‘Hidden Figures’ beat ‘Star Wars’ at the box office this weekend

  • It was a close race that looked deadlocked Sunday, but Monday morning brought good news for Hidden Figures: 
  • The film won the box office this weekend and is officially the no. 1 movie in the country.  
  • This is the win that will make Hidden Figures a success not just at the box office, but also with the Oscars. 
  • And most of all, as star Taraji P. Henson noted on Instagram, it again proves movies about women and people of color make money. Read more

I heard it was huge.

Wow! I’m planning to see this.

As you can read more at the link, this is especially impressive given that it was in many less theaters than Rouge One (2,471 vs. 4,175). 

It is *excellent* and should be on everyone’s “must watch” list 🙂

So I wanted to see if Ten Duel Commandments and The World Was Wide Enough used the exact same backing, and then this happened

I JUST SCREAMED

@queen–frostine dude. This is incredible

@thecasualpistachioh Damn

i was mostly okay until the “pick a place to die”/“near the same spot his son died” overlap and it just got worse from there.

holy shit.

this is beautiful and amazing and not okay

“this man will not make an orphan of my daughter” (okay, so we’re doing this)

i’m devastated

BUT Y’ALL

the last few lines when they both say “look ‘im in the eye, aim no higher / summon on the courage you require!” 

how could you not mention that

BUT GUYS

Okay but why has no one talked about Kara stopping at one of those diners or roadhouses that have one of those massive food challenges???

Just imagine. Kara Danvers walks into this slightly dark and slightly rough looking steak house. There’s bikers and tough looking people everywhere and she sticks out like a sore thumb in her nicely pressed slacks, yellow cardigan, and glasses. She just politely sits down and smiles at the waiter when he asks her “what would you like, little lady?”

And when she speaks again she doesn’t need her super hearing to know the restaurant suddenly becomes quiet. Everyone looking at her, almost as if they know she’s an actual alien.

“I’ll have the 72 oz steak, please.”

And the waiter just shifts on his feet, looks Kara up and down, this seemingly unassuming and /tiny/ girl… And then he laughs. And laughs. And laughs. Because there’s absolutely no way she could possibly eat the 72 oz stake in a week – let alone an hour. But Kara just keeps smiling at him, waiting.

So when he sees that she’s serious, he just shakes his head, walks back to the kitchen, and hollers for the steak challenge. The rest of the patrons start whispering, most start laughing in disbelief. But Kara just keeps smiling and patiently waits for her food.

And when it comes out of the kitchen, the 72 oz, 4.5 pound monster of steak, the waiter sets it down in front of Kara with a slight shake of his head. “Good luck, darling,” he says with a slight laugh. But Kara doesn’t need it.

She demolishes it in record time and her picture – Kara grinning in front of an empty plate – is hung up on the wall of fame in between photos of massive bikers and leather jackets.

Then she asks politely for their dessert menu.
