    - I don't appreciate him making the rounds to sell a book full of more lies. And with poor Jon being sick too... It's outrageous. -- nm - Qale Feb 23, 14:32 2

I'll admit it: I'm almost scared to watch Survivor tonight. - TFox Feb 23, 14:17 9
- The interesting thought is that they framed the premiere around him. - David Feb 23, 14:21 7
  - The thought I had after the premiere was, in general terms, he's an ideal " -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 14:22 6
    - "bring to the end" guy. in theory. but could any human being actually opt to spend 40 days with him? on purpose? - TFox Feb 23, 14:23 5
      - The only thing he's ideal for is geting thrown out with the garbage within the next couple weeks, IMO -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 14:36
      - That's the magic question. Six days seems like a lot to me. -- nm - David Feb 23, 14:34 2

    - she dances better than Britney - heh -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 14:25
  - I'd never pegged Santana as a weepy drunk -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 14:20 1

does anybody actually put cheese on their pie? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 14:13 2
- Just the Shepherd's Pie. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 23, 14:25

Moose, I so agree with you on Lemon Meringue pie - amoxy Feb 23, 14:13 1

nmbEpiphany - ceregon Feb 23, 14:12 8
- rumor is he is gay - so maybe he is casting couching his way into roles? I have no idea. We are stuck with him for a bit it seems. On Spartacus - Epiphany Feb 23, 14:17 7
  - I appreciated the increase in homo content in the prequel season, both boy/boy and hell, girl/girl wasn't bad either. -- nm - Qale Feb 23, 14:32 4
    - I thought the girl/girl this season was " new" but maybe I forgot the original series stuff (?) - Epiphany Feb 23, 15:10
    - I was surprised by the amount of guy-guy action. Not something I expected gladiators to do. -- nm - ceregon Feb 23, 14:37 2
      - Barca and Petrus relationship in the original series was probably one of the best depictations of homosexuality on television last year. -- nm - Qale Feb 23, 14:41 1
        
        Pietros (the corrected spelling nt.) -- nm - Qale Feb 23, 14:43

The only thing about TCM is that I wish I had it in HD - Reagen Feb 23, 14:12 17
- I probably stopped watching any SD channels a year ago... I wish I could just hide them -- nm - stewie Feb 23, 14:16 1
  - I could but it would be a highly laborious process - Reagen Feb 23, 14:28
- excuse my tech ignorance, does it matter that much for old movies? -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 14:13 14
  - and then there's the widescreen issue, although that only starts showing up in the mid 50s. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:20 3
    - Aspect ratio definitely went to plaid for a time there. - con_carne Feb 23, 14:22 2
      - Even before they went super-wide, films were 3:4 for quite some time before they started making them what we currently consider "widescreen". -- nm - Ender Feb 23, 14:25
      - jeebus. 2.89? -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:23
  - Well, Scorcese's Film Foundation preserves movies using some digital medium that can definitely be called "HD." Moreso, even. - con_carne Feb 23, 14:19
  - film resolution is theoretically infinite but is usually about 4X HD. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:17
  - film has almost always had a higher resolution than regular TV -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 14:14 7
    - right, but it would depend on the path the images took from video to the HD channel. - TFox Feb 23, 14:20
    - how about something from 1946? would that still have a higher resolution? -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 14:15 5
      - I wonder if this example is a good one ... -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 23, 14:17
      - sure. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:16 3
        
        The question is going to be though, what transfer are they using? - Ender Feb 23, 14:20 2
        
        interesting. There is so much I don't know in this area. -- nm - loosilu Feb 23, 14:38
        
        ah, this is what I was wondering about - thanks everyone! -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 14:22
What's the geek formula to figure out BABip? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 14:11 2
- hits divided by number of balls batted in play? -- nm - TFox Feb 23, 14:12 1

if it was fantasy, the commissioner would have cancelled the Deron Williams trade and thrown the Jazz owner out of the league -- nm - stewie Feb 23, 14:11
Bah, I need to find myself something to do...canceling our field trip two weeks in a row has played havoc with my carefully prepared to-do list.... - MojaveMeg Feb 23, 14:10 4
- go to matinees of all the oscar nominated films you haven't seen. (and sneak from one to a second film without paying!) -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:16 3
  - I had actually considered The Kings Speech, but not in time for the early afternoon show. - MojaveMeg Feb 23, 14:21 2
    - It might be my favorite 2010 film, though I know I'm in the ST minority on this -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 14:34 1
      - the minority of smart people on ST, yes -- nm - moles Feb 23, 14:58
I will haunt the f*** out of Max. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 14:08 1
- Why the hell are these books out of order?!?! I know I put them in order! I have 3 lists that are signed and dated stating as such!! -- nm - Max si Feb 23, 14:10
The only way Hall Pass could look worse is if it were 90 minutes of the Jeff Bridges bathroom scene from D&D. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:08 6
- i actually have a pass for tonight, that i can't be bothered using. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:12 4
  - A Hall Pass pass? -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:13 3
    - and i'm taking a pass. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:13 2
      - does the theatre end with Hall, by chance? -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 14:19 1
        
        i should lie and say 'yes', but alas, it does not. -- nm - Andie Feb 23, 14:20
- The movie looks it probably won't be any good, but Jason Sudekis absolutely kills me in the commercials. (nm) - musubi Feb 23, 14:09
