Molly Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 For James, I paraphrase what Ron Perlman said about his characterization of Slade on Teen Titans: "As an actor, sometimes you just... steal stuff. Slade was my take on Hannibal Lecter, played by Anthony Hopkins. Y'know, except toned down for a Saturday morning audience. Can't freak the little motherfuckers out too much."

dc20willsave Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Kelsey, why? Do you really need that much extra help paying the alimony bills after your messy divorce? He's playing the human villain in Transformers 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Oddly I'm fine with talented people getting paid for this shit. To quote Michael Caine re Jaws The Revenge- "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

slothian Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Also, Kelsey Grammar took part in An American Carol, in which David Zucker spent $20 million to spread the word that Michael Moore is left wing. I like Grammar but I don't begrudge him bad/lucrative/bad film roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Grammer is really not terribly selective in his film work. Down Periscope was even worse than I thought it was going to be going in. He's had better luck on TV, but the fact is that he will do pretty much anything because he can't really afford to turn work down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 How can he possibly need the money?! He made $53 million for the last two seasons of Frasier alone (way more if you factor in the previous seasons). Sorry but any rational man should realise that's his nest egg and not to live in a style beyond it. Even with half of it gone in divorce he should have enough to get by.

MaxPower Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Divorce is a bitch. I think his is up there with John Cleese in losing a fortune. As for that Michael Caine quote; awesome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 The Klingon episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation are so Shakespearean. It's mind-blowingly brilliant work, especially in the two-part Redemption. This one might have risen to the top of my TNG list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 TV Guide magazine recently had a list of the 60 greatest TV dramas of all time. Hill Street Blues was number 1 but I can't seem to find the rest of the list. Does anyone know the list I'm talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a thematic reason for that choice. Edgar Wright is one of the few filmmakers I trust implictly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chops Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just curious to see how much everyone pays for movie tickets where they live. On Saturday I took a date to see Iron Man in 3D, and I was blown away by how much movie tickets cost now. The tickets at the theater I went to were 20 dollars each, so I spent 40 bucks to take my date to the movies, and this was just regular 3D, it wasn't even at an IMAX theater or anything that fancy. True, it has been awhile since I've been to a movie theater, it just seems like I paid too much. So, I'm curious to see if the high price was due to the theater I saw it at, or if movies just cost that much in today's market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Around me standard movies are around $10. IMAX & Ultra Screens are around $14. No idea on 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 That seems like way too much to me. At our local fancy ass we have booze theater, I pay between $7 and $10, depending on when I go, and that's reserved seating, in 2D. It's about the same at the 2D showings locally between matinee and evening showings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I paid £7.50 for a 2D showing of Iron Man, so around $11. Your ticket possibly cost more because cinemas raise prices for Fridays and Saturdays, my local raises the price by around 20% for Friday and Saturday showings.

dc20willsave Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 An evening ticket usually coats 11, 10 with a student or military ID. 3D costs like 3 or 4 bucks more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Ten bucks in town for an adult ticket plus a 3 dollar surcharge for 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 I try and hit the cinema in town after work on a Tuesday, which is the allocated cheap night. If you buy at the door - which is risky, as it's a VERY popular night - an adult 2D ticket is £3.70. Booking online is an extra 70p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 $9-10 for Adult, around $7.50 for matinee and other discounts. Add another $3-4 for 3D. My local shiny-new theater, though, has "early bird" tickets (the first showing of the movie for the day) at $6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 3D is over $20 here in Australia. Standard tickets are about $16 - $19 depending on where you go. Some places have cheap Monday or Tuesdays, where it is $10 - $12. For some perspective, The USD - AUD currency conversion is about even at the moment. Currently the full-time minimum wage is $15.96 per hour. Casuals covered by the national minimum wage get an extra 23% ($19.63 per hour).
