I wish I was Tony Stark! I'm glad they're tying everything up together with the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers! Kudos to Favreau for an incredibly created film!

His final guest of the day was Michael ward author of Planet Narnia ward theorizes that C.S. Lewis was fascinated by medieval cosmology . Ward says Lewis based the seven chronicles on what medieval cosmologists refer to as the seven heavens the seven planets Jupiter Mars Sol Luna Venus Mercury and Saturn . ward Said Prince Caspian represents Mars because of its military themes. I thought some people might be intersted. Peace and apologies if I offended anyone earlier. As luck would have it, i just finished listening to the Hugh Hewitt Show .

They were smart to keep the name of the terrorist group obscure and not pin them down to a country. Man that script was tight!!! And I loved how they used cell phones in the film. Very clever.

But Vic 750 Billion that's a bit much for Narnia. Haha Who was it that said GTA was going to make 400 mil last week?? (I would love to see the numbers on that pile). I bet GTA hasn't even passed the 50mil mark. Iron Man will deffinitly have an impact on Speed Racer, however I still think SR will break in around 70 mil. Iron Man will prob pull in another 50 mil next weekend.(It will be interesting to see the drop off numbers with Iron Man). Btw Speed Racer isn't just a car-race film and its going to have a look that's never been seen so I wouldn't count it out...+ the kids are going to bring in the (Alvin & the Chipmonks money). And I trully believe that Speed Racer will have a very strong second weekend against Narnia. I'm betting it beats Narnia when the adults find out that it rocks!! I also don't see a battle between Iron Man and Batman. If anything Iron Man just helped Batman out by becoming a huge blockbuster. Iron Man has set a trend that will carry on thru summer. Not to mention the movie biz allways does well in bad economic times... I predict Batman will be huge and have very similar numbers compaired to Iron Man. There both going to clean up this year. The real question is how much will Indy 4 make. So far everyone I know, kids, women, aliens, old, young are all planning to see that one. Tis going to be a good year for da cinema.

The cartoon was dumb and the movie looks just as awful. I will be going to see Iron Man again, but probably some time during the week. I bet that Prince Caspian is a BETTER movie than Speed Racer. It might not make as much at the box office, but I think the movie will be better. Nevertheless, I wouldn't be surprised if Indy beet the stuffing out of the box office records for the opening weekend...$180mil maybe??
