- I like the boldness of the calories and servings but I don't like moving the percentages to the left. I'd like to see the name first. -- nm - Krusty May 27, 14:02 4
  - I don't really pay attention to the % info, but design-wise I like what they did with -- nm - ty97 May 27, 14:45
  - yah, I like that, too. (I rarely look at the percentages, as they don't apply to me.) -- nm - b. May 27, 14:07 2
    - I think it's more eye-catching this way, You look at the largest percentages and then read left-to-right -- nm - Roger More May 27, 14:11 1
      - I'd guess most people are like me and are looking for specific content - fat grams, sodium mg, etc. - b. May 27, 14:21

    - ugh, it was updated since yesterday - including the part about some people wanting to see the video. -- nm - b. May 27, 13:13
  - The mother didn't do anything. From what I read yesterday, it sounded like the girl ran away, got involved with a trafficker and was basically - Andie May 27, 13:06 1

        When there's a huge swing in a stock price to either over or under performance opening weekend, you need to check the bonds. - ty97 May 27, 13:15

      - i always forget this. Thanks! -- nm - Andie May 27, 12:47
      - Yeah, I just took care of that in my main port. -- nm - ty97 May 27, 12:43
    - Yeah, even for the $2 and $3 million ports, it's worth buying. -- nm - Inigo May 27, 12:33 2
      - Yep, a $2 million port could buy a bit over 15000 shares at current price and should net a bare minimum half a million on those shares -- (edited) - ty97 May 27, 12:35 1

  - I flipped both at 12:30 after reading something -- nm - CQ May 27, 12:29
- Remember 2.2 adjust multiplier so XMEN6 is priced pretty accurately. ALCN2 is....not. -- nm - ty97 May 27, 12:23 4
  - If ALCN2 made $9M on Friday (including Thursday previews), it's not getting to $40M. -- nm - Roger More May 27, 12:27 2
    - Agreed. I'm guessing they're using Tomorrowland as a comparison, but that skewed even more towards kids, and was not a sequel. -- nm* - Inigo May 27, 12:29 1
      - That's the best case scenario I'm looking at, and if ALCN2 follows the same pattern it only gets to $38M over the four days -- nm - Roger More May 27, 12:34
  - (IOW you can make a lot of money folks) -- nm - ty97 May 27, 12:25

    - did you see the Youtube clip of Kate on the Craig Fergueson show? -- nm - groiny May 27, 12:16 3
      - Every once in a while I get on a youtube kick of watching female guests flirt with Ferguson, and it's never a disappointment. -- nm - Max May 27, 12:31 1
        
        it is entertaining shit. I wasted a whole day watching that -- nm - groiny May 27, 12:34
      - if not, I highly suggest it. - groiny May 27, 12:16
    - They're both next level. -- nm - David May 27, 12:14
    - nah. Kate is a smokeshow. Rooney is just a cutie. -- nm - Jovian May 27, 12:13 1
      - Rooney can look like a goddess and like a peddler. -- nm - groiny May 27, 12:15

        He can talk, just fine. - Spawn May 27, 12:30
      - Hence the broken pipe. -- nm - Spawn May 27, 12:04
- I'm sort of one of those people who thinks there is no such thing as a 10. But at the top of the scale I think Margot Robbie sets the bar right now. - pmb May 27, 11:57 3
  - that is why I said "your" 10, because we all have varying values on beauty. -- nm - groiny May 27, 11:59
