  1. This is some what a big letdown for me.
  2. Yea I saw it last night 3rd time. Still great. I find myself at work walking in during the film all the time this past weekend.
  3. I thought Paul was good as well. Yous didn't even appreciate Cruise's great performance?
  4. The Mexican bar back was funny as well. When Drew had his back turned to him and he turned around and said "Jesus" the bar back said "No Chico, Jesus was my brother". Very funny as well.
  5. That's what made it awesome. It was random as hell.
  6. The Alec and Russell "can't fight this feeling anymore" scene was awesome, very funny. The sex scene was funny as well. Just a great film and great time at the theatre.
  7. It is the fun-est film that has come out this year (not the best). Tom Cruise is great, really really great. The songs where all done well.9/10
  8. I thought it was pretty scary overall and agree with baumer about caring for the characters. However I did not like it as much as baumer.7/10
  9. Before the summer began I would've said this would've been a big bomb but due to no kids films being out since March I think this could be a nice size hit. I want to say 58 opening weekend.
  10. This is a pleasant surprise that could have been terrible. Josh Brolin is great.7.5/10
  11. Some good moments, some bad. This was just okay.6/10
  12. I pretty much agree spot on. Bad first 10 minutes, fun the rest of the time. 7/10

So if you think Battleship will have a 220% increase Friday and a 75% increase Saturday, you would put 295% as your answer.

PLAYERS: There may be more preseason bonus questions added before the start of the game. It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right. Bonus Question of all Bonus Questions: This is a four parter: 1) Will TDKR make at least 500 million domestically? YES 2) Will TDKR make more than 580 million internationally? YES 3) Will TDKR do at least 40 million for midnights? NO 4)) Will TDKR make at least 1.1 billion WW? YES Scoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. You can go for as many as you like. Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points. There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. *** Even more bonus and more treachery: If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus) However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 15,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points. This question is worth a lot of points for those ballsy enough to go for all 4, but it will kick your ass if you get too cocky. Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want. It's totally up to you. You can choose to go for as many or as little as you want. ***CAVEAT*** If you choose to abstain from all 4, you will get 5000 for doing so. You must tell me if you are abstaining. NEW QUESTION: This is a four part question. Again, you have choices. Choice A, answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours. 17) A) Will any film listed as a horror film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? Yes Will any film listed as a horror film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 32.5 mill? Yes C) Will any film listed as a horror film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 43%? Yes D) Will any film listed as a horror film by boxofficemojo.com have an opening day of more than 10 mill? Yes Get any question right: 7000 Get any question wrong: -7000 Abstain from all four questions: 5000 Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonus Spur of the Moment 1: page 14 Here is the link to the game:
  17. What a bore-fest with bad acting. I feel bad for John.3/10
  18. I thought it was a really good action flick. One of my favorites with Statham. Some great fight scenes.7/10
  19. I agree with all of those.I also always feel really bad whenever Mr. Andrews is on screen.He is such a good guy and to see him give up in the dinning room and telling Rose sorry that he could not build her a stronger ship and wishing them luck is VERY SAD.Also when Captain Smith does not having a answer for the lady and baby then walking into the room is also a very sad moment. .
  20. Love the report Andy.Just saw it in 3D and it still one of the best films to watch in theatres even after 14 years. Love this film.
  21. Love that number for 21 Jump Street. Awesome
