Boosted by positive reviews and enthusiastic word-of-mouth, the fourth installment in Lionsgate’s action series, led by Keanu Reeves as a legendary assassin, landed the best start of the franchise. It’s one of the rare original properties to keep growing and improving upon the last, in terms of ticket sales. The original “John Wick” opened to a modest $14 million in 2014, its sequel “John Wick: Chapter 2” took in $30.4 million to start in 2017 and the third film “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” previously marked a series-high with $56.8 million in 2019.

Box office charts also feature a franchise that has gone the opposite direction, with a sequel failing to match its predecessor. After “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” stumbled in its opening weekend with an underwhelming $30 million, the Warner Bros. and DC Studios film is now facing a plummet that could tally higher than 70%.

GET ME REWRITE: The quote is from Rick Esenberg, the head of a troglodytic group of (mostly) Tighty Whities at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty

Actually, he's a tainted, toxic candidate who got trounded the only time he tried to get elected to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

In a column outlining Kelly’s qualifications ahead of Walker's appointment of Kelly, Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty president and chief counsel Rick Esenberg noted Supreme Court Justice Shirley Abrahamson — who served as chief justice for nearly 19 years and died in 2020 — had also not worked as a judge before she joined the court. “He is known as a ‘lawyer’s lawyer’ – one who thinks deeply about the law as a discipline and about its role — and limits — in resolving economic and social problems,” Esenberg wrote.

 Attempting to elevate Dan Kelly to Shirley Abrahamson's level.  There is a word for that.

Typical reasons why kids get grounded

 

Typical reasons why kids get grounded

1.  Habitually late or unfinished homework
2.  Poor grades on report card
3.  Sass, back talk and/or swearing 
4.  Staying out late, missing a parent-imposed curfew
5.  Lying
6.  Bullying behavior
7.  Trying to charter a helicopter on my parent’s credit card to have dinner with a friend in another state

New York Times, 3/23/2023

The 49-second video is being hailed, with varying degrees of irony, as a nouveau cinematic masterpiece. Ms. Mars said her goal was to make pasta with vodka sauce but admitted she had to Google the difference between onions and garlic. Before introducing her babysitter’s boyfriend and stating that her “parents are never home,” she nonchalantly confessed: “I’m grounded because I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend.”
