    "You didn't really quit"

    Here's the answer: It's not the caffeine in a latte that makes you fat. It's the milk. It's not the nicotine in a cigarette that gives you cancer. It's the smoke. As far as "you didn't actually quit" goes, I've faced the same thing. My answer is this: my doctor agrees that I quit smoking and...

    Atlas Shrugged movie opens today!

    Depends on who you ask. Generally anything under 500 is considered limited and anything over 1,000 is considered wide, but there's no hard and fast rule. Typical blockbusters will open to over 2k screens.

    Atlas Shrugged movie opens today!

    Actually, that's the exception. Most films that have poor openings never make their money back. Even a flick that has legs as a cult film (Scott Pilgrim vs the World for example) is considered a box office fail if the opening weekend is poor. But again, notice what I said about the initial...

    Atlas Shrugged movie opens today!

    Well, it remains to be seen. Thing is, this kind of marketing is tricky. A film like this does have a certain built in audience, but by essentially pandering to that audience, particularly in a limited release situation, the studio runs the risk of exhausting the viewership right out of the...

    Additionally, it appears that the initial publicity campaign was focused specifically on tea party people: ‘Atlas Shrugged’: First Movie to Target the Tea Party - The Hollywood Reporter I'll be really surprised if this flick makes its money back.

    Not a bad per-screen average, but with a highly limited release like this it's not necessarily indicative of how it'll play to a wider audience.

    I think you're seeing something here that isn't happening. That's why I commented.

    How do you figure that?

    Atlas Shrugged movie opens today!

    Yeah, I know. But the better choice would have been to refocus that basically inconsequential element on something more broadly relatable.

    Atlas Shrugged movie opens today!

    This thing is getting creamed in reviews so far. Its utter lack of even a single top tier actor and the fact that the flick wasn't pre-screened say a lot about the studio's confidence level. The trailer is about the most yawn inducing substance since Ambien. It looks like a competently shot and...

    Intel goes nuts, rolls out 10 core, 20-threaded server processors

    Specs are meaningless. All that matters is if your device does what you want it to do.

    Musicians check in here. If you play, tell us about it!

    One of my best friends is the son of one of the co-founders of Sunn. I've never played any of their bass gear, but I used to have a Beta Lead that I thought was awesome.
