Guardians of the Galaxy made money! Like, a lot of money! Specifically $94 million, which is the biggest August opening to date!
Who could have seen this coming? Well, anyone who was paying attention. Guardians of the Galaxy is basically Marvel’s Star Wars, and it’s taking hold in exactly the same way that movie did in 1977 — starting with the overexcited fan base (kids then, Marvel fans now) and spreading like wildfire to the rest of the population through word-of-mouth.
I’ll be very surprised if it experiences the usual precipitous second-weekend drop; you just know more people are going to want to see what all the fuss is about than could possibly care about the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot.
Second place: Lucy, with $18.3 million. Third: Get On Up, with $14 million. No talking raccoon, no point.
Guardian of the Galaxy will probably also see a fair bit of business next weekend by claustrophobic and/or antisocial people, such as myself, who try to avoid the opening weekend crowd for popular movies. (It usually helps that I avoid the 3D showings as well.) I’m insanely looking forward to this one, just not enough to brave opening weekend.
We loved reading your own sbimut. I’ve reached be honest had been the very first content material in your website I truly liked and exactly where I’d a sense of knowing, know what I am talking about? Anyway, keep up with the posting and I will be back once again.
? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ! OBCs will also behave theeemlvss in relationship with SCs and STs in future when life in villages gets more and more urbanised, meaning the worth and importance of the individual as against the group begin to be valued. The labels ‘SCs’ and ‘STs’, too, will fall off. Improvement in social conditions in the lives of OBCs/ SCs/ STs will render caste identities imposed by Brahmins redundant and otiose. I mean, no religion will be contexulaised with castes. The orthodox Brahmins and their lickers’ will have to revamp the core values of their religion in order to survive in the new world. The writings of Tilak, Hegdewar and Savarkar for brahminical glory will become a laughing stock. As Arul has pointed out time and again, our society should liberate itself from the brahminical values first. His is not a original idea: it is Periyaar’s. If you conduct rig vedic yaga in your temple, no one but your relations and your lickers, is going to mind you. You and your lickers can do any thing : it wont impact the general society as a whole, unlike in the past when yours was the only religion and the Hindu social philosophy was to be observed by one and all.If at all there are quarrels between people, it wont be on the bases of castes from religion, but for the scramble for the scant resources and due to inequal distribution of such resources only. Such a scramble is a perennial and bitter reality of human life, as you know.
