need to invent a way to do this in theaters. - CovingtonCat Jul 18, 16:38 2
        
        Loosi in 3,2,1, -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 16:39 1
        
        FUCKING iPHONES! -- nm - loosi si Jul 18, 16:47
      - well true. - tRuMaN Jul 18, 16:24
I hated Memento though. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 15:56 27
- I made SheFox watch it not too long ago. She was non-plussed. I still thought it was dope sauce. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 16:46 2
  - insert note: Not TFox specific: so many people use 'nonplussed' to mean 'unimpressed' but it actually means 'bewildered.' - Andie Jul 18, 16:51 1
    - what if i meant 'unimpressed' but 'bewildered' actually works even better? :-) - TFox Jul 18, 16:53
- I have the DVD sitting on the TV... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 16:25 3
  - I haven't seen it recently, but loved it the first two times I saw it -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 16:27 2
    - I watched it about 3 times the weekend I rented it. -- nm - psilotum Jul 18, 17:20
    - I was pretty blown away by it back then. - Mel Profit Jul 18, 16:29
- i did not understand it much but i enjoyed the acting -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 18, 16:14
- I bought the collector's edition DVD a few years back and I still can't figure out how to access the movie itself. Loved it though. -- nm - Buzz Jul 18, 16:11
- The Prestige was a underated film on the other hand -- nm - eag Jul 18, 16:07 5
  - I hated The Prestige. -- nm - kelly Jul 18, 16:49
  - Not a fan. -- nm - David Jul 18, 16:09
  - That was a movie I absolutely hated. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 16:09 1
    - Its one of the movies that I enjoyed the film but hated the characters in it -- nm - eag Jul 18, 16:19
  - seriously -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 16:08
- I didn't see it after hearing how many people were frustrated by it. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 16:03 1
  - A few people here would list it among their favorite movies ever. You should definitely check it out. -- nm - David Jul 18, 16:04
- I wasn't fond of it, finding it gimmicky. Inception feels fleshed out. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 16:02 1
  - I enjoyed the premise but not the nihilism of it. -- nm - David Jul 18, 16:03
- Even so, I would expect you of all people to appreciate the courage of making an overly complex, arthouse-y film rather than some generic action flick - David Jul 18, 15:59 7
  - The plot was more complex than a generic action film, but the characters weren't. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 16:04 6
    - Spoilers - David Jul 18, 16:06 5
      - Primer knew it was just a puzzle and therefore was 70-something minutes long instead of 2-1/2 hours. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 16:09 4
        
        Inception needs at least 2 hours due to all of the moving parts and you know that I'm normally someone who doesn't feel that way about movies. - David Jul 18, 16:11 3
        
        If I had cared about any of the characters, the length wouldn't have been a problem. Eames was the only character I liked but I didn't care about him. -- nm - Dano Jul 18, 16:20 2
        
        he steals the movie from all the stars -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 16:23 1
        
        or should i say . . . extracts - chuckles Jul 18, 16:27
nobody can be *told* what Inception is. although Chris Nolan sure tried his hardest -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 15:53 3
- You have told everyone in ST what it is. "spoiler guy" LOL -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 15:56 2
  - where? -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 15:58 1
    - It would be easier if I just pointed out the posts where you didn't. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 16:01
I knew you wouldn't miss the 50 Years Storm. -- nm - David Jul 18, 15:53
Get Him To The Greek: C+ I was expecting it to be better, not sure why. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 15:51 2
- Craptacular first, sorry. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 15:51 1
  - Puts you on the Firsts Offender Registry -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 15:53
