- I always do that with that song -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 09:41
- I would have immediately thought of this. - Spawn Jan 25, 09:39
Google Offers is available to be added to your iGoogle. Not *at all* what I expected. -- (link) - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 09:36 1

"3-D films are doing something that 600 million years of evolution never prepared people for.� -- (link) - HdnAgnda Jan 25, 09:28 14
- Well, it's a good thing the author is approaching the subject without preconceptions or bias -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 09:47 3
  - Eh, he is someone who knows more about this stuff than you, so you should just listen. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:49 2
    - Ooh. Yes sir. -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 09:51 1
      - Well said. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:52
- I personally would disagree with him. I don't get headaches or see it as darker or lose focus, particularly on cgi-rendered 3D movies like Avatar. - JaxSean Jan 25, 09:39 2
  - and i agree with him, because though I like 3d movies, they always give me a headache - tRuMaN Jan 25, 09:41
  - You are still forcing the eyes to do things that they are not normally going to do. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:40
- I have to agree with him. The fact that we can't choose what we focus on still makes it feel unrealistic - Guigue Jan 25, 09:38
- We've seen the guy with the electrodes that make the eyelids blink repeatedly in order to generate a 3D image, right? -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 09:38
- I just love that it still gave a positive shoutout to Tron -- nm - Jovian Jan 25, 09:33
- 600 million years of evolution? -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 09:30 2
  - Our ancestors used to be fish, then they got sick of the water and said to themselves fuck this for a bag of soldiers, grew legs and partied on land. -- nm - Loyola Jan 25, 09:36 1
    - this goes against God's word -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 09:45
- *Favourite*s -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:30
can someone tell me, is mofi.woot another one of their sites - tRuMaN Jan 25, 09:27 2
- they list occasional offshoot deals there -- nm - TFox Jan 25, 09:31
- err, moofi.woot -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 25, 09:29
god I'm so needy today. I think I may be getting sick. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 09:26 6
- Boo-hoo. Nobody loves you. You work your ass off and get zero appreciation or recognition. But you do it because they NEED you. Now nut up! - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 09:32
- does Zenos deliver?!! sorry you are going through this and your family as well. - Epiphany Jan 25, 09:28
- that was me yesterday. - tRuMaN Jan 25, 09:28 2
  - me neither. hence me being needy at you all. -- nm - amanda jones Jan 25, 09:35 1
    - which is cool with me. - tRuMaN Jan 25, 09:36
- {{{hugs}}} -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:27

wow. as of tomorrow, I will have been in this job for 3 years. -- nm - znufrii Jan 25, 09:24 3
- welcome to my yesterday (but luckily, I like my job quite a bit, so this is a good thing :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 09:44 1
  - I'm certainly not complaining - znufrii Jan 25, 09:55
- Whoa. Way to slum. Time to start looking. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 09:25
This is the greatest WTForever21 of all time. -- (link) - Amy Jan 25, 09:21
Snow storm tomorrow (Thunder Snow) - and I just received Dead Space 2 - decline Jan 25, 09:19
Hang on! Penelope guest starred on Ugly Betty, didn't she? -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 09:17 33
- I think Spawn hit the nail on the head with this blind item. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 09:24 1
  - heh. I was just reading Dlisted, and he concurs. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:26
- I would like her to hang on me -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 09:21
- Who knows? - Spawn Jan 25, 09:21
- She's a very busy actress besides cameos. I was thinking Salma, but I don't think she has an actress husband. -- nm - Roger More Jan 25, 09:19 2
  - Salma's husband is a rich french dude. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 09:19
  - *actor* husband -- nm - Roger More Jan 25, 09:19
- That was such a badly written blurb.... - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:19 25
  - and how isn't Julia Roberts an a-lister? she has been for 10 years -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 09:19 24
    - She hasn't been A-list as a movie star for the past few years, She's still an A List Celebrity though. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 09:22 9
      - When she dropped out of Gravity, it nearly killed the movie because the studio thought there wasn't a single actress that audiences would be - Roger More Jan 25, 09:26 2
        
        True. I'm not saying she still doesn't have pull, but she's not level she was. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 09:30 1
        
        "B" or "C-List" is just not something that describes her accurately, though. In any way (yet). -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 09:34
      - She's still A-List actress. Julia Roberts could get almost any project moving forward just by saying she's in. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:24 5
        
        I think that door is rapidlly closing for her. She took 4 years off to raise a kid (which is cool)....but her audience moved on... - Remlik Jan 25, 09:29 3
        
