      - I disagree. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 08:22 3
        
        So you think players would have given up their playing/college career over this? - ty97 Nov 9, 08:24 2

- I like that he's so good though that his debacles are still very watchable. -- nm - Qale Nov 9, 08:07 1
  - I also like that -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 08:13
- Which debacle? The whole movie? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 07:52 7
  - I thought it was ok. But then I had super low expectations going into it. -- nm - Loyola Nov 9, 07:56
  - Basically yes. Also, Super 8, which was a tremendous idea that had major third act problems. - David Nov 9, 07:55 4
    - Here's the link -- (link) - Roger More Nov 9, 07:57 2
      - But the accelerated production on the Star Wars movie was just fine. It'll all be fine. Fine, fine, fine. -- nm - Mop Nov 9, 08:33
      - What I like about Abrams is that he loves movies. - David Nov 9, 07:59
    - The 3rd act was so shaky, even Kyle Chandlers' hair looked askew. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:56

Hopefully the dystopian YA genre is over: Maze Runner $102M Domestic, $245 Intl. Scorch Trials: $81M (estimated final), $218M Intl. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 07:49 21
- please god no - not until Wool is made - Pippy Nov 9, 07:56 2
  - Indeed. Loved that. And for some reason, I don't think of it as dystopian YA even though that's basically what it is. -- nm - volnelk Nov 9, 08:12 1
    - the characters are older but its very chaste -- nm - Pippy Nov 9, 08:17
- lets see how the 5th Wave does next year. (it's a better book than Maze Runner) -- nm - decline Nov 9, 07:54
- Doubtful. Not until something that speaks more clearly to the state of the world comes along. - Beryllium Nov 9, 07:52 1
  - This is an interesting thought. Dystopia definitely was the thing in the early 10s. The world has clearly moved on now, and I'm curious to see what - MDH Nov 9, 07:58
- If they go through with the third book, I'd expect it to halve that. - spamlet Nov 9, 07:51
- Hunger Games is on pace for a $125 million o.w. -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 07:50 13
  - Hunger Games is the only of the genre that was a success, I expect it to be a hit. Divergent/Maz Runner/Mortal Instruments all were misses. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 07:57 12
    - loved the books, liekd the first 2 movies, haven't watched the 3rd one yet as splitting into 2 killed my desire to see it -- nm - Beaker Nov 9, 08:03 1
      - I had this thought too but it was very good - check it out. -- nm - Pippy Nov 9, 08:04
    - But even Hunger Games grosses are in decline. Last one made $75/$85M less than #1/2. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 07:59 9
      - Bridge films have a tendency to do that, at least historically. If you look at Deathly Hallows... - David Nov 9, 08:02 8
        
        Plus, the 3rd book sucks. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 08:02 7
        
        it really did. -- nm - decline Nov 9, 08:15
        
        well the 1st half of Mockingjay sucked - Pippy Nov 9, 08:10 2
        
        I haven't seen Part 3.1 yet. If they can solve the ending of the Book 3...it'll be okay. The first half of the book was okay... -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 08:31 1
        
        I'm telling you, its a much better movie than the book was. I was shocked actually. -- nm - Pippy Nov 9, 08:34
        
        Hell yes. -- nm - David Nov 9, 08:08
        
        I blame this more than anything. So bad. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 08:03 1
        
        Bit now more people go to see JLaw be Katniss than go because they read the books. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 08:07

      - Heh, I'd forgotten that part. -- nm - David Nov 9, 08:02
  - Flixster has been a problem lately. You may have to disconnect and reconnect your Vudu account to your UV account. -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 07:52 2
    - I actually tried that, I unlinked from UVVU but Vudu still says it's linked... - J Nov 9, 07:56 1
      - Ah, I just found it. I was mixed up cause all it was saying was to unlink from a friends account - J Nov 9, 08:07
- That's surprising it's #1, but I could easily see middle Top 10. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:48

  - Jung Ho Kang, just last year -- nm - ML Nov 9, 07:44 4
    - I hadn't realized he posted, but I do remember his gruesome injury. -- nm - David Nov 9, 07:46 3
      - Yeah, his performance last year might actually make that entire contract a value-add, even if he doesn't return at all. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:53 2
        
        That leg tho... - David Nov 9, 07:57 1
        
        Oh, I know....that was nasty and another of those nonsense slides - Will Hunting Nov 9, 08:00
- That's pretty cheap for a whole stadium -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 07:27
- And he's expected to get something like a 5yr/40mil contract. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:18 4
  - I think this greatly increases the likelihood the Twins trade Plouffe this offseason. -- nm - ML Nov 9, 07:25 3
