"I'd kill for ST...please ask me to kill for you ST." -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 13:03
Box office is 15% so far this year compared to last. Over 35% above the previous three years. What do you think is the cause? - Inigo Feb 17, 12:58 16
- Perhaps some ticket price inflation as well? Although I could see the head count being up regardless. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 13:07
- People want an escape from the reality of life right now. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 13:04
- I have no idea, but it'll be hard-pressed to keep that up come summer, I think. - ty97 Feb 17, 13:03 1
  - I expect this summer to be very strong. Not as top-heavy, but May looks insane and Transformers 2 will control early July. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:07
- Studios aren't terrified any more to put strong performers in January. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:01 4
  - I'm not sure Paul Blart was ever considered a strong performer until it broke out. - Inigo Feb 17, 13:04 2
    - now the legs on Paul Blart surprise me... - Mel Profit Feb 17, 13:06
    - When I saw the commercial for Taken, I thought, "Awesome looking movie". - Will Hunting Feb 17, 13:06
  - yep. They saw Feb as a strong month when they released The Grudge to a 40 mill+ opening, now they're testing out Jan. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 13:04
- unemployed go to movies -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 13:01

  - we won't *let* them. - Reagen Feb 17, 13:01 2
    - I'm considering my ever present threat to find hyde finally and make him come back. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 17, 13:02 1
      - Hyde and I were talking Pitt basketball just this morning. He'll come back when he wants, just like his inevitable return to BOP. - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 17, 13:07
- I agree with this post 100% except for the "We've had a long history here." - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:59
Who here has seen W. and what did you think? -- nm - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 17, 12:50 5
- It was interesting enough. Hardly riveting. To see it once is enough. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 12:54
- Saw it. Liked it. Felt rushed. Loved all performances not Thandie Newton's. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:53 3
  - It's interesting you felt it was rushed. I thought it was a good 30 minutes too long. -- nm - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 17, 12:55 1
    - I just can't believe he didn't spend more time on the 2000 election or 9/11 itself. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:57
  - T Newton was in W? -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 12:55

- I expected her voice to be a bit higher but I have no problem with it whatsoever. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 17, 12:59
- She can read? Extra bonus. There's a lass that is light years away from the No Bang List. She is LLIST material. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 12:49

  - Well NOW you're on my list. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:50 1
    - *laughing* honest to God, it hurts my head. Muck of the highest order. -- nm - Loyola Feb 17, 12:52

  - no sale, then. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:49
people, people. we're all forgetting "I have sex with pets on the bed." it just doesn't get much better than that. - mafic Feb 17, 12:45 10
- Absolutely. I swear I laugh at least twice a day from a thread or a linked article with appropriate tag line. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 12:51
- kilbo's "oh no" after that just slayed me -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 12:49 7
  - that was the best part. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 12:53 3
    - Sometimes you just don't realize it until after you read it back to yourself - oblique, better than nubby Feb 17, 13:00 2
      - I can't tell you the number of times I adjust my phrasing to avoid blowback. - Mel Profit Feb 17, 13:05 1
        
        dammit. I was trying to make something out of 'blowback'. -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 13:07
  - it's an all time classic. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 12:50 2
    - It was so feeble -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 12:51 1

    - [deleted] 2

        I still like how my team just went off the chain that weekend. Ridiculous. -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 12:46
LYC. I do not hold grudges. My animosity towards loosi forms on a near daily basis. - Spawn Feb 17, 12:42 52
- LYC. I think you're unnecessarily mean. nm - Dignan Feb 17, 12:45 14
  - In some cases, that may be possible. - Spawn Feb 17, 12:52 13
    - Say what you will about loosi, I don't think she intends to deliberately hurt feelings. - Dignan Feb 17, 12:57 5
      - Yeah, she's been pretty upfront about her inability to let some things go. - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:04 1
        
        And that makes it okay? - Spawn Feb 17, 13:05
      - I respect your opinion, but feel you are wrong. - Spawn Feb 17, 13:00 2
        
        I'm the lesser Winnipegger on ST, but I'll say it. I don't think it's intentional to hurt. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 17, 13:02
        
        She was baiting, no doubt. - Dignan Feb 17, 13:02
    - You know you're one of my absolute favorites here, but I agree with dignan on this. - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 17, 12:54 6
      - it is kind of surprising. i never ever want to be on Spawn's bad side. - kare Feb 17, 12:57 1
        
        I can't recall ever having a single problem with you. - Spawn Feb 17, 13:01
      - The interesting facet of this is just how much I hold back here. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:56 3
        
        It hurts more than just loosi is the bottom line. -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 12:59 1
        
        But see, I will hold back at times while she keeps going. - Spawn Feb 17, 13:03
        
        It would be a relief to me if you held back even more. -- nm - David, envy of Bruce Campbell Feb 17, 12:58
- I form grudges and start ignoring those who upset me. But I can't hold them for long. A week, tops. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 12:45 36
  - i'm the same way. i hate that about myself! like, i like you at least 50% of the time, quite a bit. ;) -- nm - kare Feb 17, 12:59

    - Really? -- nm - Hatfields and McCoys Feb 17, 12:48 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Max could probably trace back the whole grudge to a descendent of yours flinging a poker chip into a stripping's face. -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 12:52 1
        
        pure comedy gold that -- nm - CQ Feb 17, 12:53
    - This from the guy who ignored loosi for a year?!?!? Just sayin'. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 12:47 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Lose a bet? - Dr.Vermin Feb 17, 13:00
  - Yup, you are describing me. -- nm - con_carne Feb 17, 12:46
  - heck, I wasn't going to respond to JackDawson at all today, and you see how quickly I got past that grudge. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 12:45 25
    - [deleted] 24
      - you were just being your obnoxious drunken self. - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 12:48 23

        Wait, the feud between you two is a joke? I was SURE it was real. That's what I get for not reading all the backboards... -- nm - Guigue Feb 17, 12:51 15
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        That's the part I didn't know -- nm - Guigue Feb 17, 12:58 3
        
        well, not *every* weekend - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:05 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        but not for my bank account. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:07
        
        They are one step away from being lovers. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:53
        
        I wouldn't say it's a joke, but as much or more made out of affection than malice. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 12:52 8
        
        Seriously, this is a relief. Sometimes it made me uncomfortable - Guigue Feb 17, 12:54 7
        
        As I said, if I didn't know them in real life........ - ty97 Feb 17, 12:55 6
        
        Funny sidebar: I suspect z and I would be friends if we met in real life too. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 12:58 4
        
        probably - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 13:00 1
        
        Nah, but I wouldn't be though. My charisma and likeability is magical. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:03
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        oh, that's disappointing. it'd be more fun the other way. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 13:00
        
        dude, don't go ruining my rep, okay? -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 12:56
        
        heh -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:51
        
        actually, no. it isn't. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 12:51 4
        
        because at that point I was just pissed off at what you had said to me 15 minutes prior. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 12:51 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        actually, no. It was rather upsetting and pretty much uncalled for. -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 17, 12:56 1
        
        [deleted]
kilbo, did the actuals ever come out for the FB Box Office game? -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 12:42 3
