- Nice! I love Squeeze. -- nm - Dano Sep 23, 12:58
- Same. Like I'd go see the Furs to see the two or three songs I really love, but I'd go see Squeeze to see the entire show. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 23, 12:24 5

        I have no idea what your point is here. Clearly nothing resonated with audiences this weekend. It was lower than anything in 15 years at this time - Will Hunting Sep 23, 16:03 2
        
        the point is when you dump your good shit straight to streaming instead of giving it a theatrical run first, there’s scraps in theaters for audiences -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 23, 16:16 1
        
        So, back to the original point here, "Yes, -- it's an historically bad weekend, even for mid-September." - Will Hunting Sep 23, 16:25

  - 22 years post-9/11, that’s probably the less far fetched plot twist they came up with looking back - hollywood big shot Sep 23, 11:17 1
    - It's always fun when the plot is a right-wing conspiracy to take over the government, and they hire an actual wackjob who'd be in favour of a real - Roger More Sep 23, 13:11
