It's hard to have a better opening credits sequence than Zombieland. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 19:45 3

Previously, on Childrens Hospital... -- nm - nubby Jul 18, 19:29 4
- oh man. is it wrong that I'm imagining general hospital romance plots with, like, doctors who are six years old or less? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:30 3
  - (You know what i mean. Like that movie.) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:31 2

        spoilers - Bacon Jul 18, 19:40 1
        
        oh yeah, you do! - loosilu Jul 18, 19:49
- I think the hospital I was born in ... burned down. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:27 2
  - do you blame them? -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:28 1
    - Well, by Hellboy logic, extreme measures clearly had to be taken to close the portal ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:30
Video of Alvin Greene's (apparently) first campaign speech. -- (link) - nubby Jul 18, 18:56
the vicious kind, i think i give it a B -------- (its almost a C+) - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 18:56
Probably already been done ST poll: Who is the closest STer with your taste in movies. (I need to think about this one a little bit) -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:55 35
- According to Flixster on FB it's HdnAgenda, follwed closely by Amy, and the nubster -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 18, 19:14
- Whoever it was who also thought that Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was the best movie of 2004 - prayformojo Jul 18, 19:12 2
  - What else came out in 04? Because I really enjoyed Sky Captain - TWuG Jul 18, 19:16 1
    - Million Dollar Baby, Aviator, Spidey 2.... - Will Hunting Jul 18, 19:37
- dignan (nm) - David Jul 18, 19:05
- I think it would be insulting to someone if I self-assessed this one. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:05 4
  - Yeah, please don't pick me. There are actually some movies I don't like. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 19:06 3
    - Hey, there are movies that I don't like, too. Like Gigli. and The Aviator. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:25 2
      - Did those get B+' -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 19:27 1
        
        No, I don't think so. Probably gave them Fs. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:28
- jack and i seem to line up a tremendous amount. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 19:02 1
  - Awww, sweet irony. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 18, 19:04
- wiggie. -- nm - Callisto Jul 18, 19:00 8
  - i think Almost Famous is probably our dealbreaker - chuckles Jul 18, 19:08
  - according to FB, I am a close match with both of you. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:08 3
    - but this was a surprise: My highest ranked FB/ST movie buddy was nubby! -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:12 2
      - tied with: ty97 and HdnAgenda. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:13 1
        
        also: psilotum and kare are ranked high as well. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:15
  - i was going to say you, actually. we're 100% lockstep on animation. - TFox Jul 18, 19:06 1
    - oh, yeah. I'm pretty sure we also line up very well. -- nm - Callisto Jul 18, 19:09
  - Swear to God, I was thinking, "Hmmmmm, probably Kim." nm - ralph wiggum Jul 18, 19:04
- Trish -- nm - ceregon Jul 18, 18:59
- amanda, mostly -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 18:58
- Definitely JaxSean. -- nm - kelly Jul 18, 18:58 1
  - Yup, and vice-versa. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 18, 19:18
- Mine might be Krusty. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:58 1
  - I think you may be right. Out tastes seem to match very often. -- nm - Krusty Jul 18, 20:01
- according to the FB movies app, it's Mrs. CCC. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:55 7
  - How do you find that? I can't find a sort function. -- nm - nubby Jul 18, 19:08 6
    - clicked on "friends" then just flipped through. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:14 5
      - There's also on the right hand side a "Good" and "Bad" sort -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 18, 19:16 4
        
        oh, I didn't even see that! under "COmpatibility" -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:17 3
        
        wait, no. It's not there and I still don't see it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:19 2
        
        On my page it's on the right hand side, under the Invite More Friends box and is titled "Friend Matches" -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 18, 19:22 1
        
        I don't seem to have that. bummer. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:28
the first (30? 35?) minutes of Cloudy w/a Chance of Meatballs that I saw today was just great - prayformojo Jul 18, 18:54 3
- I enjoyed it, but I wish they wouldn't have connected it to the book. -- nm - nubby Jul 18, 19:05
- wonder what. -- nm - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 18:56
- Next: Meet the Robinsons! -- nm - David Jul 18, 18:55
I'm breaking up with Dano. I'm honestly shocked at his grade for Inception. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 18, 18:48 9
- don't worry dano, i'll make out with you for it. should we tape a Q&A like in those straight to gay videos?? -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 18:58 4
  - Like everyone doesn't fast forward through that part. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 19:07 3
    - dano doesn't! it's his favorite -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 19:08 2
      - Dano is one strange cat. And I like tentacle porn. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 19:18 1
        
