Posted by: -JPV- on May 14, 14:48 in response to chosenone2oo5's post Bummer! I told HSX years ago how to improve the game to...

I told you all so on "King Arthur: Legend of the Sword." Why didn't they call it "The Legend of Excalibur," by the way? {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 13:15

Sorry to burst your bubble, but most of us already knew. {nm} ßionicℳoron™ May 14, 13:17

I knew back in January 2014...did you know then? Guy Ritchie should've just directed "Sherlock Holmes 3" instead like he was obligated. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 13:21

Of course. I knew back in 2004 after the last King Arthur movie flopped that all future ones would as well. Did you? {nm} ßionicℳoron™ May 14, 14:17

King Arthur, believe it or not, isn't the problem. It's archetypal in the way "Star Wars" is, making it timeless. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 14:20

Hmm, no. It's been done to death, then done to death again. There's no viable fresh takes left. {nm} ßionicℳoron™ May 14, 14:22

1. Not all Millenials have seen the various "done to death" versions. 2. The studios haven't heard my pitches on the idea yet. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 14:26

If your take is as revolutionary as your "movies that do well should expand into more theaters" idea, I can't see how they can say no. {nm} ßionicℳoron™ May 14, 14:29

You'd be surprised how many movies over the last decade I've been playing this game have chosen to remain limited, and only grossed a few $M {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 14:33

I watched Excalibur yet again this weekend. The best Authorian film i can think of. tradermark May 15, 12:25

What are blabbering about? lol. Not exactly a gutsy call. {nm} -JPV- May 14, 13:34

If not--then why didn't the studio pull the plug 3 years ago while they had the chance? AKA before they wasted $250M+ for a budget and P&A. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 13:41

I don't know, why don't you ask them? But here on HSX, it wasn't a big surprise it flopped. {nm} -JPV- May 14, 13:46

At this time, there seems to be about 128,974,353 Long shares for KARTH that seem to be very surprised with how their price has depleted. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 14:19

It's a stock that's been around for 3 years, how many are from inactive accounts? -JPV- May 14, 14:25

Bummer! I told HSX years ago how to improve the game to draw users! No one ever listens! And come on--over 128 separate accounts, minimum? chosenone2oo5 May 14, 14:29

Well good for you. You want a cookie? -JPV- May 14, 14:48

Is it a gold cookie? No, I'm not talking about a gold Taraji P. Henson...though how awesome would that be? #Goldfinger {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 14:52

It's one of those free cookies they give out at Wal-Mart. :p {nm} -JPV- May 14, 15:22

Wait--THEY GIVE OUT FREE COOKIES AT WAL-MART? {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 14, 15:32

even though people know it's a flop, stock still implies a lofty week over week performance. 36m at a 14m opening, I don't think so {nm} JonH May 14, 14:18

Didn't DMac ipo it as "King Arthur: Once and Future Flop"? {nm} Catzan May 14, 16:43

Since you're smarter than all of us, what's going to happen w/ PRME2? I bet you don't know if it's a short or long at this point. ;) (nm) Skyllama May 14, 20:12

I'm assessing Long--as it is in my own personal Portfolio (which is worth about H$4B more than yours)--based on a lot of factors. {nm} chosenone2oo5 May 15, 14:09
