Cash money poll: should Disney have used Force Awakens to test out dynamic ticket pricing? - jar jar trump Dec 17, 13:34 32
- I just don't see how that works when the marginal cost of increasing capacity in the digital film age is virtually nil - znufrii Dec 17, 13:55 4
  - there was a quote in the WSJ from an IMAX manager who said he thought people would have paid 2 to 3 times face value for a Thurs/Friday ticket -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 13:57 2
    - they could have done that - regular prices on Friday - "Elite VIP Preview Pricing" on Thursday. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 13:59 1
      - I don't have as much of a problem with that, or, say, it being done for charity, as with regular release manipulations. - bb.-8 Dec 17, 14:01
  - [deleted]
- They should have relased it a month ago for one day only and charged $100 a ticket. - Lukola Skywalker Dec 17, 13:50
- From Disney's perspective, yes - if you're going to test out surge pricing, you have to do it for a movie people want to see. - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 17, 13:43 2
  - [deleted]
  - they should try it out on live shows, like those rock concerts we bitch about sell outs in seconds and secondary scalpers markets -- nm - General Zeit Dec 17, 13:52
- [deleted] 3
  - But not for the event movies on opening weekend -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 13:43
  - are they really? -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:41 1
    - [deleted]
- nope. -- nm - R2-Deev2 Dec 17, 13:39
- no way. people being extra mad at this time of year would suck. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:38
- It would have awakened a force indeed. An angry one. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:38
- no. the fanboy rage would have been deafening. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 13:37 7
  - There's never going to be a good time to do it. But if ever there was a movie they would pony up despite the nerd rage, this would be it -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 13:41 6
    - the franchise needs to win back the fans. -- (edited) - Mel Profitine Dec 17, 13:43 5
      - I think you're right. I think an opening weekend boycott would have been organized. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:47
      - *IF* they ever decide to implement that, the first movie will basically be a sacrifice to it. - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 13:46 3
        
        a kids movie might work. - Mel Profitine Dec 17, 13:47 2
        
        new Potter film! -- nm - Remlik Five standing by! Dec 17, 13:56
        
        I'd do anything for love...but I won't do that -- nm - General Zeit Dec 17, 13:50
- ... surge pricing for movies? Oh, that'll really boost profits. -- nm - Be Be 8 Dec 17, 13:36 7
  - the minute it goes into effect, I'll never set foot into a theater again - Pippy Bells Dec 17, 13:44 5
    - agreed. It would be a rare movie that I'd go to see under that circumstance. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 17, 13:45
    - The flip side is, if you wait for demand to go down, it gets cheaper -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 13:45 3
      - we already have levels now though - VIP etc cost more. second run theatres cost less.. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 13:49 2
        
        Tuesdays (or whichever is slowest for theater) cost less. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:52
        
        yep, and lower prices during non-prime-times, too. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:50
  - With this much demand, it would have been the perfect test case, at one level - jar jar trump Dec 17, 13:37
STAR7 has hit the 200OW level. Trading at H$541.45 -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 13:21 1
- I assume that AVNG2 holds the Halt record there at H$561 -- nm - Max Rebo Dec 17, 13:24
I like red and yellow curry, but green curry makes me want to throw up. -- nm - Be Be 8 Dec 17, 13:20
WWE: Mandy from this years Tough Enough (the hot blonde) will join Total Diva's. -- nm - Remlik Five standing by! Dec 17, 13:20
And Greg doesn't like lettuce on his burgers. The world is gone to curry. -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 17, 12:55
I am just amazed people still watch Survivor. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 12:55 71
- I had stopped watching for 5-6 years, but now the wife and I watch with the kids who love it. Plus they learn a little strategy so win-win -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 17, 13:45
- "Im surprised people still watch Star Wars, so much amateur filmmaking" -- nm - Davy si Dec 17, 13:20 1
  - SWIPER, NO SWIPING. -- nm - Star Wars editor Dec 17, 13:21
- I have never watched an entire episode of Survivor. I've tried once or twice with my ex when it first started, but even back then I couldn't do it -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 17, 13:08 10
  - This season I would mostly work on my laptop while my wife and I watched it -- nm - Be Be 8 Dec 17, 13:09 9
    - I have an aversion to reality TV for some reason. I just can't do it. I've never watched American Idol, The Voice, or any of that stuff. The only - Darth Sycor Dec 17, 13:13 8
      - Idol and The Voice aren't really reality shows, they're talent shows, which have been around as long as radio. - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:18 6
        
        Maybe he meant any type of unscripted show. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 13:24 5
        
        I know, just one of my bugaboos about the term "reality show", the news is the ultimate reality show. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:28 4
        
        (through their own political news lens) -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 13:36 2
        
        The point being it's an inexact term, too broadly misapplied. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:42 1
        
        I agree. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 13:44
        
        except, that it really is not, in that they also only show you what they want to. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:34
      - Yeah, see below. I pretty much donot like people until I get to know them. Then some are okay. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 13:16
- I've given up criticizing people's taste in music, tv, movies, etc. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 13:05 8
  - it's not even criticizing really, just shocked it is still relevant. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:05 7
    - (I understand your stance, didn't mean to insinuate that) -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 13:06 6
      - The same for me. People should watch what they enjoy. I was just amazed the show caught on like it did. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 13:08 5
        
        I am not, it was good for a while, but it has changed very little and yet is still on and people still are tuning in. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:09 4
        
        To me, it was like watching European Basketball or something. I has no rooting interest in a bunch of starngers. I forget that I did watch when Rupert - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 13:15 2
        
