- ~buys 3D jersey~ -- nm - decline Jun 10, 11:38
lyc, we set the Over/Under for this weekend's bet at $130M. I did take the under. But the first number we threw out was $120 and we both figured Over -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 11:30 3
- It's tracking at $125M. I think I'd take the over right now. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 10, 11:41 1
  - Same here. -- nm - Inigo Jun 10, 11:43

- spoils - zeitgeist Jun 10, 11:35 2
  - Manjula -- nm - Ender Jun 10, 11:52 1

- I believe that was Krusty's dad. -- nm - Ender Jun 10, 11:24 7
  - :-( -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 11:28 2
    - I'm sure he had his glory, with all the fistpumping and tanning. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 11:29 1
      - He was the original! -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 11:31
  - Okay -- thanks -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 11:25

    - Or he might have meant Rev Lovejoy's wife -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:24 2
      - right, but she isn't dead though I don't think -- nm - Beaker Jun 10, 11:25 1
        
        Correct, I was answering in terms of "maybe it got cancelled", but I'd forgotten about rabbi krustofsky -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:26
- Disco Stu? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:22 1
  - Disco Stu knows that Disco will never die. -- nm - Disco Stu Jun 10, 11:30

- [deleted] 9
  - A documentary version of The Hangover? No wonder you have tickets. -- nm - Roger More Jun 10, 11:35 4
    - More entertaining than Hangover 2. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 11:57 1
      - So is watching an empty bucket. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 11:59
    - [deleted] 1
      - No, I'm making a joke (I have no idea what it is) -- nm - Roger More Jun 10, 11:43
  - you may want to consider waiting. I don't enjoy movies when I'm tired or stressed or have too many things going on around the viewing time, but YMMV. -- nm - Diva Jun 10, 11:27 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - i am going to be visiting my mother this weekend, and i am not certain she'll want to go, so we are trying to sneak in a late Thursday too. -- nm - Andie Jun 10, 11:33 1
        
        [deleted]
- 18th. I am pretty non-OW these days. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 11:22 7
  - I like how amped OW audiences are for the bigger movies - it's like a carnival ride. -- nm - Diva Jun 10, 11:25 4
    - For sure. I'm done my share of OW and midnights, but it's not my cup of tea anymore. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 11:26 2
      - ah. -- nm - Diva Jun 10, 11:28 1
        
        With that subject in mind, the 300 midnight was awesome. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 11:28
    - [deleted]
  - Yeah, me too. Plus, the theatres are deserted and roomy after OW. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:23 1
    - Yep. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 11:25
Hopefully groiny will rethink his short. (see following message) -- (edited) - Spawn Jun 10, 11:18 25
- As for his sequel post: - Spawn Jun 10, 11:20 22
  - that is not a sequel, that is a reboot. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:21 21
    - Correct. Although you could argue that Jurassic World is a semi-reboot. A cast refresh, at least. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:23 9
      - I assume all the cast from the 3rd were all eaten at some point. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:26 3
        
        semi-related: has a lead ever been eaten in a JP movie? -- nm - Roger More Jun 10, 11:47 1
        
        i guess that depends on how to define lead. - Truman Jun 10, 12:01
        
        *ahem* -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:31 [Image]
      - except, it is not, they reference the same characters as the originals - groiny Jun 10, 11:24 4
        
        I put this in the light of Batman. It's a franchise that held the opening weekend record twice. - Inigo Jun 10, 11:31 1
        
        at 100 million, it is a short. - groiny Jun 10, 11:33
        
        It's a reboot in the same way that I'm rewriting ST from the inside out (instead of starting from scratch). ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 11:25 1
        
        I feel weird about it, because I am so stoked for it, but I don't know anyone - groiny Jun 10, 11:27
    - Ah, good point. But... -- (edited) - Spawn Jun 10, 11:22 10
      - WTF are you babbling about? - groiny Jun 10, 11:23 9
        
        This year is already primed for bigger and better. FatF 6: 97M - FatF 7: 147M. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:28 8
        
        that is a more valid comparison. - groiny Jun 10, 11:29 6
        
        Superman IV: 5M - Superman Returns: 52M -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:37 5
        
        now you are just being obtuse. - groiny Jun 10, 11:48 4
        
        You cannot quit when you are proven wrong, groiny. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:52 3
        
        Mad Max Thunderdome: 7M. Fury Road: 45M -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:53 2
        
        Pretty sure you can call this the kill shot. Also from this year? No doubt JW can do it, too. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 11:58 1
        
        just keep arguing with yourself here -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 12:06
        
        Paul Walker's death had a little to do with that. - Will Hunting Jun 10, 11:29
- shorty -- nm - Max Jun 10, 11:19
- don't be an ass. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 11:18
