I haven't seen WATCH yet. I might go see it tomorrow night. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:43

I am now eating a piece of fried fish with all the bones/spine/scale and fins still on it. I feel like a surgeon over here - con_coffee Mar 9, 12:38 3
- I'd think you'd feel like a sturgeon. - Trish Mar 9, 12:46 2
  - ~caught for the very first time~ -- nm - con_coffee Mar 9, 12:49
  - ba-dum-cshsh -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:47
Kilbo, actuals are in. - David Mar 9, 12:34 13
- so a good $15M below what you thought it was going to do? - decline Mar 9, 12:37 9
  - A good $9M below what I thought too. Stupid sexy blue wang. -- nm - Qale Mar 9, 12:45
  - Yup, I was thinking it would do $70M. As I was saying in MMQB earlier, I think $120 million of final box office, possibly even less. -- nm - David Mar 9, 12:40 1
    - I'm sticking with my 108 delist idea. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:43
  - Weirdly, I'd say a $55M opening weekend points to higher front-loading than a $70M OW would - Alan More Mar 9, 12:40 5
    - I think that the "core" following for this film all turned up for opening weekend and that their numbers contributed 5 million at best to the weekend - Loyola Mar 9, 12:42 2
      - There were only a core of 750k viewers for this? C'mon, that's a ton low. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:46 1
        
        I've never heard of the Watchmen before this, did they have a show/cartoon/comic book before this? -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 12:49
    - I get what you're saying, but $35M-$45M is the range for comic book-core movies. Watchmen broke out beyond that a bit. -- nm - David Mar 9, 12:41 1
      - sure. poor phrasing on my part. -- nm - Alan More Mar 9, 12:42
- for the Jonas Bros., right? -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:36
- crud. I got caught up in the early numbers. - JaxSean Mar 9, 12:35
- I was way off -- nm - J Mar 9, 12:34
For anyone who has seen the (now famous) final episode of The Sopranos, I have a few questions. (spoilers) - con_coffee Mar 9, 12:26 30
- Thanks all - con_coffee Mar 9, 12:37 1
  - I liked it too (even at the time). I like it even more in retrospect. -- nm - Callisto Mar 9, 12:45
- In retrospective I love it, though at the time I thought I'd lost power to the TV and screamed. -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:33 5
  - Yeah, I remember sitting there in stunned silence, looking around saying "that can't be it" -- nm - Stephen Mar 9, 12:36 4
    - yep, I didn't have HBO so I dl'd it and thought for sure some d-bag had cut if off early -- nm - J Mar 9, 12:38
    - I said "Oh, no!" thinking something went wrong, but with a couple of seconds I was laughing and saying "Those b@st@rds!" -- nm - mara Mar 9, 12:38 1
      - those couple of seconds seemed like an eternity to me -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:39
    - I ran to the Tivo, to see if it was working :) -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:37

  - real Stonecutters don't say they're a Stonecutter -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:35
  - hah! - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:35
  - LOOK AT MEEEEEEEE! -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 12:35
  - No way. - pmb Mar 9, 12:34 3

        You just made ss very happy. -- nm - mara Mar 9, 12:48
  - *laughing* Would you go away out of that. I loved the ending. -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 12:34
  - What? Really. So there is some sort of Sopruder film out there? - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 12:34 4
    - Yeah, man... only 300 people saw what *really* happened. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 9, 12:35 3
      - That's madness. - Qale Mar 9, 12:46
      - And now they defend (to the death) the editing studio from invasion? -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 12:36
      - Elvis is with me here and even *he's* laughing. -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 12:36
- Thoughts - HdnAgnda Mar 9, 12:32 2
  - Also, I felt a thrill when that song came on. I knew this was going to be it. - con_coffee Mar 9, 12:43
  - Hee. I am really liking the not knowing right now. It could be all those. :) -- nm - con_coffee Mar 9, 12:40

Little brings me as much joy as a stupid 'teen' comedy that is pitch perfect fun. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:12 40

- meh -- nm - znufrii Mar 9, 12:20 18
  - heh. thought for sure this was an si. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 12:20 17
    - it should've been -- nm - znufrii si si Mar 9, 12:22 16
      - or we'll just settle on this one, once and for all. -- nm - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:25 15
        
        I may regret this but I have to know--just exactly what genre/type movies do you like? - Trish Mar 9, 12:41 7
        
        smart, well-crafted ones. -- nm - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:44 6
        
