Y'know, with several statues of hated individuals being removed right now, I'm reminded of a moment in Irish history.

In the years following the Battle of Trafalgar, a column with a statue on top was erected in honor of Admiral Horatio Nelson. This wasn't the famous one in London, however, this was built smack dab in the middle of Dublin.

It was called Nelson's Pillar, and before anyone chides the creators too hard on their creativity, it was built several decades before Nelson's Column. One advantage it also held over it's London counterpart was that you could climb up a spiral staircase inside it, to a viewing platform 134 feet (40.8m) in the air.

Views on the column were mixed to begin with, and only soured as time went on. By 1853, there were already proposals to remove the statue, but unfortunately upon it's completion in 1809 the Pillar was placed in trust, and required an Act of (British) Parliament to remove.

After Ireland gained it's independence, calls for the removal of the Pillar, a momument to a British war hero, continued regularly including several attempts at legislating to get around the trust, but all ultimately failed either due to a lack of money or a lack of political will.

At 2am on the 8th of March, 1966, the damn thing exploded.

Not because of any structural defect: someone had gone up the staircase and planted a bomb.

Nobody was injured, and property damage was minimal. The IRA claimed they weren't involved, and the government gave a lukewarm response of "someone could have gotten hurt, this shouldn't have happened". Several prominent figures were outraged.

Meanwhile, the Irish public fucking loved it. Several songs were written in honor of the explosion, one of which remained at the top of the Irish charts for nine weeks.

Many joked that it was Ireland's contribution to the Space Race.

Reportedly, the President of Ireland, Éamon De Valera, called up a newspaper and offered the headline "British Admiral Leaves Dublin By Air".

The remains of the structure were quickly condemned, and a week after the first explosion the rest was blown up by the Irish Army. A crowd showed up the event, and the explosion was met by thunderous cheers.

The crowd then proceed to rush towards the rubble and take chunks of masonry as souvenirs. Many of these chunks were later donated to various museums and public parks, still more remain in the backyard of various Dubliners.

In 2000, a man by the name of Liam Sutcliffe confessed to being the bomber during a radio interview. He was later question by Gardaí (Irish Police), but they declined to bring charges against him.

In 2003, the Pillar was finally replaced by a giant knitting needle.

Conspiracy theorists ordered to pay £40m in damages for school massacre allegations

Conspiracy theorists ordered to pay £40m in damages for school massacre allegations

A Texas jury has forced Infowars’ Alex Jones to pay $49.3m (£40.8m) in damages to the parents of students killed in the Sandy Hook Primary School massacre, which conspiracy theorists mistakenly called a hoax. I ordered. That’s less than the $150 million (£124 million) sought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was killed in the deadliest classroom shooting in US…

Love, Simon at the Box Office

Hello, Tumblr.  One of my idiosyncratic fandoms is box office tracking and results.  If you’d indulge me for a hot minute, I would like to make a plea for you to go see this in theaters.

The following is a long post about box office numbers, life hacks for cheap tickets, and overall gay crying.

I have seen this film twice in the past 24 Hours, and I’m still struggling to find the exact words to properly describe how it profoundly affected me.

I’m somewhere between:

Love, Simon is a paint-by-numbers rom-com released by a major Hollywood Studio (Fox 2000).  Only the lead protagonist is a gay teen.  As Peter Travers of Rolling Stone states in his review:

A seemingly ordinary coming-of-age tale that looms large because of its inclusive romantic embrace, Love, Simon wins you over by capturing your heart without pushing too hard for the prize. ...  Yes, the plot mechanics tend to lean toward the disappointingly slick and sitcom-ish. But what redeems the film and makes it such an exuberant gift is the sincere joy Berlanti and the actors take in celebrating its protagonist's growing self awareness…. Love, Simon is a John Hughes movie for audiences who just got woke. And for all its attempts not to offend, it's a genuine groundbreaker.

