So what was your favourite Peter Forsberg comeback moment? -- (link) - Reagen Feb 14, 10:05 1
- Wow, Barry Trotz was lavish with his praise of Forsberg on Friday, saying Forsberg still played at a high level. - David Feb 14, 10:10

- You and Ann are your Mom and her man's plus ones. -- nm - Amy Feb 14, 10:11
- Dress up for the party like one of the staff, then throw her out of the party, and say, "No ticket." to anyone close by. -- nm - Inigo Feb 14, 10:10 2
  - that would be awesome if the party was on a blimp -- nm - dogbert Feb 14, 10:11 1
    - frenemy is the blimp, and tickets are two dollars. -- nm - Max Feb 14, 10:13
- holy shit. watch her take part of the gate, too. -- nm - Max Feb 14, 10:09 1
  - 40/60 is fair, right? -- nm - the frenemy si Feb 14, 10:10

- That's absurd. -- nm - pmb Feb 14, 10:08
- did you mom have to buy a ticket too? -- nm - dogbert Feb 14, 10:07 1
  - you = your - dogbert Feb 14, 10:08
- I'd be livid. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 10:07
- wow. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 14, 10:07
- the obvious answer is to TP her car during the event. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 14, 10:06
- crash it. -- nm - znufrii Feb 14, 10:06 2
  - Totally, just show up. There's no way they can keep you out. -- nm - Subversive Feb 14, 10:07 1
    - this -- nm - Beaker Feb 14, 10:08
- why should either of you have to buy a ticket? -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 10:06 5

- wtf? that's bullshit. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 10:06
LIR: I caught a couple getting it on a few weeks ago at the theater. She was going down on him before the projector was even started. So the lights - sycor Feb 14, 09:58 13
- (alternately, since you got the money for the admission, you're kind of a pimp.) -- nm - Max Feb 14, 10:03 1
  - speaking of, we think we did see a "deal" go down the other week. Girl comes in dressed nice for a midnite show. Dude comes in a few minutes later and - sycor Feb 14, 10:11
- So next time you'll show more interesting movies sooner. -- nm - Max Feb 14, 10:02 2
  - we have scheduled start times! -- nm - sycor Feb 14, 10:08 1
    - Unless you're on cialis you can't schedule this kind of moment! -- nm - Max Feb 14, 10:10
- ew. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 10:00
- Why not just let them continue? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:59 6
  - because if they were going to do that with the lights all the way up they may have gotten loud and started running around naked when the lights dimmed - sycor Feb 14, 10:09
  - The movie was Tangled. -- nm - pmb Feb 14, 10:05
  - Seriously, it's only what? 1 or 2 minutes? :) -- nm - oblique Feb 14, 10:00 3
    - because odds are that they didn't bring any wet naps to clean up - dogbert Feb 14, 10:03 2

      - just, no. get a room. go to the car. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 10:03
I'd reveal Tru's real name but pusher/client confidentiality prevents me. -- nm - Remlik Feb 14, 09:58 2
- this reminds me. i owe thanks to someone for that book, yes? - tRuMaN Feb 14, 10:00 1

After seeing Eisenberg at (the SAGs was it) I get the impression that he's either not given up Zuckerberg for the season or he's just not approachable - Max Feb 14, 09:56 4
- I think he's pretty Michael Cera-ish at playing pretty much the same character in every movie. - Dr.Vermin Feb 14, 09:59 1
  - He's what Cera dreams of being. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:59
- He was very relaxed and casual on SNL. A real natural. -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 09:58
- His talk show interviews are uncomfortable to watch. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 14, 09:58

So while trying to find something to watch last night I caught the last 15 minutes of Harry's Law and I think that was enough to know that it's not a - Stephen, Most Miserable Poster in America Feb 14, 09:55 5
- Show's not like that actually. The rest of the episode was essentially an old lady battle between the client and kathy Bates. - Jim Feb 14, 09:56
- it's decent. I liked Boston Legal quite a bit and while this isn't as good Shooter McGavin is in it and he's excellent. -- nm - Remlik Feb 14, 09:56 2
  - this. If anything, I hate the courtroom stuff - like most David Kelly stuff. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 14, 09:58 1
    - so then this show is not for you. -- nm - Remlik Feb 14, 09:58
- (sorry, spoilers up there I guess) -- nm - Stephen, Most Miserable Poster in America Feb 14, 09:55
Had the a great job last night - requested by the conductor of the Pacific Symphony to bring 4 guests to his home for dinner. I was invited in. We - CrankYanker Feb 14, 09:52 1
- Great, now I'm even more hungry. Sounds amazing. -- nm - LMS Feb 14, 09:57
Well hello, Jennifer Lawrence. -- (link) - Reagen Feb 14, 09:50 7
- Great dress. But she looks much like Hayden Panettiere. -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 10:00 2
  - I think we need her, Hayden, and Quinn from GLEE to star together in some kind of hot, steamy, threesome movie -- nm - oblique Feb 14, 10:01 1
    - I think I've had this dream. -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 10:03
- She reminds me a bit of Joey Lauren Adams. -- nm - Subversive Feb 14, 09:53 1
  - Hopefully she doesn't have an annoying voice like JLA does. -- nm - Stephen, Most Miserable Poster in America Feb 14, 10:04
- She's going to be a star. -- nm - David Feb 14, 09:52
- *I'll be in my bunk* -- nm - Stephen Feb 14, 09:51

