One of the worst things in my line of work: removing, cleaning, and reinstalling the filter element to a D.E. filter. It could be a Dirty Jobs episode - CQ Jul 26, 13:17 2
- sfek! you ahould contact Mike Rowe at discovery channel. -- nm - Trish Jul 26, 13:33
- You should contact -- nm - Trish Jul 26, 13:31
LIR: Jax: The Spike Wall. Yes. I hate the fact that it's an instant wipeout. They also must film all the episodes with a certain set of obstacles - oblique Jul 26, 13:16 1
- Agree, I'm sure they change it up before (or after?) airing. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:18

I think I saw someone's head bend like the chick's in #6. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 13:11 3

Just saw Inception - can someone please explain something to me? (spoils) - kelly Jul 26, 13:06 22
- (oh, and Inception: A. Loved it. Also contained one of the most amazing sequences I've ever seen on film.) - kelly Jul 26, 13:16 10
  - Spoiler - amoxy Jul 26, 13:18 2
    - I loved that and - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:20
    - yes to your IM. *loved* it. -- nm - kelly Jul 26, 13:19
  - See it in IMAX. (Or did you?) - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:18 6
    - I saw it in IMAX and had a terrible time with the sound. - Callisto Jul 26, 13:22 4
      - IIRC you voiced similar issues with The Dark Knight. - Black Rabbit Jul 26, 13:37 2
        
        I did. Maybe our IMAX is super sucky. - Callisto Jul 26, 13:39 1
        
        See my IM! -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 26, 13:40
      - weird. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:35
    - No to IMAX. - kelly Jul 26, 13:19

  - ahhh, I'm slow. (spoils) - kelly Jul 26, 13:11 3
    - It's a shame you can't get subtitles with every flick you see in the theater. I'm so used to using them at home that I really miss them. -- nm - Trish Jul 26, 13:43
    - I had the same problem understanding him as well. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:15 1
      - Ditto. nm - Dignan Jul 26, 13:17
  - I think (spoils) - Epiphany Jul 26, 13:10
That otherwise normal seeming people are obsessed with Glee is mystifying to me. - Reagen Jul 26, 13:05 51
- I've seen parts of it here and there. - znufrii Jul 26, 13:21
- When it's "off", there are still a lot of funny lines (Jane Lynch) and when it's "on", the show is divine. - Trish Jul 26, 13:14 1
  - this...please tell crash to play Ika. -- nm - Beaker Jul 26, 13:14
- positively or negatively? - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:14 8
  - this isn't sight-unseen criticism, BTW - Reagen Jul 26, 13:23 2
    - fair enough... - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:26 1
      - A good example: They took the pregnancy plot and used it in the finale in a way that was some very fine television combining - oblique Jul 26, 13:29
  - Not to overdrill the point, but didn't My So-Called Life hammer that a decade ago? - TFox Jul 26, 13:17 4
    - I don't recall as I didn't watch it much. - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:28
    - mscl addressed part of it, sure; but not everything. you're dismissing all of "glee" based on one ep. not pushing you to watch more, but that's not - b. Jul 26, 13:20 2
      - it's just making fun of a tv show. i'm not trying to achieve the same level of fairness as hiring policies or housing discrimination. - TFox Jul 26, 13:30 1
        
        the mockery is baffling to those of us who watch it however. - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:39
- Never seen it, never will. nm - Dignan Jul 26, 13:13 2
  - My brutha! - Black Rabbit Jul 26, 13:16 1
    - My "brutha" wouldn't have watched a single episode. nm - Dignan Jul 26, 13:20
- I enjoy it moderately, but it sure slid downhill from the pilot. With the exception of Joss's episode. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 26, 13:09 6
  - Wheadon episode was a miss unfortunately. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:16 4
    - Safety Dance Flash Mob! -- nm - Diva Jul 26, 13:26 3
      - That was it's brilliant spot. - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:28 1
        
        its. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 26, 13:29
      - "Flash Mop" is a very unpleasant thought. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jul 26, 13:27
  - this -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:09
- I agree with this completely and I'd like to add Wipeout to the list. - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:09 17
  - Forget MXC or Wipeout, Ninja Warrior is where the real pros play. -- nm - Qale Jul 26, 13:20
  - It's on par with MXC. The first round is about watching people crash. - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:11 4
    - The last round = endurance. It's more about who isn't exhausted, lately -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:13 3
      - Yeah, the Agitator/Washer thing is *killer*. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:19 2
        
        oddly though, it seems easy enough after you've seen it. Hang onto a divider, spin around, jump off. People spend way too much energy trying to - oblique Jul 26, 13:21 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:22
  - see, i totally agree with this. boring and repetative. but hey, if people like it, then, cool. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 13:10
  - the japaneese original is even worse i imagine -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:10 4
    - I suspect you are correct. The English dub amuses me. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:12 3
      - seen "takeshi's castle" (or whatever it's called) too? - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:14 2
        
