blah blah blah the return of the king broke the movie debut record with $34.1 million…smooshing the previous record of $28.5 million set by the phantom menace. dont look too surprised. it was also sixth overall in single-day takes…which is pretty good for a movie nearly twice the length of the other 5 movies ahead of it.
in other news…the return of the king makes people want to pee really bad. huzzah! there havent been intermissions in the u.s. since the 80’s…and with more and more movies pushing running times, people are finding it harder and harder to hold it in. and with the return of the king, people are loathe to miss a single scene. but when nature calls, she takes a boot to your ass. some of these people were just asking for it tho…2 liters of coke and a 20 ounce vanilla coke? wtf. i personally dont care for intermissions…tho i suppose it would be a good idea for 3+ hour movies. the cinemas in italy had intermissions…which threw us completely off the first time it happened. we were like…”eh? what a shitty ending!” intermissions can sometimes make the film interesting tho. one movie (a portuguese movie? cant remember) the characters on screen were having a rather meaningful talk…cut to intermission…and then cut back to them bunny fucking all over the place. fascinating.
