How many adults will end up watching this?

WB greenlights its planned Lego universe movie

Hollywood continues to mine the past to make money off nostalgia. Sure, even now children play with legos, but how many Uhmericans will take their children to see this movie because they can relate? Trekkies aren't the only ones who need a life.

The Hunger Games
trailer came out today. The novels are popular, but the trailer is rather lousy -- not enough pathos. Should it have been more like Never Let Me Go. The protagonists aren't exactly helpless sacrifices, and it is only a trailer. As for the post-apocalyptic future? Still too clean and too much technology. And the age of the protagonists (actors?) may be a hindrance to enjoying the movie, as well.
