    Anybody rooting for this?

    I loved the books as a kid, and if they are able to capture the same silly, self-deprecating humor from the books, I would be happy. I'm just not sure if this will be something that audiences will turn into a big hit, especially with two big animated features coming after it, and it not being popular with the kids today...actually, are they still making new books?

    Haha, I didn't say he (and by proxy me) don't see them, just that they don't interest me. Also, for whatever strange reason, he doesn't want to see MOANA. Have no idea why. 

    He's in that "girl movies are yucky" phase. No worries, he'll grow out of it in a couple of years. ;)

    This generation has Megan Ellison, who might be even better.

    And yet, Bob and Harvey made a bunch of shitty movies also and were a nightmare to work for. Ellison has better taste (subjective, I know) and the good sense to find quality filmmakers and let them do their thing. Different eras, different strengths.

    Arrival is amazing. If there were any justice in this box office world, it would have expanded its theatre count, increased its per-theatre average, and topped $30 million this weekend.
