The Twilight Saga: New Moon Breaks Box Office Records


Recommended Posts

I didn't go to see it this weekend mainly because I didn't want to fight the crowds and mostly because every showing was sold out this week at my local theater. My wife has already started up, wanting me to take her to see it so I guess I will soon do just that to keep the peace.

I'd wait until its all died down, myself I am waiting for the Blu-Ray it's easier plus in my house there's no screaming people :p

I will watch this just for kristen stewart. :shifty:

if you want to see her mope for a good 2 hours then watch this :p but Kristens best movie performance to date was in Adventureland (Y)

My Wife and I watched it with the rest of the crowd of 400+ on Friday night. They played it every hour on the hour in several theater #'s at my 15 theater place. We got there at 9:20pm for the 11:00pm show and we were about 32 people behind the front. By the end of waiting we had about 350 behind us.

We were fans of the first one so watched this one. It was good in our minds and about everyone there was impressed with it as well.

Not for everyone I am sure but it was for us. :)

I read half of the first book, I couldn't finish it. It was worse than Harry Potter.

Go ahead and google some twilight hate and you'll find some websites dedicated to literature break down on how bad the books are in detail.

And the movie...

-How can everyone in school have the hots for your crotch and yet be depressed and think they hate you?

-No matter how well or fast or EXTREME you drive, no guy can look cool in a volvo, especially dead glittery ones.

-Blinking 100 times a minute is not good acting.

-Stuttering and blurting to near spaz on every line is not good acting either. Where did they get this girl? A rehab center at mid-sobriety?

-Apparently you have only one class, biology.

-Going to high school all your life might raise questions like: Haven't you gone here before?

-And if you're immortal, you're a loser if you spend it at high school.

I can go on like a broken record that has been said before, say, "It's not a curse if you can walk in day light and just eat tofu deer forever." Or the fact Bella is a Jane Doe with a minus in the personality department.

I think I'm ganna start putting Bram Stoker books on top of twilight books at my barns n nobel.

I can't imagine any males liking the book or the movie, and if you do. Congrats, you're a couple bars down on the evolution graph. If my ex liked the book or movie she would have been my ex a lot sooner.

No one has standards anymore.

I saw New Moon with my wife yesterday and I have to say it may be one of the worse movies I've ever seen. I was yawning viscously about midway through the film. Even my wife was disappointed in it and she's a big fan of the series.

Hmm?

Twilight is certainly not my taste in movies, i prefer action movies preferably war or war related set in modern time but i dont have a problem with WW2 setting, that said i liked Twilight, all this bashing is boring.

I guess that applies to all the undeserved praising it as well?

Friday estimates this week

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
