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.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
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.

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

Oh, they're never going to recoup that. Slow opening weekends can be overcome by a sleeper hit, but I don't think there's ever been a $270 million sleeper hit. Maybe My Big Fat Greek Wedding, once you factor in foreign grosses, but it made its money over more than a year and the word of mouth wasn't of the "it's the eeriest thing you've ever seen!" variety.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just saw a commercial for the Uncanny Valley Creeptastic Polar Express -- playing at the IMAX theater. I think they're desperate.
ION, if Sideways and Kinsey don't get their asses here soon, I'm going to shake my fist in a reproving manner in the general direction of Hollywood.
t edit Okay, Hollywood is partially safe from the wrath of my fist-shake. Sideways opens Friday.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Steph, you're not getting Kinsey?
We had a disply up for it at the theater here in Lancaster. I was surprised, actually.

I imagine we'll get it, but as of now, it's not listed in the "Coming Soon" section of my theatre's website (the indie theatre in my neighborhood is the most likely to show it). And I'd bet good money that it only runs for a week.

Pete is just as enthralled with the movie. He thinks it's the best adventure movie ever made.
And yes, Aimée and MM should go as Bob & Helen next Halloween, with Emma (who will be born on November 17th, trust me) as Jack-Jack.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I hear Brad Bird, the writer-director of The Incredibles, also provided the voice for Edna? Can I marry him? Pretty please?
