As I mentioned before, phonics refers to the pronunciation of words. You were referring to it as having to do with my supposedly misunderstanding something you'd said. You don't actually know what the term means and you've misused it. Be grown up enough to admit it. :wave:
Did you not read my post? I told you I was big enough to admit that I had misread the US figure as being the worldwide figure. Are you so bent on tearing me apart that you'll continue bashing me even when I've owned up to a mistake? Sheesh! Relax man! It's just a harmless discussion board!

You were so proud of your post that you quoted yourself?
Actually it's an inside joke which I figured would be way over your head:lol:

You need to read your own post. Yes you did admit misreading the US figure but right after that you say I exaggerated the worldwide figure and before that you called me a liar again so you're not making any sense. And no I am not bent on tearing you apart, you do that perfectly on your own by always having me back up my claim.
BTW since you're into me proving everything, I want you to prove I don't have 20 grand which you said I clearly didn't have.

As for the cost of 20 mil. Go to yahoo search and type in movie Dangerous Minds cost 23 million. The 3rd line down you will see best films of 1996:by the numbers and right under the headline you will see cost 23 mil. And if you click on it look at number 10 at the far right and it will show the same thing.
This is a no brainer you should have known this movie couldn't have cost much when it was shot mostly in one location and it didn't have any major stars except for Michelle Pfeiffer and she wasn't making the 10 mil. per picture like now. Andy Garcia was suppose to be in the movie but they cut all his scenes out.
Yeah, you're right. You've been behaving in a very mature and grown up manner. What's wrong with me......No, you haven't insulted me at all. I'm doing it all by myself. :hammer: :hammer:
Anyway....
Back to the topic: You argued that Paradise Pier has it's place in DCA because it's supposedly "based on" Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (btw, at no time in it's history did Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk ever look anything like Paradise Pier, but that's beside the point). You stated that Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk was significant to the culture and history of California because movies like Dangerous Minds were filmed there. I countered that this movie was hardly a blockbuster or a classic. I stand by my points.
By the way, you may want to look up the term "blockbuster". To qualify as a blockbuster, the generally accepted standard is that a film must break at least $200 million. This film hasn't, and it's unlikely it will any time soon since it came out about 12 years ago and is hardly a classic. :lol:

Wrong again, well this time partly. Some will say $200 million is a blockbuster but others will say that if a film makes many times the cost of of it's original budget it is also a blockbuster.
Thanks for posting the 12 years ago, since movies go by money instead of ticket sales (which they should) check out the the ticket prices 12 years ago compared to now. Thanks again for proving my point since the movie would have made well over the $200 million:hammer:

So you're saying that Top Gun,Gladiator,Dances With Wolves,Pretty Woman,The Matrix,Sound Of Music,One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest,The Graduate, and Gone With The Wind are all not blockbusters because none of these films have made $200 million. Nice job I just proved that wrong:lol:
You seem very hung up on trying to convince everyone that you have this supposed "20 grand" because you don't seem to want to let that go. I don't think there's much I can do about that, since it's your issue.
Back to the topic...AGAIN...Paradise Pier has no place in DCA. It stands for everything Walt hated about amusement parks and is not even remotely "representative" of California. Sorry for anyone who can't accept that without making it into a fight.

Sorry, I'm not trying to convince everyone so learn to read. You're the one who said I didnt have the 20 grand so I just said prove it since you're the one who is hung up on people proving everything. BTW everytime I prove you wrong you always change the subject and argue about something else. Nice job with Top Gun not being a blockbuster it was only one of the biggest hits of the 80's.
How many times are you going to bring up Walt hated amusement parks? Who cares if you think Paradise pier doesn't belong in DCA and it doesn't matter that it doesn't look like Santa Cruz Boardwalk. When Disney built DCA Santa Cruz Boardwalk is what inspired Disney to build Paradise Pier.
Man, you sure do love the personal jabs, don't you? Have you considered an anger management class?
Chill out, dude. Have a glass of wine (which, by the way, is something that California IS known for), and relax. I think it's pretty obvious, from the countless times you've brought it up, that you do seem to have an obsession with convincing everyone on these boards that you have this mysterious 20 grand. It's not like that's even really all that much money, in the grand scheme of things, so it seems like a silly point to keep trying to drive down everyone's throats.
In any event, I think your continued efforts to get us off the topic merely serve to prove MY point that DCA (Paradise Pier and all) is a weak park that is difficult to defend. You can't really come up with any compelling reasons why the OP should visit DCA (even though I think she said she plans to check it out anyway...who can remember after 13 pages now?? :lol: ), so you're resorting to trying to make the discussion about Michelle Pfeiffer movies and how much money you have, or don't have. Clearly this is in the hopes of getting us off topic in order to take attention away from the fact that DCA is a pretty tough sell.
I rest my case.
Soooooo, getting back on the topic of DCA.....I'm going tonight!
Have fun!:wave:
Thanks for the offer, but the restaurant, On The Border is not far from my house. I can get as many free fresh-made tortillas there as I want and I don't have to buy an admission ticket into a theme park to do it.

You're right 20 grand isn't that much but for you it is. Like I said learn to read because I didn't offer the bet to everyone just you so stop trying to bring everyone else into it just because you're scared. And how many times do we have to hear about the Tortilla Factory? you're the one who got off topic by posting Sudden Inpact was never filmed at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk:lol: Yeah you made yourself look good on that one ,no wonder you're trying change the subject again.
BTW the only M.Pfeiffer movie I was talking about was Dangerous Minds so again you're wrong.
The OP is going to DCA The MOM already told you that and yet you keep responding.
