Not quite the same, probably, but his wife is still running his web site and has posted her list of the Top 10-ish films of 2023. https://www.rogerebert.com/chazs-blog/chaz-eberts-top-ten-films-of-2023

You don't think 8 nominations, third most among all films, is that acknowledgement? Seems pretty high praise to me with a lot of voters selecting it above other films.

Even then, if it wasn't the same 10 Directors from the 10 BP's, everyone would still be bitchin' about who was snubbed. ;)

Kind of like the pointless Billboard or People's Choice Awards that all go to the biggest, most popular titles of the year.

Because in olden times those tickets cost 50 cents and today's can cost up to $20 or more.

Rob Thomas claimed he was OK with it.

It seems to be the first film in a while that has a soundtrack with pop songs written specifically for the movie. Soundtrack songs used to be a big thing back in the 80's, but it seems like that hasn't been done much over the last few decades. They tried last year with the Maverick soundtrack...

I saw plenty of TV advertising for Ruby Gillman. It just wasn't a story that was that interesting compared to other choices in the marketplace.

This is one of those insanely popular things I just don't "get". I've seen the trailers and everything, but you couldn't force me at gunpoint to watch this movie.

Especially since Ken is completely lacking certain "equipment". Short movie, in more ways than one.

Sad, but I think there's a lot of people uninterested in Geriatric Jones even if they were fans of the earlier films. I'd be much more excited if they'd recast and started a new chapter. Haven't decided yet if I'll see the new one in the theater or just wait for home video. To paraphrase Agent...

Wikipedia has this list of known ticket sales, though I'm still a bit skeptical that some of the modern films would have sold more tix than some popular classic films that were re-released repeatedly to theaters for decades. I'd imagine accurate ticket sales figures are hard to come by before...

I think a lot of people are going to wonder why they'd make a Barbie movie that's NOT for kids.

It will be interesting to see if the mass audience makes all those connections. I'm thinking many will not.

I guess I didn't realize until now Will Ferrell is in this. It's now dead to me.

Mattel is also not going to let them go too far out of mainstream with their IP. I'm not sure if PG or PG-13 makes a huge difference to anyone these days, except maybe younger kids who may see PG as "for babies". It might be to the benefit of the box office if it is PG-13 without going too blue.

First pics of Robbie and Gosling as Barbie & Ken. That's a lot of pink.
