    - Turkey is the standard. -- nm - Andie Oct 8, 09:41 1
      - Yep. We do ham, but that's because turkey is too great of an investment for too little return. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 09:52

        Sure! I find it very entertaining. I don't follow hundreds so I don't see a lot of the nasty stuff on there. -- nm - zunk xometimes Oct 8, 09:15
        
        Of course. Start by following me. :-) -- nm - mara Oct 8, 09:03
        
        I rarely tweet. Very rarely. If I do it's probably a re-tweet. But I follow a number of people and find some interesting stuff that way -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 09:03 4
        
        I just figure anything interesting enough to mention will probably get reposted here. :) -- nm* - znufrii Oct 8, 09:12 1
        
        I should start charging y'all for the service. You're welcome! -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 09:13
        
        yup, I tweet/retweet maybe once a year. It's basically a read-only app for me -- nm - decline Oct 8, 09:04
        
        This is not a suggestion for/against using a twitter account, just a statement of how I use mine -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 09:03

It bothers me that I can't identify a reusable pattern for Bond movie names. I mean, there are common themes, but no pattern. Gold, diamonds, death, - Beryllium Oct 8, 08:27 8

  - yep. -- nm - Diva Oct 8, 08:47 5
    - I heart the first movie so much. It's probably my most re-watched movie released in the last handful of years. -- nm - MDH Oct 8, 08:49 4
      - Related, if it's not out in 2022, they've missed the window, so I don't know what they are thinking. -- nm - MDH Oct 8, 08:50 3
        
        they are thinking about how not to pay Asian people their worth in the face of the last film's success. Cuz racism. -- nm - Diva Oct 8, 08:53 2
        
        I mean that's accurate (and terrible), sigh. -- nm - MDH Oct 8, 08:57 1

I have read about that IRS call selling thing. "We're creating an efficient market!" No, you're hostage taking. -- nm - Reagen Oct 8, 07:58 1

No Time to Die make $6.3 million Thursday night. Spectre did $5.25 million in 2015. Skyfall made $4.6 million in 2012. -- (link*) - Inigo Oct 8, 07:26 16
- that's kind of whoa, if you ask me. -- nm - Diva Oct 8, 07:40 15
  - Remember, Venom 2 did 11.6. Add to that the runtime meaning less showings, and the weekend will not be great. -- nm - Spawn Oct 8, 07:42 14
    - I mean in terms of comparing it to other Bond films that weren't released during a global pandemic. That's a bigger number than The Before Times so, Whoa. -- (edited) - Diva Oct 8, 08:18 2
      - Now, if Tom Hardy is named the next Bond, crossover appeal! -- nm - Spawn Oct 8, 08:25 1
        
        that would be great. and they'd have to find some short-a$$ed villains and Bond Girls. 🤣 -- nm - Diva Oct 8, 08:27
    - Nah, Bond is a much older audience, and not GFB. They don't rush out for these type of previews. - Inigo Oct 8, 07:45 10
      - 20 minutes longer than Skyfall! So I will knock it down to 80m. -- nm - Spawn Oct 8, 07:59 9
        
        Running Time penalties have been completly eliminated with dynamic screenings. They just overflow it into another theater. -- nm - Reagen Oct 8, 08:02 8
        
        Right. Endgame did $357 million on a 3 hour run time. -- nm - Inigo Oct 8, 08:35 3
        
        But they also cleared the decks for it. Hence my number of screens post. -- nm - Spawn Oct 8, 08:36 2
        
        No Time To Die is on plenty of screens. It only needs to do 1/4 of Endgame's weekend to get to $90 million. -- nm - Inigo Oct 8, 08:51 1
        
        I sorta miss screen counts being posted. -- nm - Spawn Oct 8, 09:03
