- I'm very curious about this console, given that its specs are expected to be superior to the 360 and PS3. - Mop Apr 25, 06:44 2

    - I think I burn faster than I used to. I was in the sun for maybe 60-90 minutes in Singapore. - ty97 Apr 25, 06:23 2
      - that doesn't sound so bad. I can burn much faster than that (30 min, say), and I'm sure you can too. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 07:35
      - That probably has more tondo with Singapore being on the equator than anything -- nm - Roger More Apr 25, 06:32

    - Yeah, that scene bugs me. Because no one's name is "Thor". -- nm - Mop Apr 25, 06:42
- It's also interesting that in this age where foreign box office is more important than domestic that big movies are now opening overseas first. -- nm - Dano Apr 25, 06:13 7
  - yeah, why is that? I mean, why is it more important? -- nm - amanda jones Apr 25, 06:14 6
    - Top 100 movies overall made on average 60% of their money overseas - Will Hunting Apr 25, 06:34
