Be that as it may, pray tell what pop culture impact R1 will be imprinting eh? 

 

We're talking pop-culture now? I thought we were talking box-office. 

 

In terms of pop-culture, it's a SW movie. Even the lesser of them still have significant cultural impact.

Just got back from a 4 p.m. West Coast show a bit ago. Some funny stuff from this screening. First, was lucky to find a spare open seat as the entire upper section (the good half) of the theater was full spare 3 seats. I nabbed a pretty solid single one. By the time the movie started it looked just like my 1 p.m. Friday showing, pretty much full except some garbage front row seats. This was in IMAX 3D at $18.50 a ticket so I'm sure the theater was happy. Of course, as expected, nobody knew how to ring up my Ultimate Ticket (this is the first time I used it, I pre-bought my first two tickets for Thursday and Friday). They finally called a manager and he did it, because of course someone has to know, but the lady said she's been working there for 18 months and has yet to see one ever. Figures. I mean with only 1,000 nationwide, that's not too many for any given movie and they only do it a few times a year.

 

Before the movie, they had the Transformers trailer as usual. Someone yelled, "BORING!!!" and he got a handful of people applauding while everyone else laughed. Yeaaahhh... not a good sign. 

 

When I left the movie, besides the usual applause, I was walking to my car and there was a family in front of me who had just seen it. Kids maybe 7 and 9? Looked about that age. The younger one said, "Spoiler spoiler spoiler it was good but spoiler spoiler spoiler," and you can figure out the spoilers yourself. The basic point: He was bummed it was such a dark movie. The family kept talking about it, agreeing it had to be dark, but the son still wished it could have been less dark. I'm not surprised by that reaction among kids. It sounded like they enjoyed the film, at least. The way this kid put what he was saying cracked me up, though, definitely something I said to my GF after I saw it too. In my case, not in a bad way.

 

Weather was clear today in Portland, very cold, but clear. No warm up quite yet. Yesterday I didn't see the movie because of icy roads and snow flurries, small though they were. Today it was just cold, low 30s, but they are saying it'll warm up tonight and this week... except possible overnight snow a few nights, but day time highs seem well high enough to keep the weather at bay. The roads were fine today, all main roads anyway. Taking one back road, my Camaro slipped even going only 22 and it slid a bit to the side, but no big deal, that has happened every time I've driven the last 4 days. Just one little slip. I don't think it's keeping many people home, frankly.

 

I have nothing at all to compare to from yesterday unfortunately, which is a bummer, but the theater was much busier today than it was Thursday night for previews or Friday afternoon. That doesn't surprise me, though, it's a weekend. I would expect that. Some people were probably seeing other movies, too, whereas Thursday night everyone was kind of going to the same thing.

 

CONFIRMED KIDS HATE IT. UNDER 3X MULTIPLIER. TOO DARK. NOT AN EVENT

You do realize I hope something like this totally happens, right?

 

The twist ending for the season will be that Negan will kidnap Maggie, brainwash her into loving him, and escape into a transdimensional portal.

 

He gets rich, they marry, have a son, and then this happens

You should've drowning yourself in the wisdom of the late Zsa Zsa Gabor instead.


"I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man, I keep his house."
 

lmao that's one of the quotes that's been going around since the news broke of her death. Woman was definitely a character.

 

In David Niven's wonderful Bring on the Empty Horses there was a fantastic story - a Christmas one at that - about Zsa Zsa an George Sanders. 

 

Quote

Late at night on Christmas Eve, wearing dirty blue jeans, a sweatshirt and a beard, accompanied by two detectives and carrying a brick that he had carefully gift-wrapped, [George] stealthily crossed the lawn of Zsa Zsa's house and placed a ladder against the wall. Followed by the detectives, he then climbed to the balcony outside her window. All was silent and dark inside when abruptly he shattered the glass with the brick, opened the catch, stepped into the room, turned on the light and, holding out his gift package, said "Merry Christmas, my dear!" Zsa Zsa's companion sprang up and rushed into the bathroom--too late, for the detectives had got their incriminating photos before the sleepers could realize what was happening.

Zsa Zsa behaved with perfect aplomb. Smiling and putting a lacy dressing gown, she said, "George darling! How lovely to see you! You are just in time to get your Christmas present, which is under the tree. Let's go down and have a glass of champagne and I will give it to you." She led the way downstairs, laughing gaily, gave George his present, gift-wrapped, and poured champagne for the detectives, who were enchanted with her. Indeed a good time seems to have been had by all on that festive occasion, except by the gentleman in the bathroom.

When the impending divorce was announced, their statements to the press were brief and typical. "George is a wonderful man and I shall always love him," said Zsa Zsa. "I have been cast aside like a squeezed lemon," said George.

 

Pure class!

By the way:  Over/under on:

 

Thread bans

 

and 

 

Forum bans (for posting spoilers)

 

from this thread.

 

I'll set the over/under on Thread Bans at 0.5  and Forum Bans at 1.5

 

Get you guesses in folks. :)

 

Checking the leaderboard (ie the Real World Section):

 

Thread Bans (as a result of this thread)

0

 

Forum Bans (for posting spoilers)

0

 

Oh, I know there's a forum ban from this thread, but it wasn't from posting spoilers and it wasn't a thread ban. :P

 

===

 

Even if that Forum Ban counts, we're still under on both. ;)
