You both make good points. I do think what made Avatar 10 legs worthy is less so this time around. There's more familiarity. Fortunately even with a $1 billion combined budget and with costly advertising, my guess is $2.7billion is needed to break even. The trilogy will make JC even richer.
haha. Granted, I will see Pixar movies in a heartbeat because they appeal to all ages. However, from what I've seen of Frozen, I think I'm outside the target demographic (mid 30s and wrong gender too).
Wait for DVD
Frozen
Walter Mitty
Saving Mr. Banks
47 Ronin
Must Sees
Catching Fire - done
Smaug - done
American Hustle - done
Anchorman 2 - done
Wolf of Wall Street - not yet
The last time I saw the first Anchorman was several years ago so after seeing the sequel I was reminded how its humor was an acquired taste. Anchorman is not for everyone. With that said, there are enough laughs for the GA to enjoy but I don't anticipate much mainstream success. I don't see $100m. I think Steve Carrell's character is hit and miss. The big battle scene is very silly. Some of the jokes fell a bit flat. With that said, I enjoyed the movie and would give it a B-
Not nauseating in a literal sense but I did cringe at the whipping scene in 12 Years a Slave. Come to think of it, there was this French film where a woman is fingering herself while on her period. I did get a little nausea from that.
You're right, the ending of Ratatouille and Toy Story 2 were fantastic.
I would like to replace the above-mentioned Toy Story 3 scene with the Monsters Inc ending as my favorite Pixar scene.

I'm referring to Batman/Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark/Iron Man can play older in my opinion. Michael Keaton/George Clooney/Val Kilmer were 36-38 when they played Batman. Ben Affleck will be about 43. I think mid-30s is about right.
