I'll bet that you see 300 in the theater more than once to help me win my bet.

What YOU said was that you wanted to bet that it wouldn't make more than Sin City, which I will bet in a heartbeat.

Guaranteed wash. It's basically guaranteed to make more than $75m and less than $190m.

The wife and I were watching Lethal Weapon last night just to have something goofy in the background. I was laughing my ass off, because I checked and Mel Gibson was only 30 when he filmed the movie...five years younger than I am now. For some reason, I had a hard time wrapping my head around that.

Now I feel old. Thanks, Z. Thanks a lot.

lol...when I saw it in theaters, I remember thinking of his character as a grizzled, older guy on the verge of suicide. Turns out he was just a confused kid

I thought the movie looked the part and had some excellent acting, but the characters weren't developed enough and the storyline wasn't interesting enough - pretty much standard Robert Altman. 5/10.

BTW, it did win one Oscar - for best original screenplay. It was also nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress (twice - for Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren), Art Direction, and Costume Design.

That said - it was much better than "A Prairie Home Companion". 2/10.

The Gosford Park storyline was way too boring to hold my attention. I've never finished it.
