Liked this a lot more than I thought I would. In fact liked it enough I might see it again. Emma and Emma are great. As a prequel to a classic I think they did a great job of being a Cruella origin story without pissing off fans of the original... an issue maleficent had. I enjoyed the tiebacks to the classic characters/events although I know some people think stuff like that is hokey. @dudalb ... it's ridiculous to try to judge box office these days to pre-pandemic movies. Disney will be happen to break even in theaters which they should and the gravy is in the D+ premium and new subscribers.

The technical issues were my server and not your router... at least in this case.

Yep. That's a different question.

For those still getting the security warning on some browsers. It's safe to go to 'Advanced' and continue on to the forums. The error is because Chrome thinks it should be https and it isn't always. The forums never access anything on your computer and do not request any sensitive information.

Yeah... my server crashed and seems to have corrupted itself. I have been working the last couple days to get everything back up and that has resulted in a couple of DNS changes that are having trouble fully propagating. Right now I can only see the forum on certain computers. Shawn is making a change today to direct forums.boxofficetheory.com straight here from GoDaddy and bypass my server completely which should be much more reliable.

After 6 or so years I've decided to step down from my Admin role on the forums. In 2020 I have found it hard to be on the forums enough to do a proper job of moderating and after much deliberation I decided it would be better if I stepped down. I'd like to personally and publicly thank @Shawn for the opportunities he has provided me. As someone who was not an active forum poster and pretty quiet in general it was a honor to be asked to join the staff. @Water Bottle you have always been supportive, especially when it came to my Derby requests and @Plain Old Tele - I modeled my moderation style after you. The forums lost a great resource when you stepped down from the staff. I won't attempt to mention all the members and staff that I've enjoyed interacting with over the years. It's been great. I just hope that some of the old-timers will return to posting more often. I do want to mention that the one thing I learned about moderating here is how important different views are in a social setting such as the BOT forums. I hope the forums continue to contain a diverse and tolerant attitude towards both movies and life in general. I'll still be around as much as I can so this is not goodbye and the Derby will continue to operate with @ChipDerby's help.

@John C-Nah has been thread banned for 42 hours.

For some reason I haven't had the concentration to watch a lot of movies even though I just signed up for HBO. Instead I've been doing a Dr Who rewatch.

When's the MCU Marathon?

You take over and even the numbers quit in protest.😐

It likely won't screw everything up. At worst we'll need to have a new game but no players so the weekly number is correct. I'll have to look at the code

@The Fast and the Furiosa won both January and February

After five years of running the Derby I decided it was time to bring on some help. @ChipMunky is now a 'Derby Moderator'. His duties will be helping me run the Derby game at https://derby.boxofficetheory.com/ and moderating the Derby forums. Looking forward to another 5 years of Derby. Andy

Chip... I always feel like you're hinting at something but can never figure it out....

Sorry. I always mean too but I am just getting crushed at work. However I'm committed to either being able to devote more time to the Derby or bring in some help by Summer.
