Prediction: By the time Beetlejuice comes out, this notion of box office ending will be seen as the over-reaction it is. -- (edited) - Inigo May 30, 09:38 8
- i'd be more optimistic if WB was even trying to sell Beetlejuices as an actual comedy -- nm - hollywood big shot May 30, 09:58 2

  - Me too. And yet I still never order Grubhub. It's more expensive for the food, plus other fees. Just not worth it most of the time. -- nm - sycor May 30, 09:25 1
    - They routinely give me 30-50% coupons every week so I generally use those if I can -- nm - oblique May 30, 09:52
