  - Her face looks really different. -- nm* - Reagen Apr 11, 09:38 1

- Yes, a lot of areas cabs are a better deal. I've been trying to get my daughter to understand that as she occasionally uses Lyft to get home at night. -- nm - zunk xometimes Apr 11, 08:50 2
  - Especially when the Curb app exists and you can basically do the same thing as uber or lyft. -- nm - pmb Apr 11, 09:00
  - we couldn't even find a cab Friday night coming home from the game, Uber was absurd, so we went back to Plan A and took the streetcar. -- nm - Andie Apr 11, 08:53
- BTS in Vegas over the weekend. Rideshare was $100 even on short rides -- nm - budice Apr 11, 08:48
- I'm going to gripe about this. Surge pricing sucks. It feels like they are taking advantage of a situation. - St. Epiphany Apr 11, 08:48 4
  - Taxis still there, but all about supply/demand + gas prices too -- nm - budice Apr 11, 08:49 3
    - didn't Uber(?) bring taxis into the fold? how long until the final company just charges what they want, when they want? - St. Epiphany Apr 11, 09:17 2
      - This is when autonomous vehicles kick in. No driver to pay or tip, so should be cheaper...right...right?!? -- nm - Meg Apr 11, 09:44 1

The best of Rickles on David Letterman -- (link) - Remlik Apr 11, 08:16 [youtube]
It looks like crossborder Secretlab referrals don't seem to work. Anyone in the US have a referral that they want me to use? -- nm - spamlet Apr 11, 08:11
Weekend viewing: The Lovebirds: B+. Much funnier than I expected. -- nm - kelly Apr 11, 08:00 2

- Your opponent has a lot of talent on the blocks. Run him off the court. -- nm - Baruno Apr 11, 07:55 2
  - It didn't quite work, but it was probably the right choice. -- nm - Dano Apr 11, 09:13 1
    - At least you didn't crap the bed like we did. - Baruno Apr 11, 09:45
Monday Studio Rumors: Sony shocked at Morbius' drop, Paramount wants to push Lost City to $100M, and EEAAO expansion is being curbed a bit. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 07:47 34
- I think it was an almost miracle it opened to almost $40 million. A film delayed as much as that was usually bombs out at less than $10 million. -- nm - Inigo Apr 11, 08:50
- Have we ultimately pinned it on just not being a good movie, Jared Leto, or the multiple release dates? -- nm - Qale Apr 11, 08:38 2
  - The causes are probably multivariate. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:41 1
    - Multiverse? Oh no. We’re writing him out of the Multiverse. -- nm - Qale Apr 11, 08:59
- I just want a release date for EEAAO here. That is all I am asking. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 11, 08:19 1
  - EEAAO: A. Bananas with bells on. Enjoyed it greatly. - Baruno Apr 11, 08:25
- I guess they haven't watched it, if they are shocked. Well, with that BO I'm sure they didn't. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 11, 08:17
- I'm shocked they are shocked -- nm - St. Epiphany Apr 11, 08:11 5
  - On the one hand, they're probably just saying that to save face. On the other hand, they could be stuck in a Putinesque bubble of their own making. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:14 3
    - I always put these quotes down to internal studio politics. - Roger More Apr 11, 08:23
    - This is my shocked face. -- nm - budice Apr 11, 08:16
    - RELEASE THE ESPINOSA CUT!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 08:16
  - (They’re not) -- nm - spamlet Apr 11, 08:13
- It’s the 2nd worst comic drop ever, behind Steel. Worse than X-men 3, Spider-Man 3, and Jonah Hex among others. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 11, 07:52 14
  - Meanwhile, Sonic opens to the biggest video game opening weekend ever -- (link) - oblique Apr 11, 08:00 10
    - video game and comic book. Been a comic book since 1991. -- nm - Remlik Apr 11, 08:27 3
      - Video game and comic book and cartoon -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:28 2
        
        Video game, comic book, cartoon, and yiff in hell. -- nm - Qale Apr 11, 08:40 1
        
        That last one is probably driving a non-zero amount of box office -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:43
    - I was a bit more surprised that it was Jim Carrey's biggest opening weekend. -- nm - oblique Apr 11, 08:13 3
      - His main movies came out when legs were important. Now they are nonexistent, everything is about opening weekend. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:16
      - And now you know the reason that he breaks his retirement for these. -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 08:15 1
        
        My kids are crazy for Sonic Boom on Netflix, so I'm not rightly surprised. The boy is asking already to go. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 11, 11:01
    - *klaxon* -- nm* - Faint Praise Alarm Apr 11, 08:01 1
      - If you listen carefully, the faint praise alarm sounds like it's saying "Meh... meh... meh..." -- nm - Baruno Apr 11, 08:05
  - Ooof Jonah Hex. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 07:58 2
    - "Technically, This Is A Movie" -- nm - the best pull quote they could find Apr 11, 08:00 1
      - Just looked up the movie, since Hex, the Director only has done "Free Birds." The writers have had more success - MDH Apr 11, 08:06
- The shitty movie everyone made fun of dropped badly? Wow! -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 07:50 2
  - "It sucked, literally" -- nm - budice Apr 11, 07:53
  - Agreed with all of this :-) -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 07:51
- Morbius looks like it will be lucky to hit $100M ($10M weekend and at $57M currently) -- nm* - Beaker Apr 11, 07:48 2
  - the EEAAO seems weird. it's average is double everything else in the top 5 except for Sonic ($4800 vs $2400 give or take for the rest) -- (edited) - Beaker Apr 11, 07:50
  - It's going to be lucky to hit $75-80M Domestically, $100M has zero chance. Apparently the breakeven is $240M WW. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 07:50
