If all those clubs from first post really exist, I really have no problem with this www thread. I also think that Wall-E's number is pretty great.

second that..

I know, it can get annoyed sometimes (or all the time!)

but chill out!

don't you want 'your anticipated movie' to do well? some of us do, and that's where all ridiculous predictions come from.. based on the record, those people loved every Pixar's film.. so, it's really a NATURAL reaction for them to hype Pixar's upcoming film..

I got annoyed with the overhype of some film too (most recent Indy 4), I know how you feel..

this WWW thread was fine (after all, it did fail to meet the expectation)

but you know what's not fine?, this thread was supposed to be some form of 'making fun' of those who overpredicted Wall-E IN THE FUN WAY

but, I might be wrong, your posts are full of hatred..

I thought all of this is supposed to be fun

so, IMHO, NOTHING IS WRONG

this film failed to meet the BO expectation, yes

but is it a bad opening number? no

and those who overpredicted Wall-E, is there anything wrong with them? I say, no

I was expecting Wall-E to have a lot more teen+ appeal than the other Pixar films (besides Incredibles)

Looks like Wanted took quite a huge chunk of that audience. Should have some excellent legs though.

I think this thread is perfectly justified considering what I (& others) have had to put up with over the past few days and weeks. What happened to the good old days where it was just "_____ prediction thread". why can't we stick with that. there is no need for clubs. if you want to colaborate your results in an excel spreadsheet then go ahead, but don't make threads out of excitement its annoying to people who don't have that excitement. if it wasn't out of excitement, it was used to piss the people like me off who doesn't like fan-obsessed films. (excluding TDK).

and like MadGez said before, i never said it was a huge financial failure, but what you guys did was annoying and inessence caused this to happen. its good to see a few people come out and say, i obviously took it a bit too far.

I understand that..

believe me, I know how annoying I was with all these film-obsessions..

(at one point, I was intentionally bumping all threads about Wall-E in Cinemania forum to the front page.. juts because to piss you off with your 'I hate Wall-E' club.. bitchy, I know)

the thing is.. I can't help myself either to NOT get excited (and even make some ridiculously awesome prediction )

like I said, how could I NOT be insanely obsessed with Pixar, since I -myself, my opinion which is not necessary to be matched with yours- found every single of their films to be nothing short of wonderful..
(ok, except Cars)

so, in the end, I think the least I can do for you is trying to not fall into the 'overhype' case, and I think you should try to understand why we're hyping some movie too much as well..

or at least, get over it / don't take things too serious

being 'out of control' (not quite lunatic ) -for sometimes- is the part I loved about the internet life..

i can understand going crazy about a franchise on AICN or similar sites. but KJ was never like this back in 2005-06. i know things evolved, but i found box office predicting fun and enjoyable. the arguments at times went overboard, but the spirit of it all never changed.

what i've witnessed in the Box Office Bash, including the movies that i'm "hyped-up" about, in the past year has been deplorable.

You people are entitled to be excited about films you want to see, even i am, but please don't annoy the people who don't share your sentiment.

My anti-Wall-E club was made out of pure annoyance. even people who wanted to see Wall-E chimed in. this should tell you something.

Yeah, but they actually hyped a good film, not mediocre crap like Hulk et al.

umm, ok, I got it

your last two posts, hope for more people to read them..

btw, this thing -some members overhype some movie, some others get annoyed-, IMO, is absolutely normal.. the real peace is never meant to touch human's society (even the internet ones), NOT before we learn to understand each others..





**yuck! cheesy!!**

Some people just had too high expectations on this board. I knew it would make somewhere between 60-70 million. This isn't a franchise film. Also it will have good legs so it should do 250+, I think it will do around 280-285 myself and finish 5th for the year.

my point is that people on here need to exercise a bit of self control. on anything.

You're not in a position to give this advice. And I don't see why anyone should care to receive it.

If people controlled themselves, this forum would be DEAD. To hell with control.

i think i am, because i'm sitting here proud of how much Wanted succeeded and i was the only one who believed it. so yeah today take my advice, and stfu.

people should control themselves on here. KJ is a classy place. take ur shit to BOM where that kind of behaviour is encouraged.

Well, I don't appreciate your attitude, so off you go on the ignore list

care factor? Zero.

I can't even read what you said, and it feels so good!

it use to be...

You know, it feels much more classy to me compared to a few minutes ago

I certainly don't agree with getluv on this WWW thread, but I do agree with this. The main reason why I left the BOM Forum and joined here was the insanity and the hatefulness of the arguments over there while here it used to be more civilized and logical. Unfortunately I can witness a longrunning process of BOMosation here too...

when u drowned.

Well there is a trade off. I cant run the place like a complete nazi and ask to close all the WWW thread while allowing clubs to exist. If I close off clubs, the whole Box office forum would be a ghost town because what else is to discuss besides daily numbers. Its the nature of the beast that you will see a dozen Hulk, Batman and any summer movie threads. Its really no different from last year, the year before and any other summer. Yes there are too many clubs but Ive also closed quite a few of them that are redundant and exact duplicates of existing ones

Oh, I'm not talking about the clubs and the WWW threads and I think you did a great job in closing some of them lately.
I'm talking about people being more and more rude and people who provoke just for provocation's sake without having the arguments to support outlandish claims...

at least ur an EPIC FAIL. at least u can take that away from this weekend.

EDIT: ur perfectly entitled to be excited about films, and its a case of N-O S-H-I-T when it comes to a movie website. but again, too much is too much. countless clubs. I can understand the point of these Clubs, but make them realistic, just don't make them for sake of another Wall-E thread.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Nothing to add, just being rude...

i found Loyal's comment assholish, hence the reply.

Getluv's savage dago ancestry adds confrontation to every post. If this were real life, we'd all be shanked.
