Roy Oswalt announces he will not sign with a team until mid-season. - David Feb 23, 09:57 4
- Like groiny, avoids injury / weardown, and likely trade talk mid-season. He'll latch on and be ready for post-season work. -- nm - budice Feb 23, 10:06 1
  - groiny? Avoid injury? - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:08
- Interesting. I'm suprised he didn't find more interest around the league. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 10:04 1
  - he is injury risk, for a full season. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 10:04
so how big do we think the hunger games is actually going to be? no way the wsj is right and it surpasses twilight, but... -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 09:54 41
- I wish Joel and the Bots would get together and do an episode featuring Twilight -- nm - Capstern Feb 23, 10:08
- 60 million -- nm - Aloha, Bacon Feb 23, 10:07
- it'll open bigger than john carter makes in its entire run -- nm - ceregon Feb 23, 10:06
- 88 -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 10:05
- My guess is $95m -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 10:05 1
  - yeah, I figured it would tickle 100 m. NM -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 10:05
- I am totally out of touch ... heh. Kind of a fun feeling. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 10:05 1
  - I am rooting for Max and I don't like it -- nm - Aloha, Bacon Feb 23, 10:06
- 312.50! -- nm - budice Feb 23, 10:04
- I expect it might touch 75M open -- nm - Capstern Feb 23, 10:01 2
  - think bigger. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 10:01 1
    - Thats possible but its odd I am not hearing a lot of talk about it here in TX in the demo I figured it would target - but cool if it does good books -- nm - Capstern Feb 23, 10:06
- It will make negative dollars -- nm - Max si Feb 23, 10:01
- Society allows boys to like Hunger Games. -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 09:59
- Twilight "only" opened to $69.6 million. Hunger Games wrecks that. -- nm - David Feb 23, 09:58 5
  - (by a lot) -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 23, 09:58 4
    - By a lot a lot - Stephen Feb 23, 09:59 3
      - Hence the term "wrecks". -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:00 2
        
        Yes, he said wrecks. She said (wrecks) by a lot. And I said (wrecks) by a lot a lot. - Stephen Feb 23, 10:02 1
        
        Wrecks by a lot a lot is defined as triple the number. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:03
- it won't fail from lack of marketing, for sure. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 09:56 8
  - I haven't seen any marketing. my tivo misses me. (I watched murder one all weekend. I'm a whore for old TV.) -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 09:58 7
    - walk into a Hot Topic sometime soon..... - groiny Feb 23, 09:59 6
      - You mean walk *past* one. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:00 5
        
        where do you get your clothes, the toilet store? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 10:01 4
        
        As I am not a teenager, *not* Hot Topic. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:06 2
        
        you know they have more than that kind of stuff there? - groiny Feb 23, 10:07 1
        
        That is why I own part of a comicbook store, silly. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:10
        
        ..don't knock the plunger cap. -- nm - Spawn si Feb 23, 10:04
- It surpasses Twilight. Twilight was for girls only (and crash). This is for boys and girls. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 09:55 11
  - This is correct. It's a more commercial premise all around. -- nm - David Feb 23, 10:02 7
    - but have as many people read the books? or are you saying here that it's less necessary to have read the books? -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 10:03 6
      - The books were bestsellers for the body of the past two years. - David Feb 23, 10:08
      - it's making the rounds within our Church group of friends. Certainly a high degree of anticipation from them -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 10:06
      - I personally, know more people who read HG than Twilight. - groiny Feb 23, 10:04 3
        
        yeah this is so weird to me. I am so opposite this. -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 10:05 1
        
        Do you know males that read the Twilight books? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:07
        
        Guys, for sure. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 10:05
  - I don't think you're right because multiple viewings were huge for twilight. I think there's less boy crazyness in hunger games. -- nm - jonesy Feb 23, 09:57 2
    - Second weekend drop for Twilight - 62%. New Moon - 70%. Eclipse - 51%*. Breaking Dawn - 70%. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 23, 10:08
    - Powerful female figure in Hunger Games that Twilight lacked. This will get all kinds of business. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 09:59

  - You need to fly to Hawaii then. snowed here twice -- nm - Aloha, Bacon Feb 23, 09:54
  - I would be okay with *one* snow and then it could melt the next day. - Kim Pine Feb 23, 09:53
- Nice. 83 in SoCal yesterday, 78 today and tomorrow, low 70's weekend. Last week was rain and high 50's...weird weather. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 23, 09:51
- 75 here, this has been the winter that wasn't -- nm - ceregon Feb 23, 09:50

- Jeebus. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 09:44
Either Beaker's listing is wrong or thefutoncritic is wrong. The latter shows 30 Rock as new. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 23, 09:39 6
- cool, thanks. -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 09:45
- my dvr has 30 Rock set to record (so according to my dvr it is new as well) -- nm - Jovian Feb 23, 09:44
- Pretty sure it is new. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 09:40
- What network is Archer on? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 09:39 2
  - FX? -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 09:40 1
    - Yeah, I don't think we get that in Canada. Might explain the apparent gap in beaker's listing. :) - Beryllium Feb 23, 09:41

        It's put a lot of great stuff on my radar... but I need to check it a lot more. - con_carne Feb 23, 09:54
- "With all due respect to newcomer director Josh Trank (Chronicle), why Wright hasn't been offered The Fantastic Four boggles my mind...but I digress." - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 09:31 3
  - I said it to Remlik yesterday, I'll watch anything Edgar Wright is a part of making. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 09:35 1
    - Here's one of the music videos he directed. -- (link) - LMS Feb 23, 10:02 [youtube]

- ending was surprising -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 09:24 4

- Interesting blind date scenario, at least. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 23, 09:24 1
  - Mile High Club indeed -- nm - budice Feb 23, 09:31
- Super. Another way for airline travelers to feel entitled. -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 09:23 2