I love this critique.  In Love, Simon no one dies, contracts HIV/AIDS, or is the victim of a violent hate crime.  The characters face complications and angst -- coming out in 2017 still is a huge undertaking with monumental stakes.  Yet in the context of this film, we understand that everything will be okay.  The genre makes it safe.  The audience knows that the homophobic bullies will get their comeuppance. The friends will make up.  The main protagonist will find love.

Love, Simon might not be perfect.  It might not be everything to everyone.  But it deserves its praise, and we (the LGBTQIA community) deserve to have more films like it, because everyone deserves to escape into indulgent, cotton-candy media where they can see themselves proud and happy.  Love, Simon is important; just as films like Black Panther, Girls Trip, Wonder Woman, and A Wrinkle In Time are important.

And we need to financially support it:

Money Makes The World Go Run

The film business is a business first.  Movies that don’t make money, don’t get sequels or start trends.  So I know, I know, I’m asking for a lot, but we need to embrace capitalism for just a second.

Love, Simon opened to a $11.5M Opening Weekend (OW) from 2,402 theaters.  

According to Deadline.com

Love, Simon drew 58% females, 42% males with 59% under 25. The movie over-indexed in the west, Northeast, and Midwest; slightly under-indexed in the Rockies; and under-indexed in the south and southeast. Top 20 markets that over-indexed include LA, NY, SF, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Minneapolis. Top grossing theaters came from LA, NY, SF, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, St. Louis, Dallas, and San Antonio. Canada repped 5.6% of the weekend’s take.

Tumblr, you are driving this movie.  You are going to make it a success.  You have the power.  We need to get this film to bring in a total domestic box office (DOM) of 50M+

Love, Simon’s budget is between 10M - 17M, plus P&A (Print & Advertising) Marketing Budget.  I don’t have the P&A numbers.

There is a general rule of thumb in Hollywood called the 3X Rule.  It states that a film is a box office success if it makes 3X its production budget.  If a movie costs 50M to make, a 150M box office is a success.  This rule is NOT exact, because it does not factor in the Print & Advertising (P&A) budget of the film, or that a movie can do terrible at the box office but still be considered a financial success because of X-factors like merch sales (I’m looking at YOU Pixar’s Cars)

Love, Simon will need 51M to pass the 3X Rule.

It’s not impossible looking at the comps:

Everything, Everything 34.1M OW / 64.6M DOM (1.89X Multiplier)

Paper Towns 32M OW / 85.5M DOM (2.67 Multiplier)

The Fault Is In Our Stars 48M OW / 124M DOM (2.58 Multiplier)

But it won’t happen if we don’t get that multiplier up to a 4X+

Multiplier = The total DOM divided by the OW.  So for example:

Justice League (2017) 93.8M OW / 229M DOM = 2.44 Multiplier

The Greatest Showman (2017) 8.8M OW / 169.7M DOM = 19.04 Multiplier

We need to pull another run of legs like The Greatest Showman and keep it keep it theaters until Avengers: Infinity War (April 27, 2018).  Once IW shows up, the summer box office season kicks off, and, realistically, the jammed packed release schedule will push Love, Simon out of theaters.

We have Five Weeks - to go see this film, to tell everyone we know to go see this film, and support the cast and crew as much as we can.

The best way to do that is a positive Word of Mouth and Legs.

Word of Mouth: TALK ABOUT THIS FILM.  RAVE ABOUT THIS FILM.  Post on Twitter, on Facebook, on Tumblr.  Get a Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB.com account and post reviews.  You can NOT underestimate a good grassroots effort to get the word out.

Legs = Tied to the multiplier.  It’s how much a movie makes AFTER the opening weekend.  Movies like Justice League are front-loaded; meaning most ticket sales are opening weekend and in the first week. Other movies, like The Greatest Showman, have much stronger legs, where they earn a decent amount every weekend for a large total.

