Even Nolan couldn't have come up with this plot.

I'm sorry.

I would rather watch Jurassic World on repeat for like 3 hours then to sit through that other movie again that starts with an H I mentioned a few pages back....

I seriously think you're guys "Civil War" joke was more coherent then what I watched there.

Okay for real, now I'll stop lol.

That's cause it's inspired by Marvel's Civil War. Nolan ain't got nothing on that.

The Russos! So visionary!

Isn't it obvious? They were just doing a re-enactment of the new Captain America movie. Only with much less sexy people.

Oh come on, we all know even the most attractive person on this site can't compare to RDJ (who looks incredibles for someone in his fifth decade alive), much less hot young things like Chris Evans and Sebastian Stan.

Okay, guys, here's the whole un-varnished story.

 

CJohn was never banned. We've actually never banned anyone for the (rare) case of posting fake numbers. The closest we came before was when Noctis did a really good job of impersonating Rth -- the outcome from that is that Rth has his own special verified account so no one can ever do it again.

 

We decided to goof off and have some fun chasing an imaginary "second account" from CJohn, and yes, the upcoming CIVIL WAR inspired us to take sides as mods. If it got to be too much for anyone, we apologize. We were making sure any numbers that got announced were promptly updated in the thread title so that people could stay abreast of that even amidst the nonsense.

 

None of this was planned from start to finish. It was basically an improv all the way through.

 

We're going to put the remnants of the trainwreck in a thread in the Speakeasy if anyone who wasn't around wants to see what happened.

 

In the meantime, JUNGLE BOOK is looking strong today.

 

 

 

So my Prestige joke was actually pretty accurate?

 

Hail Nolan!

So everyone is staying in the same area in terms of Friday numbers. Might go up a bit, but using the numbers we currently have, that would give JB a 20.8M True Friday, it can increase 50% from that tomorrow, and drop 30% to give us

 

25

30

21

 

76M currently. A higher increase or drop can change things obviously.
