WC Spoilers - Krusty Jun 24, 11:47
Looks like Knight and Day is an A-Team level disappointment. $3.8 million on Wednesday. I really thought it would do well. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 11:47 14
- until I skimmed today's bbs, I had no idea it opened yesterday. I had seen ads, but apparently not noticed the change. -- nm - b. Jun 24, 11:50 1
  - ditto -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 11:51
- i don't think anyone knew it was open. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 11:49 4
  - Thirty minutes ago, we saw a commercial for it. Brother: That actually looks kinda good, but I [I boycott Cruise] - ty97 Jun 24, 11:51 3
    - Did Tom dump a barrel of oil on his lawn or something? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 24, 11:53 2
      - I sent him the Burn Notice graphic from below. He didn't get it. - ty97 Jun 24, 11:54 1
        
        (my brother didn't get it either, btw) -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 11:55
- we have seen some of the Wednesday openers recover - Reagen Jun 24, 11:49 2
  - Even with that, I think best case is a $30 million weekend. Which is still low. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 11:52 1
    - yeah, i was only thinking 35 in the first place. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 11:54
- tracking started bad and only got worse over time. Tom is making awful choices for his brand -- nm - chuckles Jun 24, 11:48 1
  - I didn't get the "Let's Accept That I'm Crazy and Pick Roles Based On It" plan. - Mel Profit Jun 24, 11:50
- I didn't think it opened to Friday. I wonder if that factors. - ty97 Jun 24, 11:48
- I didn't even know it was out yet. Also, perhaps unrelated, I thought it was out months ago. - Beryllium Jun 24, 11:48
WC Spoils - ty97 Jun 24, 11:47 5

- It's not Pawn Stars or Royal Pains as it fails for the THIRD week to get it's #1 top spot. -- (link) - Qale Jun 24, 11:46 3
  - Just once you'd think michael would get a client who needs to have his TV show be #1 in the ratings -- nm - Beryllium Jun 24, 11:47 2
    - I'm just findnig it facinating. It's like of like the equivilant of a big box office hit that never actually gets #1. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 11:49 1
      - What the heck is wrong with my typing there. I blame RC for no good reason. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 11:50

Hello all. I haven't said this lately, so I thought I'd pass along my thoughts in a YouTube clip. -- (link) - Qale Jun 24, 11:39 [youtube] 6
- It sounds like he's asking us to buy his fuck. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:42 5
  - So pretty much the same thing then? -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 11:42 4
    - *restraining order* -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:43 3
      - Those renewal fees have to be seriously stacking up by now. -- nm - Qale Jun 24, 11:44 2
        
        Didn't he get repeat warnings? -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 11:45 1

Bery, can you put a #repost tag on all of Mop's links? I'd like to see my recycled news faster, please. -- nm - Inigo Jun 24, 11:35 1
- I occasionally wonder if he's trying to post the entire Internet here, so if it ever goes down, he'll have a backup. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 11:38
Arguing with the office soccer fanatic about the need for instant replay, him: "I don't disagree, but I disagree." -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 11:35

  - nice -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 11:31 6
    - that wasn't you? - ty97 Jun 24, 11:32 4
      - other people can be funny. not every awesome joke has to be mine. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 11:33 3
        
        to date, however, all self-pleasuring reptile posts have been your domain - ty97 Jun 24, 11:38 2
        
        I don't remember my own jokes anymore. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 11:39
        
        He just took the idea Skags had, and ran with it. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:39

Of course that 2TB hard drive gets terrible reviews. It's a Seagate. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:28 1
- I've always preferred Seagate for their 5 year warranties. Judging by the study Google did across their data center, drives aren't any more/less - oblique Jun 24, 11:39

- LIR, from earlier -- (link) - ty97 Jun 24, 11:28 [Backboard] 3
  - great deals, what search site do you guys use? I almost exclusively depend on Kayak -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 24, 11:30 2
    - I used Kayak. I think I uses 9/19 and 9/21 as the random dates, just to get a feel for fares -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 11:31 1
      - I'm thinking a first-week-of-November trip. Anyway, I should have specified, I want the *money* for a -$280 flight :) -- nm - Hotkiss Jun 24, 11:36
I didn't realize there was another person who appreciated Grand Canyon here, I'll kill him slower in Halo when he reappears -- nm - crash davis Jun 24, 11:27 41
- i saw it once, on a first date. i couldn't stay awake. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 11:36 3

