(Seriously, did someone get paid to "write" that "article"?)
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Did someone get paid to come up with ridiculous fucking axes to create useless "infographics"?

The number 29.4 is only a little bit bigger than the number 27.7 which is associated with the box office of a different movie everyone hated. Want to know more?
Who could resist a hook like that?

Also, let's not bother adjusting for inflation and ticket prices at all while we're at it.

Why you gotta complicate numbers, PC? Who do you hate?

Hey. New board.
That is a bad article. I just read the box office mojo article where they cribbed all their comparison choices too.

What do you all think of the boycott of the Orson Scott Card movie coming out in November?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Wow, did Buzzfeed buy Business Insider and nobody noticed?

I can't imagine enough people will actually boycott it to make a difference.

As far as I regard the boycott--he doesn't get any more of my money. I don't care about a "difference" or "enough people". Just where my dosh goes. And it's not to him, no matter how much I liked that story.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Holy crap I am watching Skyfall and it has Komodo dragons! Somewhat dubiously rendered, but still.
