People comparing the box office of BOOKSMART from 2019 and SUPERBAD from 2007 are missing something kinda key about the time in which those films were released.

I have young children, so I can't watch as much as I want, but some of my favorite things I didn't work on released in 2022 are BARBARIAN, TAR, AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER, PREY, and most of all, RRR, the only film I have seen in theaters more than twice in more than 20 years.

There are correct ways to watch certain movies. Maybe ROMA is on the big screen. It is not in dispute, however, that the best way to watch DADDY'S HOME 2 is over someone's shoulder as they watch it on an airplane

You think he looks cool because he paid people to make him look cool. He used the entire resources of state and empire to make himself look cool to future generations. And meanwhile millions of people died, because peace amongst equals was alien to him.
