Better spend $100 bucks on movies like Saw II than $10 on bad CGI animated flicks.
Only a moron would propose taking a 4 year old to Saw II.

Only a moron would think that everyone has a 4-year old.
A moron, BTW, would take a 4-year old to Chicken Little and not to Wallace & Gromit.

CL surely must bring in only 30+ year olds.
You take the moron of the century award by proposing families are better off watching Saw II over Chicken Little.

No, CL brings in morons mostly.
And as I am speaking to one now, where did I suggest families to watch Saw II? I am speaking for myself and those who have the blessing of going to theatres without kids, for those it'd be better to spend $100 on Saw II or Jarhead than on Chicken Little.
Oh and when I was 7/8 I would have much prefered Saw II over Chicken Little as well, but that's a different story.

That's what I was wondering too. You clearly said yourself prefer spending $100 on Saw II than $10 on CL, then you replied again that not everyone has a child. Oh well, weird stuff to get all emotional about.

This is exactly what I expect from a dumbass like you. I was talking to dolce specifically about FAMILY movies, not for singles, couples without children or aliens before you jumped in with your foot in your mouth. Maybe reading the posts would serve you well.

This is my review of Wallace and Gromit. Go look it up before you look like a complete fool which is probably too late anyway.
Not only proves that you are completely clueless but a pathetic liar too.

Man, are you an idiot or do you just try to come across as one. I knew very well that you saw Wallace & Gromit, but judging by the grosses of both movies much more people are going to see CL. All I said that I wish people were taking the kids in droves to W&G. I didn't say that you didn't. SO CALM DOWN NOW and stop being a moron. Think about what you say before you say it.

Hard to argue with an idiot that;
1. Proposes Saw II for families to watch over CGI kid flicks
2. Changes position as soon as his blatant lie is exposed
3. Talks about movies for singles when the topic being discussed is family movies.
Stay away from replyng to me, you pathetic freak.

Seriously, are you stupid or do you just pretend to be?
1. Never did and obviously even xiayun can see that
2. Are you stupid? Where did I do that?
3. I don't care what is discussed by whom, I just added my opinion in which I state that I'd prefer the money would flow to Saw II rather than to CL, completely disregarding who is watching what movies.
What problem do you have with me? I see you are the grown-up and the mature here, so why did you start with the name-calling? Shame on you.

I'm happy about CL's weekend opening. It's the first CGI animated movie that I've given an A to. However, I still vastly prefer 2d over CGI.

Better to spend 44 bucks on movies that everyone in the family can enjoy. The other options are pointless movies like Jarhead or trash like Saw II.
Lastly, animated movies (excluding the studio owned by the worthless version of Microsoft) have consistently defied the snobby internet board negativity and ignorance. Yadda yadda yadda Better spend $100 bucks on movies like Saw II than $10 on bad CGI animated flicks.
For everybody (but The Jerk who continues ramble on even after I ignore the moron), look at the hilighted part. The posts between dolce and I are about FAMILY movies, not any other demographic.
The reply to my post was like saying somebody prefers to spend $100 bucks on a porn movie over CGI movies. Good for them. Saw II is NOT a choice for familes over Chicken Little, which is what I was talking about.

Well, d'uh. Do you think I would be dumb enough to consider Saw II a family flick.
I did mean, though, that regardless of the audiences I would prefer Saw II (and Jarhead) to be more successful. And since the families do need something to see as well, there is still Wallace & Gromit.

I don't see where Lecter one implied that he'd take a four-year-old to Saw II. You made a bad assumption, there, jb007.

The last two pages is beside the point. And I think since this started from my comments, I should mention i saw neither Chicken Little nor did I see Saw II. Both look pretty week, and I went to see Shopgirl and The Passenger instead, and they were weak also. So, um, yeah....
Call it what you wish, but what you choose to expose yourself too still dictates your ideas of recreation, your demand for narrative, dialogue, and style. There's no such thing as a "family movie" as when I was ten, my parents were plopping me in front of Jean de Florette and Raise the Red Lantern, because the thought of sitting through Little Mermaid one more time drove them nuts. A family movie is anything a family sits down and watches together, even NOVA specials, so make of it what you will. That doesn't give a movie a freebie on my part just because 10 year olds could watch it. Still doesn't mean they should, or if they should, that their parents should pay for tickets and sit through it too. My mom had no issue waiting until something came out on video and letting us pick what we wanted to see, while she picked what she wanted to see, and if we didn't agree, we just would read a book on the couch or do something in the kitchen while the other person was watching their movie.
There are also ways to get these movies that support other structures if you're curious. Like circulating copies in libraries, which means you'd actually be supporting that institution rather than directly reinforcing Hollywood's mentality that the masses will flock to anything they make like lemmings to a cliff.

Good numbers for the openers. Nice to see the great 'Shopgirl' doing well. I hope it continues to expand. It was a lovely film.

Heh. Yeah, you kinda are bad with sarcasm, as I read through all the posts for ten minutes straight trying to figure out where you got that line from.

Continuing my BOP rant, in its weekend summary, it mentioned Chicken Little's weekend far surpassed Brother Bear's $19.3M opening weekend, but why couldn't they add a note that Disney didn't expand Brother Bear wide until Saturday and thus that was a two-day gross. It's dumb to compare the two.

Yeah i noticed that too. BOP is the most inconsistent (not to mention negative) site site out there). I still kinda enjoy going there though.
