Reading reviews, I kind of think my Trump-loving dad could like this?
Most certainly not, if the early script was any indication of the finished product.

What "race conscious," "socially aware" film would get a bad review these days?
None. This may stay at 100% and it's not because of anything to do with the quality of the film.
I read an early script for this and the ending twist/plot point is so ridiculous, it's hard to believe.

Carol is a great movie.
If you like watching silly, melodramatic face-making for 2 hrs.
I did like some of the period detail, though.

Felicity Jones' overbite >>> 3some with Emma Stone and Amy Adams
Amy Adams' legs are underrated.

I am one of the biggest Star Wars fans out there and I really didn't think it was going to have this much interest in it either. It does have someone of a chance to go to 600 million. That is just astounding to me.
It's definitely resonating with the public.
I thought it was good, but not great (though I could watch ****mod edit**** spoilers not allowed). However, when the film ended, there was substantial applause, which surprised me and convinced me this would have strong WOM.

'LOL
You Lawrence loons are hilarious.
She is a mediocre starlet who lucked into two franchises and into the good graces of a director who is as overrated as she is.
She also happend to be entitled,brattyand immature.
This film tanking is proof that she can't open non-franchise stuff.
30 million over six days? Wasn't her name alone supposed to bring in close to 60 million over the same period?
Lawrence was fantastic in Winter's Bone (still her best performance).
But her varying accent in American Hustle was laughably bad.

Would you take issue if a man said the same things?
Between this and "no one will see La La Land because Emma Stone is too skinny," you're on a roll these days.
If some lefty guy tried to market a film by repeatedly trashing the other side, absolutely. It was a stupid strategy and the film is bombing in a most entertaining way.
And if you don't think the Emma Stone of today is much, much sicklier skinny than she was in Superbad, then your eyes aren't working.
Just google "Emma Stone" and "skinny" or "weight loss."

La La Land making more in 200 theaters than Manchester by the Sea in over 6 times as many.
Remember when @Christmas Baumer said it wouldn't even make $30M in total?
I am planning on seeing Manchester, but every article about it says how depressing it is. Maybe that's discouraging people from going.
And maybe some of the info about Casey Affleck and the sexual assaults is getting out there more?

I usually don't root against movies but damn this bomb makes me so happy. Tweet about that, Chastain!
That #nastywomen marketing strategy worked gangbusters!
I never realized that Chastain was so harshly partisan. Both her and the marketing basically said "F*** off" to half the country.

I see Miss Sloane is getting pretty good WOM.
Only an 80% drop.

Really wonder how WOM will be on Rouge One?
The first 2/3 just dragged and dragged. Acting was awful, as well, imo.
But that last 1/3 was terrific.

No, that's secondary.

Good. Chastain's twitter account is turning everyone off.
I had never looked at it before.
Wow, she is insufferable. Nagging, hectoring and lecturing...the stereotypical liberal Hollywood celeb telling everyone else what to think. Her entire existence amounts being offended and being bitter about politics.

I always thought Curb was much funnier than Seinfeld.

Elle...well....great. It really is something else.
They seemed to have banked on a Clinton win and was going to use this film to promote some new gun control agenda.
Besides the hilarious twitter appeal to Hillary fans (hashtag "Nasty Woman" lol), I saw an ad with the tagline "The Movie the NRA doesn't want you to see!"
This movie wasn't even marketed as a movie. It was championed as a left-wing, anti-gun diatribe.
-
I see Miss Sloane's advertising strategy of targeting Hillary Clinton supporters on Twitter did just about as well as Hillary's campaign strategy in the Rust Belt.

The twitter marketing has been to Clinton supporters.

It's all about stanning for their favorites, I guess
This honestly has all of the ingredients to become a pop culture/zeitgeist film the same way Juno did. Once everyone else here has actually seen it, they'll understand.
If you want people to see this, comparing it to Juno isn't the best idea. People hate that film now and Diablo Cody is already a has-been.

Because she's anorexic, right?
Where's the Amazing Amy from Gone Girl when you really need her?
Because she's not attractive in the least, imo. Maybe I'll be wrong and guys will flock to this. We'll see.
I did like her in Superbad, House Bunny and Zombieland, though. She seemed much less "Hollywood" then.

And why would teenage girls be uninterested in LLL? Obviously it wouldn't be for every girl out there, but it's a romantic musical about having dreams, looks to be highly gif-able and has Emma Stone wearing a succession of pretty, colorful dresses...or by teen audience, does that really mean "boys"?
I'm sure there are some teenage girls who will go to see Ryan Gosling.
Will any boys go to see Emma Stone? No.

The audiences going to see that aren't there to see some overly skinny actress. They could not care less about anorexic, emaciated, sickly Emma Stone. They just liked the idea of an old-fashioned musical.
And even I didn't think it was that bad, outside of the terrible, out of place opening freeway number.
