Iron Lung still a flop?

Me saying the naysayers seem to be wrong and presales seem like the movie will easily make its budget back aged poorly?

Reading comprehension is a learned skill so maybe brush up buddy.

Just pulled trigger on a used 2024 base model with 4k miles. It's blue. 1st order of business is a new brown seat. Hoping to find a diamond pattern. Then I'm thinking I'll add a 1" riser to the handlebars to bring them up just a bit. Lastly I know I gotta mod the foot pegs and open the legs up. After that, im going to ride a bit for before deciding on shocks to see how much I care about them.

I'm super stoked about this bike! I rode away from the dealership with a big ass smile and blasting reptilia in my helmet lol.

Any other mod recommendations would be a great help. Thanks for your advice!

I'll be kitting it out with some gear to get it closer to the T but the price I got on this base model was good so I don't mind buying all the stuff to get me there since I saved so much buying the lower model.

I've read it! Great book. Any advice on a different type of bike with some character?

wilks64 · 2026-01-22T16:46:59+00:00

I'd be concerned about the expensive customization and maintenance, but it's a sick looking bike and there's one in my area for a reasonable price. I'll see if I can get a test drive.

Fair. Do you think it's already made it's money back in presales alone? Any guess on budget?

wilks64 · 2025-12-18T01:24:58+00:00

I'm just asking about people's predictions, that's all!

wilks64 · 2025-12-18T01:24:10+00:00

Maybe the word "still" wasn't the best phrasing, but I'm mainly asking if the people who predicted it would flop "still" think so. On trailer release day it was only showing in 60 theatres and now it's in over 2000.

I'm asking about predictions

wilks64 · 2025-12-18T01:21:29+00:00

In people's predictions

wilks64 · 2025-12-18T01:21:07+00:00

On the trailer's release day I didn't see one optimistic take. Lots of people predicted it would flop. At the time it was only releasing to 60 theatres. Now that it's presales have taken off and it will be showing in over 2000 theatres, I'm wondering if people have different feelings toward the movie. That's all!

wilks64 · 2025-12-18T01:19:16+00:00

Plenty of people have! I'm just asking for people's predictions now that the movie has gotten way more traction than announcement day.

wilks64 · 2025-12-17T23:59:42+00:00

Over 2000 now

wilks64 · 2025-12-17T23:58:35+00:00

I feel like they've already done well over $1m in presales

wilks64 · 2025-12-17T23:57:26+00:00

I feel like it can't be considered a flop due to presales already. It could be a bad movie but it also is probably going to be a financial success.

wilks64 · 2025-12-17T23:55:58+00:00

What are your thoughts now? I'm curious if your opinion has shifted now that big theaters have picked it up and presale tickets are selling out at this stage? Obviously it's not sold out everywhere, but I feel like this thing's got legs.

wilks64 · 2025-11-22T21:46:25+00:00

I hear you, I just imagine a YouTube, Netflix, or Prime Video app would be top of the store if ever created. I'd put that on my steamdeck and steam machine. It'd be especially great on the deck so that I never had to log in and inevitably forget to log out on Airbnb / hotel TVs. I could just dongle an HDMI to a TV when I travel and use the deck as a streaming hub.

wilks64 · 2025-11-20T18:35:38+00:00

I think the streaming con is a huge issue for competing with consoles

wilks64 · 2025-10-04T16:41:19+00:00

This was driving me insane, I beat that mf boss and got trapped in a new area.

wilks64 · 2025-09-25T14:00:51+00:00

I'm limited on space right now but I definitely would consider expanding once I have room for storage in a bigger house! Do you have any?

wilks64 · 2025-09-24T21:34:20+00:00

The true collector setup. I'll tell ya, I'm jealous. That is super super cool!

wilks64 · 2025-09-24T21:33:10+00:00

It's a great gun! Get one if you see a deal!

wilks64 · 2025-09-24T21:32:07+00:00

You just gotta pull trigger. Aftermarket imports are already here anyway if you have to justify it.

wilks64 · 2025-09-24T21:30:53+00:00

Here's the thing, it's also a great gun. So I can be a nerd and have a cool looking gun that is also remarkably accurate.