LYC: My hair is *huge* today for no apparent reason. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 09:46 4
- congrats from someone with almost no hair :) -- nm - peglegpete Feb 14, 09:47
- Is that your mating ritual? -- nm - oblique Feb 14, 09:47 2
  - it's the "in heat" signal. -- nm - Remlik Feb 14, 09:48 1
    - at least it's not my butt. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 09:52
Question on Social Network screenplay - znufrii Feb 14, 09:45 3
- [deleted] 2
  - [deleted]
  - Thanks. Wasn't sure how much of that would've been in the public record, if it ever made it in front of a judge in the first place prior to settling.. - znufrii Feb 14, 10:03
FYI. Tonight is the Jeopardy show with IBM's Watson. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 14, 09:45
David, what changed your mind since this post? - Inigo Feb 14, 09:44 [Backboard] 3
- I've watched it about 6 more times since then. - David Feb 14, 09:46 2
  - Also, I think I'm in love with Stanford Panties. -- nm - David Feb 14, 09:47 1
    - heh. *nods* -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:48
FWIW, Inception, True Grit and The Social Network all feel like worthy Best Picture winners to me. - David Feb 14, 09:43 32
- [deleted] 13
  - I was surprised by Black Swan. "Oh, this... is a horror movie." - Dr.Vermin Feb 14, 09:56 8
    - Aside from being blown away by Natalie Portman in that movie, I really didn't like it. - pmb Feb 14, 10:02
    - I'm still amazed Blue Velvet got a nomination. -- nm - LMS Feb 14, 10:00 3
      - I think just best director, that's it. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 10:02
      - not for picture, it didn't. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 10:01 1
        
        You're correct. -- nm - LMS Feb 14, 10:06
    - Of course. The Silence of the Lambs won it all. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:57
    - sixth sense. -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 09:57 1
      - Right. Also Jaws. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:58
  - To me, The King's Speech is an ordinary movie with a great performance by Rush. -- nm - David Feb 14, 09:52 3
    - I think it's the least best directing of the group. -- nm - Max Feb 14, 09:59
    - [deleted] 1
      - Agreed. -- nm - MDH Feb 14, 09:55
- Of the 10 (10?! When did they start nominating this many movies?), I've seen Toy Store 3, The Social Network, Inception, and The Fighter. - Subversive Feb 14, 09:47 1
  - They went to 10 last year. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:48
- Just realized how bad I suck this year...Inception is the only nominee I've seen. - Jim Feb 14, 09:45 15
  - same here -- nm - decline Feb 14, 09:48
  - I've done failry well this year. Black Swan, True Grit, Kids Are Allright, Inception, Social. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 14, 09:47
  - True Grit should really be seen in the theater, if you have the chance. - Dr.Vermin Feb 14, 09:46
  - There are many movies better. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:45 11
    - I had it #2 for the year with True Grit #4 and Social Network #5. -- nm - David Feb 14, 09:46 10
      - The plot twists and effects are great, but thin characters + little to care about holds it back for me -- nm - Roger More Feb 14, 09:50 3
        
        *ding* -- nm - Diva Feb 14, 09:56
        
        It doesn't have any heart. I completely agree on that point. -- nm - David Feb 14, 09:51 1
        
        Just thinking about it a little more, the one bit of heart is (spoilers for Inception and most Nolan movies)) - Roger More Feb 14, 10:02
      - What's #1 and #3? -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 09:47 5
        
        Here's my Big Board for the year. -- (link) - David Feb 14, 09:50 4

        *sigh* In doing that, I just accidentally deleted my board. - David Feb 14, 09:54 2
        
        whoops. :( -- nm - Don Homer Feb 14, 09:55 1
        
        Here is the list while we figure that out. - David Feb 14, 10:01
The science of kissing and what it means to both sexes. Pretty interesting stuff. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Feb 14, 09:43 2
- "Saliva is swimming with testosterone...could also explain why men are far more interested in sloppy, wet kisses than women are." - Inigo Feb 14, 09:53 1
  - uh, news to me. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 09:55
Where's Kim and did she see that apparently Stink caught Beiber Fever over the weekend? -- nm - Jim Feb 14, 09:43 3

  - [deleted]
  - He was on the radio this morning telling Golic that he had to go see it. - Jim Feb 14, 09:46
I just got realtor spam on my facebook wall from a rock band. Is this a serious enough sin to "unlike" them? - Subversive Feb 14, 09:42 10
- Haha, I commented and told them what I thought of it. They argued with me, I commented again. Now I see all the comments have been deleted. -- nm - Subversive Feb 14, 10:05
- Click on "Report" -- nm - con_carne Feb 14, 10:03
- yeah lets separate the day job from the night job -- nm - Epiphany Feb 14, 09:48
- "knock it off, Geddy." -- nm - Reagen Feb 14, 09:44 2
  - Not far off, it's from mostly defunct band The Watchmen. Sammy Kohn must be hurting for listings... - Subversive Feb 14, 09:48
  - that's exactly where I went. -- nm - Diva Feb 14, 09:46
- It is enough for me to click "Do not show in news feed" -- nm - oblique Feb 14, 09:42
- not the band's fault, right? -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 09:42 2
  - It came from their fan page, in the form of "sharing" a blog post by realtor guy. -- nm - Subversive Feb 14, 09:44 1
    - oh, that's annoying. -- nm - loosilu Feb 14, 09:49
I'm waiting for "half price chocolate" day. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 14, 09:40
Chocolate doesn't quite do it when you're in the mood for sausage. -- nm - Diva Feb 14, 09:40 6
- would then opposite be true? -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 14, 09:41
- Sexual chocolate? -- nm - oblique Feb 14, 09:41
- Somebody's got to be running a sale on those little blue pills, especially today. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 14, 09:41
