    Pretty quiet week before Christmas around southern California. Just rumors that James Gunn is going to be fired by Time/Warner/DC/HBO/Google/Apple ..whoever the hell runs that place now. Todd Phillips was supposed to run DC instead but that fell through and Gunn was Plan B. Allegedly.

    Also, the streets are flowing red with the blood of Disney executives in the wake of the financial disaster that is Avatar 2. Even though the film 2x the original's opening and appears to be on track for at least $600 million domestic. It captured 95% of the Chinese box office returns this weekend, but with the lockdowns for COVID continuing throughout China it looks like the worldwide business will take a significant hit. Poor Disney may have to make due with only a billion and a half dollars. Stock for the Mouse House is at a low since March 2020.

    But other than that, Mrs Lincoln enjoyed the play.

        Probably shouldn't wait 13 yrs to release a 2nd movie. Opposite problem of Star Wars over saturation. No one cares about Avatar anymore.

          No...that was clickbait. It does need I believe a billion if you factor in advertising.

          And I will bet money it doesn't hit $600 million domestic. It won't have the same "I need to watch it eleventy times!!!"effect because 3D is played out and the story (from what AA fans are even saying) mostly is meh. In an era of blockbusters every 12 seconds Avatar is pase...

          And James Gunn is not getting fired if anyone seriously is saying that they are dumber than Elon Musk.

              Watched What About Bob this morning at work. Still funny, even if parts of it are outdated.

                I Love You, Alice B. Toklas, B-

                Both Sellers and Leigh Taylor-Young portray essentially likeable people, and some of the supporting actors, and I think there is more to this than first appears. It definitely didn't fully capture what it set out to like Harold and Maude, but even as a miss it is interesting like Hair.

                In fact this is a rare movie without any negative characters. Some are (very) annoying, but everyone has a good heart. The dramatic obstacle is either Man vs World or Man vs Self.

                  The Venn Diagram of people who say James Gunn will be fired and that Kathleen Kennedy would be fired five years ago is a circle.

                      Isn’t that quote from saving Silverman? Was also in what about Bob??

                        Mookie also caught everything everywhere at all the time (close to the actual title). That was all over the place, but enjoyed it.

                          Geez, I started reading this post and I thought for a moment I had accidentally stumbled into the medical thread.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            No it is only from What About Bob. It is the excuse Bob gives for why he got divorced...

                            Saving Silverman is a love letter to my man Neil though!

                              Peacock app now has Bros and Ticket to Paradise streaming.

                              bros is actually quite funny.

                              ticket to paradise is embarrassing
