No reason to act like an idiot

Posted by: Lucky856 on Sep 29, 11:11 in response to darknightz's post Yup, it gets pretty rough on some online forums; people...

This is a game and something I do on lunch at work.  There is no reason to get angry, especially when you look down and your talking to people with pretend names.  You made some good points, and this movie will probably do pretty well.  But I don't see the point in buying something this expensive when the most I can see it making is a $100 mil.  Especially when Case 39 (which has awful reviews) opens the same weekend in 2,000+ theaters and only costs $13 right now.  That means 650 people per theater to turn a profit.  That plus going short on Buried, which is grossly too much for an indie, and there are just better options than Social Network.

Why are RS's numbers reported as ranges and not whole numbers? Arcsol Sep 27, 10:17

It's only within the last month or two that they've started being reported here as ranges. Before that is was always a single number. shadowking Sep 27, 12:52

SOCIL will overperform. Krubino Sep 27, 15:54

SOCIL will underperform Pr0n Sep 27, 18:35

?? It will OVERperform. Krubino Sep 27, 23:57

Rottentomatoes currently 100% for SOCIAL: 6 more for perfect rare certified fresh Krubino Sep 28, 12:59

Still 100%... until Armond White comes in haha. {nm} Krubino Sep 29, 09:09

ARMOND WHITE ENTERS WITH NEGATIVE REVIEW: NOW GO SEE IT! Krubino Sep 29, 17:35

If it does OVERperform, it will not be due to those reasons. darknightz Sep 28, 16:10

I suppose all I can say is we'll see. Krubino Sep 28, 16:17

Look at numbers, spoof movies don't bomb Lucky856 Sep 28, 17:29

Lots of them bomb, they all bomb with critics, and Social Network is NOT a spoof movie. Krubino Sep 28, 18:04

Doesn't matter how good the movie is, just how much money it makes Lucky856 Sep 28, 20:40

Yeah, that's pretty much all I can say too haha. darknightz Sep 28, 20:41

I appreciate the nice responses. Krubino Sep 28, 21:36

Yup, it gets pretty rough on some online forums; people act all tough and mean but I think HSX keeps it pretty cool. Most of the time haha {nm} darknightz Sep 28, 21:52

^^Krubino's behaviour in this thread was kinda uncalled for and stupid though {nm} DomoI Oct 03, 08:04

Yeah, but then again judging by this weekend, he's not the smartest kid around.... Lucky856 Oct 03, 13:08

Look who was wrong. DomoI Oct 03, 08:11
