  1. Wildly irresponsible on Nolan's part if the phrase "different stages of life" isn't repeated every time they're together.
  2. Back when we were doing the Zoom group watches, @MrPink treated us to Swordfish and some of us have never been the same.
  3. Animated films do better on summer weekdays than PG-13 live action blockbusters. Then they typically have smaller increases on Friday and Saturday.

  6. Because nothing says risk-taking like desperate brand extension. If you want to take risks you do what Spielberg and Lucas did in 1980 and create your own iconic character.
  7. Know it sounds crazy but maybe the guy who made the movie knows what should be in his movie and why.
  8. I know this is a hip new international diverse Academy but I'll believe in them going all in on a chilly uncompromising Jonathan Glazer movie when I see it.
  9. Looked it up. He retroactively regrets passing on Batman simply because he missed a chance to become a Nolan regular. (But now he's in Oppenheimer, so all's well that ends well.) On Superman, all he's got is stuff like this: Which you'd think you know without my help if you really cared about what your boy has to say instead of what could have been 20 years ago.
  10. I am shocked, shocked to find that World of Reel was posting unreliable info
  11. 67.39 was Frozen's opening weekend in wide release. It played in 1 theater the week before.
