No chance. The fact that it fell from Friday-Saturday means it's not going to happen. Remembe, Titanic didn't have a big opening, it stayed at the top b/c of weak competition, word of mouth and repeat business. That will not happen to Pirates.

max is right. A few teams are interested in him, but Carter isn't having a good year like that again. He'd still be a solid pickup though.

Pirates made 100 mil in two days, which is a record. The previous biggest opening weekends (Saw this at BOM) Spider-Man Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone The Lost World Batman Forever Jurassic Park Batman Returns Batman Ghostbusters II Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Beverly Hills Cop II Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Return of the Jedi Star Trek II Superman Star Wars (re-issue) Jaws 2 The Deep Jaws Pirates did fall 19% from Fri to Saturday which isn't the best sign of its long term prospects

No movie opening on a Wednesday would ever break the record. I think Shrek 3 will break it next year

I don't get why he'd turn down the more lucrative offers, but given what happens to everyone who signs with the Rangers- I think his production will drop big time.

Maybe it wasn't submitted for consideration

I thought the pilot was one of the weaker My Name Is Earls.

Yea, Big Show's tapped to the crossface before. I don't think Foley's ever tapped though.

Armstrong reportedly wants to start the season with a $40 million payroll to provide flexibility for trades. - Fort Worth Star Telegram

That Super Crazy-Kennedy match was just awkward. They definetly weren't on the same page. Who knows, it prob was Super Crazy's fault

No, Alda was going to win but they felt it'd be too depressing to have Smits lose his running mate and the election, so they gave him the win

TSN Ice Chips: The Maple Leafs are reportedly talking to Michael Peca, who is willing to take a pay cut on his $4 million salary to go to Toronto. - Toronto Star Before signing Denis Arkhipov on Thursday, Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon said he spoke with representatives for both Yanic Perreault and Mike Peca.

I hate this offseason. Oh, the Leafs resigned Antoprov. Stanley Cup 07!

Yea, I watched Casino Night again last night- that scene where he reveals his love to her is tremendous TV. But the scene where Jim buys the Coke from Pam and says "Hi"...seriously- Sean fucking Hayes? I think next year Earl and Office will get more nominations

I thought I read about his character in the script Sly posted in his magazine. I'm beyond excited for this movie

Lollilove is on DVD- you can get it at amazon and deepdiscount. It went straight to video, and was produced by Troma. The movie cost about $2,000

He plays a boxing commentator I think. Rocky's not attached to Pirates, they are produced by two different companies.

The DVD is going to have lots of commentaries, and also home movies that Jenna Fischer shot on set. It will also have the webisodes and the More You Know PSAs they did around April Fool's.

If he submitted Booze Cruise and Drug Testing and didn't get a nod, then yea, that's BS.

I finally saw Lollilove last night, and it's hilarious. It's incredibly offensive, but James Gunn owns the movie. Jenna's awesome as well, and looks really hot. And Kitty from Arrested Development is in it too, so yay. The webisodes start next Thursday. I think Dwight has a cameo in one of them. And tonight they re-aired Casino Night, but it was only the 30 minute version and it really wasn't as good.

Jeff Francoeur!

Jesus. Poor Hudson

It's not the last season of King of Queens. And Kevin James is very funny on the King of Queens, and deserving of a nomination. John Krasinski, Hugh Laurie, Jenna Fischer and Anthony LaPaglia all deserved nominations- but the West Wing and Will and Grace leaving opens up some slots.

TSN's daily rumour mill- Flyers forward Simon Gagne did not file for arbitration.

Afterward, Belfour met again with general manager Ken Holland, then left for the airport.

Morozov, an unrestricted free agent, is believed to be seeking at least $3 million per season, although his precise contract demands are not known. - Post Gazette

How does Hugh Laurie not get a nomination, but House gets Best Drama. I mean...the guy is House!

I'm happy Will Arnett and Steve Carell got some love but nominating Jack and Karen over Jim and Pam is bullshit
