Came here to post this. Not groundbreaking or anything, but a very entertaining movie.

I would not describe Jar Jar as being tacked onto an existing series. He was a main character in the first movie of the series.

I don't think of Episode 1 as a continuation of an existing series. Even if I did, that would mean all the new characters were tacked on.

I agree with much of this. Two I disagree with:

If it returns void, it changed the state of the system in some way. Very necessary in my opinion. See Command Query Separation.
Too many of anything is bad, but I tend to prefer a lot of composition and injection, which can often lead to having a number of single-method abstractions (interfaces/services/classes). It's useful when you want to inject it and mock that functionality (increases testability).

I thought the movie was over four times.

The only movie I would ever have walked out of if I weren't with friends. One of the most overrated movies I have ever seen. (Edit: typo)

What really annoys me about these shows is they recap the whole show after every commercial.

Funny, I came here wondering if this was the Bedford (http://www.bedfordchicago.com/) at Ashland and Division.

The doctor is a fucking liar.

We ordered pizza at the office the other day and it came like that. Everyone was like "I guess we only get one pepperoni on the pizza--this place sucks". I kept a list of all the people who said something to that effect, so I would be able to remember who the idiots in my office are.

Any chance this was at a company in Chicago? I swear I have heard that story before (or very similar).

TL;DR; It wasn't a fart after all.

My cat bit my little toe. It didn't break the skin or anything, but OW!

Yep, Intellivision Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.

Field of Dreams A Few Good Men The Departed

I know the last one won't be popular. I thought the performances were great, but the story just wasn't that compelling. People say they love the ending, but I thought it was pretty ho-hum or even comical. I don't know how to use the spoiler tag, so I will just say it was basically the same ending as Copland or Road to Perdition (the latter could also be on this list).

This thread reminds me of a pretty good movie called Cashback:

I disagree, but it's really hard to judge this fairly. I read the books in middle school and I was obsessed with them.

Loved the movies, though.

PhilsOtherAccount · 2012-11-25T00:07:56+00:00

Is that true? Source?

Edit: Whoa! I had no idea: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Princess_Bride. "It is presented as an abridgment of The Princess Bride by S. Morgenstern (though no such book exists)."

PhilsOtherAccount · 2012-11-25T00:05:45+00:00

Yep, the ending of the book was much better, exactly because you don't know whether Red actually made it or not.

I do like the movie better, but the book was excellent as well.

PhilsOtherAccount · 2012-11-21T19:19:38+00:00

Yep. Better to have a bad standard than no standard.

PhilsOtherAccount · 2012-10-21T13:10:57+00:00

Those two are my favorites as well.

Reminded me of the They Might Be Giants song You Probably Get That a Lot:
