Why is always everyone assuming the heroine needs a hero to be fully filled?

Speaking of TITANIC Ruimy at least states the movie belongs to his nine top-tier movies in terms of quality of the billion dollar club (just beaten by "The Dark Knight"). Critic Richard Brody on the other hand thinks Barbie is the best and Titanic sucks calling it "an unoriginal dinosaur" 😄 Yeah well otherwise than the dinosaurs Titanic is still very much alive belong many fans LOL Let's see if BARBIE will have the same impact in 25 years. Richard Brody: ‘Barbie’ is the Best Movie to Ever Cross the Billion-Dollar Mark The New Yorker’s Richard Brody is a top-notch film writer, but his tastes can veer towards total and utter bewilderment. Yesterday, I wrote about how he believed that the Spike Lee remake of “Oldboy” was better than the original. He also abides by the church of mumblecore. He believes it’s this generation’s nouvelle vague. Let us not forget to mention his unadorned infatuation for Eddie Murphy’s “Norbit.” Brody’s latest hot take is not his worst, but it’s far from being one of his best. He’s a big fan of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and believes it is the best movie to have ever crossed the billion dollar worldwide mark at the box-office: “Whatever the virtues of Titanic (very minor, in my view), it's an artistic dinosaur, completely unoriginal and backwards-looking in form and style. Impressive technique, trivial artistry […] The point is that Barbie is the *best* movie to cross the billion-dollar line.” “Barbie” was the 53rd movie in history to hit the billion dollar mark (not counting inflation). Only one other 2023 title has made more money than Gerwig’s film and that’s “Super Mario Bros.” For a film to make over $1 billion at the box-office it has to adhere to mainstream tastes and not be too creative risk-taking — you don’t want to isolate the viewed, but, rather, coddle then with familiarity. The fact that Gerwig’s “Barbie” has made this much money is some kind of miracle as it doesn’t necessarily play it safe. It is, however, very invested in its own identity as mass-marketed product placement. It’s a mix of art and blatant consumerism. One look at the list of 53 movies that made $1 billion and you instantly understand why Brody would think “Barbie” is the best one of the lot. I’ve counted only nine top-tier movies, in terms of quality, to have achieved this box-office feat: “The Dark Knight,” “Titanic,” “Toy Story 3,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” “Joker,” “Skyfall,” “Jurassic Park,” “Avengers: Endgame,” and “Zootopia”

Just because nothing is going on right now and because she looks freakin gorgeous.... Rose gettin ready for her big life changing night 🌹💫 I bet she already knew he's a game changer (also love the way she looks at him) Hands down one of the most beautiful and powerful moments in female cinema history

Unused cover art for the 2012 bluray Final cover Maybe it's just me but I like the 1rst one much better.

True 😄

BM was a drama. RW&RB is a queer romcom. Is it predictable and cliché? Hell yes. But straight rom coms are predictable and cliché every time and no one is complaining about it.

Sweet and fun. Sometimes hot. Maybe not Call me by your name level of hot but their Paris "making love" scene was... quite exceptional. Also this? Movie quote of the year!!

Guesses say strikes will end between october and early 2024.

Indiewire August Predix 2024 Oscars: Best Actor Predictions Leonardo DiCaprio and Cillian Murphy are the first to garner awards buzz while audiences wait to see big releases built around performances from Oscar favorites like Joaquin Phoenix and Bradley Cooper. The State of the Race These days, the main subject of conversation about the upcoming Best Actor Oscar race is all about Leonardo DiCaprio, star of the long-awaited Martin Scorsese film “Killers of the Flower Moon” (Apple Original Films/Paramount Pictures). Throughout the film’s lengthy development, it was unclear whether “The Revenant” actor was actually the lead of the film or serving in a supporting role (Jesse Plemons’ FBI man plays a more prominent role in the David Grann bestseller).
