Alien vs Predator

[Oren1]

I'm tempted to hedge and just give up. Whenever there's negative buzz floating around and I take the over anyways, I usually seem to get burned. This could be a movie a lot of people have been looking forward to this summer, however, when the first previews came out a lot of the crowd reports stated that it got a big reaction from the crowd.

I hear the Alien wins.

 

[Gillian]

looks gay. come on... doesn't it. Fu--ck-n gay lol.

 

[Gillian]

just jokin'... looks choice. LOL.

 

[Oren1]

It looks O.K.

I don't really like the look of the Predators, it's like they're on steroids and wearing football pads under their armor. Why not just stick with the origional design that worked the first time? Anyways, I feel better about my bet now that I'm not alone, the juice switched sides as you can see. Really, the only reason the over wasn't a big play for me was because it wasn't doing that great on moviefone. It did good, but not great. And it's still not #1.

 

[Oren1]

well, almost everyone that's seen it says it sucks, it sounds like.

wsex is o/u 35. given the campiness of the film. under would be the play.

 

[Gillian]

Do you take the over 35? Oren.

If you did, you can hedge some and play Intertops bracket 25 - 35 million for +135.

That way if you lose the OVER, you'll get some money back with nice +135.

what about 50 million or more +245? Possible? 2 fast 2 furious made 52 million.

 

[Oren1]

Gil, can I tag along? I doubt you have the stamina to keep up with both of those bitches.

Speaking of which, the sister-meter has given AVP a thumbs-up.

how come no one pays attention to my plays,

I took over 34 +110

I thought about hedging. I'm still thinking about it. If it made 34.5 I could even middle. But I'm just going to stick with the game plan, and that was to take the over no matter what the line was. The buzz was tremendous before this week started and it all started to go down the toilet. But I'm not gonna wuss out now, it's only 2 units.

I think it could possibly make 40, but 50 is unatainable. It would have to have done better on Moviefone.

 

[Oren1]

who's gonna win? the suspense is killing me! see, that's what a freakin' predator looks like! not the juice injecting mech-warrior freaks in this movie.

 

[Oren1]

midnight screenings are packed, yahoo user reviews are through the roof so far. I'm adding:
35 to 50 +100 2.75 units

 

[Gillian]

Hey,

did it ever cross your mind that this film could do under 25 million? +400?

 

[Gillian]

i want theater reports on this one. constantly. non stop. you got that.

by the way... there is no such word as: anyways

 

[Oren1]

I'll just pretend you didn't just say that.

anyways, no it didn't cross my mind because it's impossible for it to do less than 25. it should be +1000. And if it goes on to make 24 you can quote me on that and start calling me JCambert.

 

[Oren1]

not everyone hates it. It sounds like a lot of people are able to look past the cheese factor and have a good time.

"I just got out of a screning of AVP and i agree 100% with this review {which is a first}.The same audience reaction was at my screening.AVP is a descent flick but nothing as great as the comics or as great as it should be. <span class="ev_code_RED">There was a line around the block 2hrs before the 12:01 screening happening right now so im sure this movies gonna make its bucks back to greenlight another</span>. My advice get Paul Anderson off the sequel and get someone better.

uh-oh, 6/7 reviews at Rotten Tomatoes are rotten.

 

[Gillian]

OVER 50. MARK MY WORDS!!!

 

[Gillian]

Those cocks at Rotten Tomatoes are just looking for the chance to down grade a movie.

They can all...
