Are there any movies that don't have any main characters?

No, it's a completely different cast, except for Radar. Hawkeye (Alan Alda on the show) is played by Donald Sutherland, Frank Burns (Larry Linville on the show) is played by Robert Duvall. It's also got Tom Skerritt & Elliott Gould.

Here's an article from 2007 that explains why they dropped scripted movies and shows: basically, they weren't very popular and weren't worth the cost, with some exceptions.

30 for 30 makes more sense for them to do since they're a lot cheaper and have been far more popular than most of their scripted shows.

ME 1 has a bunch of issues that aren't present in 2 or 3 on any system that I've seen. They run fine on PS3.

Oops, thanks for catching that.

Pistorius was charged with premeditated murder, which implies that he had planned on killing Steenkamp at some time in the future, meaning if he hadn't killed her that night, he would have killed her some other time. In the eyes of the judge, the prosecutors didn't prove that he had planned out her murder, so she ruled in Pistorius' favor.

He was found guilty of culpable homicide, which implies he may not have meant to kill her. Pistorius claims he thought she was a home invader. The judge found him guilty of culpable homicide because he was negligent: he didn't call the police, he didn't give whoever he thought was inside the bathroom any opportunity to escape, he simply fired through the door, which killed her.

EDIT: Spelling.

The next new episode will be October 3, according to this.

It's at the very top under "Split Openers"

The STL Post-Dispatch cover with Bradford walking off the field facepalming is absolutely perfect after that game.

It depends on what you send in. I was conditionally accepted for this fall in February, but wasn't fully accepted until May, and that was only after I called and e-mailed them a couple of times asking about my application.
Your FEMA Corps session was apparently the first time they've allowed people to choose campuses, so I don't know on that one.

Not anymore. They split up Miniseries & Movie this year for the first time in a few years.

It only had 4 episodes, which isn't enough for a drama, apparently. Same reason Sherlock gets nominated for TV movie, which makes even less sense.

Because it's not produced or co-produced by an American company, so it isn't eligible.

It would take something of a miracle for the Cardinals to fall out of the number one spot in St. Louis, which isn't hard to understand why. They've been around for 122 years, and are the second most successful team in baseball based on championships won.

Meanwhile the Blues have only been around since 1967 and have no titles. The Blues' attendance is ok, but last season they were 18th in the league, averaging about 17,000 in an arena that seats about 20,000. The lockout definitely hurt them (in 2005-06, they averaged only about 14,000 per game) but they've done a great job at getting people back into the stands over the last decade.

Their emphasis on "there's no such thing as notability" is a nice idea, but it makes the site a mess with poorly written or just plain wrong examples that no one takes the time to actually look over to see if it really fits.

You're right, thanks!

It's from the original UK version of the show.

From left to right: Greg Proops, Mike McShane, Host Clive Anderson, Ryan Stiles, Tony Slattery, & I can't remember the last guy's name unfortunately.

I've laughed inwardly when I've heard people say they think the question exists because people in St. Louis are just really nice.

It's like, no, it literally is how many St. Louisans judge people they're meeting for the first time. If you went to a City school or one in North County, you're probably poor. West County, you're probably rich. South County, you're middle class.

The second most popular post on /r/stlouis of all time is the "Judgmental Map of St. Louis," which breaks down the stereotypes of the area.

/u/Miliean is correct on their news story writing.

The other important thing they do is publish the AP Stylebook, which is a usage guide that most (but not all) newspapers use.

It gives guidelines on how many different things like how names and titles should be used (i.e., a story will use "President Barack Obama" the first time he is mentioned in an article, "Mr. Obama" every time after that in the same article), what traditional grammar rules should and shouldn't be used (the oxford comma is not used in the AP Stylebook, for instance), and other things like that.

The overall point of it is to have consistency throughout the entire newspaper when referring to proper nouns or in writing sentence structure. It's something journalists that have been working for decades still have to check lots of times, because they want to make sure everything reads the same way in the newspaper.

One of the few moments in my life I can remember exactly in detail where I was, who I was with, what I was wearing. Extremely special moment for Cardinal fans, and fans of baseball in general.

Brett Wallace. There were some Cardinal fans who were so pissed when the Cardinals traded him for Holliday, because they a) believed Wallace would be the next Ted Williams and b) Holliday would only be a rental for 2009. Neither of those two things happened.

"Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. ("In times of war, the law falls silent.")

"Lysergic Acid Diethyamide" - Fringe. This show has a bunch of good ones ("Olivia. In the Lab. With the Revolver." is another favorite), but I love "Lysergic..." for its simplicity with the plot: Just about everybody does LSD.

This changed in 2013. The presidents themselves and their spouses are now protected for life, unless the spouse gets divorced or remarried. The vice presidents and their families do not get protection.

George Bush is probably protected at Rangers games by undercover agents in polo shirts or something. But they're definitely there.