        You meh'ed Ten Things, you undercut Terminator movies....what exactly do you consider a smart well-crafted movie? - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:47 2
        
        no I "meh"ed the idea of stupid teen comedies as a whole. - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:49
        
        [deleted]
        
        All righty then, thanks for the non-answer. - Trish Mar 9, 12:46 1
        
        not trying to waste your time, my tastes just aren't easily narrowed down. And to research a list of movies that I like would take a while. - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:48

        *marvels that you, of all people, are the one asking this, and remembering that it is not necessary to be perfect to speak of perfection, forebears* -- nm - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:29

        [deleted]
        
        and that's "growing up"? - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:31
- I've never laugher harder at a movie than during the first American Pie. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 12:13 17
  - I have difficulty remembering too many distinguishing details among the three films now. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 12:19 1
    - Helped that I knew guys exactly like Stifler and Chris Whatshisnuts' character, so also all of their stuff played to that. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 12:22
  - I was left very cold by AMPI1 & 2. American Wedding is by far my favorite. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:14 14
    - I didn't love any of them. Felt like I'd seen them all before. - pmb Mar 9, 12:24
    - I like the American Pie series about as much as I like Superbad. - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:16 7
      - I was surprised at how little I liked Superbad. Not that it wasn't funny at points. But I expected to love it. - musubi Mar 9, 12:27 6
        
        Yeah, all the love for that movie befuddles me. I really disliked it. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:29 5
        
        It was just ok. If not for Micheal Cera, I'd have stopped watching. (nm) - musubi Mar 9, 12:36 4
        
        I'm not a Cera fan much at all. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:37 3
        
        He lost a lot for me when he stonewalling the Arrested Development movie. - znufrii, snob Mar 9, 12:40
        
        I think he's been fantastic in everything I've seen him in. - musubi Mar 9, 12:39 1
        
        He and Kat Dennings were perfectly casted in Nick and Norah. -- nm - TFox Mar 9, 12:40
    - *bookmarks for future reference* -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 12:15

      - Ditto. -- nm - Ender Mar 9, 12:16
    - Are you kidding? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 9, 12:14 1
      - Not at all. #1 had way too many characters I couldn't care less about. Oddly, by #3, they were gone. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:17
FWIW, on the weekend we went to an open house ... this street sign was directly across the street. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:12 [flickr] 3
- are you looking at actual houses, problems with the condo? - J Mar 9, 12:14 2
  - yes, actual houses. We need more space, and dealing with the strata stuff is getting onerous. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:15 1
    - (When we move, which probably won't be until next year by the look of things, I'll step down as strata president and just be a regular owner) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:17
I do like that we get into who's better Ripley from the Aliens moves or Sarah Connor of the Terminator Series. - Mel Profit Mar 9, 12:11 15
- River in Serenity -- nm - marcel Mar 9, 12:22 1
  - and with one post, we have the winner - dogbert183 Mar 9, 12:27
- more seriously, yeah I enjoy these sorts of conversations much better than other types -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:19
- Well, I had a conversation about Ripley with Jax on Friday. All of those who remained mum then, smell funny. And its Sarah - crash davis Mar 9, 12:16 9
  - I actually think Alien 3 is half-decent, particularly the "assembly cut" available on DVD. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 9, 12:18 8
    - I like three. Can't stand four. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 9, 12:27
    - I dislike whichever one it was that Whedon wrote -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:18 6
      - This is even more of a reason to check out the making of doc about it on DVD. It's a classic example of studio meddling. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 9, 12:19 3
        
        fair enough, I probably should see that -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:21 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        "Oh darn." -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 9, 12:22
      - uhm, I assume you're aware of the story behind that, right? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:19 1
        
        not really -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:21
- Ripley, obvie. -- nm - Loyola Mar 9, 12:12 1
  - but ... do you mean Ripley Original Recipe, or Ripley Extra Crispy? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 9, 12:13
Someone wrote in the paper at the weekend, well more or less said; "The crisis in the public finances is overdone, there's 300 billion of the people's - Loyola Mar 9, 12:10 2

I enjoyed what little of the Halo Wars demo I played on Sunday -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:10 2
- It looks pretty but I just don't think it's for me...the new maps come out soon and ODST will be out in the 4th quarter - J Mar 9, 12:12 1
  - I like that sort of RTS game, but I've never played one on a console before. -- nm - crash davis Mar 9, 12:17
bookmarking is one of the many ways I offload memory. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 12:09 1
- Same here. There is just too much to try to remember everything. -- nm - not2fast Mar 9, 12:22
"Dude, is it red?" "No..." - TFox Mar 9, 12:06 4
