The Chinese title is "Spy Grandpa", why did they call it "The Bodyguard" in English. So lame.

How can a movie possibly cost $800 million dollars? Could literally launch a rocket to Jupiter on that budget with a monkey in it.

Where did you get the $800 million number?

Most recent reports place it at around $400 million for the total budget.

Generally a movie has to make back twice its total budget to be in the black.

it's not that the movie costs 800 million it's that the studio doesn't get all the money from a movie (and they actually get less each successive week).

CineD absolutely loathes the idea of "female ghostbusters" and hated the trailer.

If the movie ends up sucking we may see CineD posts so lovely, trying to balance hatred and contrarianism, that it will surpass the awfulness of the TVIV Walking Dead season 2 and the CineD SW Prequels threads.

On the other hand, the theatrical trailer I saw that was attached to BvS was not anywhere near as horrible as the first trailer from a few weeks earlier.

At this pint, I can't see myself finding GB2016 more disappointing than BvS.

You thought of Borat instead of Welcome Back Kotter? I'm getting old.


Here's how you can tell that Wolper is a liberal strawman: He doesn't disagree with Batman, he just resents that Batman is necessary. In a later panel, the interviewer puts this question to Wolper, paraphrased: "If violent criminals aren't responsible for their actions, why doesn't that exemption apply to Batman, a violent criminal?" Wolper angrily responds "He knows exactly what he's doing! His sort of fascist always does."

I was raised in a Republican (though far from fanatical) household, and Wolper strikes me as an 80s-90s stereotype of how conservatives liked to imagine liberals think. He's a dressed-down, academic, government employee who blames society in general and harsh authority figures in particular for the woes of the marginalized. He justifies this with self-contradicting, pop-psych nonsense, but deep down he is himself a weak-willed neurotic who can't be responsible for himself; his "bleeding heart" compassion is false because it's just projecting his failings onto all humanity. He advocates a nanny state as a prescription for his own inadequacy.

Batman's a mentally ill, violent criminal. His enemies are mentally ill, violent criminals. But his enemies are "weak-egoed neurotics" who aren't responsible for their actions, whereas Batman is a "fascist" who manipulates the "public psyche" through the media. Batman has agency, his enemies don't.

Throughout DKR, ordinary citizens are portrayed as victims in need of protection, clueless bystanders, or petty assholes. In the end, Batman decides to "bring sense" to society with the help of a paramilitary force. A force he created from the lumpenproletariat by defeating their leader in a gladiatorial match, staged for their benefit so they'd know who's boss. (As I write this, the leading Republican presidential candidate is a WWE Hall of Famer.)

Wolper doesn't object to Batman being responsible for society. But he wants Batman to fix society's problems with hugs and cuddles, which is revealed as a naive fantasy when Wolper is gassed to death by the Joker. He and the Mayor are killed in a moment when they let their guard down.
