This may not exactly be an effective (I started to say "efficacious" but my inner sebby would have rebelled again) disincentive, you know.

Hank, we do that because we are avoiding you. When you saw me in my office at lunch today, it was because I had to finish something up, just like I told you when you came by looking for lunch company. It was nice of you to offer to bring me something (an obvious attempt to curry favor, btw) but, and I didn't want to tell you this at the time because I thought it would make you feel bad, they were already bringing me something. Yes, I lied when I said I had brought something and eaten it already. Call me Ms. GWB.

Next time you have a question like this, you should PM it to avoid embarrassment.

Pre-Curt Flood, baseball players didn't make a whole lot, either. And he had retired by the time they got married (though I think that Joe eventually made $100,000 per). Though his Bowery Savings and other endorsement deals made him comfortable, I don't think that he was rich in the 1950s.

And call me nutty, but I'm guessing that Arthur Miller didn't bring home a lot of coin for "The Crucible," prize-winning play or not.

Do you have any evidence that she had more money than they did?

It is an irrelevant analogy, though given their fame. I was speaking about the non-famous crowd. Fame throws a wrench in the issue because so many people are impressed by fame.

My issue with money has more to do with the way the man feels than anything else. In general, men like to be the one who makes more money. Except for the one's who are looking to be with the woman because she has more money.

You really do love me, don't you? That's sweet, but as you know, my heart belongs to another. Other parts are for rent though.

Want, love, whichever. Hearts are tough and muscley. I bet if you chew it, bits will get stuck between your teeth. Yuck. I will gnaw on some other part of you.

Film theory buffs might enjoy this essay about the growing problem of "the Plausibles": the moviegoers constantly on the watch for technical slip-ups and plot holes that disclose that the film they're watching is a creation, as opposed to a reality show's hidden camera. The concern is that filmmakers must face a skeptical audience that is unwilling to suspend its disbelief to be entertained, and that the plot devices employed to overcome this are running thin.

The modern moviegoer's insistence that film rigidly conform to depict reality has forced this generation of filmmakers to pioneer the "mindfuck movie" that explains away all inconsistencies and implausibilities by making them the product of a character's mind (Jacob’s Ladder, Abre Los Ojos, Pi, The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, Memento, Donnie Darko and Identity are the given examples) and that well is running dry.

I don't particularly care for the author's focus on Brian DePalma, but I'd have to agree that Bobby Ewing can only come out of the shower so many times. If we can reobtain the willing suspension of disbelief in darkened theaters, Cubby Broccoli's heirs and assigns can breathe a sigh of relief.

So is this why there was much laughing during 10.5 when the Space Needle's supporting legs crumbled like crackers (they're steel) and it fell on a building and Pike Place Market flooded (it's on a high bluff) but the rest of the city didn't and THAT's why is was a crappy made for TV movie? Because the continuity people sucked?

I'm a Joss Whedon fan, and until the seventh season, I was a Chris Carter fan. No applicability to me whatsoever.

ETA: Though I will admit that deus ex machina bugs the ever loving shit out of me, and I will call Joss on it when he uses it. (Snowfall preventing suicide by sunlight being the most egregious example, and he fucking wrote that episode. I think he read my scathing review of same.) I hate it when filmmakers are cute and pull something out of their ass in the third act because they wrote themselves into a corner.

His new nickname is Lucky.

LOS ANGELES - A construction worker had six nails driven into his head in an accident with a high-powered nail gun, but doctors said Wednesday they expect him to make a full recovery.


He probably has a whopper of a headache

You're a fucking idiot. DiMaggio's swing was pedestrian, not a stitch different than Rose's.

Well, except for the fact that DiMaggio was a right handed hitter and Rose hit switch, but whatever.

You want to see a perfect pure swing, try George Brett. That cat could hit. Too bad he did so many years in the fucking Royals org.

Yeah, the Royals totally sucked then. They only went to the World Series twice, winning it once.

But again, whatever.
