A bit of math that makes Cloud Atlas's gross not look so bad: it did have the highest per-theater-average of any film playing in over 20 theaters. And considering it most likely had 30-50% less showtimes than anything else playing due to its length, its per-showing average was probably even more comparatively…

From what I've heard, it's sort of what they wanted to make. They wanted to do Second Renaissance as a full-length live-action feature and make Reloaded and Revolutions as one movie. WB didn't want to give the greenlight to a prequel that didn't have any of the original cast so they condensed it into an Animatrix…

I'd say the stuff it does well it does great enough to be good. If they had seriously improved the pacing, I might even go so far as to call it great.

Now they're "Wachowski Starship." No, really. Look it up.

@avclub-8adc83a4252503bdddcc1ecf539b2904:disqus The focus of the show's on depression with a heaping of PTSD, but the characters have varied psychological profiles.

Oh, they knew HBO and the kind of content that was allowed in its shows. It's my mom's friend Robert's fault; he works for HBO, and he just had to sell the show to us, knowing we were a family that was pretty R rating-friendly (my parents were OK with us watching, say, most of HBO's Tenacious D specials, to give an…
