    Yeah, let's complain about the fact that stuff isn't bad enough due to the recession.

    The recession is one reason this movie has done so well. It's pure escapism. It's how I normally like my movies.

      Escapism is exactly it. The movie industry didn't do too badly in the 1930's either. Lots of big movies came out that decade.

        True dat. The original KING KONG did gangbusters despite The Great Depression because people wanted to find some way to escape the miserable world of the real. I still get a kick out of it when I hear my Mom talk about how she and her folks went to see KK for, I think, a dime at the time, but how much her father enjoyed it even though it was eating into their household budget.

              Great Movie, but there's no point arguing over if it's better or worse than any other as we all have different tastes. "Can You Read My Mind " makes me wanna scream and therefore knocks that movie down a peg, from my point of view. Not that it amtters to it's fans. we all enjoy what we enjoy and sometimes it's the same thing, sometime it's not. That's Life.
