< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 501 OF 749 ·  Later Kibitzing> Apr-18-13    WannaBe: 9-7, potential WC, if you can hold the tie-breaks. Apr-19-13    WannaBe: Just saw 'Oblivion', I give it C. Apr-19-13    chancho: <WannaBe> I was thinking of seeing that tomorrow, now I'm not so sure. Apr-19-13    WannaBe: <chancho|> Go see Freeman, and the lovely Redhead, Andrea Riseborough. Yahoo movie, viewers gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. I am always highly critical of Sci-Fi movies. Apr-19-13    chancho: I'm looking forward to seeing this movie, but I have to wait until September: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1411250... Apr-19-13    WannaBe: That Karl Urban guy is doing something good, Star Trek, Red, Dredd, and now Riddick! Apr-19-13    chancho: Karl Urban was Vaako in the Chronicles of Riddick. <you keep what you kill...> Apr-21-13    chancho: <WannaBe> I saw Oblivion yesterday. My wife shed a few tears at the movie's finale. I thought it was ok. Not what I expected. Apr-21-13    WannaBe: The Flakers are not gonna win this one, down 10 pts in the first qtr. Apr-21-13    chancho: Mike D'Antoni sucks. Apr-21-13    WannaBe: <chancho> What 'surprised' me was how much total movie time Freeman had, I think it was less than 10 minutes. Apr-21-13    OhioChessFan: User: Blue User: Link User: Haiku User: funny User: BugsBunny User: always User: Out User: smart User: ElmerFudd User: warner User: brother User: STAR Apr-21-13    chancho: Gotta hand it to Mike D'Antoni. With Riley and Jackson it was winnin' time, but Mike's teaching the Lakers a new concept... losin' time. Apr-21-13    chessmoron: Good defense but too much turnovers. Apr-21-13    chancho: <WannaBe> I agree... for a star who won an Oscar, Freeman was treated like a prop with a few lines. I saw Jack Reacher today, and I actually enjoyed that movie more than Oblivion. And funny thing: What happened to Morgan Freeman in Oblivion, happened to Robert Duvall (another oscar winner) in Jack Reacher. Duvall appears right around the last part of the movie with a few lines. Apr-21-13    WannaBe: <chancho> I thought Jack Reacher was better, also, there was a mystery involved, plus Ms. Pike (Bond girl, Ms. Frost). In Sci-fi, you got a lot of geeks/nerds critiquing every impossiblity/implossibility. Bobble-head Bob survived that crash? Where did that second life-pod come from? Thought drone destroyed every single one, except Julia? After the second 'Mr. Harper' escaped, why weren't drones called? Like I said, I am very tough on Sci-fi movies. Can't wait for Star Trek. =) Apr-24-13    NakoSonorense: My Game Theory professor never did this in class! http://blogs.kcrw.com/whichwayla/20... Apr-24-13    NakoSonorense: There's someone on FICS that goes by the username of CreamyGoodness and has been playing the WannaBe gambit for years. I've faced him a few times with mixed results. Tonight, I pulled the WannaBe Gambit counterattack! Yeah, there is such a thing.

Apr-24-13    WannaBe: Half time, Flakers down by eight, 24 more minutes for the Spurs to blow it open... Apr-24-13    WannaBe: In one of the Trailer for "Into Darkness" for Star Trek, there is a scene, where NCC-1701 sees/meets a bigger Federation ship. I am going to guess that is the future NCC-1701. Either way, I am going to call in sick on May 17th. Or take a personal day off. Apr-24-13    WannaBe: Upon closer look at the trailer, it looks to be Galaxy Class, from Picard era... Boy, I need a life. Apr-25-13    hangingenprise: wannabe: traiders have a first round pick!! hopefully they won't blow it like past years. Apr-25-13    perfidious: <hanging>: If only, sir! Another useful thing would be for Raiders to avoid bestowing any more big-money deals on players such as Gibril Wilson-not that they were the first team to thus reward a player from someone else's Super Bowl winner in such fashion.
