Also, the gruesome-looking Polar Express was a big box-office disapopintment:
Christmas classic, my ass!
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

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

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.
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.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
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....

Art Crawl!!!
It bombed?
Good -- I thought it was soooo creepy looking. (However, I was at lunch on Saturday and two of us thought it looked creepy, two of us wanted to see it and one of us hadn't heard of it.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It bombed?
Not entirely. It's getting freakass mixed reviews which claim it to be either "A New Holiday Classic" or "The Freakiest Thing Since Meet The Feebles." But it cost $120 mil, so it's got to do huge business to make money. And it only pulled $30 mil or so for opening weekend.

But it cost $120 mil,
MSNBC says it cost "a reported $170 million."
Hee.
eta: Yahoo says "reportedly cost $270 million to make and market."
Double-hee.