        EPL did 80 million. not a bomb -- nm - dead like pixie Jan 25, 09:46
        
        the rom-com she and Tom Hanks are doing could be very telling. -- nm - decline Jan 25, 09:31 1
        
        From the IMDB description, it sounds like a rip-off of "Community" -- (link) - amoxy Jan 25, 09:34
        
        Yes, she will no longer be A-list when she makes a string of stinkers - con_carne Jan 25, 09:26
    - Under the Cruz-Bardem-Roberts scenario, Cruz is the almost A-lister. -- nm - Roger More Jan 25, 09:21 10
      - That makes sense. I agree with Spawn. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:25 9
        
        "only does TV cameos" though -- nm - Roger More Jan 25, 09:26 8
        
        Ugly Betty. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:29 3
        
        And 30 Rock for a few. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:36 2
        
        Sounds like we really mean "guest starring role." Cameos are only for a scene or two. -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 09:50 1
        
        Abbreviation! -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:55
        
        You're reading it wrong...he means to say, she only cameos when she's on tv. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:28 3
        
        What a weird way to phrase it. Like they need to differentiate her from Tina Fey -- nm - Roger More Jan 25, 09:41 2
        
        Tina is pretty far from A-list. - Spawn Jan 25, 09:42 1
        
        I'd rate her around the same as Cruz (in terms of getting a movie going) but they do very different things -- nm - Roger More Jan 25, 09:54
    - anyway, the blurb says the second one is A list. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 09:21 1
      - That's right. Cruz is the almost a-lister, Roberts is the a-lister. The glove fits. -- nm - Mop (214 lbs) Jan 25, 09:24
    - 10? try 20. -- nm - loosilu Jan 25, 09:20
House cast in limbo for Season 8 -- (link) - Remlik Jan 25, 09:17 3
- "Although Hugh Laurie is on board...." end of the story. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:20 2
  - I hear Mischa Barton is looking for work -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 09:21 1
    - As the patient this week, Mischa....what's wrong with her House? "Everything, you dumbass." -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:22
I miss Lord John Marbury. -- nm - David Jan 25, 09:15 3

- Foreigners should be made to speak English. -- nm - Loyola Jan 25, 09:16
"As the kids on the South Side would say, Toy Story 3 ain't all that." -- nm - con_carne Jan 25, 09:13 5
- Kids on the South Side are dumb? -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:14 4
  - you tell me...you live on the South Side. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 09:18 3
    - I do not live in Indianapolis. -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:21 2
      - you live in the 'wood. That is the southside for Indy. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 09:31 1
        
        We are a free agent!!! -- nm - Spawn Jan 25, 09:32

- *stands* clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap. -- nm - Congress Jan 25, 09:16 3
  - Wouldn't it be great if the whole of Congress sang "We will rock you", for charity! -- nm - Loyola Jan 25, 09:17
  - I would expect booing as they all want a piece of his money -- nm - Beaker Jan 25, 09:17 1
    - But that would go against the Pavlovian-esque response. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jan 25, 09:19
- What movie would Obama shill for? Inception? - Name Withheld By Request Jan 25, 09:15 9
  - "I blame my low approval ratings on George Bush, still stuck in your collective unconscious." - Dr.Vermin Jan 25, 09:29 8

      - [deleted] 6
        
        Heh -" number of polls: 347" -- nm - Roger More Jan 25, 09:53
        
        Last I heard, he had his highest approval in over a year. - David Jan 25, 09:50 2
        
        Yeah...it's by no means high. - Will Hunting Jan 25, 09:53 1
        
        54% isn't good? He won with 52.9. -- nm - David Jan 25, 09:56

- I wonder what it was like for Zuckerberg to learn of this morning's nominations for The Social Network. -- nm - David Jan 25, 09:15 7
  - "Steve Jobs who?" -- nm - the Zuck Jan 25, 09:15
  - I'm sure he just rolled over onto the next pile of money he has -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 09:15 5
    - He's insecure to begin with. And now the Academy has just laminated the movie that shows what a punk he is. - David Jan 25, 09:16 4
      - I don't disagree.....but I think he doens't worry about it. - Remlik Jan 25, 09:19 1
        
        if he is anything like his character in the movie - he does worry. he worries about it a lot -- nm - Epiphany Jan 25, 09:28
      - *buys the studio and fires everyone involved in the making of the movie* - Mark Zuckerberg Jan 25, 09:18 1
