So this will be her Pelican Brief, eh? Man, can you imagine the heights Julia Roberts would have reached if back in the late eighties/nineties, The Hunger Games books had been a thing?

I read the spoilers and I don't get it either. Doesn't seem like a particularly egregious twist. I actually think it makes the film even more intense and heartbreaking.

Hmm. BATB is for little girls, and yet everyone seems to love it. ;-) Seriously, nothing wrong in wanting to see PR as an adult...

You did? I could have sworn you loved it!!

All these complaints about lack of originality and cloning, yet you have expressed your adoration of the BATB remake, which is truly, hideously lacking a single original atom. OK.

Finally...a film that puts Scarlett's awfully monotone "acting" to good use.

Or Kevin Hart and Ryan Gosling.

BATB grossed 200 m in 4 days? That must be some kind of record, right?

Any chance of Hidden Figures passing The Help’s total domestic gross?

I agree; the 1991 animated classic BATB is a million times better than any of those.

I lived in Puerto Rico when Batman89 came out and the local media was obsessed with it. Almost all local sitcoms referenced the film and the character, and local variety shows had Batman-themed skits constantly. And I have never seen so many people on the streets wearing Batman t-shirts, not even in our current CBM golden age. It was fricking insane.

I remember Titanicmania. Before that, the one film I recall being an all-encompassing pop culture force was Batman 89. It was inescapable all over; a true phenomenon (like Titanic.)

Huge difference between calling audiences idiots (which I never did) and saying that they fell for nostalgia. We have all done that.

Cool. Again, I apologize for my idiotic posts. I can certainly admit I acted like an idiot. I guess it’s not worth to fight over silly stuff. Thanks for understanding, and also, sorry if I came across as trying to tell you how to act. It was stupid, man. Anyway, have a great day. Can I ask a [silly] question? What do you think, of the upcoming blockbusters, will be the next one to break out in bigger-than-expected ways? GITS? WW? PR?
