Nothing would surprise me with Broccoli. She will keep him until he demands too much and then she will cut him loose on a whim, as she did with Pierce, which sent our FBF into a downward spiral of hatred against her.

But isn't the rumour that he's already done that?

Craig will probably be back. He is like Michael Myers.

Twiggy, the world's first super model also did some songs in the 60s (and she was a singer later on in the 70s as well).

Here is a great song from 1967 (and video made by someone).

I had a major crush on Twiggy when I was too young to fully understand why. Not sure why you mention her here, though.

Box Office Mojo think a $50 million opening weekend for Ghostbusters is a possibility: http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4206&p=.htm

The moral of the story? Don't confuse internet opinion with public opinion.

I remember Twiggy from the John Carpenter/Tobe Hooper tv horror anthology film Body Bags. She plays the wife of a character played by Mark Hamill.

Friday estimates have come in and Ghostbusters is at an estimated $17.2 million Friday, pushing toward a weekend right around $46 million.

Funny thing is the RT rating is not bad, early reviews gutted it completely, but then again this is a Sony film they had Spontaneous eruption of radio shows all over the nation trying sell how great the first trailer was. I'm just saying sony is f'ing crooked and I don't trust on the surface glowing reports from shills who sometimes call themselves critics. However it may not be pixels 2 bad. Also They were behind that awful robocop remake.

If it doesn't make 50 it will be on its way to failure territory. It has to survive word of mouth the first week.

I'm willing to admit if my first impression of it was wrong.

Oh, you know how we can know BVS was in major trouble when it hit bluray with the extended cut the cover features Wonder Woman now, who some say was the only good thing about it.

This quote from CS Lewis was posted on Facebook: Critics who treat adult as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
Lewis, C.S. "On Three Ways of Writing for Children" (1952) — in Of Other Worlds: Essays and Stories (1967), p. 25

Obviously CS Lewis had never been to comic-con. ;)

Good quote.



BTW CS Lewis died on an infamous day in history.

Yes, the day the first episode of Doctor Who was transmitted Image

I was thinking more of the Craigskis.

BOM:Spielberg isn’t the draw he once was. “The BFG,” which opened to an anemic $19.6 million, is shaping up to be one of the biggest flops of Spielberg’s career, rivaling “1941,” his bloated World War II comedy.

As for Ghostbusters, its actual box office haul was $46 million. BOM says that if it enjoys the same muliplier as previous Paul Feig/Melissa McCarthy comedies, it should do well, but doesn’t consider this a likely scenario.