        In the US they took that show, gave it an English dubbed soundtrack that mocks everyone, and call it MXC. That's the comparison I'm making. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:17
        
        found it -- (link) - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:16 [youtube]
  - how can you not like Wipeout? -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:09 4
    - Honestly, I find it really boring and ultra dumb. The first time I ever saw (or even heard about) it, was in the hospital. I woke up to it on the tv - Trish Jul 26, 13:26
    - I love MXC. Wipeout just doesn't bring the funny. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:11 2
      - What is MXC? -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:13 1
        
        Some Japanese show that's similar here with really crummy English dubbing - Will Hunting Jul 26, 13:13
- I have never watched the show -- nm - amoxy Jul 26, 13:06 10
  - It was on at the doctor's waiting room once. Just shrill and obnoxious. -- nm - con_carne Jul 26, 13:16
  - less than 5 min here - Danedukenuuk Jul 26, 13:08
  - I saw one; heard the plotting mysteries here and since i'm not a musical person....no loss to me - Will Hunting Jul 26, 13:07
  - it's pretty much unwatchable - decline Jul 26, 13:06 6
    - except to the millions of people who watch it. not everyone has the same tastes - I don't get dismissing something because it's not for you. -- nm - b. Jul 26, 13:07 5
      - I don't get dismissing someone dismissing other people. (nm) - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:10 1
        
        takes every kind of people, fuzz. -- nm - b. Jul 26, 13:11
      - i feel this way too. there is plenty of tv i think is horrendous, i just don't comment on it. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 13:08 2
        
        I took aim at the entire Bravo network the other day. -- nm - Qale Jul 26, 13:21 1
        
        i actually don't mind people who watch something discussing the pros/cons of a show or episode. i just don't like wholesale dismissals. -- nm - Andie Jul 26, 13:44
Just saw David's twitter on Inception. That's awesome! -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jul 26, 13:01 17
- The only cure for the repost: the no-post. -- nm - TFox Jul 26, 13:02 16
  - Maybe you should follow David on Twitter? Get with the times, ludite. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Jul 26, 13:03 15
    - Spawn : Facebook :: TFox : Twitter -- nm - TFox Jul 26, 13:04 11
      - See, I can understand following a few people you like on Twitter. - Black Rabbit Jul 26, 13:11
      - yeah, I just.....can't.....do......it. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 26, 13:06 9
        
        and you just exceeded the character limit with all those periods. - TFox Jul 26, 13:08
        
        If I want to let the world know what I'm thinking, I can do it on my facebook status. Not sure why you need 15 different options to say the same -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 13:07 7
        
        This. And I quickly lost any interest in letting the world know what I'm thinking on FB too. -- nm - Fuzzy Jul 26, 13:15
        
        it's just another thing. I don't get having a lot of exposure over multiple sites; but not everyone uses fb or wants all that is involved with using - b. Jul 26, 13:10 4
        
        I have compartments. Facebook = real-live friends only. LinkedIn = business. Twitter = public stuff (photos, tech news, etc.) that I feel like - oblique Jul 26, 13:12 3
        
        that's understandable. it's the same info. in multiple places all the time thing that's odd to me. -- nm - b. Jul 26, 13:17 2
        
        Me too. I'm more or less a compartmentalist (like Kilbo). -- nm - Callisto Jul 26, 13:25
        
        yeah, I never have one linked to the other but sometimes I post the same thing in multiple places (interesting links, etc.) - oblique Jul 26, 13:19
        
        because its the future. -- nm - TFox Jul 26, 13:08
    - I'd like to see it too since I just watched it yesterday - can you repost it for us? please. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 26, 13:04 2
      - here: - b. Jul 26, 13:05 1
        
        hee - love it -- nm - Epiphany Jul 26, 13:09
