Actually, I thought it could be an exaggeration, but given how prolific Bollywood is, I could easily see a collection of films lasting longer than that.
As for comparson with the Ring Cycle, please don't go there.

Based on SueU’s recommendation I tuned into this on Showtime.
Good to know, if you ever recommend a movie here.TPFKA@W wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 10:03 pmBased on SueU’s recommendation I tuned into this on Showtime.
Clearly Mrs Econoline and I, as well as my husband, did not take a sip from the koolaide of which most of you apparently chugged down and asked for seconds. We quit about 1/3 of the way in.

For me, the genre of a film is a lot less important than the director/writer and/or the actors in it, although I have to say I have had enough of the comic-book franchises (nevertheless, I actually liked Joker). I'll see pretty much anything with George Clooney, Helen Mirren, Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, and a half dozen or so others.
I feel like I'm one of the nine people in America who saw Buckaroo Banzai, and it is so packed with deadpan jokes (both visual and in dialog) that I missed a bunch the first time through. Plus Christopher Lloyd and John Lithgow are just hilarious. Did you know that Jamie Lee Curtis was in the film in a flashback scene as Buckaroo's mother? The scene was cut, but there's a picture of her on the dashboard of Buckaroo's rocket-car. (The scene is on the Youtubes as a "prequel"/alternate opening for the movie).
I saw it twice - first time at the movie theater. Don't remember a single thing about it. So don't know if that makes me one of the nine or knocks me out?
