- which overboard? -- nm - amanda May 24, 07:09 1
  - Derbez, four years ago. Mel Rodriguez in that one, and Amaury Nolasco in the Valet are fun supporting actors. -- (link) - Max May 24, 07:13 [youtube]
- We really liked it. It's funny to see a photo of the lead actor as he normally appears -- nm - prayformojo May 24, 07:00

- I'll be watching that -- nm - Beaker May 24, 07:30
- reuniting K & Joi! -- nm - mud May 24, 06:59
- The rumors about what's going on at Netflix with this movie are something. - MDH May 24, 06:55 13
  - People: Netflix doesn't have anything good. Also people: Man this should not be on Netflix. -- nm - Qale May 24, 07:50
  - The implication is that Netflix has math that says $200 million budgets do not increase subscribers. Netflix is nothing if not pragmatic. - Mop May 24, 07:37 1
    - Exactly. Except the problem that they are running into appears to be that none of their movies increase subscribers. -- nm - MDH May 24, 07:42
  - I feel like this probably should have gone to theaters after watching the trailer. -- nm - sycor May 24, 07:16 9
    - Small run is happening, but none of the major chains are carrying it. There goes another $200M. -- nm - MDH May 24, 07:18 7
      - I assure you that if Netflix was willing to do a 45 window - or even a 30 day window - that theaters would gladly show it. - Mop May 24, 07:38 1
        
        Agreed. This is exactly what I'm saying. The current window prevents chains from showing it, and Netflix is debating opening it up. -- nm - MDH May 24, 07:43
      - curious how their accounting works. The money is out the door of course; but do they record the expenses while filming? or expense the works - Beaker May 24, 07:34
      - I know Cinemark has carried a few of the Netflix movies for that week. That's stinks. But I did just see Cinemark will have GI The Movie for the 35th - sycor May 24, 07:25 2
        
        Yeah, Cinemark - and a lot of independents - won’t follow AMC’s and Regal’s lead. It remains to be seen if the hard line is the right approach. - Mop May 24, 07:40 1
        
        AMC and Regal both showed Firestarter and Marry Me, just on less screens/theaters. -- nm - MDH May 24, 07:44
      - I love this narrative that Netflix needs theaters because that's where the money is right now. - Inigo May 24, 07:22
    - It is, for a whole week! -- nm - mud May 24, 07:18
didn't watch the game, but sounds like the Blues really let Kadri get under the skin. giving up a 5-3 going after him... - Beaker May 24, 06:40
The room where the jailer and the criminal hid out in Evansville has a waitlist of people now wanting to stay in it. -- (link) - spamlet May 24, 06:37 2
- people are stupid and weird -- nm - Beaker May 24, 06:41 1
  - I'm not sure that even begins to describe some people. -- nm - sycor May 24, 06:44
Josh Vinson Jr., 5, managed to defend his title as the No. 1 Josh. -- (link) - decline May 24, 06:27 5
- It's sad to see how commercial this has become -- nm - prayformojo May 24, 06:28 4
  - You knew it was over when they started getting sponsored by Red Bull. And then when Josh 1 came out with his signature Tequila. -- nm - pmb May 24, 06:54
  - Remember when it was just about the Joshes, man? -- nm - spamlet May 24, 06:35 1

Xbox One physical games can’t be played on Series S in any way right? - spamlet May 23, 19:57 5
