let's hope it wins some globes. that will ensure it coming to
the big theatres.

i'm very curious about it. i liked the story a lot but perhaps
a little less than i expected.

altho, what with my teenage crush of Jake Gyllenhaal i think i
will have no problem associating with the characters

what's the big deal? i'm more impressed that a cheap horror film with savage reviews is raking in big dollars. if a movie is only playing at 500 theaters, that means a lot of people have to actually go find the movie, thus inflating the per screen average. a movie playing at double the amount of theaters but raking in nearly the same amount of money is more profitable. don't get me wrong, i'm glad BBM is finding a niche audience, but wake me when it makes $150 million. most people just don't care one way or the other, which of course means it will win every award except special effects.
you look better on your facebook page than you do in person hmph!

See that's how you know the theatre owners who banned it are like, beyond stupid. They could be raking in the dough.
