People aren't anywhere near as familiar with Through the Looking Glass, though, so there was always going to be a drop. But a 75% drop is pretty astounding. So, yeah, I have to think cashing in sooner would have worked out much better. Now it just completely has the stink of afterthought.

The Avatar wave doesn't entirely explain Alice. You don't open over 100 mil and close over 300 mil only because of good timing. It also had that Tim Burton-Johnny Depp collab magic, which doesn't always work, but it does when combined with a property that people already know and love.

How about when the Girl Scouts ask Pierce if they've seen a Chinese kid?

I want to set a show in 2400 and cast only invisible actors.

Whoa! Huge slam on C-Webb out of nowhere!

5/24/16 MOVIE TRIVIA RECAP
It's the Muppets Round! That's right, this week's guest section was all about Jim Henson's creations. And I pretty much aced it. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to put me into contention, especially since I couldn't find any traction in the John C. Reilly Super Chunks. I love the guy, but I…

I've only been watching since Season 7, but I'd probably go:
