And then there's another Jungle Book film coming out in a few years directed by Andy Serkis?

Concussion was good.

the japanese need to up their preview game

It's weird to see all the high production value on everything but the title character.

Speaking of previews - I've grown to be annoyed by most of them. I used to look forward to them, but last ten years or so it's like I can predict all the beats they're going to hit ahead of time. Best thing I saw in a trailer the past year was Rey's speeder crossing in front of the crashed Star Destroyer.

Extreme example, but I wish they could go this direction a little:

i agree with you for the most part. seems these days too much is given away in the trailer. BvS immediately comes to mind. Do i need to see that movie now that i've seen everything revealed in the preview? This to be the norm these days. leave a little to the imagination since you know, that is what a previewed is intended for.

The Jungle Book looks great. I'm happy to see good reviews.

Concussion was good.

it really was. if we're talking oscar snubs, i think a case could be made for will smith.

i'd love to see all the footage that the NFL had cut out of the movie

Would appealing to millennials involve allowing texting or cellphone use?

Yes. When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear please cut off your left arm above the elbow. You can’t tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That’s not how they live their life.

At the same time, though, we’re going to have to figure out a way to do it that doesn’t disturb today’s audiences. There’s a reason there are ads up there saying turn off your phone, because today’s moviegoer doesn’t want somebody sitting next to them texting or having their phone on.

Would you have a certain section for texting?

That’s one possibility. What may be more likely is we take specific auditoriums and make them more texting friendly.
