Kids love the movie. Our audience is predominantly young -- 12 and younger -- so most of the eyeballs got in at children's price. But we expect that age group to grow over the coming weeks as word of mouth spreads. The film is budgeted considerably under $30 million, so it's going to be very profitable. Frankie Muniz's last film ('Big Fat Liar') opened to $11 million and did $47 million (so) this could do $60 million. |
KISS is actually a big influence on us. Our manager talked to Paul and got him involved and interested in us from the very beginning. We had a chance to meet him, go to some [ KISS ] shows, get to know him on a personal level. He'd talk to me and say 'You look good up there, but try to connect more to the audience.' I had Paul Stanley , who's a master at it, willing to help me out and giving me tips. How cool is that? |
LCN Technology is excited to offer Vignette's solutions to our customers. Web technologies have come a long way since the first major build-out of network services. LCN is excited about the new ways in which companies and individuals can communicate and collaborate for increased productivity. We have completed initial product training and have begun to build out what we expect to be a robust pipeline of opportunities. |
Look, I'm an easy mark, ... But was 'You Light Up My Life' a vanity production? No one thought I could do that, either. I only got to do it because my investment adviser had put me in cattle the year before and all the cattle died. He felt guilty so he raised the money for the film. Even when it was done, nobody wanted it. I finally had to go to Columbia and say: 'You've got to put out this film. You simply have to.' |
Luxury Auto sites seemed to have mastered the delivery of complex Web pages with a strong visual component to broadband users. However, it is quite surprising that a number of leading luxury automakers are having significant site downtime. Luxury auto buyers become easily frustrated with such poor site performance, and can quickly turn to a competitor site to continue their browsing and purchase consideration process. |
Manny's Filipino audience loves to watch him, but I wanted it to be more private so we could better work on going to the body and the other things we need to work on. Velazquez is somebody we definitely can't take lightly. Everybody's talking about Morales and the rematch, but there won't be a rematch without winning this fight. We've been working on a little bit of everything to make Manny more of a complete fighter. |
Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great. |
Most people were coming down on foot. Everybody was very skinny, very hungry. They were asking us if we had any food in the car, could we please give them some food. The children were very listless, the people shell-shocked. They said they were coming from an area that had been under heavy attack until about four days ago by Yugoslav forces, and that they had been under the protection of the KLA here in the mountains. |
New Mexico was a very well-coached team. Even though they lost some of the strength from their College Cup finalist team to graduation, their future is certainly bright and it was a privilege to play a club of their caliber. It was a great first half that allowed both teams to get a lot of opportunities, but neither of us could establish possession in the second. I was very proud of our players to battle back and tie. |
Next week Reagan will probably announce that American scientists have discovered that the entire U.S. agricultural surplus can be compacted into a giant tomato one thousand miles across, which will be suspended above the Kremlin from a cluster of U.S. satellites flying in geosynchronous orbit. At the first sign of trouble the satellites will drop the tomato on the Kremlin, drowning the fractious Muscovites in ketchup. |
Next year's budget has necessitated a fee increase across the board as our expenses have exceeded our revenues for the first time in a number of years. We recognize the increasing burden facing the parents of our children. We do everything in our power to keep fees and expenses under control; it is nice to finally see some recognition ... of the financial realities of parents and of running a sports association today. |

Nothing more manifestly distinguishes the Anglo-Saxon than his intense and persistent energy, and he is developing in the United States an energy which, in eager activity and effectiveness, is peculiarly American. This is due partly to the fact that Americans are much better fed than Europeans, and partly to the undeveloped resources of a new country, but more largely to our climate, which acts as a constant stimulus. |
Of course she threw you out. My sister teaches there. They're sick of hearing about it. The thing is with these girls, their parents don't want them around because they want to smoke the dope. So they give them money, and they go out and do whatever they want. These kids are out in the street at two, three in the morning. There's nothing to do in this town. You don't see too many stores. It's all restaurants and bars. |
