2008-05-06 20:12 < Lucifer_Cat> hes an excellent actor... but as hulk?
2008-05-06 20:12 < Lucifer_Cat> interesting trend though, casting softer actors as superheroes
2008-05-06 20:13 < AngryParsley> edward norton was the main character in fight club. that guy is definitely not soft
2008-05-06 20:14 < Lady_Aleena> I am still trying to get over the fact that Robert Downey Jr. is Iron Man.

2008-05-06 20:17 < gwern> 'An interesting movie subversion is in Snake Eyes, where the huge ball that has been lying on the ground for most of the movie doesn't roll over anyone (read: Gary Sinise).

2008-05-06 20:18 < gwern> 'Subverted early in the first Pirates Of The Caribbean -- a decorative shield-and-swords hangs over a fireplace in the governor's mansion in the grand swashbuckling fashion. When Elizabeth later goes to draw one of the swords to defend herself against invading pirates, she ends up pulling the whole thing down off the wall by accident -- the swords are firmly attached to the shield and won't come loose.

Sirius Black was mentioned in the very first chapter and then not heard of again until the third book, where he became very important. After five books, Ginny was promoted from "Sidekick's little sister" to "Love Interest." Rowling's fans have now been trained to spot Chekhov's Gunmen to the extent that a popular guess for the identity of the "Half-Blood ...

2008-05-06 20:42 < Leslie_S> something is really odd about this trucking company.

2008-05-06 20:42 < ijustam> is it Swift?
2008-05-06 20:42 < ijustam> if it is, then you're right abuot it being odd
2008-05-06 20:42 < Leslie_S> no, its crst
2008-05-06 20:43 < Leslie_S> and like, im here for CDL training paid for by them. theres like 5 people here for the same thing with the same company. wtf?

2008-05-06 20:44 < ijustam> leslie... Swift's main business model is "hire rookies, barely train them, and then fire them when they goof up and retrain someone else"

Indeed, the only named character who uses an actual katana is killed seconds into his first (and only) fight by an opponent who brags that wind is far sharper.' <-- I actually appreciate ...

2008-05-06 21:00 < quanticle> Sponge: The main issue is how large the lead is. In the case of N. Carolina, Obama had a huge lead, so there was no hesitation in calling it for him. In the case of Indiana, Clinton's lead is much smaller, so there's a better chance of an upset. This leads to the race being uncalled for a longer period of time.