Weekend Drops: The percentage that a movie drops from week to week.  For example, Black Panther has had amazing holds with its (as of writing this) 5 Week Run: Weekend 1 242.1M Weekend 2 111.6M (-44.7%) Weekend 3 66.3M (-40.6%) Weekend 4 40.8M (-38.4%) Weekend 5 (26.6M (-34.7%) Even though it’s making less money every week, we can see that Black Panther’s domination over the marketplace is consistent.  Solid audience retention is why Black Panther is not dropping many theater screens, despite being out for over a month. This is the same reason why The Greatest Showman (which came out before Christmas) is STILL playing in 700+ theaters.  TGS actually had FOUR weekends out of its seventeen where it went UP from previous weekends, and had an average of a -20% week to week drop.

It is CRITICAL to Love, Simon’s success that this weekend only drops between 20% and 30%.  Some on the Box Office Forum I’m apart of are speculating that the next week will be CRITICAL to the success and failure of Love, Simon’s domestic box office run.

So, let’s go to the movies!

Cheap Ways to See Films

Going to the movies is expensive.  Here are some life hacks for discount tickets

MoviePass

Like Netflix or Spotify, you can sign up with MoviePass, and for $9.99 a month, you can see a movie a day.  Yup.  A movie a day.  It is a steal of a deal and pays for itself after the first month.   The only drawback is it takes a couple weeks for the company to send you your MoviePass card.  I think it took three weeks to get mine.  Still!  This is A VALUE.  And you can go see Love, Simon once a day for a month for only $9.99

Discount Tuesdays

Most movie theaters offer discount tickets on Tuesdays.  You will have to check with your individual theaters, but Tuesdays are the most common day across the US and Canada.  Our theater is $5 on Tuesdays.

AT&T Ticket Tuesdays

Do you have AT&T as a mobile carrier?  They offer Discount Tuesday Tickets.  Buy 1, Get 1 Free.  You can read the fine print here

Dealflix.Com

Check Out this site for discount tickets.

Groupon Has A Banner for Discount Tickets

in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, Atlanta, Denver, and Washington D.C.  In the past, Groupon has also offered discounts on Fandango, MovieTickets.com, and DealFlix gift cards or vouchers.

Student, Seniors (65+), and Military Tickets

Many theaters offer current discounts to these three groups.  So check your local theater’s website, grab your grandma, friend in the military, and/or student ID, and head out to Love, Simon.

Group Rates

Often times buying tickets in bulk results in getting a discount.  So get 10 or 20 of your friends, and call the theater to see if they offer group rates.

Go To a Matinee!

Remember!  The early shows before 4 PM (6 PM at some theaters) are always less!

Wait! I Don’t Live in the US or Canada

You’re going to have a wait a little bit, but PLEASE go see this once it's released.  Foreign Box Office is a HUGE part of a film’s success, sometimes it even saves it!

So, Save the Date:

March 22, 2018 - Brazil

March 29, 2018 - Australia

April 6, 2018 - UK, Ireland

May 3, 2018 - Argentina, Singapore,

May 4, 2018 - Finland, Taiwan,

May 9, 2018 - Philippines

May 10, 2018 - Hong Kong

June 14, 2018 - Czech Republic, Netherlands, Slovakia,

June 15, 2018 - Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Sweden

June 21, 2018 - Hungary, Portugal,

June 27, 2018 - France

June 28, 2018 - Germany

June 29, 2018 - South Africa, Spain

August 30, 2018 - Italy

Even if you watch (or have already watched) a CAM online, please still consider seeing this in the theater when it comes out it in your country!

The more we can show Fox/Disney that we are willing to put our money where our mouth is, and go support this movie, the more likely it is that similar films will be made. Hollywood is constantly searching for the next big thing, so if they see a hit or potential trend, they going to try and figure out how to copy it.

