Randall, welcome to spoilertown. We're conveniently located next to Hockentown.

[Abraham Smashington]

Dude, you can't spoil NOES. Child Killer burns up, terrorizes teens, teens die, Freddy "dies". Rinse, repeat like the other flicks.

[Abraham Smashington]

...the 13 remake did solid numbers...

I thought it barely broke even?

Spoiler alert!!!

[Ed Hocken]

Way past even, movie made $91 Million.

[nerdious dorkus]

And yes, you can spoil NOES. Look at Ed. In fact, let us all look at Ed.

[Abraham Smashington]

Way past even, movie made $91 Million.

Well fuck. Then it has to come down to the fact that the reviews were mostly garbage. But still. They could make a new on for under 20 million easily.

[Howard]

Brought in $91 million. As far as how much money it actually made (after expense), who knows? Budgeted for $19 million but that movie looked a little pricier than that....plus advertising and print costs.

[Abraham Smashington]

Nerdious I swear I will fucking reach through the internet and murder you if you say one more word about the NOES remake! That was almost a spoiler you bastard! SPOILER!!!

Also, I had a great time watching Kick-Ass. Enjoyed its version of "reality" much more than Watchmen's wire-fu, slo-mo, plastic armor, and no one aging noticably over the course of like 4 decades bullshit.

Different strokes for different folks. I vastly prefer Watchmen to Kick-Ass. Also, I hope you dug your theme music. That's the only time I'll use somebody's request for their music.

[Randall]

Thanks dude. I dug the hell out of it.

[Ed Hocken]

I agree with liking Watchmen over Kick-Ass. Still, Kick-Ass made the source material WAY less mean spirited.

[Abraham Smashington]

Also, according to Ed we didn't' answer your question. What was your question again? We were just loving the epic rant about LOST.

[Timothy225]

Enjoyed the latest episode, Rob! I gotta agree with you on Superbad (maybe I have to watch it again, but I really don't get the hype for this), and with regards to Kick-Ass, the "superheroes in the real world" thing died a couple of minutes into the picture for me. Closest we'll get to that is arguably The Dark Knight, but Kick-Ass, as mindless entertainment, was fun for fun's sake.

NOES? I'm there just to see Haley do his thing, and see how creative the kills are going to be. I'm more of a Friday the 13th fan anyway.

[Abraham Smashington]

Thanks man! Greatly appreciated. I too am amped more for Haley's performance than the movie, but I was always a Freddy fan. Way more so than a Jason fan.

[Randall]

No real question, just a rant. I'll try and work in an actual question next time.
