Harmony ,'Underneath'
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.
Scanning back for other PotC comments I noticed bon had said:
As if the parkour sequence in James Bond were at the end-- two hours in you're thinking come on, get to the big finish!
Honestly, if they'd put the parkour sequence in instead of the whole Bond falls in love thing, I'd have been much happier. I mean, as it was I wanted the big finish something awful, and what we were given wasn't the slightest bit interesting to me. Parkour would have been a huge upgrade.
I was once again thwarted in my intent to see Waitress, as the 4:30 and 7:30 screenings were sold out. Well, I would have been like ticket holder #498 in a 500 seat theater at the later one, so I opted out. But it does make me hopeful about the movie sticking around a few weeks.
Good to know that the movie has success. I wasn't bowled away by it, but I came out liking all the characters.
Waitress ended up 5th in the weekend's box office tally.

Wow, definitely showing all the signs of being a sleeper hit, especially given the blockbuster behemoths currently playing. Such a damn shame Adrienne Shelly isn't here to enjoy her success.
Wow. That is just excellent. But kind of foils my hopes for seeing Nathan Fillion elsewhere. (Specifically, in Lost next year as Kate's hubby. ) Alas.
Ooh, that also means that it may get a wider release and actually play in my town.
Talk about a "which thread does this go in" moment:
This is as good a place as any I guess, considering there is still no actual network attached for broadcast, and it started as a movie.
Check. It. [link]

Wow, it's only playing on one screen at the indie theater in Memphis, so I assumed there were about 100 prints nationwide. That's pretty damn impressive in a weekend when the Spider and Pirate sequels are sucking in all available moviegoers.
What's a standard second weekend dropoff for a big release? I mean, how low do you have to go for it to be considered a bad thing?
