Mark Cuban + Charlie Sheen + reality show or talk show = winner -- nm - Beaker Mar 7, 07:20
you know, i realize that I am working on my vacation, but when you view is of snow covered mountains - tRuMaN Mar 7, 07:19
if you are interested in stories of old-time-hollywood, this short recapping of Gig Young (Oscar winner)'s life and death is pretty interesting. -- (link) - Andie Mar 7, 07:14

So, on the spoiler thing from a few boards back...I agree, the whole thing has gone past plaid. At the same time... - Jim Mar 7, 06:59 20
- My big question is live events like sports. I'm never quite sure how/if do deal with those spoiler-wise. -- nm - ty97 Mar 7, 07:08 4
  - I know a lot of people don't want to see spoilers for sports and I'm cool with that. However, when Albert goes yard, - Jim Mar 7, 07:14 1
    - so you will be watching the royals games this year? -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 7, 07:19
  - unless requested (as CQ did yesterday), live sports are fair game IMO. -- nm - Beaker Mar 7, 07:10 1
    - and the only point i made the other day was, i find this distinction so odd. - TFox Mar 7, 07:25
- I guess putting everything of importance in the IM is not how this board works and it annoys some people -- nm - Guigue Mar 7, 07:08
- It brings into questions what is the proper timeframe for respecting/dismissing spoiler alerts -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 7, 07:04 1

- [deleted] 11
  - I didn't even see what started it...just the fall out, I guess. - Jim Mar 7, 07:02 10
    - People bring up this line everytime we have this discussion and I have to wonder who they're referring to. No one is saying there shouldn't be spoiler - Reagen Mar 7, 07:18
    - the Survivor threads are a pain to catch up on with 20 messages labled "spoiler" :) -- nm - Beaker Mar 7, 07:11 4
      - Oh, I agree with that. 100% It's also not that hard to say "Survivor spoilers" or "So I just watched Lost Boys...spoilers" - Jim Mar 7, 07:19 2
        
        Your first example is normal. The second example is weird. -- nm - Reagen Mar 7, 07:20
        
        yup. twas me :) -- nm - Beaker Mar 7, 07:20
      - I kind of agree with this. What did we do when we had separate survivor boards -- nm - miss amanda phones Mar 7, 07:13
    - I didn't read the backboards. I know I have spoiled by accident--but getting spoiled is just the risk you take in interacting with the world imo. -- nm - Amy Mar 7, 07:04 3
      - Especially now with the internet and social networking like facebook and twitter - eag Mar 7, 07:06 2
        
        That being said, it's common courtesy to try your best to keep a lid on stuff for a while. I'd say movies for a year and TV for six months maybe. -- nm - Amy Mar 7, 07:08 1
        
        This is what I'm saying. I avoid things like Twitter and FB is I don't want to be spoiled on something. ST, IMO, should be different. -- nm - Jim Mar 7, 07:15

    - If it hadn't dragged in the middle I would have bumped it up to an A-. -- nm - Ender Mar 7, 07:01 1

        heh, i was on my way to get my hair cut. it's 3 inches shorter than it was when you saw me -- nm - Andie Mar 7, 06:54 1
        
        noooooo! although I think I'm remembering you had a hat on so it's probably more like the last time I saw you anyway. -- nm - zork Mar 7, 06:56
After seeing the Battle: LA trailer a couple of times I've decided the effects in Monsters is more convincing. -- nm - LMS Mar 7, 06:34 2

  - 300 Companies have boycott running ads on his show, and his ratings are way down from their peak. Plus he's turned into an insane conspiracy theorist - MDH Mar 7, 06:27 3
    - I find that hard to believe. - znufrii Mar 7, 06:28 2
      - Believe it or not they are. NYT did a small write up, many stories out there -- (link) - MDH Mar 7, 06:34 1
