- put it in the travel case until the appt and show it who the Food Giver is. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 25, 07:30 1

- Spoil me? - con_carne Jan 25, 07:32
- nice. i was especially impressed when Callisto's friend posted about amanda's mom's house yesterday. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 07:16 23
  - yeah, kind of amusing. the world is smaller every day because of facebook. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 07:18 21
    - true that, but it's nothing new, really. - znufrii Jan 25, 07:22 16
      - do you also have a theory that the earth will continue to turn on its axis, or that snow is really made of frozen water? -- nm - TFox Jan 25, 07:30 11
        
        more along the lines that it si due to something intrinsic in the human condition, rather than something that just happens that way. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 07:31 10

        dude is being an ass. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 07:36 2
        
        he has a theory that people want to know other people. it's a hypothesis, really. if he doesn't test it, how could we ever know it was true?! -- nm - TFox Jan 25, 07:38
        
        It's *TFox*. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 07:38

      - Spoils - MDH Jan 25, 07:21 4
        
        that sounds like a train wreck and not a good movie -- nm - Epiphany Jan 25, 07:25 1
        
        I really wonder how this script was even considered. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 07:26
        
        jeez. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 07:22 1

  - he totally could -- nm - zork Jan 25, 07:08
  - that was a bit in Liar Liar. but there IS a movie like this... more a teen thing... name escapes me. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 07:06 5

Keanu Reeves signed on to do 2 more Matrix movies? Does anyone even want to see them? - Bacon Jan 25, 06:53 11
- The Matrix trilogy should be a case study on how to do a trilogy wrong. -- nm - Jovian Jan 25, 07:10
- uh... no. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 06:58
- I can't recall if I have seen 3 - so my answer is no -- nm - Epiphany Jan 25, 06:58
- I think this development rumor has already been quashed. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 25, 06:58 1
  - I heard this on the news this morning that he signed on. -- nm - Bacon Jan 25, 07:13
- I love #2...#3 was not good. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 06:55 1

  - you're not the only one. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 25, 06:55
  - I loved 2, but thought 3 was really boring. -- nm - mafic Jan 25, 06:54
They should have the regular Oscars and a Fun Oscars where gems like The Other Guys are nominated. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 25, 06:52 4
- You mean the Razzies where The Other Guys should be nominated? :-) - MDH Jan 25, 06:53 1

Didn't work, kilbo. And yes, Excel pinned to the taskbar doesn't show recent items either. - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:44 4

  - Greenlight that! -- nm - NBC Jan 25, 06:54
  - sample dialog: - prayformojo Jan 25, 06:46
- I hate action movies but gave Salt a chance. I had to stop it 1/2 way through and google spoil the rest. It was unbearable. -- nm - Hotkiss Jan 25, 06:40 4
  - I decided to never take movie advice from one of my colleagues after she ranked both salt and sex and the city 2 "fantastic!" -- nm - mafic Jan 25, 06:44 2
    - ok, that's a dating dealbreaker. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 07:02

- 1. Social Network 2. Inception 3. The Fighter -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 07:12
- Well, I've only seen 2, but I'll say that Inception was better than Toy Story 3. -- nm - Amy Jan 25, 07:00
- Black Swan's at the top, 127 Hours at the bottom. - Ender Jan 25, 06:51
- I will after the AMC weekend. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 25, 06:51
- my list... - Kim Pine Jan 25, 06:50
- [deleted] 1
  - My rankings... - Mel Profit Jan 25, 06:55
- like, for how good they were, or how much I liked them? because I loved the town, but it wasn't the awesomest from a filmmaking perspective. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 06:40
- black swan, true grit, inception, king's speech, social network, toy story 3. -- nm - mafic Jan 25, 06:39
- My list, and they'd all be > A-. - nubby Jan 25, 06:38
- [deleted] 20
  - 1) Kings Speech --- 2) Inception --- 10) Toy Story 3. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 06:37 19
    - 127 Hours is too slow and The Kids Are All Right is too blah. -- nm - David Jan 25, 06:37 18
      - Yeah, I'll get around to those with this flash drive I was given. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 06:40 17
        
        Everything is better than A Single Man, anyway. -- nm - David Jan 25, 06:40 16
        
        Wasn't A Single Man Firth's movie from last year and A Serious Man being the Coen's dreck? - Will Hunting Jan 25, 06:44 13
        
        Yeah, whatever. -- nm - David Jan 25, 07:04

        There are *far* worse Best Picture nominees. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 06:46 10
        
        Go ahead and name em...cuz I'm not finding any. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 06:50 9
        
        Here are some from recent years as bad or worse... - Don Homer Jan 25, 06:53 8
        
        I would have been with you if you'd left Juno (especially) and Capote off the list. - David Jan 25, 07:05
        
        Capote is a very good movie, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jan 25, 06:59 1
        
        Yeah, I thought about taking it off. I don't love it, but it's not bad. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 07:00
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        how so? -- nm - Don Homer Jan 25, 06:58 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I'd still put every single one of those ahead of it. They were either better acted, more insightful or more entertaining. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 06:57 1
        
        *shrugs* I'm not going to defend ASM as a great movie, but for me it's better, or about the same, than each of those. - Don Homer Jan 25, 06:57
        
        why do you hate gay men, David? -- nm - mafic Jan 25, 06:42 1
        
        Because of Bravo reality shows, mainly. -- nm - David Jan 25, 06:43
