  1. I am not a TA hater. I thought the movie was awesome. But it's domestic totals like this and TDK's that discredit the beauty of a run like Titanic's. It's a little upsetting. More so for TA because it passed Titanic's original run.Had it not been for the Titanic re-release, I'd have to read stupid articles that say stuff like The Avengers is the second most successful film in history, domestically, outperforming the now, 3rd place, Titanic. Which is crap because Titanic is the best run of all time. I'll take Avatar eclipsing it because that movie's run was magical too, but TDK and TA, not so much.Anyway, I'm shutting up now and letting us go back to talking about Pixar kicking ass.

    No one with half a brain thinks TA is having a better run than frickin' Titanic. Still, box office runs like TA don't come along too often... you should enjoy it.
  2. Every time a fantasy/action film with a strong female protagonist opens to huge numbers, my hopes of a Wonder Woman film actually happening get higher. The Hunger Games, SWATH and Brave prove --again-- that audiences are not averse to seeing women kick ass. It's crap like Catwoman, Aeon Flux, and Elektra --the movies being crap, not the concept of a woman as an action hero--what turns audiences off.

    I'm wondering whether TA (and perhaps Spidey) pulling in so many females might lead to a Wonder Woman movie.

    If the $7.4m prediction comes true for TA, these guys need to up their final total prediction. It could fly past $610m.
  4. I like The Phantom Menace (for nostalgia, if nothing else), but I'd be perfectly content with some sort of director's cut that completely omits Jar Jar.

    Lucas will never make a director's cut that omits Jar Jar. He only changes his movies for the worse.

  5. The Magnificent Ambersons. RKO hated Orson Welles' version so much they cut the last 45 miniutes, burned the negatives, and then got someone else to shoot a new happy ending that was totally out of place with the rest of the film.

  6. Did you know that chocolate is the symbol of love??I friggen love The Room too. Life would be a whole lot darker if it didn't exist.

    Hi doggy!It seems to me that you're the expert, Mark!I did naht hit her, it's not true! It's bullshit! I did naht hit her!If you think I'm tired today, wait until you see me tomorrow.- I could go on and on. This has to be the most quotable movie of all time.
