Nov 22-24 #s CF: $158,074,286 actual | Dark Knight triumphant after all

[Kvikk Lunsj]

You're so dedicated. Thank you E.

Yes she is. She been wonderful. I gave up on the twin cities. 

[druv10]

You're welcome Druv10.  Do you go to one of those?

 

I go to Edwards MarqE because it has legit IMAX. 

[Biggestgeekever]

Seattle seems to be doing better than yesterday; more sellouts, and they're happening sooner. I'm hopeful for dat $50+m!

 

I'm off to see this beast on IMAX, so good luck to everyone in the rest of tonight's off-topic bullshit.

The naked dwarf scene sounds horrifying.

[narniadis]

That would have required Gosling to act. Simply looking around aimlessly while standing or sitting is not acting.

 

I thought that was his normal range....

[CJohn]

I am out. Good night everyone!

i'm going to bed now though , i have this thing in the morning at 5am i let a friend talk me into doing a walkathon , have to try and get at least 5 hrs of sleep i guess i figured after 4 months doing jilian michaels dvd , losing some weight i must be in shape and more fit than before , i'm sure i can walk for 3 hrs more or less

A walkathon? Is that even a thing?I've bee doing this new thing called uh yogging. Apparently you just run for an extended period of time, it's suppose to be a blast.

One other thing that bugs me about Hobbit 1 is that they leave most of Shore's Radagast theme from the soundtrack on the cutting floor in the film. You only get an abbreviated soft motif a few times.

 

Radagast says "I will lead them away" and then keeps going in circles around the dwarves. How was that leading the dogs away?

 

P.S.: Till you mentioned him, I had completely blocked Radagast from memory and the movie in my mind was much better for it   He is almost a Jar-Jar Binksy character in this movie. Loved by no one, serves no purposes and irritates every time he is on screen.

It's basically a 5-second long-distance shot of them (all of them obviously CGI) cavorting naked in a fountain, so it's more of a "Wait...WTF was that?"

OF ALL TIME.

 

I actually didn't notice Kanye in the picture for a second there lol

[Heretic]

I wish I could be excited for DoS, but I'm just not. At all.

[Captain Craig]

Everyone does remember how overstated both TBMN and TDW were last week right? 

I expect CF to drop back to about 68m with actuals.

TBMH was only 500K or so. TDW was overestimated 2.1M

that 70m number does seem suspect. Though it is possible LionsGate added the money themselves

Nothing wrong with cheating.  Lionsgate just needs know how to cheat. Not pull a PR shit.

Still, the visual in my head is making me sick.

Yeah. My biggest issue is simply that the movie mirrored FotR too much for Shore to be able to do much new with the movie. I still like certain elements, but I hope that changes with DoS. It really should.

[4815162342]

I did like the Azog/his henchmen motifs. They had the same foundation as the Mordor/Isengard themes but managed their own unique identity.

I am suing Peter Jackson. I was known as DoS. Stupid Hobbit is taking my aberration name.
