| madman25 said: Wolverine should do over $200M in US. WorldWide it took $160M this weekend. Star trek is getting absolute rave reviews. 100% on rottentomatoes. This movie will appeal to all ages which means amazing legs. Oldies don't want to get crushed in the stampede so they'll take their own sweet time to see it. $100M+ seems a lock for opening weekend. |
How many reviews from "Top Critics" have been posted...0 so far. I don't want to rain on people's parades, but the Star Trek franchise hasn't had mass appeal since the early 90's. Its only been popular in particular nerdy circles since then. While I think a "reboot" of the series is a good idea, it might just fall flat on its face too.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
