- revisit this subject when you have a minute, and then award yourself an appropriate number of znufrii-speak demerits. -- nm - TFox Jan 19, 15:52
- I'm not arguing against the principle of the filibuster - I'm arguing against the filibuster as it's currently practiced in your Senate. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 15:44 16

        I don't think he's saying the Filibuster itself has made the Senate dysfuction. Rather that it's a tool being used by the dysfuction. - musubi Jan 19, 16:06 1
        
        An awesome typo and yes, more or less. - Reagen Jan 19, 16:07

Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) offered the next *3* Spiderman flicks -- (link) - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 15:40 21

        I don't think anyone walked out of 500 Days thinking, "god, I'm sick of this Twilight-y angst bullshit." nm - Dignan Jan 19, 15:52
      - turning "it" into -- nm - Stephen Jan 19, 15:46 12
        
        i'm sure Sony would be thrilled if this series did Twilight numbers - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 15:47 11
        
        If they're aiming for $190 million a Spider-Man film, they're aiming waaaaaay too low. -- nm - David Jan 19, 15:52 9
        
        for a reboot, without Tobey/Kristin, that might target a different demo? - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 15:53 8
        
        I think after the dreck that Spidey 3 was...we're looking at a huge drop. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 15:58
        
        I think they need to look at a Batman Begins kind of situation before they re-hit those mega numbers. nm - Dignan Jan 19, 15:55 1
        
        yes -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 19, 15:56

        Again, if you're planning to lose 50% of your audience, you're planning poorly...unless you think Terminator Salvation was a success. -- nm - David Jan 19, 15:55
