Why do I fall in love with Emma Stone every time I see a picture of her?

My prediction for La La Land's legs:

Because maybe she is the loveliest life-form on planet earth? 

 

Just saying...

You are drinking at a party, thinking about if a movie will make millions that you will not at all partake? Oh my...

After 9 days of holiday play has Passengers reached Gravity's first 3 days yet?

Her and Naomi Watts for me. 

 

Emma Stone is the most elegant lady imaginable. Naomi Watts, even though not quite perfect, has a certain warmth about her. I love her as well!

Does it need to?  Gravity opened in a barren marketplace with fantastic reviews and Bullock headlining it.  I get it, you don't want Passengers to succeed, but it's still doing well for a film with terrible marketing and terrible reviews.

Gravity was such a masterpiece! I was in total disbelief when sitting through it. How can a movie starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock be so astonishingly awesome! One of my all-time favorites! 

 

Edit: If Gravity starred JLaw and Chris Pratt, it would have made $400M or something crazy like that!

You're like a broken record.

The last time a Bullock picture got critically drubbed the way Passengers did it became Our Brand Is In Crisis and made 8 million dollars total. 

 

Didn't like Gravity. But a hit is a hit. Thing is Passengers is still poised to make over $100 million. What would have happened if it had been better received? There was a lot of potential for a big hit.

Bullock knocked her first starring vehicle out of the park (While You Were Sleeping) and proved she could sell tickets. JenniFad hasn't done it yet

The Passengers stans as well as detractors are amazing. Passengers will end up doing as much as Dragon Tattoo, and I don't remember either Mara or Craig being draws. Holiday legs help movies basically.

I am not gonna doubt Bullock's appeal for a second here, but that was a different time then. Now Hollywood stars are less relevant than ever.

Was The Hunger Games not her first starring vehicle?  Didn't that make 400M domestic?

Speed! 

 

One of the first movies I ever saw in a theater! Easily the best Die Hard knock-off.
