It flopped - monumentally so.
The estimated production budget was $80,000,000
The Opening Weekend gross was $917,398
The Domestic gross was $1,900,451
The worldwide gross was $7,214,275
It closed in October of 05', never played in more than 816 theaters simultaneously, and lost around 73 million dollars.

Hmmmm... I didn't have any mpeg4 stuff but iTunes converted all of my wma's into mp3's when I first tried to import it all. But I had to set it up to do that before I tried importing anything... I'm sure a quick google search for mpeg4 converter or something like that would net a few programs that you could use.

**** it - I hope they go for it and make it huge. And I hope Connery comes back and there are Nazis (although a 63 year old Indy would make more sense in the 60's with some Soviets to fight...) and monsters and lions and tigers and bears.
And I'll be there on opening night.

I left Shanahan on the bench to the tune of 3 points the other day when I completely wanted to start him...I thought I had but obviously hadn't - and one of my defensemen that I had every intention of playing had a two point night on a day that I forgot to make the switch.

Thanks DBB, but we need it to be a link from Rebelscum for it to fit in with the rest. 
By the way, did you or anyone else get that Oscar Winning Actress (who's name escapes me) who died yesterday or the day before?

« on: March 14, 2006, 06:00 PM »I also think you're confusing me with Rob who recently started getting into Cronenberg movies a few of months back, not that it matters or is relevant to why we like someone's work.
The only problem with that is that The Brood, Scanners, and The Fly have been some of my favorites since I was a little kid. I just filled in some gaps last year.
What a crock of ****. I'm not even going to counter that because I know it's untrue.
Dude, WTF are you talking about? Looking at your collection we find:
28 Days Later
50 First Dates
The 6th Day
Alien Vs. Predator
Airforce One
Airplane
Airplane 2
Alien Boxed Set
Almost Famous
American History X
Amityville Horror remake
Anchorman
Antitrust
Apollo 13
Assault on Precinct 13
The Austin Powers Boxed Set
Back to the Future Trilogy
Bandits
Batman
Batman Begins
Batman Returns
Beetlejuice
Black Hawk Down
Blade
Blade 2
The Bone Collector
Bourne Identity
Bourne Supremacy
A Bronx Tale
Butterly Effect
And that's just the A's and B's.
I've got tons of mainstream movies too, but to so vehemently deny that you're into mainstream movies is crap.
Not that anyone else here is capable of independent thought to see things my way.
Independent thought doesn't mean seeing things your way.

Are we pretty confident that that isn't a custom? It looks hands down better than the Evolutions Sandtrooper - which looked pretty freaking good in its own right.

It might not be the original one - sounds like there's a secondary audio edit in there somewhere...

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Taxes
« on: March 12, 2006, 11:54 PM »I'm self-employed. So no one pays half of my taxes, AND no one witholds any of it for me - so at the end of the year I'm paying.
Rob, please tell me you're filing as an S-Corp. If you're not, we need to talk. Seriously, it was the best thing I ever did in my business organization. I got my ass handed to me year one as a sole proprietor, but for the last four years I've come out way ahead being incorporated.
Looks like I missed this last year... Deanpaul, the reason I never incorporated myself (is that the same thing that you're talking about?) is because I never intended to stay freelance - and I didn't, I was hired full time last September. So this year I've got 8 months worth of freelance taxes to pay - and then I'm done with that shizz. Next year I'll be getting a big fat refund.

The best I've found so far is Circuit City - $14.99 for both History of Violence and Good night and Good Luck.

Nah, we're just not supposed to get political. It's tough for me sometimes.
