Three build ups, four break downs, and run all of the shows. And since we're on an abbreviated schedule, there was only one round to do it all. sigh  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-12-2006 11:48 AM                     FWIW, The Last King of Scotland opened last weekend here.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 10-12-2006 07:34 PM                     shortbus is the finest porn film I have ever seen  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 10-13-2006 07:23 AM                     The Queen is doing well with us. It brings out a lot of people who probably wouldn't go to the cinema normally. Alex Rider was called Stormbreaker in the UK and did pretty well, we got two prints and was busy opening weekend.  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-13-2006 11:53 AM                     "Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker" in the US was pretty Lame , it's like a Jr. James Bond film but worse.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-13-2006 12:00 PM                     Worse than Agent cody Banks?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 10-13-2006 12:18 PM                     I'm afraid so. It's all been done before and much better. Bring back Matt Helm!!  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 10-14-2006 09:58 PM                     The film itself looked terrible but when did that ever stop something making money. Apparently the books are popular. The US opening weekend will probably determine whether they film another book from the series or not.  |  IP: Logged
