so, last year it was surprise tomato plants. this year? surprise onions. - znufrii Jun 23, 11:57 7
- Cheez-It plants would be better. -- nm - SpawnDroid Jun 23, 13:33 1
  - maybe next year, you never know -- nm - znufrii Jun 23, 13:43
- is this because you never planted onions? -- nm - peglegpete Jun 23, 12:44 1
  - exactly. - znufrii Jun 23, 13:31
- volunteer tomatoes from store bought scraps or hybrid plants tend to be weird because the seeds revert to one of the parent stocks - zeitgeist Jun 23, 12:03 2
  - Yesterday, at the mission, we saw a volunteer tomato plant in one of the flower beds and remembered there'd been one in the same place last year. - Meg Jun 23, 12:31 1
    - we compose most of our trimmings and always have them popping up in all our planting beds and hanging planters - zeitgeist Jun 23, 13:04

Wasn't World War Z's budget on par with Man of Steel's? -- nm - Dano Jun 23, 10:53 13
- WWZ $200 million Man of Steel $225 million -- nm - amoxy Jun 23, 10:59 12
  - I thought they were close, but then WWZ's opening is being spun as a success so I wondered. - Dano Jun 23, 11:10 11
    - WWZ was in danger of opening to $30 million six months ago. They saved it. WB pulled out all the stops for MOS yet it still died this weekend. -- nm - David Jun 23, 12:47 5
      - Yet (unless there's a big difference in international) Man of Steel will still turn out to be a better investment. -- nm - Dano Jun 23, 12:57 4
        
        That depends upon the domestic to foreign box office split as well as the negative costs of both. - David Jun 23, 13:13 3
        
        I'm thinking that WWZ fans will be more likely to buy the DVD than MOS fans -- nm - zork Jun 23, 14:34
        
        Advertising budgets are always hazier to me than even the production budget because you never know who paid for what with marketing partnerships. - Dano Jun 23, 13:36 1
        
        I don't think anyone (reasonable) is calling it a bomb but it is looking like another opportunity cost loss for WB. -- nm - David Jun 23, 14:52
    - $75M of WWZ's budget was from last-minute re-shoots to fix the movie, and has had a lot of high profile news about what a mess it was going to be. - Roger More Jun 23, 12:19 3
      - Next one? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 23, 12:58 2

      - Like just now I got to see Ricky do his snap catch...twice. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 23, 10:16 2

  - except that has proven to not be the case for cigarettes - znufrii Jun 23, 09:45 9
    - Along with other things, presumably. Smoking bans in restaurants and bars, better health awareness, the social stigma that smoking now has, etc - Roger More Jun 23, 13:36
