The Sandbox Office Report
Well, it's New Moon Friday here on The Sandbox. After some audio from the movie, Special Ed is at a loss for words. Well, Fletcher says, this is important stuff. Bella finds out that Jake is a sexy werewolf. No, Ed says, he is not a werewolf... he is a shape-shifter! Werewolves go through very painful transformations and they're half wolf, half human. Jake, on the other hand, instantaneously transforms into a full wolf. Stephenie Meyer ruined vampires and now she's trying to ruin werewolves. But if you're a fan of the books and you want to see it, you're going to enjoy this movie. Charlie points out that it looks like an action movie, but Fletcher says this is something the whole family can go see. Young girls and old women are all going to love it. But they definitely could have chopped off about 45 minutes.
Whatever you do, don't take the children to see Planet 51. Go see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs again or just wait for Toy Story 3. It was terrible.
And we had a surprise guest! Robert Pattinson called in from Italy to tell the guys New Moon is the greatest movie ever created in the history of movies. He is a real vampire, he says. And Stephenie Meyer got it right again!
Cleaning Guy Pat D's Pats Preview
Today was not so much a preview as it was a playback. Pat loves Belichick and is standing by him. This was a great play -
there were just bad results. Everyone is giving Belichick crap and
they're all douchebags. Pat says Belichick had a 30% chance of winning
the game and a 70% chance of losing. If he punted he only had a 20%
chance of winning and an 80% chance of losing. He made the right
choice. And it wasn't just that call that led to the Patriots' loss; there were other things going on too. For one, we need to take into consideration the timeout Brady called, and we can't forget about that fumble from Maroney. It was
Peyton Manning out there! A future hall-of-famer! It doesn't matter
where you give this guy the football, he is going to score a touchdown.
The Pats are going to play the Jets in a few days, but f*** the Jets.
Belichick will not make another bad call.
Adam Sessler
Adam Sessler from G4tv was on the air today to talk about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2! The game made $550 million in 5 days, and is being called the biggest entertainment launch of all time. Charlie wants to know, what is the draw to this game? Technically, Adam says, it almost has no parallels. The graphics are great, and you can almost feel the atmosphere. There's a sense of realism that no other games have accomplished. They take that realism and drop you in the middle of the action, which is something very few games have done. Fletcher points out that this seems like something that could actually happen, making it even cooler. It's like scary movies... they're scarier when the things happening in the film could happen in real life.
The Qdoba Mega Robo Thunder Phone Query
Fletcher likes to party and stay out all night. And sometimes that escalates into something crazy. Charlie, on the other hand, is usually one of the first to leave. Fletcher and Ed think they may have gotten kicked out of a WFNX event last year and poor Fletcher feels really guilty when he doesn't remember something like that happening. Well, Charlie says, if you leave earlier in the night you're better off. You see your friends, have a few drinks, and you're not sloshed driving home. So today's query: When do you leave the party? Do you bail early or do you shut it down?
Looks like we have quite a few party animals listening to the show. Most of you think you should go big and stay late.
Name That Tune
A Friday tradition, we played Name That Tune this morning to give away tickets to see the Pixies and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones! Paul from Waltham was our victor this morning. So congratulations to Paul... finally! He's been trying to win for a while.
Diskin!
There's a lot going on this weekend. First, there was a grand opening of a The Ames hotel in Boston. And they're offering super cheap rates right now so you can go check it out. It's another great weekend for food, too! At the big Herb Chambers Lexus showroom in Sharon, there's the 3rd annual Platinum Plate Gala tomorrow. Tickets are $100 but it's for a good cause, Cradles to Crayons. Twenty of Boston's best restaurants will be there serving food. And finally, Mike's favorite, The Boston Hat Revolution Part 1. Some people have decided that Boston needs to become a hat city, so at 5pm tomorrow they're meeting at 25 Newbury Street where they'll hang out for a little bit before migrating elsewhere. They're looking for creativity, people!
