Gale - 1 million; Blue+1. I'm liking Blue here
as we pit Spacey aganist Kurt Russell. We also
have Ving Rhames in Blue to capture the black
audience. Gale does have Kate Winslet and Laura
Linney, but I figure guys usually pay for the movie so I go with the macho action pick here.
Opinions please before it moves too much.

she`s kinda` a cutie.....a blonde...not a sexpot.....but very cute.....very "whitegirl".....clean looking.....
 
that`s all i needed to hear....i am a spacey admirer(since usual suspects,seven,american beauty and glengarry glenross)....i`ll lay the -135....the trailer looks pretty interesting....

p.s.-although i hate his pushy politics,alec baldwin`s role in glengarry was the most compelling short role i`ve seen since wilford brimley in absence of malice...

dark blue is actually supposed to be a good picture. life of david gale was a highly regarded script around town, but I always thought it was a snoozer. toss up as to which will do worse, look for under bets and avoid going head to head if possible.

also, Kurt Russell is a ticket black hole. should draw audience but never does. stargate was the last thing that he was sucessful in, I think.

Sure glad I did'nt pull the trigger on Blue.
Gale is taking off over at Olympic; -2.5 mill.
-180 now. I might go see it myself.
 
franks...i`m beginning to wonder....gale is getting panned in the b`more media and in the papers....it`s another ponderous anti-death penalty screed(boring and condescending)...what happened to kevin spacey...lakerfan made an excellent point to me regarding spacey`s most recent film choices....the guy is a fine actor that appears to be ham-stringing his own career with lousy project choices...

I hear ya. How bout we focus on boxing and try
for some paydays there? I took Corrales under 9.5 rounds tomorrow nite. It was at Olympic, now it's under 8 rounds. This Tyson fight is
very shaky to me. What's the angle here?
 
franks.....what the heck did you do?.....that over/under in the corrales fight is now 6 1/2 at oly......if you stretched out on this one,you might want to middle a portion of it.....that thing has dropped 3 full rounds?.....whoa...that`a a healthy line movement..gonna change that moniker to "the franks syndicate"

I did'nt bet the farm. I just hope it wins.
Diego came in at 133 to 135 for Cassiani which
shows me Corrales is in trim. I'm still
mulling over tyson show!

sphincter, estimates will be out this afternoon, but your bet is a win. The best Dark Blue can hope for is not getting beat by 3 million (but even that is very unlikely).
 
laker.....i bet it....but,it`s your win....all kudos to you....i`m just a parasite tagging along for the ride....after the reviews in b`more,i wondered a little about gale....obviously,poor reviews didn`t change the way this played out.....you are obviously very sharp regarding issues movie and hollywood.....feel fortunate to be able to benefit from your expertise and generosity.....much appreciated..