- Hmm. I can play teh haloz now ... but I have to hang a shelf first :( - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 24, 11:31 1
  - it'll be a good experience for you :) -- nm - crash davis Jun 24, 11:33
- I'll reappear once my special lady friend stops being so damned sensuous. - David Jun 24, 11:29 32
  - You have missed my greatness. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:30 22
    - LOL. - groiny Jun 24, 11:31 21
      - Have been playing ranked (since you pointed it out). - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:33 1
        
        lol -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 11:33
      - werd -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 11:32 18
        
        While I have you both here, I have Remlik's copy of Borderlands. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:36 17
        
        Mordechai is the character I've used the most. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 11:44
        
        I'm using Brick (soldier). I didn't like Mordecai's hawk too much. - JaxSean Jun 24, 11:38 13
        
        It's a defensive method more than anything else. It hastens a fast retreat. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:40 6
        
        I prefer throwing the hawk into a crowd, and then picking off the left overs. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 11:40 5
        
        You know, I'm level 61 and have killed Crawmerax over 20 times and I *still* haven't played any other character. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:44 1
        
        yeah, cause you suck. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 11:51
        
        I like the Scorpio Turret a lot. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 11:42 2
        
        I like throwing it in a doorway and watching enemies hurl themselves on it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 11:46
        
        Yeah, that has me tempted. - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:44
        
        Really? Hmm. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:39 4
        
        I love the hawk, but it needs to be leveled up a bit to be really useful. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 11:40 3
        
        I forget he's there all the time. I just like the hunter for the sniper rifle skills. -- nm - Tim Jun 24, 11:42
        
        Yeah, I just used him during a level 1 or 2 I think. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 11:41 1
        
        once you get the "drop extra items" and "attack multiple targets" - groiny Jun 24, 11:41
        
        Sorry, not Brick. Roland. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 11:38
        
        I have only used Mordecai the Hunter. - groiny Jun 24, 11:37 1
        
        You mirrored my thoughts. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jun 24, 11:38
  - in other words, you're yesterday's news as soon as a new book arrives? -- nm - crash davis Jun 24, 11:30 8
    - Not even a new one. She's reading Moby Dick this week. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:31 7
      - is this a book or your new nickname? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 11:38 2
        
        Albert Pujols *wishes* he had a bat like this. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:40 1
        
        why would he want to swing a wet sock around? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 11:41
      - so your Ahab is old and boring now? -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 11:35
      - tell her spoilers to get her attention back -- nm - crash davis Jun 24, 11:34 2
        
        "It's a whale! Now come back to bed." -- nm - David si Jun 24, 11:35 1
        
        This ploy didn't work. You've failed me for the last time. -- nm - David Jun 24, 11:38
ST suggestion: Woot-off sidebar -- nm - oblique Jun 24, 11:27 1
- *splurt* -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 11:27
OMG Farmville for the iPhone. -- nm - nubby Jun 24, 11:26 8
- Nice! Speaking of, any Farmvillians collecting the 7-11 loot? I've got extra codes for some of the things if you'd like them. - Stephen (Status Seeker) Jun 24, 11:29 4
  - thank god - those things are hard to come by and I work for the freakin company!! - Epiphany Jun 24, 11:31 2
    - no wheezing the ja-uice. - sycor Jun 24, 11:34 1
      - L3! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 24, 11:44
  - I just want to grow goji berries. -- nm - nubby Jun 24, 11:31
- because you aren't enough of a dork for playing it on Facebook? -- nm - oblique Jun 24, 11:27 1
  - Exactly! - nubby Jun 24, 11:39
- yay! *glad he has an android* -- nm - sycor Jun 24, 11:27
Gotcha suckas! -- nm - Tim Jun 24, 11:26
Slow-news-posting Mop is my favorite ST character right now -- nm - oblique Jun 24, 11:26 3
- Suck it, Stephen! You keep seeking. I've got IT! -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 11:36
- especially since he doesn't realize how un-up with it he really is. (nm) - sycor Jun 24, 11:27 1
  - Yay! -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Jun 24, 11:33
