This again? Some dweebs just don't know when to quit.
She'll say "can I cook or can't I" at some point in the movie, in all likelyhood.
Another one of these? Yeesh.
Try spinning, that's a good trick.
It just begs the question: If the Star Wars galaxy is so vast, why focus on the same stuff over and over (and over) again?
Give us something new and unique, maybe a thrilling story perhaps? Now THAT would be fan service!

Vaughn had goddamn well better be directing this, that's all I can say.
The director was always going to be picked from the 'B List', so ditto to Chris Nolan, Spielberg, Del Toro et al. If this doesn't go to Vaughn it'll end up with Brad Bird, Duncan Jones or Gary Ross or alike. They'll take Marvel's method of casting medium-range directors to type.
Duncan Jones is probably the most realistic lock for director here. He's fresh, he's low cost and low maintenance therefore the studio will lap him up. They'll go for the newer/less renowned talent for this. Just remember, Irvin Kirshner wasn't a big hitter before Empire.
Hyperbole much?
It seems Cameron is becoming the Obama of future film hype.
"We've got these great ideas that will be awesome"
So, when will we see them?
"Well, we're working on them, you'll see them soon. Honestly!"
Most reviewers having a basic understanding of the context of the film they're reviewing is not simply a pre-requisite, it's crucial. WishingW3L hit it on the head in regard to IGN.
Wasn't Radioactive Man in The Simpsons?
"defying what we're used to seeing in a studio film"
Cloud Atlas is an independent film. Distributed, but not in any way made, by Warner Bros. It was financed entirely by third party financiers outside of Hollywood.
Perhaps he should do some research next time?
Well, at least they'll be over with.
Why would anyone include Despicable Me in this set?!
Despicable Me wasn't even the best film in its opening week.
The frame rate issue was an issue with the cameras in low lighting. You'll notice in Public Enemies and Collateral that the footage looks like 24fps film in broad daylight but looks like cheap video at nightime. This is because of the digital cameras not being able to cope with low light levels, thus there is a blurring effect caused by the 360 degree shutter angle (on the Red cameras).
It's odd, as so many movies have been shot on digital since then and look fine in ...
Of course, it's not as if moving a film away from minimal competittion into an arena swimming with competittion poses any risks, right?
I know Warners will play the Hobbit as their excuse card. But Sherlock Holmes made plenty of money despite opening alongside Avatar. Go figure.
This list missed out 'Bane's Earthquake Machine'
LOL, they've changed the first shot of Bilbo smoking. Now there is no smoke. Some puritanicals probably complained about second hand pipe smoke.
Becuase it's not about the story, it's about making a product that ensures healthy business, if Marvel go through four 'Phases' before making 'the grand finale', they'll make four more after that.