I Just Don’t Have the Funds or Means to Get to the Theater

The goal of this post is drive box office success.  I get that sometimes you just can’t get to the theater; or, because of the nature of the film, it might not be safe for you to attend.  You can STILL help out with Word of Mouth

Fox is checking Social Media.  Keep tweeting and posting about how much you love this movie, and how much it means to you.  Make sure to use the Hashtag #LoveSimon.  Reblog this post so others can get the information.  Tell your friends to go, and RAVE about it.  Post positive/rave reviews on Amazon, Rotten Tomatoes, and IMDB.  All of those things help Love, Simon.

If you’re still here, I know that was a lot, THANK YOU, and I hope you get a chance to enjoy and love this movie.

Games Workshop reports strong first-half sales as it engages with customers across channels

Games Workshop has reported strong growth across its sales channels as it invested in engaging with its customers both through new stores and online.

  The retailer behind the Warhammer game, a Top350 retailer in IRUK Top500 research, reported revenues of £148.4m in the six months to December 1, up by 19% from £125.2m a year earlier. Trade sales continued to be the largest channel, growing to £76.1m from £61.4m last time, while retail sales in Games Workshop’s own stores reached £45.3m (£42.6m last time) and its own direct online sales of £24.2m were 15% up from £21.2m. Online shoppers can also buy from third-party trade customers. Income from licensing royalties increased to £10.7m over the half-year, and it is also working to develop a TV series. Pre-tax profits of £58.6m were up from £40.8m a year earlier.

  Games Workshop said that over the half-year it had built new communities, opening 12 stores, about 200 trade accounts, while reaching more customers online. More fans (-48%) visited its Warhammer Community website over the six months compared to the same time last year, visiting more often and staying online for longer. The retailer said that it continued to improve the shopping experience and functionality in its own online store, concentrating in particular on personalised content and navigation. It is also changing its ERP system in the UK.

  Kevin Rountree, chief executive of Games Workshop, said: “Our business and the Warhammer hobby continue to be in great shape. We are pleased to once again report record sales and profit levels in the period. The global team have worked their socks off to deliver these great results. My thanks go out to them all.

  “We are also announcing that the board has today declared a dividend of 45p per share, in line with the company’s policy of distributing truly surplus cash.”

  Games Workshop said it had put plans in place to mitigate the effects of Brexit, depending on what form the UK’s withdrawal from the EU takes. It is also looking at the environmental effects of its business through several new projects. It says this is a priority for the business and that it is committed to improving its progress in this area.

We ended 24hours at 40.8M views!!! 😥 I was streaming on 3 devices since the release. In order to beat Taylor swifts record we need more than 43.2M, which is still attainable because apparently her 24hour view count made a huge jump in views (32M - 43.2M) before it was recorded. YouTube had to catch up...so I'm hoping we beat it 🙏

It's so sureal for me that Fake Love has 40m views already... I remember when Fire came out and it got 40m views in TWO WEEKS and BTS was screaming when they heard that... Army is so much bigger now i'm so proud of my 7 perfect boys 🤧🤧🤧

i know!! it’s incredible how fast they’re breaking their own records. 🤧💗

The States That Drink the Most Beer in America [Map]

American reportedly drinks about 6.3 billion gallons of beer every year. But which states drink the most? According to data from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, beer consumption per capita varies significantly by state and region.

Midwesterners drink more beer than those in other regions, while Northeasterners drink the least. However, New Hampshire residents drink by far the most beer per capita of any state — likely due to the state’s unique lack of tax on alcohol. Meanwhile, Utah unsurprisingly drinks the least amount of beer per capita, as the predominantly Mormon state largely abstains from alcohol.

VinePair’s color-coded maps show these and other results of American beer consumption in 2018.

THE STATES THAT DRINK THE MOST BEER PER CAPITA

After New Hampshire, the states that claim the most beer drinking per capita are Montana, Vermont, and North Dakota.

THE STATES THAT DRINK THE MOST BEER OVERALL

Unsurprisingly, highly populated states such as California, Texas, and Florida top the list of states drinking the most beer overall — with Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New York trailing behind.
