  - It's about optics, analysts and - most importantly - triggering certain bonus payouts. -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 13:34

        There's been mole hunts for stuff when the odds shift at the last minute...it's weird to me too. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 16:00

        When Becky blew up, they should have kept it a singles match. -- nm - Tim Feb 17, 16:10

The closing credits of Lego 2 are really terrific -- nm - prayformojo Feb 17, 11:42 14
- The pre-roll credits are really amazing. -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 17, 13:04

  - really? every STer review has been extremely positive from what I have seen -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:29 4

        Yeah, I don't know which reviews I read but lost the magic was in one. So it being good is news to me -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 12:38
        
        85% now (189/33 ) -- nm* - Beaker Feb 17, 12:38
  - I could see it making my top 10 for the year. -- nm - David Feb 17, 12:28
  - It's a B+ to the first movie's A but mostly due to the premise not feeling as daring of a magic trick anymore. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:24 5
    - Hmm. We liked it more. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:27 4
      - I wouldn't argue with anyone on that point. I don't have any specific faults with it other than "I've kind of seen this before" - Reagen Feb 17, 12:32
      - It's a blast. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 17, 12:28 2
        
        I agree with Dark cumber -- nm - budice Feb 17, 14:04
        
        Agreed. There was no point it felt like it was dragging. Just fun throughout. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 12:29
Some STers have explained how NASCAR has changed (is the championship) Jalopnik summarized “How NASCAR works” it’s a mess. Do the fans like this? -- (link) - MDH Feb 17, 11:42 5
- A casual observer like me can find football's downs strategy interesting. NASCAR made viewing it clunkier. It's false drama. -- nm - Max Feb 17, 16:38
- turn left turn left turn left turn left -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 12:30
- cars make turns, get points. end of season, top points fight for other points, most combine points wins. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 12:26
- I don't really care. I just watch the race. - zunk on edge Feb 17, 11:52
- No. It sucked the last of the interest from me. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 11:45
At the risk of sounding alarmist, How to Train Your Dragon's performance next week is basically make or break for the box office in 2019. - Tim Feb 17, 11:41 7
- I completely agree. We've finally reached the long predicted tipping point. -- nm - David Feb 17, 13:22 3
  - The weird part is that it feels more like this happened suddenly instead of gradually. -- nm - Tim Feb 17, 13:50 2
    - For me, it is the short window from release to digital. - JaxSean Feb 17, 15:28
    - I feel like it's a byproduct of Netflix movies improving, but it goes back to something that we've said for a while... - David Feb 17, 14:10
- I wouldn’t worry too much. Our pre-sales are above average for an animated movie -- nm - Mr. Havens Feb 17, 13:08
- Didn't the 2nd one underperform in North America? -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 12:46 1
  - Opened bigger, earned slightly less. People are making too much of it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 12:50
It was rather costly and elaborate but commissioning Miller & Lord to make a movie about our exact situation was well worth it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 11:35

  - That's likely the front that went through here a day or so ago. -- nm - Meg Feb 17, 11:16
Rewatching the Isn't It Romantic trailer, I'm like "why do I suddenly recognize the "gay best friend?"" - Tim Feb 17, 11:09 2

- "You know the Olsen Twins countdown clock? We invented that!" - David Feb 17, 11:15

You know, a lemon jelly donut sounds really good right now ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 17, 10:39 3
- Powered sugar on top and the jelly just tart enough not to be sickly sweet. It was good -- nm - Amoxy Feb 17, 10:44 2
  - Sounds fantastic. - ReluctantCynic Feb 17, 11:29 1
    - I make Krusteez lemon bars. instead of water I always use lemon juice. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 17, 11:40
