Where do we get the L-shaped blankets?

The top 2 movies this year were not sequels, reboots, or remakes:

www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2023/?ref_=bo_yl_table…

1 Barbie $635,171,975

2 The Super Mario Bros. Movie $574,934,330

2 more in the top 10:

5 Oppenheimer $323,715,325

10 Sound of Freedom $184,038,874

So 4 out of the top 10, including the top 2 are new to film.

Not bad… The reason the Creator didn’t do well is that it’s apparently not very good:

User reviews are trash. Most people have no idea what makes a movie “good” or “bad”.

2 hours seems normal to me, but I could definitely see it as you get closer to three.

Hateful Eight had one and that was 2 hours 55 minutes.

I bet the internet has a list of movies with intermissions:

(looked, lots of lists, but not correlated with run times)

Cleopatra was almost 4 damn hours!

I dunno, surely you would have heard of Everything Everywhere All At Once due to the Oscar wins.

Around here at least both The Green Knight and Marcel the Shell With Shoes On were heavily advertised. So was First Cow now that I think about it.

That Everything Everywhere All At Once, the most action oriented and commercial of their releases, made more money than virtually all their other releases COMBINED.

Waiting for a film version of the Chrononauts comic book. They just went all out “fuck causality!” and RAN with it. It’s quite literally insane.

Surprisingly deep for a movie based on a plastic doll. It had a lot to say, not only about Barbie, but the state of modern American men as well.

Ken doesn’t know where he fits in in the world and ends up filling that void with toxicity. It’s like they held up a mirror to the Incel universe.

You can make it either way depending on your preference. By default they will be chunky, but you certainly could mash them before adding tte topping and baking.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they have more than one. I transcribed this off the TV show probably 15 or 20 years ago now.

Had to run this through Google translate which is imperfect.

Panel 1:
“What are you building there?”

“Sorry, this can disrupt the mobile telephone.”

Panel 2:
“For what? Any security project?”

“Security? No, this is for the garden.”

Panel 3:
"Because what’s creepier than no reception?

Panel 4:
“You are the crazy monster.”

“I only care for real horror.”

Doesn’t seem like most of those are ACTUALLY horror movies… that may be the problem there…
