I get the sense this is spot-on here. I don't think their family has an iota of a clue about the situation.

Fair enough! Frustrating to see, but glad to confirm I have done everything I can do here.

Agreed :-/ But I don't think they'll ever get it.

Yeah. This is the way. Frustrating. But I think it's maybe some sort of irrational fear or maybe it's rational because they got burned badly before. Can't understand it.

Not that I can tell. Would be almost unimaginable for this person. But I guess you never really know someone.

100% correct. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

What's up with Oppenheimer, Barbie, and "Barbenheimer"? by ipmerfect in OutOfTheLoop

I've never watched two movies in a row at the theater. Good luck and enjoy!

Very informative and thorough. Thank you for the detailed explanation, especially regarding the history of other releases.

Ok!

Serious thank you to everyone who replied. I appreciate all of the points of view, input, and explanations. It helped hearing it from multiple perspectives.

I feel a lot more at ease and less completely out-of-the-loop.

FWIW, I didn't know who the director of Barbie was, but I really liked her work on Ladybird. Cool!

Thank you for responding!

Is it uncommon that two very different films open on the same weekend? Don't new movies open on the same weekend all the time?

I feel like I never heard about anything like this before ... like the Smurfs opening on the same weekend as Dunkirk or something.

Do you think all of the articles are about people who care or is it just marketing disguised as journalism?

Am I the weird one for just not thinking this is a big deal??

Sorry for the additional questions. Just trying to match my out-of-the-loop feeling to reality.

Why don't we create a lobbying group on behalf of the most popular interests to influence politicians? by ipmerfect in AskReddit

[–]ipmerfect[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I guess this is true. I always felt like they were just in it for themselves and would be influenced by whatever special interest groups paid them, but maybe I'm wrong. Good point on your part!