        It is sport for non-sport watchers, and its unpredictable nature is part of its appeal to fans of the show. -- nm - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 17, 13:24
        
        oh, I watched in the beginning quite a bit, I had my favorties, you get attached to people. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:17
        
        This season had special interest since it was entirely returning players picked by fans. - Davi Dec 17, 13:12
- I watch " Married at 1st Sight" - so I can't even begin to comment on other people's viewing choices -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 17, 13:02 20
  - Yeah, I used to watch America's Next Top Model. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 13:12 17
    - Speaking of, my sister and her family had Thanksgiving dinner with Tyra Banks this year. - pmb Dec 17, 13:32 4
      - I love Tyra Banks, even though she crazy. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:33 3
        
        They said she was really nice. -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 13:39 2
        
        I am sure she was. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:40 1
        
        I'd say situation matters. - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:45
    - that used to be my kryptonite. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:18 11
      - I think the crappiest show I ever watched regularly was Bad Girls Club. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 13:25 10
        
        OMG, I also watched The Apprentice for a while! I saw the Omarosa season, and one or two others. -- nm - mara Dec 17, 13:44 2
        
        I watched parts of 3 or so seasons(Rodman and Penn). Would fast forward through the toupee. -- nm* - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:49
        
        back then, it wasn't really questionable. I watched until they had a season with people who were unemployed, and he had - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:49
        
        I...we...watched "Devious Maids". It was good, stupid fun for awhile. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 17, 13:26 6
        
        My bro and SIL watch My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding. When it's on at their place, i can't turn away. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 13:42 1
        
        (I mean, the dresses!) -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 17, 13:43
        
        If we're doing a confessional, I watch Total Divas. -- nm - pmb Dec 17, 13:40
        
        We watch Bar Rescue, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and Project Runway. -- nm - Seven Strongbads Swimming Dec 17, 13:38 2
        
        we watched Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders for a season+ -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 17, 13:46
        
        I watch Project Runway, Survivor(ST's fault), The Amazing Race, and America's Next Top Model. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:45
  - heh, I think my sister said she caught our mom watching that. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:03 1
    - well the way its been going - someone might get murdered and need an autopsy - LOL - kidding but yes last season someone got a restraining order -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 17, 13:10
- It's infrequently brilliant. One of last night's Tribal Councils was amazing. - David Dec 17, 12:59 10
  - the last season I watched, I am sure it was the editing, but it was painfully obvious - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:00 9
    - They do that a lot for the purpose of storytelling, but it doesn't always work. - David Dec 17, 13:02 8
      - yeah, but I don't think he should be giving people rope to hang themselves with either. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:04 7
        
        Oh, I completely agree that the show would be better with less meddling and no Probst. -- nm - David Dec 17, 13:06 6
        
        like, tell me the rules of the game, collect and read my votes. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:11 5
        
        I completely agree. Interference allowed a couple of dreadful returning players to win. -- nm - Davi Dec 17, 13:12 4
        
        you may as well hand the dude you want to win a map to the immunity idol while you are at it. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:15 3
        
        I would not be surprised to learn that happened a fewish seasons ago, at least help with finding. - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:27 1
        
        I wish I could remember the exact moment, but I was sitting there watching and all of a sudden - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 13:29
        
        Thought you didn'y watch this season. - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 13:26
- If it wasn't discussed on here, I wouldn't be aware the show was even still on TV. -- nm - JaxPavan Dec 17, 12:59 4
  - The amazing thing about the show is that it's ratings have remained relatively consistent. - David Dec 17, 13:03 3
    - I assume you don't buy the RHAP bump? -- nm - loaner machine mandy Dec 17, 13:05 2
      - I do. And I think we saw the RHAP bump in who got on the show. There was no reason Kelley Wentworth should have gotten enough fan votes to make it. - Qui-Gonn Jim Dec 17, 13:54
      - I don't have any idea what that is so probably not. -- nm - Davi Dec 17, 13:09
- it's still fun -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 12:57 1
  - I gave up several seasons ago. nm -- nm - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 17, 12:57
- I am just amazed anyone ever watched it. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 12:56 8
  - when it was good, it was very enjoyable. "real world" combined with survival skills and some "amazing race" challenges tossed into the mix. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:00 7
    - I watched most of the first season. Just not enough enjoyable there. I really liked Amazing Race but finally got too annoyed by the blatant editing - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 13:03 2
      - the editing amuses me now - many eps this season, I said to my sister (middle older one, with whom I watch), "look at the light" - that gives it away - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:08 1
        
        Yeah, that was one of the bigger tells. If they put date & time stamps in the corner I would be back in an instant. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 17, 13:09
    - It just got too repetitive for me. Bickering, crazy people, annoying people. The challenges were similar. I know the game dynamics change somewhat - pmb Dec 17, 13:03 3
      - for me, TAR has done a remarkably good job of keeping things interesting. the only season I had no interest in was the families one. -- nm - bb.-8 Dec 17, 13:06 2
        
        I'm surprised that I stil. watch Survivor but gave up on TAR seven or eight seasons ago. - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 17, 13:26
        
        Honestly, I think the families one killed TAR for me. I haven't watched it since. -- nm - Be Be 8 Dec 17, 13:08
you know, for kids -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 17, 12:55
Science the shit out of b1! -- nm - David Dec 17, 12:53 2
- The smell of curry will be on the next 10 boards. -- nm - Lukola Skywalker Dec 17, 12:54 1
  - Better than kale. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 17, 12:57
