the hsx poll: how badly do we think hot pursuit does this weekend? I have $14.5 mill -- nm - amanda May 8, 07:51 7
- 4 fresh. 70 rotten. 5% so far. So it's a 1% worse film than Paul Blart 2. -- nm - volnelk May 8, 08:04
- I think slightly higher. 16-17M, maybe. -- nm - Roger More May 8, 07:58 3
  - my gut was actually 13. I added some because vergara might get the latino vote. -- nm - amanda May 8, 08:06

    - Yeah, it looks like it is the first time he has sold it. Will grab it for sure. - Spawn May 8, 07:40 5

        Yes. I need to revisit it. After I maxxed it I used it some but do not even carry it anymore. I tend to stick with a rocket launcher. -- nm - Spawn May 8, 07:45 1

        *shrug* A racist arc wrecking machine. -- nm - Shaun May 8, 07:42
- already have Thunderlord. Love it. The Obsidian Mind helmet's roll looks shitty -- nm - groiny May 8, 07:37 8
  - The table is actually missing the other stat. It's a split stat helmet and the roll isn't that bad overall. -- nm - Shaun May 8, 07:38 7
    - oh, ok, that makes a big difference. - groiny May 8, 07:39 6
      - I like mine, but would rather use the exotic spot for something better. -- nm - Spawn May 8, 07:46

    - but... but... -- nm - amanda May 8, 07:41 1
      - I'm with you. I know some people don't like Simmons, but I love him and I love Grantland as it is. -- nm - volnelk May 8, 08:06

      - That part kills, but not in a way that makes me want to see the movie. - Inigo May 8, 06:21
