I'm sorry but Pokemon Franchise is bigger and  a worldwide Phenom far bigger thanSWS... An unlike SWS its stillgoing strong

 

Star Wars is still going strong. It's not just about the movies, there's also the cartoons, the comics, the merchandising etc...

I don't get how anyone could hate LiT.Sophia Coppola made me laugh (unintentionally) in Godfather II, but I find her to be a compelling, interesting director. Her and Sarah Polley.

Uncultured swines.

They are two huge phenomenons that shouldn't be compared. 

[Gopher]

Women directors for live-action film getting real work these days:

 

Kathryn Bigelow

Sofia Coppola 

Sarah Polley

Anne Fletcher

Catherine Hardwicke...

 

That's it?

Tf4 seems to hit 100M+ OW after all. I think this franchise really is the definition of critic-proof. The question now is whether it can top ROTF's 109M Friday-to-Sunday gross.

No Bay said it in the commentary

 

Nudity has no place in a Bay movie, nothing so clear cut and adult.  It needs to be more adolescent and pervy - aka almost looking up the too short skirts and short shorts riding up as your actress bends over an engine.

[Jack Nevada]

Btw Paula Patton in MI4 is one of the best female characters in a blockbuster since forever.

Not taking into consideration you are comparing a video game franchise to a movie franchise (although it's more now) I will bite and let you know this is completely wrong.Don't get me wrong Pokemon is huge, but it's no where near as massive as Star Wars. Star Wars is huge in merchandise, has tons of successful games and LEGO spin offs (Pokemon has spin offs but only the main games sell well). It's not very comparable, Star Wars trumps Pokemon in franchise size in every way, and I love both franchises.

Nudity ain't MURICAN.

sarah polley is really fantastic.(better filmmaker and actor too. her performance in The Sweet Hereafter = heartbreaking)

I am thrilled she's getting to do Looking for Alaska. I love the book. Away From Her was devestating without being overly sentimental/schmaltzy.She is super talented. Edited June 28, 2014 by WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot

Chewy, you need help.

Lone Ranger is a good movie

You mean 3.

They're actually making Looking For Alaska?I am now interested, I ended up loving TFiOS as a movie and LFA is a far better book. (It's more thematically relevant, lacks any schmaltzyness, it feels honest, it's an epitome of coming of age novels)

[reddevil18]

Lone Ranger is a good movie

One more point to my list:

[*]I fucking hate Depp.

Not every single Star Wars games is successful either and quite a few Pokemon spinoffs have sold well though.

I actually think Lone Ranger isn't that bad either. Sure it's not nearly as good as the first Pirates film, but I do think it's an average blockbuster.

Post the first Pirates movie, i agree. The best thing he's done since then was his cameo in 21 Jump Street.

Nah, he was rubbish in 21JS.
