QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 12:33 AM) Pacific Rim is an enigma. Most people who have seen it have really enjoyed it. By all estimates, it's now over the budget in terms of box office (around $240 million and counting) but it has been a big disappointment in the US, where it's unlikely to make $100 million. That said, it just broke the $9 million mark for opening day in China (a record for Legendary), and figures to be huge in Japan (because of Riko Kikuchi and the Japanese/Godzilla's enemies homage nature of the film) when it finally opens there. So it will easily make $50-70 million in China (Fast and Furious is already at that mark) and then Japan...and will be hugely popular as a DVD/secondary market/Netflix/rental/airplane views, etc. Which is kind of a shame, because the only way to really enjoy the movie thoroughly is in an IMAX 3D theatre with surround sound. Another interesting twist will be del Toro (if they make the sequel) bringing in a Mexican Jaeger/hunter robot...that will be a huge appeal for that market in terms of pulling in box office numbers, as well as Hispanics in the US. A sequel will probably happen if the numbers in China and Japan stay strong. You also have to consider they will want to capitalize on the Jaeger/Kaiju mythology with the grand daddy of all Kaiju set to hit theatres next year.

I just find it amusing that unpaid "amateurs" earn that much money for the school that they provide such facilities. Is Halas Hall even that nice? It would be if Nike owned the Bears

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) I say it halfway in jest, but you WILL fight with your significant other at some point People get sick of each others s***. Its the truth, nothing wrong with it.

I DONT KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT

Another short film recommendation, "Truth in Journalism" featuring Ryan Kwanten playing Eddie Brock/Venom. Shot in a film noir style as if a french film student is filming a documentary. Very cool short movie(just over 13 minutes). Kwanten nails Brock.

I wish A Rod could be banned and the Yankees have to pay all of that money to some charity or something. But not be able to write it off, lol

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 09:31 PM) :lol: :lol: I wish I was wrong but picking that was rather easy

Axelrod will make this game over

This is all kinds if fun

i watched a short film called "The Final Moments of Karl Brant" yesterday, it stars Paul Reubens and another guy I recognize but couldnt name if i tried. Cool sci fi concept, I could see it getting adapted to a full length feature. Kind of a Lawnmower man/Minority Report feel to it

QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 09:38 AM) Borchard is coming back Rejoice!

SS2K5 suggested that the banner say "Soxtalk....because we arent WSI" he was really pushing that

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 31, 2013 -> 10:03 AM) Shut up. All of you. I could not stand to look at jake and pk on that old school banner any longer. I like Chris Sale. Avisail is our new hope. NO YOU SHUT UP

how about a casket with "2013" over the top?

MY SOURCE IN SAN FRANCISCO SAID THAT THE 49ERS WILL TRADE FOR JAKE PEAVY AND WIN THE SUPERBOWL. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLACE BETS I WILL PUT A SET OF SOX SEASON TICKETS ON IT.

SS2K5 secretly pines for WSI

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:23 PM) He lied to me. No, Jake has a terrible grasp of the spanish language. The direct translation of his tweet was "Yes, I am sitting next to Danks right now in the Cleveland dugout, tweeting. I really love Soxtalk, thanks for all of the support. BTW, I am starting tomorrow"

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 02:11 PM) We could use that if we could get everyone just to switch there lol You can lead a horse to water.....

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 01:51 PM) I get why you are getting confused because I am too. Why don't we just have one deadline thread? Smart idea IMO you mean like this? http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89537

classic Rosenbloom. He is just a less offensive/stupid Bayless, he says things to stir the pot. His Wake and Bake show on the Score is pretty lame, he makes Cheech and CHong jokes all morning.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 12:21 PM) Really is that why thread was started today? Really that why thread started today. We talk about this lots yesterday. where you were? http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...t=0&start=0

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:26 AM) Axelrod is the kind of guy you want to keep around the rest of the year to eat innings so the guys you're actually counting on for 2014 and beyond don't get overworked. You can always DFA him in March. Yea I dont mind Rienzo and Erik Johnson and Snodgress and whoever else not named Axelrod taking those innings. I am done with the "smoke and mirrors" experiment. If the Sox are looking towards next season after this trade deadline, then lets look towards next season.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:13 AM) So much for the keep Peavy and build around him nonsense rumors. Andre Rienzo is expected to be called up to start in Peavy's place on Tuesday. Per Rotoworld Welcome to yesterday

If someone takes Peavy, can we throw in Axelrod as a door prize? I never want to see him throw another pitch for the Sox again
