the way of water has no beginning and no end

Happy new year folks! May Avatar keep making lotsa money.

friday is a week day

14.5 is how many pages we'll get through before we get the actual number.

we've been busy watching avatar on repeat

Is that really immortality though? A clone with your memories is a lot like you but without the actual transfer of consciousness your original mind is still gonna kick it. $80m did seem low for something supposedly paying for everything though lol

As far as I know, it'd all be self reported so it's whatever people identify themselves with.

But have you considered my preconceived notions

feel like if you're gonna make big claims about how good your prediction was on what the demos would be you should probably actually know what the demos are

gnarliest arm removal in cinema thank you jim

the box office is nothing without water-based bombs

Number 10 "Hold my nuts" About the Film Synopsis A man gets his nuts held Its Legacy From the Filmmaker Why It's Great Critic Opinion "It’s not every day that you can say, “Shaquille O’Neal was the best actor in that movie.” And yet that may well be true in the case of “Uncle Drew,” a genuinely unusual exercise in screen comedy directed by Charles Stone III that features Mr. O’Neal and several other N.B.A. superstars, both retired and active. The movie is a spinoff of a series of viral Pepsi ads in which the Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving, made up to look older, took much younger street basketball players to school. Pepsi is also a producer of this feature, which helps account for its character. The story line involves the hapless amateur coach Dax (Lil Rel Howery), who has his team usurped by a childhood rival (Nick Kroll, laying on a lot of “in your face” schtick that’s more annoying than he might have intended). He’s told to find the aged court legend “Uncle Drew,” here fleshed out to feel like a homage to the real-life street-ball legend Earl Manigault. Mr. Irving’s crusty codger insists on filling the roster with back-in-the-day teammates played by Mr. O’Neal, Reggie Miller, Chris Webber and Nate Robinson. The old-age makeup applied to these performers is — and I suppose this was entirely deliberate — unrealistic. The outlandish hairpieces and facial prosthetics produce an effect somewhere between TV sketch comedy and Kabuki theater. As conventionally unconvincing as the enterprise has to be, the movie tries to tug at the heartstrings with its suggestion that in these old men Dax has found a new family. At the same time, possibly because of the soft-drink-company sponsorship, “Uncle Drew” has a bland undertaste. The comic dynamo Tiffany Haddish, as Dax’s mercenary ex-girlfriend, seems tame here. Through it all, though, Mr. O’Neal, playing a martial-arts instructor harboring an old grudge against the title character, quietly but steadily builds the most complete characterization in the movie. It turns out, he’s learned an acting trick or two since the ghastly “Kazaam.” - Glen Kenny, New York Times Public Opinion "There's nothing redeeming about this movie. It's rarely funny, horribly scripted and if what you came to see is some awesome basketball being played, even that is directed with such pedestrian flair, that it took me out of the movie.
