  - so a movie, shopping and a nap? -- nm - groiny Mar 10, 08:54 1

- X-Men: Origins: Logan on Sunday night. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 08:48 3
  - X-Men: Origins: Logan would be a ... weird movie -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:48 2
    - If by weird you mean shitty. I was just making fun of XO:Wolverine. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 08:52 1
      - But Logan is "a perfect movie". So combine it with a horrible movie and who knows what you get. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:55

    - just a couple batches of brownies. Maybe a quiche if the mood strikes. My SIL gave me more eggs. (She raises free-range chickens) -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:25 10
      - does she ever give you fresh chicken? -- nm - decline Mar 10, 08:35 9
        
        no - she loves those birds and they're for laying. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:36 8

March Bandness Day 3: (I was too busy to get here and post Frank Zappa vs. Michael Jackson yesterday. MJ slaughtered.) - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 08:05 5
- I think someone played with the seeding #s to get that pairing. -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:07 4
  - In terms of singers ahead of them or the 12 vs. 21? (The latter being how it naturally falls in a 32-seed bracket.) -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 08:09 2
    - In terms of them having the same cause of death. -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:10 1
      - Ah, gotcha. Yeah, likely some subjectivity with the committee. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Mar 10, 08:20
  - Single bracket set-up was just dumb. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:08
Based on the preview #s, I think $40-$50M is the range for Kong -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:03 33
- I love me some Hiddles but I just don't want to see this -- nm - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:10 7
  - It got a great review today in the Chicago Tribune (3.5 stars out of 4). I was pretty surprised. -- nm - pmb Mar 10, 08:15 4
    - a lot of top critics are liking it a lot more than I did. I think it would have helped had I seen it in IMAX. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:16 3
      - I am now torn. My theater got the recliners in the other rooms but the IMAX did not. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:22 2
        
        see it in IMAX 3D if you can. -- nm* - Diva Mar 10, 08:24 1
        
        But it is a 10:45pm! - Spawn Mar 10, 08:27
  - WHat if I told you the final scene was Kong picking him up by the foot, and smashing him about and saying, "Puny human!"? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:11 1
    - I'd die laughing and go see it immediately -- nm - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:13
- yeah me too. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:07
- I expect it to open stronger tham the last Kong movie which did $50M opening weekend. So I will give it a $55 -$60M range. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:06 17
  - That was Peter Jackson coming off LOTR though. -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:11 6
    - King Kong >>>>> Peter Jackson. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:12 5
      - at the time, no. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:14 3
        
        All time. HSX people tend to over emphasize the importance of directors. Godzilla just did $93M. - Spawn Mar 10, 08:17 2
        
        And it had previews of $9.3 million -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:23 1
        
        True. I expect *strong* matinees. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:25
      - LOL. -- nm - MDH Mar 10, 08:14
  - Whoa. The 2005 version runtime: 3 hrs. 7 min. - Spawn Mar 10, 08:10 9
    - I fell asleep in the theater. -- nm - Ender Mar 10, 08:39
    - it certainly felt like it -- nm - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:12
    - it was waaay too bloated. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:11 6
      - WETA gotta eat - Mel Profit Mar 10, 08:25 4
        
        His death scene was like 15 minutes - Will Hunting Mar 10, 08:44
        
        The dino chase was... not good. But I liked the movie overall , acknowledging its flaws -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 08:29 2
        
        the dino chase was awful and waaay too long. I think he's still fighting them. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:34
        
        I'm a sucker for most CGI fests but they could have cut out a few sequences. - Mel Profit Mar 10, 08:33
      - "Peter Jackson Brushes His Teeth Part 1 - runtime 2 hrs 48 min" -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 08:19
- I bet it cost more than that ... by double. It looks pretty good - how are the reviews? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 08:05 5
  - it'll make so much internationally the domestic # won't matter. My personal review is that it's real dumb but there's some fun stuff in it (spoiler) - Diva Mar 10, 08:10 3
    - does * spoil* question - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:11 2
      - serious big spoiler - Diva Mar 10, 08:13 1

Hey everyone, my daughter just released a new song. I'm biased of course, but I think it's really good. She has also now changed her stage name to - pmb Mar 10, 08:03 13
- she did not want to go with Princess Monicle? - groiny Mar 10, 08:24 1
  - I think "Rules" is her abbreviated version of that. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:29
- I'd have listened to this without knowing she was your daughter. This is well done. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 10, 08:16 1
  - Thanks. She did all the production on the song (except she had an engineer work with her on the vocal production). I think she's really grown in her - pmb Mar 10, 08:28
