We're onboarding a new support platform. I won't say the name, but I will say that it's intended to... - Mop Jun 17, 09:58 2
- Digging deeper, apparently Australia is in play. Somehow, this is mafic's fault. -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 10:06
- hard pass -- nm - Beaker Jun 17, 10:00
Lightyear earned $5.2 million in previews. Ouch. I really thought it would be a hit. -- nm - Inigo Jun 17, 09:56 14
- Hoping to get to see it this weekend. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 11:17
- And people wonder why Pixar stuff is going to Disney+... - David Jun 17, 10:19
- The original trailer was so bad they never recovered. -- nm - MDH Jun 17, 09:57 11
  - Clearly it's because of the gays. -- nm - Fox News Jun 17, 10:15
  - If Tim Allen had been in it, this would not have happened -- nm - Patricia Heaton Jun 17, 10:12
  - You and I have very different definitions of bad. -- nm - Inigo Jun 17, 09:58 8
    - Yep. It was clear to me from Trailer 1 that I would be there on Day 0 if possible. I had to compromise, go Day 1 because there were no previews. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 17, 10:14
    - It killed interest so fast the second trailer revealed the whole plot. Disney knew they messed up, they just couldn't fix it. -- nm - MDH Jun 17, 10:00 6
      - I think this low opening has more to do with the same sex kiss backlash and the fact that it's not Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. It's some space guy. -- nm - Inigo Jun 17, 10:25 5
        
        I suspect it's in Disney upper management's best interest for a high-profile Pixar film to underperform. -- nm - David Jun 17, 10:27 4
        
        It may be Bald Whatshisface getting some sweet revenge on Pixar for putting him in a position where FL is annoying him. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 17, 11:10
        
        That really doesn't sound right. - Inigo Jun 17, 10:50 2
        
        How does this differ from Encanto with a $27M opening weekend? I'm not saying Lightyear is going to dominate streaming like Encanto has - oblique Jun 17, 10:55 1
        
        The big difference is this is an established franchise that brings in revenue from all different parts of Disney. - Inigo Jun 17, 11:50
It’s obviously going to be Buzz over Woody in the final, the fix is in. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 09:25 2
- Wall-E shall destroy all!! -- nm - Jovian Jun 17, 09:36
- Wall-E was beating Buzz 52%-48% when I voted this morning -- nm - Beaker Jun 17, 09:26

        It's nice to hang my Pulp Fiction poster. It really says "DON'T BOTHER ME MOM!" -- nm - Guigue Jun 17, 10:02
        
        IS THAT A PRIVATE PARKING SPOT? IN THE PLATEAU?! -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 10:00 4
        
        TWO Parking spot! Though one is for the upstairs neighbors. We don't have a car though, so it's for visiting family/friends and for occasional clients -- nm - Guigue Jun 17, 10:03
        
        You're a block from Parc Lafontaine! Who'd you have to kill to get this place? -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 10:03 2
        
        If I told you, I'd have to put you in the crawl space with the others - Guigue Jun 17, 10:04 1
        
        😡 -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 10:06
- Yup! Guiguexstravganza! -- nm - spamlet Jun 17, 09:50 1
  - *rereads slower* oh ok -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 10:10

- When can I visit? -- nm - LMS Jun 17, 09:36
- yup -- nm - decline Jun 17, 09:24
- Also, he's right near one of the best poutine places and the best Portuguese chicken places in the city -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 09:24 1
  - And the best Portugese chicken place sells the most amazing Chicken/Chouriço Poutine! -- nm - Guigue Jun 17, 09:44
- right? -- nm - Andie Jun 17, 09:23
Alright, it's Friday. That's a positive. Post something else that's positive. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 09:10 20

- My latest houseplant hasn't died yet. -- (pic) - LMS Jun 17, 09:20 [Attachment]
- Lightyear is a delight. Not unexpected, unlike what those mouthbreathers review-bombing it in IMDb might say. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 17, 09:18 2
  - Mouthbreathers. -- nm - Eleven Jun 17, 09:50
  - I have been rather excited to see it since the first trailer. I saw newer ads on tv are giving a lot more away and have avoided. -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 09:40
