It's just so funny that almost no one makes the connection between them, LOL. Especially here!

If this thread must go off on a movie tangent, could you at least limit it to Disney or US movies? Thanks. Although using a quote from The Big Lebowski was a nice touch.
Is this about the Jurassic World talk? It is a Universal Studios picture.

Yes, it's very interesting to hear...when I see the film again I'm going to look a lot more closely at that.

Frozen didn't open at #1 either. No one cared.

Apparently CNN Money did - LOL - just passing on the news (first headline I saw this morning about it) - I didn't write it.

Ah, okay. Well Frozen was actually a good movie, that had legs. Inside Out will probably be okay until The Minions come to town.
When did imagination become an emotion? Is that a new common core thing?

The article makes a great point at the end - same one I have made several times in this thread:
I do think a lot of the rest of the article was blather - it's human nature to categorize and rank things. It's in our DNA. It's how we understand the world. When a guy from Variety says this, it's like when people with gender issues say they don't like the concept of "gender labels" - and then instead of eschewing them, they insist on having a brand new one created and everyone adopting it (welcome to why Facebook now has 50+ "gender options"). "I don't believe in labels, but...if you don't call me this new one we invented, you are the one with the problem!"
We can't help ourselves, and the entertainment industry has always been this way (books, movies, music, etc.). And let's not pretend that the studios don't play that game - movie scheduling is a strategic art form. My guess is, they took a pretty safe bet that this would be good "counter-programming" to Jurassic World, but like any bet, even a safe one, it's still a bet - no one saw Jurassic World coming nearly as strongly as it has.
They didn't lose, again, the film has done great - we'll see how it's legs are after the word of mouth gets out (it seems possible that this won't be a "Mom can we go see it again?" film for kids, which is one reason Pixar films do so well). Or it might continue to be a success throughout the summer. One thing is for sure, nothing is for sure. (Well, except Star Wars...LOL.)

You just hit on what scares me about this film culturally LOL...the message that inside everyone are multiple personalities battling it out...it reeks of "I can't control my emotions, they control me" and I hope kids don't take any of that seriously.

I just rewatched the first Jurassic Park, the scene where Gennaro says 'we can charge whatever we like, 2000 a day, 10,000 a day...'
When the movie first came out, the idea of a park charging 2000 dollars a day was absurd and that scene was a joke. But with the Disflation we've had on park tickets, with day tickets over $100 and upcharge events pushing $200, nowadays $2000 to see dinosaurs sounds like a bargain!

That gets me thinking, did they ever mention in JW how much it cost to go there?

Honestly? YES. LOL.
What's funny is, according to Jack Horner (the paleontologist consultant for the JP films), we won't need to go to a park to see them - we'll have them as pets - and it's not that far away in the future.

No. Jurassic World is OK. Disney movies are OK. Just throwing out random movie titles is not OK.

No, but I think it's safe to assume it's only the super-rich, as the only people we see out of context are the family who would have been given the VIP trip for free because they're related to the administrator.
Now in my JP viewing we've just had Samuel L Jackson comment how they've got all the problems of a major theme park and a major zoo, and then they head on the safari jeep tour where the animals often don't show. It's basically DAK isn't it?
Even the jeep safari is similar - while watching it just now I almost expected the jeep narrator to shout 'JAMBO!' at the beginning.

I've decided to put off seeing Inside Out a while specifically because of those lame Imagination rumors. I know that people like Hill are reporting the plan is for them to stay in the Magic Eye long-term, but movie tie-in attractions in the Magic Eye was how this whole mess got started in the first place.
