Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Official Movie Thread
« on: January 7, 2010, 01:34 PM »
So I guess I didn't realize that a film's box office tally counts towards the year it was released in and not in which it was made.  So, apparently, Avatar could end up being the #1 film for 2009 if it beats $402M (which it's most likely to do)?  Is that right? 

   E...

Doesn't that depend on who is tallying the results?  Is there a single resource that officially states box office results? If there are multiple resources, then I Guess they can decide how they want to report it.  Personally, I think it makes sense to tie it to the year of release rather than splitting it across two years.

For me it would definitely be the B-A-D parts as #1.

My second choice would be the stands since you all too frequently need a stand to display a figure. I think all the CW figs should be coming with stands to compensate for their needle-thin limbs.

I forgot about the figure stands.  I would rate those second behind the BAD piece.  No real interest in anything outside of these two though.

I'd vote BAD as #1.  I could honestly care less about any of the others.

Picked up a minty loose, complete Chief Chirpa over the weekend to replace my worn and loose-limbed childhood version.

Ebay or local?  We still have to get over to that shop up North you mentioned.  Nice addition to the vinty collection Jay!

1 a week!  I was doing 1 a month last year (sometimes cheating a little).  This year I won't be doing as much this year as I thought, since I just spent $25 of my vintage budget this year on my holy grail... a vinyl cape Jawa!  Pics to come.   ;D

You just bought a vinyl cape Jawa for $25?  That's one heck of a deal if it's real!

Major Panno/Neyo Trooper

Probably could have done without ... but they were hard to pass up at that price.

 >:(

You wound me Dressell - I wanted Panno, but had no need for the extra Neyo trooper as I bought a bunch of the Legends ones.   ;)

This needed a bump because I can't stand these new Verizon/AT&T commercials fighting over maps. The worst ones are the AT&T ones with Luke Wilson portraying Affable Luke Wilson. But Verizon's are just as lame.

Another "favorite" of mine is the new one with the chick who claims to have lost weight eating at TACO BELL. Jared Fogle and Subway it ain't.

I'm with you - both of those are annoying as all get out.  The TB in particular is such a ridiculous rip off of Subway.  Of course you'd lose weight eating more at Taco Bell - the stuff is impossible to digest.

Are you going to use the Emperor for a custom or just going to display a second one differently?

I have two already; one displayed with the cane and the other displayed with the lightning in his hands.  I was planning on using this one strictly for the lightning.  I've wanted to have a Series 9 Dooku with lightning since it was released.  If you need the figure, let me know...

Thanks for the offer, but I'm strapped for space as it is.  I redid my display over the weekend and used up every single box (and still haven't unpacked the Rebo band).   :-\

I have barely skimmed you two's stuff here, but you're on crack Justin if you think T-Jack was a small drop from Favre.

That's the problem with skimming.   ;)  I'm saying it's less of a drop than some of the other MVP candidates, as evidenced last week.  The Vikings have a lot more talent to rely on than most teams.  While T-Jack would make the offense less effective, they'd probably still win most of their games this year.  I just think losing Chris Johnson or Peyton Manning would have a much bigger impact on their respective teams. 

That's my opinion - maybe others believe the Vikings have no talent and Favre is the only reason they're playoff bound.

Yeah, some scanning tech freebies would really be nice.  I passed on the three Legends bonus packs I found - even at BOGO I can't find any use for them.  I nabbed six sets in all:

Slave Leia/Jedi Luke
Giran/Ewok 2pk
Nikto Gunner/Ugnaught
ARC Trooper/Nein Nunb
Major Panno/Neyo Trooper
Rancor Keeper/Scuba Trooper

Probably could have done without the last two, but they were hard to pass up at that price.

Wow, you're an angry elf.  With an obvious hard on for Favre.  Do you even read what you write? 

MVP often goes to the guy who's most important to his team, not the guy with the best numbers. 

Based on your definition, Chris Johnson is a hell of a lot more important to his team than Favre is to the Vikings.  We saw what a T-Jack led team could do against the Giants just last week - looked no different from Favre to me.  You seriously think the drop to a T-Jack lead Vikings is worse than Curtis Painter running the Colts offense?  And while an 8-8 finish isn't stellar, I'm doubting the Titans would be anywhere near a single win this year with L. White at RB.  I'd quote stats, but I know you have no use for facts or numbers.  That is nice that you found 5 or 6 articles about Favre on the internet though - that's really compelling.

Here's another point, you know the league wants Green Bay / Minny in the NFCC and they definitely want Favre back in the big game.  Look for the Vikings to get all the calls.

Look for the Vikes to get all the calls on their bye week?  Do you mean look for the Packers to get all the calls since they're playing at least one game before a potential rematch?   ???  Damnit Rob, think through the post then write the post.


Are you ******* retarded?  Seriously?
Never mind... Dumb question...

You're right, that is a dumb question.  Just look around next time you hop on the short bus and you'll notice I'm not there with you. 

You said look for the Vikes to get all the calls because the league wants a Packers/Vikings rematch.  If that's the case, then we ought to expect the calls to all be in favor of the Packers to help get them there.  See how I link the cause and effect?  Now you try it.  I hope they do meet up again as I'd love to see the rematch even at the dome.

at age 40, wearing purple, and if they meet in the playoffs, he'll make the Packers Rob his bitch for the third time this year.

Sounds to me like you should replace "Packers" in that sentence with "Rob" in your little fantasy there.  :o

Wow, most of the stores I've been stopping by still have a complete set or two.  I haven't noticed any of them selling better than the rest - seems like they're all sitting.

I notice the same.  Makes you wonder why these didn't make it to clearance with everything else.

In the voice of Yoda: "Oh they willl.  They willllll!"

Had my 3PO/R2 Kubrick and Vader/Stormie Be@rbrick sets delivered today.  Also picked up an extra Series 4 Emperor.

Are you going to use the Emperor for a custom or just going to display a second one differently?

I've been looking at the Bearbricks hear and there, but honestly I don't see the appeal on those guys.
