Bold Predictions: 2016 Edition- Watson’s Rebuttal

I’m totally off the grid these days, but Ryan’s predictions are so bad I had to come in and rip them to shreds and give you the REAL numbers.  His bold predictions about how the 2015 domestic box office would turn out were pretty weak.  He called his performance was mixed–but for him mixed was chocolate plus peanut butter.  In reality, it is a mix of Ex-lax and motor oil.  So I am going to go, one by one, through his 2016 picks and give the real number.  We have a lunch bet on who has the lowest delta between the acutals and their predictions.  NO PRICE IS RIGHT RULES IN EFFECT!

Bold Predictions: 2016 Edition

One year ago I made some bold predictions about how the 2015 domestic box office would turn out.  My performance was mixed–got some, missed some others.  But now it’s time to look ahead to 2016.  Jump after the break to see what I predict will be the top ten grossing films of the year along with 33 other movies I’m making some bold predictions on!

90s Cartoons…All Grown Up

90’s cartoons were always a bit more mature than earlier generations. Where Scoobie-Doo hinted at drug use, later cartoons hit you over the head with the idea.  Well it’s about to get a whole lot worse!

If Cartoon Characters Were Real People

I’ve seen a few of these before.  Might have even posted some in the Funnies.  But never before have I seen a collection of so many of these real world cartoon characters.  Some are amazing.  Some are bizarre.  Some will haunt your dreams.

Gabbing Geek Mystery Box Review: Geek Fuel

 

Hello faithful readers! Remember a while back when I posted about the ever growing popularity of Geek Mystery Subscription Boxes and ranked them in order of value? Well thanks to that post, Gabbing Geek was contacted by Geek Fuel and asked to do another review on just their subscription box service. Who says no to a free geek box!? Not this girl! As a disclaimer, I have to mention that I was NOT paid in any way to promote the box. The only thing they asked was if I would review the box given to me for free, and post the review online after I opened it. And folks – that’s exactly what I plan to do. Not only can you read through my thoughts – but there is a video as well! Thus let the review begin…

ICYMI-Mystery Geek Box Monthly Subscriptions: The Good, The Bad, and The Geeky

Mystery box subscriptions are all the craze these days. You know what I’m talking about, right? Mystery subscription boxes are mail order boxes filled with stuff that you pay for on a monthly basis. The catch is that you have no idea what is going to be in the box month-to-month. You have to go on faith that what is being delivered, will match the value of what you’re paying for the monthly subscription. And depending on what you subscribe to, you can open your mystery box and it may be filled beyond the value of your monthly fee, or you may come up short. It’s a gamble. And with a million different subscription themes out there; boxes for dogs, for foodies, for grooming, for geeks, etc, etc. You have to be sure you know what you’re getting into. Curious? Read on.
