I just read that SoaP only made $6 million yesterday, and will probably only clear $15m this weekend. Ouch.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

On the other hand, it's ahead of everything else for the weekend.

I have too much of a phobia to ever see it. I'd be a bigger show than SLJ.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think SoaP's BO performance will be a marathon, rather than a sprint. I still look for it to make a profit.
erika, DH is as phobic as you, I think. Maybe I can get him drunk and get him to go see it.

I watched most of it through my fingers, but the parts I did see were so funny. All the movie cliches were used so well.

I really wanted to see SoaP today, but my dad chose World Trade Center. It was better than I expected. No political message to speak of, but pretty gut wrenching at times. I could hear my dad sniffling, which he never does.

My dad cries at EVERYTHING. Everything with any kind of vague emotional bit. He cries when he took me and my friends to see Cool Runnings when we were kids. He cries at Coronation Street. He cries at documentaries where there's hardship. He cries every time he makes a speech. He cries when he watches Daytime Movie type things. ESPECIALLY when there's Daytime movie type things.

I've only seen my dad cry three times in my life. So the fact he even sniffled is huge. I just suffered from allergies with a few eye leaks and sniffled a lot. Good thing I got a huge wad of napkins for my popcorn.

That is why "Freedomland" is on my netflix queue rather than a theater choice...was pretty sure I'd cry.

I remember my dad crying at some kind of 'animals finding their way home' story when I was a kid, and knowing then that he was less cool than I was. Maybe Homeward Bound ? Was that about animals?