        I.... tentacle porn???? - loosilu Jul 18, 19:20
- Dano's grading of movies is the ultimate wildcard. I've long since given up on guessing what he'll like/hate. -- nm - David Jul 18, 18:51 3
  - I'm just very surprised at this one. - JaxSean Jul 18, 19:17 2
    - I'm surprised in that it's a scientist's type of film. I would expect most math/stats/logic fans to love it. -- nm - David Jul 18, 19:19 1
      - I didnt' see the movie or read Dano's thoughts, but sometimes a scientist can hate a science-y film. they have to be done right. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:21
Mmm, grilled boneless pork chops are really very good!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 18:44 6
- Pork chops always sound so good when other people mention them, but I hardly ever make them myself -- nm - prayformojo Jul 18, 18:46 5
  - I generally buy them from Costco, but those are so thick they have to be butterflied. These started out as a whole - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 18:49
  - lots of things sound good to me when other people are making them -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 18:48 3
    - I am chopping up some avocados for some delicious guacamole. mmmmm it smells wonderful -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 19:04 1
      - :( I wish I could still eat avocado. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 19:04
    - Funny thing - I tend to rate a restaurant on its service because I always think I could cook as well (or better) at home :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Jul 18, 18:50
a couple of months ago, I donated a couple of small landscape paintings (8x10) to a charity auction. Guess how much they sold for apiece? CTTP. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:40 35
- $500 - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 18, 18:48 6
  - You win a painting of a submerged pickup truck -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:57 5
    - you are such a jerkface. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:59 4
      - *I'm* the one who said it looked like that and *he* gets the "jerkface" label? -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 19:09 3
        
        you were forgiven due to your subsequent flattering comments. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:10 2
        
        and what, you *want* to be called a jerkface? -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:10 1
        
        If you're going to blame, lay it where it belongs is all I'm saying. :-) -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 19:16
- $99 -- nm - Ender Jul 18, 18:46
- $200 -- nm - kelly Jul 18, 18:43
- $75 -- nm - peglegpete Jul 18, 18:43
- $500 - Bacon Jul 18, 18:42 9
  - Winner!!! - loosilu Jul 18, 18:45 8
    - Don Homer!! That's wonderful! -- nm - mara Jul 18, 19:14 1
      - I was stunned, truly. I expected half that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:16
    - Awesome! I think you should maybe find yourself a gallery and try to turn painting into a living. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:49 5
      - there's a lot I need to learn about selling. it is my calling, for sure. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:51 4
        
        That's why you find a gallery. They act as an agent and handle the business while you handle the creation. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:52 3
        
        oh, I know. I need to learn how to deal with galleries. there's a class at my local art league about going pro. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:53 2
        
        Go pro! You have the time. Do it tomorrow. Make this happen. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:55 1
        
        I know I'm good enough, actually. Have been to numerous shows where I was better than the artist showing. - loosilu Jul 18, 18:56
- and here is B. You can guess one number since they both sold for the same price. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 18, 18:42 [flickr] 12
  - That's cool. Where'd you find a pick-up truck sunk up to it's hood? - TWuG Jul 18, 18:43 11
    - Because that's what it is? -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:45 10
      - kid, your face is a sunked pickup truck. - loosilu Jul 18, 18:47 9
        
        I didn't see what it really was until I read the description. It's one of those pics where you see two things depending on what your mind picks out. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:48 8
        
        I can't see it as a pickup even if I try to. -- nm - mara Jul 18, 19:23 1
        
        *thank* you. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:36
        
        The auction was held at a building literally right next to that bridge, so I'm guessing the bidders saw the bridge. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:49 5
        
        Also - it's a charity auction. - kelly Jul 18, 18:53 4
        
        that is true, believe me I know. But I'm also a no name. If I were a name artist it would have gone far higher. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 18:55 3
        
        I think it's an impressive number, and they're both very nice paintings. Good work :) - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:04 2
        
        I think if you folks saw it in real life you wouldn't see "truck". The photo messes things up a bit. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 19:07 1
        
        Oh, agreed. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 19:26
- painting A is here. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 18, 18:41 [flickr]
- $135 and $98 -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 18:41

Christian Kane has a pretty good singing voice. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 18:34
Just finished watching Covert Affairs... - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 18, 18:26
i did not realize that Total Recall was a book written by Piers Anthony. - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 18:09 8
- Bzzt! Based on the Philip K Dick story "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale." -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 18:15 7
  - so amazon lies? -- (link) - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 18:18 6
    - *hands Tru my reading glasses* - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jul 18, 18:26
    - I guess ity depends on what your initial post meant. The movie is based on a Dick short story. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:26 2
      - naw, i just meant i didnt even know there was a novel - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 18:28 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 18:33
    - No. Just the reviewer. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 18:20
    - novelization -- nm - chuckles Jul 18, 18:20
The Last Airbender: D. Simply awful. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 18, 18:02 4
- From the ads, I calculated that about 0% of it occurred in daylight. The recent ads boost this to 15%. Would you say that's accurate? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 18:07 1
  - I hadn't thought about it but now that you mention it, the entire movie looks like it was filmed in twilight. - Fuzzy Jul 18, 18:09
- I thank ST for saving me from it. -- nm - Bacon Jul 18, 18:04 1
  - I went in with really low expectations. It still threw under them. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 18, 18:07
it's *totally* a movie for women. - TFox Jul 18, 17:56 13
- "It's pretty much not a movie for women." Oh lord. -- nm - kelly Jul 18, 18:13 9
  - ? -- nm - con_carne Jul 18, 18:15 8
    - I do enjoy/appreciate movies that may not be geared towards women. - kelly Jul 18, 18:20 7
      - Eh, my post was about your choice of words, more than anything. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 18, 18:28
      - you're not really the best spokeswoman for "women" though. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 18:23 5
        
        aww, I love you too. -- nm - kelly Jul 18, 18:31 2
        
        what, i can't cherish you and recognize you're dudish at the same time? -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 18:36 1
        
        Kelly is not a dud. - TWuG Jul 18, 18:41
