[The Swollen Goiter of God]

With the kinds of muscle cars they drive, it's more like living a-quart-a-mile at a time.

[Dalty]

Oh Adam, it can only end in disappointment for you my friend.

[Adam54]

My expectations are as high as an airplane traveling after departure from a 50 mile long runway, Dimple. There's no way I can be let down.

[Dalty]

What happens if you make like future Wonder Woman when in the vicinity of said aircraft?

[Adam54]

I get dizzy from all the twirling?

[Dalty]

Then deader from all the asphalt.

[Adam54]

But what a way to go!

[Dalty]

The thing is I have seriously considered getting on a plane and coming to watch this movie with you for shits and giggles. How close to the Goiter's do you live?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

It's about a nine-hour drive. I've done it twice. It's not so bad.

[Dalty]

Stoopid big country.

[Adam54]

The flight is probably $200 round trip and...I dunno...two hours. I could swing that. Let's do this.

The drive is do-able as well, but staggeringly boring. Or at least it was from Kansas City to Minneapolis. I can't imagine there being a ton of difference between that and the St. Louis to Minneapolis drive.

[Adam54]

SHOWTIMES ACTUALLY START AT 7 PM TONIGHT!!!!!

*hyperventilates*

[Adam54]

If I go see it at the one true IMAX screen in the Twin Cities, I can either pay $16.50 for a ticket, or....

"A limited number of VIP packs will be on sale at the box office. $30 gets you premium seating, admission, a medium popcorn & soda, FURIOUS 7 poster & air freshener & $5 will be donated to Paul Walker's non-profit Reach Out WorldWide! Upgrade your already purchased ticket for only $13.50!"

Seems like I can't afford NOT to upgrade.

[Adam54]

IT'S SITTING AT 85% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES!!!

THAT'S CERTIFIED FRESH!!!!

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

That's "Fresh." It won't be "Certified Fresh" until it gets some specific number of reviews. When that happens, the button will change from being a red tomato to being a red tomato with a yellow ring behind it and a green banner in front of it. It's more than likely on its way there, though, so don't fret.

I'm not sure of the magic number of reviews required to make the change. It may be 100. The percentage number also needs to stay a certain number above the lowest number required for a fresh ranking. I'm also not sure of this number. It may also require that a specific amount of time passes.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

According to the site:

"To receive a Certified Fresh rating a movie must have a Tomatometer rating of 75% or better and at least 40 reviews from Tomatometer Critics (including 5 Top Critics). A TV show must have a Tomatometer Score of 75% or better with 20 or more reviews from Tomatometer Critics (including 5 Top Critics)."

Furious 7 has met these conditions. Fresh certification is sure to follow shortly.

[Adam54]

As of this writing, it has dipped slightly to 83% off 65 reviews.

I'm so excited. Have I made this clear yet? SO excited.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

I'm a little less than a month away from the movie I'm excited about.

[Adam54]

The DVD release of Furious 7?

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

[Dalty]

I would pay $30 for a cinema ticket to this movie if I could actually MEET Paul Walker.

What am I talking about. If it's 3D or IMAX I do pay about $30. Stoopid exchange rate.

[The Swollen Goiter of God]

Dalty, Paul. Paul, Dalty.

Now go buy your ticket.

[Dalty]

You sick, but funny, cunt!!

[Dalty]

Sorry, sorry - I promised not to use that word. I won't tell Negs if you don't. Deal??
