LYC: Coachella Announced it's Lineup includes: Paul McCartney, The Killers, Amy Winehouse? - MDH Jan 30, 07:54 1

SITWAP: Bacon explosion - Jammed Uzi Jan 30, 07:54 1

  - the former. -- nm - loosilu Jan 30, 07:54
- Vocorders are for p*ssies. -- nm - Peter Frampton Jan 30, 07:51
- It is quite annoying. -- nm - Jim Jan 30, 07:51
- No, that's Vanilla Ice -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 07:50
So for the openers this weekend, "Milk" has already made $21.9M, and it's going wide this weekend? - JaxSean Jan 30, 07:47 9
- As "The Wrestler" is only adding about 159 theatres, I think it might have some trouble reaching it's price. Superbowl and everything. - Diva Jan 30, 07:51 1
  - cool, thanks. I think I'll just hold it long anyway. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 07:53
- SITWAP: LOTR desserts -- (link) - con_carne Jan 30, 07:49 1
  - Ugh. Need coffe -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 07:50
- I'm not sure Wrestler isn't a short. -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 07:48 4
  - It would need to make $5M(~ish) this weekend to break even, correct? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 07:52 1
    - at this point 5.45 -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 07:53
  - I'm pretty sure it is. Only 722 theatres; I think that's too much to ask. It could be a monster post-adjust, though. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 30, 07:49 1
    - It made 3.4 last weekend in 566 theatres, but 422 of those theatres were new last weekend. - ty97 Jan 30, 07:52

Canadian National anthem ban at New Brunswick school sparks outrage.....(link) - Walt_Disney Jan 30, 07:42 5
- it's a bit tempest-in-a-teapot, but citing that certain parents beliefs were against singing the anthem kind of pisses me off. - Andie Jan 30, 07:45 4
  - Probably Jehovah's Witness. I can see a daily anthem coming too close to "taking an oath" for them. -- nm - Reagen Jan 30, 07:52 1
    - yeah, that was my first thought. -- nm - conjunction junction Jan 30, 07:54

    - yeah, my boss always picks up his wsj from the desk of the building when he comes in - tRuMaN Jan 30, 07:47 1
      - but he *pays* for it, which means no one else can have it. -- nm - conjunction junction Jan 30, 07:52
52 minutes to the Tekline. -- nm - TFox Jan 30, 07:38 4
- It's like he went to compounding stupidity classes in the last 2 months. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 07:50 3
  - It's 11:30, and I agree he has no leverage, but if he decides he'd rather retire than put his body through another year for $5M, who am I to judge? - TFox Jan 30, 07:51 1
    - If I honestly believed he wants to retire in any form, I might feel this way. But I don't. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 07:55
  - I hope you are also eagerly awaiting the wrath of Kelly the minute I walk through the door, should that happen at 12:01. - kelly Jan 30, 07:51
nmb Jax/MDH - kelly Jan 30, 07:34 3
- Thanks Kelly, I hope Rio adds this, otherwise I may consider Tysons -- nm - MDH Jan 30, 07:39 1

- Nice, thanks. I may just go buy them at the box office anyway and save the fees. - JaxSean Jan 30, 07:36
