The Help slayed at the box office. It's remarkable.

I didn't realize there were dueling Snow White projects. Heh.
"Snow White" Scribe Talks The Rivalry

Quote:
"Ours is not dark. I mean, I know Snow White and the Huntsman is very intense, and lots of chain mail, and armor, and Kristen Stewart has a sword. Ours is an adventure, ours is funny — it's a comedic adventure! And there's some great action in it. It's stunningly gorgeous, and it's fun ... Ours will be PG or PG-13, and the other one will probably be a R. We don't know yet. But ours is nothing like theirs" says Keller.
May the least terrible win!

***

1. Contagion $22.4M
2. The Help $8.93M
3. Warrior $5.24M
4. The Debt $4.77M
5. Colombiana $3.95M

Movie studios are so disgustingly greedy.

Quote:
Sony Pictures suggested in letters sent the last few days to U.S. theater owners that they adopt a "guest ownership model" prevalent in Europe and Australia and charge patrons separately for the glasses, which they can re-use on future visits.
This is ridiculous. I've been avoiding 3D shows for a while so I guess I'll continue to do so.

So first the studios are forcing 3D on us and now we have to pay for those glasses? God I hate 3D movies, only a very few movies need to be seen in 3D.

First they remake Arthur and Footloose and now Dirty Dancing?

WTF?

This is just wrong, very wrong. What's next remaking The Breakfast Club or Pretty in Pink?

Perfectly worded. Not only are they shoving unnecessary 3D down our throats, they want us to pay for the glasses. Incredible.

The Breakfast Club remake would probably be a disgrace. *shivers*
