    Death Pool Update: Linda Lavin at 87...

    My first job was in a diner that was nearly identical to Mel's, except with a view of a lake and on my first day all my expectations of it were based on her TV show. RIP

    Lincoln Lawyer...anyone watch.

    There were more serious ones, like A Time to Kill, but The Rainmaker was my favorite Grisham by a mile. There were parts of that book, finding the bugs in the office and using them against the defense, that literally had me laughing out loud, near tears to be honest. I just checked out his Wiki and realized I haven't read any of his books in years, any recommendations since say 2000?

    You have to fight the urge though, don't you.

    And I have no issues with that, as long as the people who don't want them are doing what they can to be healthy and preventing the spread of diseases. I respect peoples right to be cautious about what they put in their body. I hope they will respect and understand my circumstances and do what they can to not infect me with something that might have been preventable.

    Vaccines work

    About 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I pretty much only breathe through my nose, so if I get anything that stuffs up my nose, my sleep is interrupted around 45 times an hour. I get the flu, which for most means a week of being sick and sleeping, for me means a week of being sick and not sleeping. It takes me 20 to 40% longer to recover from illnesses like that, just from the exhaustion. So yeah, I take every vaccine that comes down the pipe that raises my odds of not getting sick.

    Jet crash in South Korea - yikes!

    Glad I checked the thread before posting, just saw this and they seem solid theories at this stage of the investigation.
  9. @TimHauckI have no clue what argument is about, but just wanted to chime in that ESAC is pretty much on point about breaking down the box office numbers and profits. The only one I have read differently is In the US they claim almost 90-95% of the box office. It's really hard to know US numbers because the percentage that they get can depend on the movie and week of release. For instance, for the first two weeks of Avengers Endgame, the studio might get 90% of the receipts with the theater making their money on concessions. After 2 weeks, the percent will often slide more to the theater. This is why for studios, that opening weekend and first 2 weeks are so important for the studios and why the will market their movies so much. That's why figuring out what makes a movie profitable, the multiplier is such a large range 2-2.5x. I'm assuming that ESAC probably just wasn't aware of the sliding percentage and only knew of the initial cuts studios can get on their big tent pole pictures. There is so much more though, especially when it comes to studio accounting. Take this quote: If you read the entire article, you will see that the studios have claimed to lost money on Harry Potter/Phoenix and Bohemian Rhapsody, both of which brought in over 900 million---the mob wishes it had studio accountants doing their books.

    Basically, lawyer gets case that is more than it seems. If you read the book, I think this actor makes a better Haller than MM did---but that might just be more time for character development.

    Jeez, how horrible, those poor people slid across that runway for nearly 20 seconds---I don't even want to imagine that.

    Oh wow, I totally missed that the third season came out. And if Becki Newton showed her bewbs, my rating would be way higher than 10/10.
  14. Yes, but it depends on the studio and the strategy. From what I've seen and read the Far East markets often get the movies last. That is because of a combination of tougher censorship, changing CGI/animation, graphics and language considerations. But it's not a hard and fast rule.

    Corey Feldman makes 288k a month. :o

    Corey Feldman makes me sick. To paraphrase the father from Walk Hard, 'the wrong Corey died'.

    Caleb Williams is the real deal.

    In the 104 year history of the Green Bay Packers, their longest losing streak has been 9 games. It only took Caleb Williams 16 weeks to top that record!
  21. There have been a ton of articles on the marketing of this movie, precisely because the partners have ponied up nearly $350M in advertising. So it's possible that I just didn't find the article, or the article was edited/updated to correct the mistake that they said Universal was footing that entire bill. I'm not accusing him of lying if he was misinformed-just correcting what looks to be an incorrect post.
  22. I can't find any article with that quote, Universal is not paying $350M to market the movie. From Deadline article: There are 450 promotional partners(tie-ins) that are footing a major part of the marketing bill for Wicked. Wherever you read that originally, completely misinterpreted where the marketing dollars came from. Also, there was no need for the studio to pay massive for marketing this movie, it was based a famous musical---it was pre-marketed. I'd guess just based on deals with partners this movie was nearly payed for before they sold a single ticket.

    I love car go-fast movies and I turned that crap off after 30 minutes, so stupid. Only remembered it because it had Jessie from Breaking Bad.
