Aaha. Thanks, Lee. I may have actually caught those words but didn't put together what they meant. I think I was busy thinking, like someone else upthread, about the similarities to Sky Captain.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Christ on a stick. The Incredibles made over $70 million its opening weekend. This past weekend? Over $50 million. Plus? Its gross is $144 million, which means it's made over $20 million on the weekdays. Man.

If I only had a brain...
Also, the gruesome-looking Polar Express was a big box-office disapopintment: it was outgrossed (as it were) by the second week-end of Incredibles.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wait a minute. Polar Express opened this last weekend?
Brave, but maybe not too bright.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
it was outgrossed (as it were) by the second week-end of Incredibles.
WOO HOO!
Although, the numbers I really want to see are the Incredibles vs Shark Tale ones. Because I want Shark Tale fucking crushed.

Anyone seen Incident at Loch Ness? It sounds fascinating.

So very glad to hear that Polar Express was a bomb, with the previews apparently being creeptastic enough to warn parents away before their children could be traumatized by UncannyValley!Hanks.

I so wanted that movie to bomb. I watched some intervew/making-of thingie and everyone was just full of themselves over the brilliant, beautiful movie they had made....
