I think Twilight was aimed at 14 year old girl, but Wonder Women seems to be more of a family film. |

You're not a middle aged gay man, but you watch Downton Abbey on a loop, so what do you care about being in the target audience for something? Lol “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Downton is one of the most historically accurate Brit dramas ever on the air. Right down to the silverware placement on the dining room table. The producers were meticulous in maintaining the accuracy to the point that a well known and well paid historian was on the set at all times. In fact, there's a documentary about what went into the historical part of making Downton that's as fascinating as the show itself. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I've seen the trailer. It's aimed at teenage girls. Many of whom came dressed as WW to the theater. I rest my case. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 217 Posts: 22939 | I thought almost no movies are aimed at old codgers. Young audiences bring the money, or their friends or even drag parents along. Also more likely to want to see a movie again, though I don't know how any kid can afford it these days. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |

I cant think anything more trifle or boring as getting excited over the accurate placement of silverware. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Including the highly accurate water bottle on the mantle. ![]() I actually really liked Downton Abbey. But I'm gay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

Several 70s movies could stand to be less accurate. Who wants to look at polyester clothes and people formerly with crewcuts with badly styled long hair? And "That's groovy man." said more than 3 times ever is good enough. "Trumpsplain (def.) explaining absolute nonsense said by TRUMP. |
