Wolverine’s also likely to be profitable, if only because of overseas grosses, but it’s throwing well under the previous X-Men films, and that’s with the headline character for the series. The prospects for Magneto or any other origins films don’t look good for the franchise.

Watchmen, however, is a massive disappointment. Even before the release, WB sold off the foreign rights and then got into a legal battle just to get it released. It’s not profitable and will probably have a long road to becoming so on DVD.

While there’s varying degrees of studio profitability there, it can’t be understated that these films are disappointments. I believe any heavily frontloaded film will have that stigma. Just look at Spider-Man 3, which managed to cross $300m and was the biggest film of 2007 and is still considered a business disappointment. So, yes, they’re not good for theaters they’re not especially good for anyone.

Box Office Awesome isn’t always positive, after all. ^_^

Claudio Sanchez regrets writing himself into the story, if you’d take a minute to actually learn rather than be prejudiced you’d find that. The Writing Writer has no real ties to him, he just becomes a character in the fiction. The title would also make sense if you would look it up.

So in short, why not try to become a successful band yourself before raging at one over the internet. I’m sure Claudio’s feelings got hurt over this before he realized he’s got more money from a “shitty band” than you will have in your life in whatever boring unsuccessful career you pursue.

That being said, it’s probably not cool to bash something you’ve only heard a few minutes of. Claudio’s got a surprising range, it’s just odd that the songs like “Welcome Home” and “A Favor House Atlantic”, which happened to be two popular singles off of “Good Apollo” and “In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3″, respectively, happen to have abnormally high vocal parts. I don’t get it either. But then again, I do like Rush and Our Lady Peace, so who knows. Maybe I’m biased.

Give “In Keeping Secrets” a good listen-through, I think it’s a severely solid album that covers a wide range of creative area.

At least taste the food before you say it’s horrible, just don’t smell it.

(My Turing test words include “Falkenberg.” How creepy is that?)

My point is… these guys are highly successful and talented, obviously. You blog about comics and movies. You talk about the self-injection story line or whatever you called it with such disdain as if you yourself were not suffering from some pretty serious delusions of grandure. Arrogant piece of shit.

Now my question to you is exactly where the fuck do you get off bashing a band you’ve never listened to outside of one song on a video game and their comics, which you’ve never read. I imagine you to be a fat, slobby, loser of a guy. I would have been put off by reading this sort of review of anything. To keep it short, shut your fucking mouth if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Or just shut your fucking mouth… you’ll catch flies. Arrogant piece of shit.

And it’s looking like about 85% of the audience was women.

I’ll have a monthly estimate recap soon.
