Do I really want to give a screen to Extraordinary Measures?

Posted by Qale (aka Qale) Jan 18 '10, 21:11

I get two more picks left. Can't give Avatar a 3rd one.

Currently I got:

2 for Avatar
1 for Eli
1 for Legion
1 for Tooth Fairy

Responses:

Give another to Legion. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:32
I'm thinking double up on Tooth Fairy and Eli. -- nm - Qale Jan 18, 21:16 10
- one wonders if eli is the play as avatar starts to lose momentum. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:17 9
  - Does winning a few Golden Globes bump a movie like the Oscars do? -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:23 1
    - Ratings for the Globes themselves were up 14%. Part of that is probably NBC, part Ricky, part Avatar, etc... -- (link) - Qale Jan 18, 21:30
  - I thought Avvie would lose momentum about two weeks ago. I said, I predict a tide turning. I can say now, emphatically I'm wrong. - Qale Jan 18, 21:20 6
    - all the way as in beating Titanic??? -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:21 5
      - All the way as in beating Titanic, getting her the pee stick, and sticking around to marry her afterwards. -- nm - Qale Jan 18, 21:22
      - isn't that a given? -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:22 3
        
        Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:24
        
        it could have been 'all the way' (spoilers) - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 21:23 1
        
        (spoiler) - Qale Jan 18, 21:24
The movie was filmed in Portland and I don't even care. -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:14 25
- You aren't the target audience. -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:29 24
  - Nobody is the target audience -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:32 23
    - wrong, it is going to be a cry fest -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:35 22
      - I didn't cry, and I cried 7 times during My Sister's Keeper. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 21:39 3
        
        7 times??? -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:41 2
        
        Yes. Now that's a tearjerker. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 21:44 1
        
        (even I almost cried once at my sister's keeper.) -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:45
      - so was titanic. so was beaches. so the people who saw titanic will flock to this? -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:38 4
        
        I never promised blockbuster -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:40 3
        
        ok. just that old people will flock to it? that's all you're saying? they're a huge demographic. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:42 2
        
        To old people, "flock" is like 10 people. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:43 1
        
        perhaps I should stop listening to my mom -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:45
      - How much do you think it makes opening weekend? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:36 11
        
        thats not the point -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:38 7
        
        it is the point of Qale's original post. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:41
        
        weren't we discussing its box office prospects opening weekend? so how is box office not the point? -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:39 5
        
        no he was talking about "giving it screens" -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:42 4
        
        it is strongly inferrable that he was talking about PSA. so box office was the point. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:44 3
        
        oh for a minute there I thought he got a job as a theater manager -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:46 2
        
        but he *does* kind of. and that's the point. how is that not related to box office? again, it's PSA. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:49 1
        
        it IS...sigh -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:51
        
        just shut up and trust her -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 21:37 2
        
        I never said it will make tons, I said it is an old people movie and women too -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:39 1

      - Sure, when the studio sees the weekend box office. -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:36
I ALREADY WORK AROUND THE CLOCK! -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 21:13
the ols people will flock to it, trust me. -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:13 8
- Do old people go to opening weekends? -- nm - Qale Jan 18, 21:15
- ols people won't even want to see it -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:14 5
  - I know 10 elderly people seeing it this weekend at one theater -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:15 4
    - yeah, I would guess that they're not the norm. this movie is going to tank. tank. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:16
    - maybe they need the cure too -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 21:15 2
      - Spoilers about the cure - Dano Jan 18, 21:17 1
        
        not a (spoiler) - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 21:17
- old -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:13
