- There was some austin powers one, iirc. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 13:31
- sounds more like a sly satire? fun parody? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 12:45 5
  - For THE movie opening a week later than yours....it's odd to draw attention to it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:52 3
    - Ice Age is a family/kids film. The other one isn't. -- nm - the liioulu with lake breeze, sort of Jul 7, 13:09 2
      - true. but kids have seen the 1st one at least a dozen times on tv. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 13:12 1
        
        And they'll watch this one many times. - the liioulu with lake breeze, sort of Jul 7, 13:15

  - I absolutely love that Norah Jones took that part. -- nm - David Jul 7, 12:32
- the show I went to last night was sold out. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 7, 12:19
- I loathe Family Guy and everything Seth Macfarlane on Fox, but must admit Ted cracked me up. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 7, 12:18 2
  - I laugh at Family Guy and really enjoyed it. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:21 1
    - FG makes me wish TiVo allowed you to give shows more than 3 thumbs down. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 7, 12:22

Shuffle up and deal! -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 12:05
Uh oh. What happened now, groiny? - JaxSean Jul 7, 11:57 23
- oh, I am beyond pissed off right now..... - groiny Jul 7, 12:18 22
  - Jesus Christ. Jesus. F---ing. Christ. Not only to be so callous. But to actually leave behind evidence of his crime? - Mop Jul 7, 14:53
  - call your lawyer. even if you do not press charges, you can get a restraining order to keep him away. - peglegpete Jul 7, 12:34 3
    - I'm not sure you can use restraining orders to protect property. It's usually for personal threats or at least harassment. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 12:49 2
      - If he has a drug problem, it might count as a personal threat. Bath salts! ;) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 14:14
      - I am not sure either, but it is a creative way to keep him away for a month :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 7, 13:09
  - And I'd save that note and ask him for the quoted price if he doesn't return the boxes. - the liioulu with lake breeze, sort of Jul 7, 12:29 1
    - "Yeah? That's your quote? MY guy quoted THIS." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:29
  - What a fucking jackass. -- nm - David Jul 7, 12:27
  - Yeesh. I'm surprised you are letting him even near your house. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:20 9
    - dude, that 4 AM doorbell ring was almost the last action he made on this earth. - groiny Jul 7, 12:22
    - I'm imagining groiny sitting in his garage at 4AM, asleep while clutching a rifle against his chest. -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 12:22 7
      - I'm imagining Groiny playing black ops at 4am in the dark with a suppressed SPAS-12 beside him -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:27
      - Sadly, I was not in the garage when he was loading up his shit. - groiny Jul 7, 12:26 5
        
        Thinking out loud: if you haven't done so, contact that card shop and tell them it's your stuff and you'll call the cops if they buy it. - David Jul 7, 12:31 2
        
        yep. We do this when we hear about stolen collections -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 12:33
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:32
        
        Probably why he showed up at 4am. -- nm - the liioulu with lake breeze, sort of Jul 7, 12:28 1
        
        Yup. Restraining order and/or theft charge time. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 12:28
  - what are you selling them for? -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 12:19 3
    - they are taking up too much space in my garage, and I have no real use for them anymore. - groiny Jul 7, 12:21 2
      - what you got left? email me. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 12:22 1
        
        I will have to count them up and let you know. - groiny Jul 7, 12:31

Doh! Foot was off the bag. -- nm - budice Jul 7, 11:50
The Amazing Spider-Man will probably end up with $275 million to $300 million domestically. Is that a success, failure or in between? -- nm - Inigo Jul 7, 11:44 20
- A success. After Spidey 3, there was no assurances -anyone- would be interested. They spent too much money making it though. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 13:46
- Failure to me. - Inigo Jul 7, 12:04 4
  - Had this just been Spiderman 4 with a new actor playing Spidey, chances are I would've seen it. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 7, 13:06 1
    - Vice versa for me: more interested in a reboot than the previous series -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 14:18
  - This is like The Incredible Hulk for me. And I think Spider-Man has clearly fallen from the ranks of top movie characters. -- nm - David Jul 7, 12:28 1
    - I forgot about that one. Yeah, it's very close to the Hulk reboot. To me, Batman is the most popular superhero with Spidey a close second. - Inigo Jul 7, 12:40
- How much worldwide? Sidenote: what happened to the-numbers.com? - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:02 11
  - It made $50 million last weekend overseas. That's mostly from Asia. - Inigo Jul 7, 12:08 1
    - That's just it. Stuff that used to make 200 overseas now makes 500. - Reagen Jul 7, 12:36
  - it's sitting at 95 worldwide right now. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 12:07 4
    - (I was looking for the budget. Last I heard was like $150M or so?) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:08 3
      - I think Nikki said 250 million in one of her box office updates. -- nm - Inigo Jul 7, 12:14 1
        
        I wouldn't say failure, but not a success. So I guess between. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:18
      - oh...I read about 220. but that wasn't confirmed -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 12:11
  - Works fine for me....if you're looking at the chart archive, the table might not be working, but you can get there via certain dates. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:05 1
    - Ah. I usually always just go to the archives. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:07
  - what do you mean? I visit them almost daily. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 12:04 1
    - I went to the movie archive page for 2012 and it's not really updated since March. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 12:05
- success, its normal imho -- nm - budice Jul 7, 11:56
- inbetween. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 11:46
