    Looking for the Wii? (Update 2/11/07 - Circuit City/Target)

    Does anyone know of any "reliable" rumor sites that provide updates on restock dates at the various retail outlets?

    Survivor Panama Exile Island season 12 (merged)

    Heh--how much does it bother you that so many contestants can't spell each other's names correctly on the ballots, even though they've been living together?

    "I hope they never make that movie" --why?

    In numerous threads, I've seen people expressing the view that they would prefer a movie not get made. Most recently in the Indy 4 thread, it's also occurred in the Rocky and Rambo threads, and I think I saw it in the Batman and Superman threads as well. I'm not sure I understand why people...

    My Name is Earl

    Randy always spends Christmas with the family, and Earl isn't invited back yet:) I'll agree that the ending was a bit soft, but the rest of the episode was outstanding.

    MythBusters and HTF...

    I'll second Alan's post. Several years ago I managed to (unknowingly) plug the barrel of a 12-gauge shotgun. When it fired, the barrel split into four nasty metal shards--a very frightening experience. I never did figure out how it got plugged, but I can't imagine it was more than an inch of...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Chuck, I may have confused matters by pulling your comment about the uncaring Force from the Yoda post. I just meant to comment on the nature of the Force, not the great Yoda debate:)

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    You are stating your conclusions as though they are immutable consequences of an uncaring Force, but that is simply not the case. The Jedi *are* guardians of peace and justice. The Force is not. The Force is the source of their power, and the Jedi order has chosen to use this power to...

    Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

    Is there any reason to believe otherwise? What would you say the Force "cares" about, other than possibly balance? Life and death are as one to the Force--I'm not sure there is any basis for claiming the Force is benevolent.

    Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

    I haven't read any of the PT timeline books, not sure if I ever will. My hope is that they will add more books that fill in, rather than focusing on yet another galaxy wide plot. This was one of the main complaints about the Bantam books--always another super weapon/super villain, with our...

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    My reaction was that Ian has completely fallen for Katie. Not sure whether she feels quite as strongly.

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    Agree. Now one of the stronger three is out, and she has an alliance with the remaining two. She can stick with that, or flip to a women vs men alliance. Either way, she's in the majority and has basically removed herself as an immediate target. If she'd voted for Tom, she'd still have two...

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    How is that better than the current outcome for Caryn? Who cares about getting fourth? That's worthless. In your scenario, she's clearly on the outside of a Gregg/Jen/Katie alliance. Now, however, she has a weak alliance with Tom and Ian, and she looks to be the least threatening person left on...

    Lol! I hereby pledge my support to your Pringles boycott;) Does anyone find the thought of gorging on Pringles while seriously malnourished appealing? I'd be retching just from the smell of them.

    This again? Maybe because Koror has ample evidence that success in Survivor is about more than physical fitness?

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    I love how Jeff was trying to portray it as "the women" carried the challenge. It wasn't the women, it was Steph and Angie. Kim was as useless as she has been in every other challenge to date. And now, can we finally, for ever and ever put to rest the notion that having six-pack abs and

    I'll take Stephanie, with a final four of Willard, Ibrehem, and Ian.

    Agreed, and I thought Andy's comment was very perceptive--"they're planning an exit strategy when they should be trying to win with what we have". Edit--yeah, what Chris said:)

    The Survivor 9: Vanuatu Discussion Thread

    I just don't get all the talk about this "high-risk" strategy. Where is the outrage about the women's tribe splitting into two alliances, with the "old" group systematically eliminating the "younger, more athletic" group? Do you really feel that anyone over the age of 30 who doesn't spend...

    The Survivor 9: Vanuatu Discussion Thread

    Again, that assumes that they are losing challenges because of who they've voted out. There isn't much evidence to support that, and I'm not at all convinced that the remaining members are "weaker" in the context of the game. Going into a merge or a tribe reshuffle with a strong alliance between...

    The Survivor 9: Vanuatu Discussion Thread

    Yes, but according to Rory and at least one other person (Bubba?), *Sarge* was the one causing problems in the camp. He-said/She-said arguments are very easily affected by the editing of the show. From what I've seen, Sarge and Rory are equally to blame in terms of the conflicts. I'd also...

    The Apprentice Season 2 thread

    Not to mention that it was perfectly setup for her to fail. She is forced to switch to a team that Trump has acknowledged is completely dysfunctional and that she has never worked with. Then, she gets them to their closest finish, and yet she has to take the blame for the whole team. This show...

    The Apprentice Season 2 thread

    And that's why the show shouldn't be claiming that it is trying to find the best "business person". Who gives a crap about *gross* revenue? This task would have been much more relevant if they actually included some thought about costs and margins as part of the strategy.

    The Survivor 9: Vanuatu Discussion Thread

    One thing I don't understand--why do most of you feel that being "athletic" is such a valuable asset to a tribe? Do you think they lost any of these challenges because the remaining players weren't physically fit enough? Just because someone doesn't have a cut physique does not mean that...

    The Apprentice Season 2 thread

    I believe the plan was to have one person win, and then that person would receive a 1 in 200 chance of winning $1M. E.g., there is one "magic" toothpaste box out of all the boxes they distribute during the circus. The holder of that box gets to choose a ball/spin the wheel/etc., where the odds...

    *** Official COLLATERAL Discussion Thread

    I may be in the minority on this one. During the Club Fever scene I was dreading an Arlington Road type ending, and after Max failed to kill Vincent with the first shot in the office I was convinced it was going to happen. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised to see Max walk away unscathed. :)

    Oops, sorry for the misinformation. I don't actually use the xbox as a dvd player, I just noticed that there many codes available when I was programming my MX-700. Didn't realize the IR receiver wasn't built-in.
