Ahhh.... the god of thunder and other things has arrived.
We shall see where his heart lies.... providing us with numbers or dwelling in the muck of the real world.

However I did put on Tron Legacy to listen to a little Daft Punk and I'll stare at Quorra a little
Every time I watch this movie I get pissed on how they screwed it up.
The music is amazing.
The visuals are amazing.
The back story with the website and the Flynn lives clips was great.
The story was ok.
Some of the dialog and acting... and perhaps editing ruined it.

Cute and fat... 1 out of 2 isn't too bad.
Stick a laptop on the couch arm and you've nailed me.

Wait, what?
Awe, you wanted to ask me out?
You're sweet, Andy.
Hmm... at my advanced age I've become resigned to the fact that my social life consists of lusting after Disney Animated Princesses.

Geeze. At first I thought she was trying to pepper spray me.
I've been rejected before but not that harshly....
lately
Frozen is required viewing at this point.

Oh, I forgot to say, I saw Smaug. To my surprise, I enjoyed it. I thought it was good. I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
I want to see CF again though, and I need to see Frozen.
Someone should take me on a date.
Now that's the kinda of hint we like to see. Take notes k1stpierre.

Depending on what is distracting him, perhaps he doesn't need a cold shower.
Shawn might have to ban him from other forums.
How are we gonna get our nightly numbers fix if he's off having to think about baseball every night...

So is there an estimate for the Thursday number?
Rth is too distracted the last couple of days.
Someone needs to put him in a cold shower to get him back on track.

In recent years, Hollywood movie titles have gotten increasingly long and ugly, distending into random jumbles of pointless clauses and punctuation.

Disney's making up for it... including the Logo.

Just watched The Lone Ranger.
Some good parts... a lotta bad parts.
Could of been much better.
I like John Carter over it.

No, Fishnets went into every thread saying The Hobbit sucked. I'm staying in a single thread discussing my dislike for Iron Man 3, including a valid opinion on it.
7+ times in one thread in a half hour is excessive... I assume that's what Shawn is getting tired of.
It happens all the time between fanboys and while most people do it in good fun there are plenty of times it gets over the top.
However the ignore button is probably a better option then reporting every post you don't like.

The world will end if 300 M doesn't happen.

I'm surprised Frozen had close to the same number of theaters compared to Hobbit.
At my local AMC 24 last Saturday Frozen only had 3 theaters ( only three 3d showings)... compared to 8-10 for the Hobbit.

Gravity had a couple... the destruction of the ISS and Stone releasing Kowalski
Thor - all about Frigga... the fight, the funeral, Loki's reaction
Perhaps because its still fresh in my mind...
What made Frozen so great to me was the non-stop emotional roller coaster scenes throughout the film. I don't get choked up to often in movies but I did several times in Frozen:
The 'do you wanna build a snowman' scene... especially at the end with each of them sitting against the door.
The villain revel...
such a cruel line uttered in a Disney movie by someone that was not a villain
. Hearing gasps from 700 people at once in a theater is something I've never experienced before.
The final act of true love. I may be dumb but I didn't see it coming and I didn't know where it was going from there. I've never heard a theater so quiet for so long.
And of course... the Let it Go scene. Great lyrics, great music, great visuals, great transformation of the character.

Oh and also time for some classic film theory:
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - 107M
Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas - 27M
Hours - 17M
We actually looked at the grosses of AUJ and whatever the last Madea movie was before predicting. Everyone except me said a Hobbit increase up to at least 96M. Also, I made a $5 bet with someone that Hours would not be released in more than 1000 theaters. They were insisting anything less than 2000 theaters would be intense disrespect for Paul Walker.... Whatevs, they just paid for a movie for me
Nikki is the instructor?

I don't think Disney is really pushing any song from Frozen besides Let It Go for the awards season. But if there will indeed be a 2nd song nominated from the film, it'll be For the First Time in Forever.
Since they released the full clip of the scene from the movie they are really pushing it.

OMG when did Rth change his profile pic?
Rth... thunder god of the boxofficce?
Most people believe that Rth has the skill/knack to produce accurate box office numbers.
In reality he Commands the numbers to be what they are.
Suck up to him if you want your movie to do well...

Yes, I heard that, but that doesn't explain why those portals seemed to open and close at will.
It's really not that big a deal, but it contributed to the indifferent attitude the rest of the film carried.
Jane and the Dr were opening and closing them... which was worst.

Jarvis actually.
Jarvis is an extension of Stark. It represents the practical/analytical side of him.
The robot dummy is a representation of the emotional/unthinking side of stark.
Stark character itself flows back and forth between the two in the movies.
Jarvis starts to fail after the attack because his whole identity and ability to protect Pepper was tied to his suits and the technology he created which were destroyed.
The kid, of course, is the roots/origin of Stark. Unblemished and idealistic but still with starks personalty edge.
Through the kid Stark realizes his identity is not the technology (suits) he created but instead his ability to create them.
After he realizes that Jarvis is whole again and the suits become tools he uses in the final battle instead of being his identity.
It is interesting that in the final scene the only thing he salvaged from his house was Dummy.
Even though I've seen it 3 times... for the life of me I can't remember if Jarvis survived.
One of the signs of a great movie is if in-depth character representations like this are 'felt' by the audience and not shoved down our throats.

If something seemed missing why did it garner an A rating from you?
Missing doesn't always mean bad.... just not what I was expecting. ( I felt the same way about Skyfall)
I'm going to go see it again which means it was an A.
My wife liked it better then the Avengers which we saw 4 times ( including tonight ) in the theaters.

Iron Man Marathon ( IM 1-3 and the avengers ) - Last 2 were in 3D.
AMC 24 Highlands Ranch, CO
They sold 170 out of the 300
Trailers ( there were only trailers in front of IM3)
Thor
Wolverine
Cheering and clapping at the beginning and end of both trailers as would be expected for Marvel trailers at a Marvel Marathon
A long 12 hours at the theater but it was easier to do then I thought it would be.
Crowd seemed to love IM3. So did I but I'm not sure how much. Something seemed missing... or off. Maybe it just wasn't what I was expected. We'll likely see it again in a week.

Outstanding movie. We'll see it again.A little slow at the beginning as each main characters assemble then it picked up.My 10 year old son actually sat forward in his chair 2-3 times which I've never seen him do before.
Jack Frost's story was the plot... the boogeyman was the vehicle to tell it.Something I did not like was emo Jack Frost's subplot.
Wednesday #s: ANCHORMAN 2 8.1M/ It's in a glass case of emotion / Hobbit (4.855m) / CF (1.243m)
