I always just figured the number increased as they got more popular

 

Would need to increase a helluva lot in 5 years.

Plus, you saw him playing at a wedding, so he wasn't just doing that gig.

Well, it is John Legend, so he's probably making bank.

Sister's wedding...

I didn't realize that.  

 

Anyways, from what I understood about the numbers the 1000 a week was before the band was popular.  I'd assume it'd go much higher when they started pulling crowds and got popular.  Especially since I'd figure their popularity likely grew over those 5 years. (They were pulling near 1m views before the tour even, for a new promo video.  That's quite a bit for a new band.  I figure with another few years his income would have risen dramatically.)

Certainly not impossible

Literally who gives a shit about whether or not the money shit adds up? What a pointless thing to complain about

I'm more about how Sebastian actually got a really good deal and he's still moping around.

You're right, there's a lot more to complain about.

Of all the contenders I thought Tele would make his sworn enemy this year, I had no idea it would be this.

To be fair, you haven't seen Hidden Fences yet (either movie) and I'm sure you won't like either (especially the latter, which is more or less a filmed version of a stage show), so...

I might be able to see both soon. I don't necessarily mind stage-ish stuff if the acting and story are compelling, so we'll see. But I doubt I'll feel the same annoyance.

Tele, WHAT is your problem, man?? The film looks dope - what more do you want?!!

If you found the Gosling and Stone characters to be unsympathetic in this, I don't think I want to know what you'll think of the Denzel character in Fences.

Cineplex is really tempting me to see LLL again this weekend. They sent me emails offering a bonus 300 SCENE points to see LLL  this weekend and they are also offering all movies for half the normal SCENE points on Monday, Jan. 16 (regular movies usually cost 1000 SCENE points for a free movie, on Monday it will be 500, VIP 19+ is normally  2000 points, Monday will be 1000).

Very tempting.

Actually, now that I think about it, this has a lot in common with the revenant.

 

Tele is now bringing live ammo to this debate

The difference is that Troy in Fences is supposed to be somewhat unlikeable and unsympathetic.

I don't know how anyone couldn't root for Emma in this. Her in this movie might be the most adorable thing since Amy Adams in Enchanted IMO.
