Agreed.. to sum up, it's a modern movie. No characters, no story, special effect/CGI-fest, instantly forgettable, will probably never watch it again (unlike Mad Max 1 & 2).
How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

So what you're saying is, I should definitely take my thirteen-year-old son to it?

Yep!

And here I thought you were talking about the classic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Max[^], though I didn't exactly remember fire spewing guitars!
Hmm...what is this, a remake of the 1979 classic? I'm not sure you can resurrect Mel Gibson (harhar).

It's certainly not a remake. The new Mad Max: Fury Road[^] is kind of like parts two and three. Post-apocalyptic wasteland, shortage of water and oil (no wonder with all the fire and explosions...) and some crazy tribes that imprison Max, who gets a little mad about it.
I don't really know how things got that way though. I've seen all the originals, but I feel like something is missing between part one and two.

Saw it a couple of weeks ago.. the action scenes were good, but the storyline was almost non-existent.
I liked the original 1 & 2 but this one felt empty - all sizzle but no flavour

37 Years ago Affirmed won the Triple Crown (1978).
Today, American Pharoah has won the Triple Crown.
37 years.
This is awesome.

I thought the code phrase was
'An infant in your lap may dampen your spirits."
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

CNN.com has this on the front page as "Breaking News." Slow news day I suppose.

I don't understand what is so awesome about that.

Great race, indeed. Watched it a few more times on youtube.
Anyhow, there are members on this site who don't find anything interesting.

Well, it's neither cricket nor soccer, so don't except the usual fan-masturbate-a-thon we usually get here for those sports.
The fact that it's an American event also contributes to the 'meh' reaction as well.

Countries other than the US have had horse races for millennia. Nothing special there.

I know that. The fact that this particular event is an American tradition is why it is viewed with boredom and disdain on CP.

... is going f***ing ridiculous.
I tried to open my google account today from a computer I had never been using before.
As a security check (You are not using this compute to access your account blabla..) I got asked to enter a f***ing phone number finishing with two given digits that was supposed to be in my personnal profile : never heard of that number. So could not do it.
Alternatively, they wanted to send me an SMS code on the same number. This was logically pointless as I do not know that phone number, and I did have my phone with me anyway.
So I had no way to access my account ! What is the f***ing point of having data in the cloud if you cannot access it from devices "you are not using usually" ?
As a result : Back home, I was forced to modify my Google account password, which I have now to take over on all my android devices, redo all the f***ing sync settings. I haven't found any place where I could find or change that wrong phone number they were asking me
I am so done with that sh*t.

Go here[^] and click 'Phone Number'. It gives you instructions. I have verified them,

I once accessed one of my Facebook accounts via TOR browser. Facebook locked out my account. It said I accessed my account from a Denmark IP. Which is probably correct. The thing is it's Facebook! Not citibank.
My guess is Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Amazon are trying to be the super do login "authenticators".
2 cents.

A lot of people link their Facebook account to all sorts of other accounts, so if it gets compromised, they are all compromised. Admittedly, today no banks are stupid enough to allow that, but that's just a matter of time and change out of management who grew up trusting FB.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Now imagine having to go through that every couple of months for one of your relatives who keeps "losing" his password and wants you to reset all of his accounts across all of his devices...
