Fuck that. Water is boring, boats are boring, being stuck in a confined space is awful, people are awful, nothing about it appeals to me. I'll take a good computer with an internet connection over a cruise any day.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I've got work to do by the 12th, and I'm pretty lost on it right now.  :|

Oh right, and I also still have those icons due in Feb, which I'm also lost on right now.  :|

But that's it. It's not just being in the water.  You stop at other destinations.  One cruise I went to San Juan, St. Thomas & St. Croix.  Each place completely different.  I got to drive through a rain forest.  Snorkeled with electric eels on the coral reef. It was amazing.

It really felt like a dream.

But the water part is shitty. I'd rather just catch a flight to a place, and enjoy the place.

Not saying that isn't awesome as well.  Just a different experience.  I do know water is not for all.

Morning.

Victoria and I have gone back and forth about taking a cruise. I feel like I'd be bored after two days.

Mrs. P and I went on a Viking River Cruise in October that started in Basel Switzerland and finished in Amsterdam. It was fantastic and as King said, it sometimes felt like a dream...still does. The very last word I would use to describe this cruise would be boring and if I did, it would be a lie. I needed a few days off just to recover from the cruise.

I know ocean cruises are different due to more water-time between stops. I don't really know you well Chino, but I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. I find it difficult to believe that someone with your intelligence and imagination would be bored.

Just some thoughts.

It's a mini city really.  While sailing there is so much to do on the cruise.  Just buy expandable pants.  It's that good.

" FORCE AWAKENS #1 MOVIE OF ALL TIME "

Yeah in the US only.  BoxOfficeMojo is one of my favourite websites - but they're so US-centric. You can get worldwide grosses but not much else. Bit frustrating really.

Generally - movies make 66% of their gross internationally so the US is not even the biggest market for any movie.

If a film makes 1% of it's gross in the US and is absolutely enormous internationally - it gets called a flop. :|

But you made 10x your budget back but you only care about the 1% you made back domestically ?!

Am I missing something ?

I have to go out to 191st St in the Bronx today. They sent some jackass to check the equipment last night. He said the circuit is good but didn't bring a spare CSU/DSU with him to replace what he claims is bad equipment. WTF! If you're told to go out to a site to check equipment, common sense dictates to bring a spare just in case. These guys have been here over ten years and know less than I do, and I haven't even been here two years yet. Secondly, I don't trust his readings from when he checked the circuit because the readings he gave don't seem optimal for the CSU/DSU to run, so I'm testing them again.  Anyway, I digress...

It's too cold for me...

Because everything from the US is very US-centric. This should come as no surprise to anyone. :P

Hey, you must listen to me really.


Oh wait.


Funny, here we hear those numbers but then international as well.  I'll assume since Hollywood is here theat tends to make it US-centric.

-15oC at the moment ... about the same as you.  Don't know what the wind-chill is. 

Colder than a witches cunt.

Seriously.  At least by the end of the week it'll be in the 50s again.

It really doesn't matter, especially if they didn't adjust for inflation. I'm not sure how it is now but back when Titanic was listed as the biggest grossing film of all time, some site adjusted that for inflation and it would up that Gone With The Wind was the highest grossing film ever. I'm sure that's not the case now, but it's still a meaningless statistic if not applied properly.

It IS the biggest global market.  The US gross is always bigger than any other country's gross.  Note that it is normally divided into two divisions: US and global. 

Even in your generalized example - if 66% of a movie's total gross is international, that means that 34% is from the US, while the other 66% is ALL THE OTHER COUNTRIES PUT TOGETHER.  With Hollywood movies, no other single country comes close to that number.

Also, boxofficemojo is a US site, talking about mostly US-produced films, the largest single market for which is the US.  It kind of makes sense for it to be US-centric, so I'm not even sure what the problem is.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
