Does that mean it can’t include it?
It’s an hysterical position to take without having seen the film.

But I get the impression the author of that tweet is talking out of his/her ass and hasn’t done their research.

I want to see this less with every single piece of promo material that I see. However, I do love and feel inspired by the idea/theme/images of young people fighting back and changing things. Super cool.

Yeah, I...don’t know if that’s the theme.

It's about time Hollywood started pushing the "young people fighting back and changing things" theme.

Probably not. I haven't read it or seen the movie yet. That's why I "/" a bunch of stuff. To cover my bases.

This doesn't look good. At least it isn't subtle about hoovering up all of the ideas and concepts from our plastic culture.

Twitter has been blowing up this morning talking about this movie. Apparently it's...good?

I think WB has a terrible marketing team if so.

See, this is one of those movies that I feel will really let you down, LV. I sure hope not, but it just has that feel.

Guys, this is really good. Like, loads of fun.

Got tickets to a free screening this morning so my brother and I just saw the thing. Spielberg is a genius, and everyone should just sit back and enjoy this. The film doesn't hit you over the head with all it's references to pop culture and past movies. Things are just there for you to spot, but it's all done really well.

I think I might see this again. The leads are all really good, too.

My brother just told me he is going to the LA premiere. Like, the one with Spielberg in attendance.
