If I had a dollar for every friend I have that worked for Palantir... Let's just say I'd have at least 10 dollars. From my former roommate and posterous cofounder Garry Tan to my wife, I've known many people that have been involved. And this is the closest i've ever come to understanding what they do :)

Indicating, that at least to a small extent, my tastes still mirror that of the people... I didn't think Watchmen was all that watchable... but I thought Taken was an extraordinary movie. I should totally have my own theater!
Although it took in $55.2 million at the weekend box-office, the news for Warner Bros.' Watchmen wasn't all that good. After reports came in of heavy pre-opening ticket sales on Internet sites, a theater count of 3,611 and a screen count of about 7,500, analysts had expected it to come close to or even exceed the $71-million opening gross for the previous Zach Snyder fantasy thriller 300. Moreover, sales fell off precipitously on Saturday and Sunday (the movie took in almost half its gross on Friday, including midnight screenings), and some pundits saw the result as an indication that the movie's appeal was limited to young adults who were fans of the graphic novel on which it was based. (Warner Bros. said that 65 percent of the audience was male and 54 percent older than 25.) They predicted that the movie, which some said had cost as much as $200 million to produce, would take a big tumble next weekend. Actually, the biggest tumble of the year already took place over the weekend as Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience dropped 71 percent in its second week to $2.8 million. Taking nearly as big a hit was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, which dropped 69 percent in its second week to $1.5 million, bringing its total to a measly $7.3 million. On the other hand, Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail and Takeneach showed impressive legs, with Madea moving up to second place with $8.5 million in its third week and Taken pulling in $7.3 million in its sixth week. Meanwhile, total box office revenue for the year has already approached $2 billion. It now stands at $1.929 billion, up 16.61 percent from last year at this time, according to Media by Numbers. Attendance is up 14.85 percent.
The top ten films over the weekend, according to final figures compiled by Media by Numbers (figures in parentheses represent total gross to date):1. Watchmen, Warner Bros, $55,214,334, (New); 2. Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail, Lionsgate, $8,532,412, 3 Wks. ($76,237,739); 3.Taken, Fox, $7,334,814, 6 Wks. ($117,933,922); 4. Slumdog Millionaire, Fox Searchlight, $6,808,383, 17 Wks. ($125,324,813); 5. Paul Blart: Mall Cop, Sony/Columbia, $4,146,316, 8 Wks. ($133,588,995); 6. He's Just Not That into You, Warner Bros., $4,017,326, 5 Wks. ($84,644,583); 7. Coraline, Focus, $3,255,852, 5 Wks. ($65,627,777); 8. Confessions of a Shopaholic, Disney, $3,100,298, 4 Wks. ($38,335,114); 9. Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience, Disney, $2,832,454, 2 Wks.
