I don't know if a female empowerment anthem ballad can be a song of the summer, but Kesha's new song will be huge. -- nm - Dano Jul 8, 10:41 2
- Shouldn't song of the summer be just about over? Despacito is #1 for 8 weeks .. basically the entirety of summer to date. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:42 1
  - Probably depends on how you define 'Summer'. For many of us, it started a little over 2 weeks ago. -- nm - GregW Jul 8, 11:07

Not familiar with the characters in today's IPO. Is this going be another Black Panther that bounces around for 20 years before maybe being made? -- nm - GregW Jul 8, 09:54 27
- Looks like they originally planned to IPO it at $90 then switched to $80. -- nm - Meg Jul 8, 13:09
- Nope. It's getting made. It has a tentative start for Fall 2017. -- nm* - Diva Jul 8, 12:47
- Success this weekend wil embolden them. -- nm - Spawndroid Jul 8, 10:28
- No call on the IPO, genuinely interested in seeing Black Panther tho. -- nm - budice Jul 8, 10:13
- *shrugh* Sony seems pretty serious in expanding the Spidey related properties -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 09:56 22
  - But not serious enough to make good Spider-Man movies. -- nm - David Jul 8, 10:01 21
    - didn't like homecoming? -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 10:02 20
      - Giving Sony credit for that is like giving Art Garfunkel all the credit. -- nm - David Jul 8, 10:05 2
        
        Marvel did the same thing here that Sciere does for dogs. -- nm - Reagen Jul 8, 10:06 1
        
        Took it home, raised it for awhile, finds a nice family for it. -- nm - budice Jul 8, 10:21
      - Not Sony alone, right? -- (edited) - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:03 16
        
        oh yeah. -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 10:09 15
        
        So...Marvel = strong, Sony = weak enough to lose their crown jewel...so we're now putting faith in Sony again? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:14 14
        
        Not at all. Sony isn't going to lose that crown jewel unless they want to. That's why they keep cranking out the movies.... - Remlik Jul 8, 10:21 13
        
        If only Fox would do this with the FF franchise -- nm - eag Jul 8, 10:26 2
        
        I agree. But Feige is saying (at least right now) that kind of partnership isn't in the cards. And Fox is rumored to be making a FF cartoon. -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 10:29 1
        
        But with what looks like is gonna be a succesful Sony/Marvel colab - eag Jul 8, 10:46
        
        Sony was 1 movie away from killing their crown jewel. They went to Marvel so they'd still have one. - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:25 4
        
        that's rewriting history. The Garfield movies made 1.4 Billion worldwide. Yeah Sony knew they had a problem and they fixed it. Smart on their part. - Remlik Jul 8, 10:27 3
        
        Right, they -only- made $1.4 billion worldwide. -- nm - David Jul 8, 10:33
        
        #4 and #5 had a 20% drop domestic and #5 finished literally half of what #1 did. - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:31 1
        
        And the trendlines were all bad both here and overseas. - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:32
        
        They had no problem ruining a potent brand with two Andrew Garfield movies. - David Jul 8, 10:23 4
        
        right because the 1st 3 Spider-man movies were failures. -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 10:24 3
        
        Same logic, feel free to buy into the Terminators. #1 and #2 were awesome. - Will Hunting Jul 8, 10:26
        
        *jazz hands* -- nm - Tim Jul 8, 10:25 1
        
        still made a ton of money. and sold a ton of toys. (and yeah it wasn't that good). -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 10:26
