[Weekend Estimates pg 14: EX2: 13.5(-52.5%) Bourne 9.5 (.44%), no opener in top 5]

Well, Premium Rush opened above my $5M prediction, so...congratulations?

[Alphas]

I've begun watching this show on a regular basis. The characters are fascinating, and the writing is very thoughtful. A lot of effort is spent examining how the various abilities impact the personal lives of the alphas.

[Dexter]

Other than John Lithgow's portrayal of Trinity, and this:

Dexter has been pretty lousy for a long time. This was a three season concept, not a seven season concept.

[True Blood]

This show has gone full retard over the past couple seasons. If not for Pam, and the occasional WTF moment, it would be unbearable.

[The Pixar Club]

IMO, Pixar should lighten its production schedule and spend more time on story development. I realize Disney wants to milk that cash cow every year, but at this point they are just diluting the brand. Pixar should release a high-quality product every two or three years, in order to recapture the mystique and true event status each film once possessed.

[The Expendables 2]

I would've told Chuck to go fuck himself.

And then he would have hit you with so many rights you would have begged for a left.

[Dredd (September 21, 2012)]

YOU BETRAYED THE LAW! We better have a hilarious moment like this.

Also, the camera must linger on Dredd's codpiece.

[Favorite Trilogy (or group of three films)]

I choose none of the above. Die Hard FTW!(I like to pretend the fourth film never happened.)

[The Expendables 2]

I thought the majority of the film was lazy and brain dead, but there were some inspired action sequences, and JCVD and Chuck Norris completely owned every second in which they appeared on screen.

[Tuesday (8/21/12) Numbers]

Nice for TE2. I'm off to see it in an hour or so.

[Dredd (September 21, 2012)]

Looks like the marketing campaign is ramping up:

Huh. This is so random my brain refuses to deal with it.

[LOL, Shia LaBeouf 'done' with big-budget movies. Punk or Cool?]

Shia LaDouche is a clown. Fuck him in the ear.
