Throw Christian Bale in there and we got ourselves Batman 3.

Thinking about it further - hypothetically, avclub could've just found some random clip that has the Inception trailer as the opening advertisement. I mean, we would be getting the same thing and wouldnt have to wait.

Awesome - its quite difficult to wade through the thousands of app store games to find a good one, it'll be nice to have avclub help with that.

Nice column, but app store?
You guys need to get an iphone or ipod touch. Im excited for this column, but you cant keep ignoring the app store, especially if you are reviewing cheap/free games.

WTF
Why would we need to watch a commercial before seeing a movie trailer?

Totally disagree
The movie adequately shows that traditional therapy is not for Will and that he needs to connect with someone who understands him - the fact that Robin Williams is also both brilliant and had been beaten isn't some deus ex machina - half the movie is spent finding the character.

Your math is a little off there, Totz.

For some reason, those in the rap world (see Jay Z, others) think there is nothing on earth cooler than "retiring" when they are young and rich. So, they tell us all that the are retiring. They tell us that they are retired. Then, they record a new album and go on tour.

Jackie Brown, in a walk? Im a fan of it myself, but outside of this thread Im not sure Ive ever heard people claim the film was better than Pulp Fiction.

It had an average dropoff, which I was surprised with, yes.

I wasnt suggesting that people dont want to see quality movies. I was suggesting that many people will choose something that looks pretty awful as long as it is familiar, as opposed to something unfamiliar that is supposed to be great.

Surprised at the large District 9 drop
Considering the secretive viral marketing campaign leading up to D9's release, I figured the positive word of mouth combined with more light shed upon the interesting plot would lead to a very small drop in D9's second week. I expect movies like Transformers 2 and Wolverine to…

I was basing it on a older Hater item which mocked a trailer of … Old Dogs with Robin Williams and John Travolta. It wasnt whatever this movie is. How do you expect me to differentiate the two!?

I didnt get it either - then checked wikipedia. Apparently Singer is openly gay. Weird that I had never heard that before.

I saw this great movie last night. You know the one about the newspaper tycoon? And his horse? It was so great. What was it called?

Zodiac just LithgOWNed all your asses.

J arthur = its not the theater. Im not an expert, but I worked for a theater and had a minor look at the revenue. We received about 5o cents per tickets sold, the rest was concessions.

"Despite a shaky start and the presence of questionable elements throughout, by the time it arrives at its finale—which copies Return Of The Jedi's triple-climax structure—The Phantom Menace has won its place alongside the original Star Wars trilogy. "

Hey Nathan!
You just took Amelie TO TASK.

It would be crazy to claim that he didnt know how to put Pulp Fiction into a normal narrative, so he just opted to not have a normal narrative. The movie was so fantastic that it didnt matter, but it wont always work.
