Re: Why should I be interested just because its popular? The driving a car blindfolded gave into the ignorance held by the rest of the world about blindness. It was utterly ridiculous, yet people [apparently] loved it so much that they even tried to imitate it. That's nothing new, though

Re: Why should I be interested just because its popular? I also was not a fan of the movie and really didn't understand the hype. Besides for the unrealistic bits like driving a car blindfolded, I agree with the rest that a lot of things didn't make sense, and I would also have liked more

Re: Why should I be interested just because its popular? If you have lunatics as an actual threat in the film, that has already pretty deviated from the book. The book has barely four or five characters, and though there is one guy whose up to no good whom you later find has seen

Re: Why should I be interested just because its popular? I think the biggest thing with Birdbox was that it didn't really conform to the overarching mainstream-branded genre of horror. For once, it was a unique plot, but that didn't make it good.***SPOILER WARNING***I'd argue the people

Re: Why should I be interested just because its popular? @12, what did NFB say about it? I wasn't aware there was any controversy surrounding it.The thing I didn't like about it was that the plot was hurried and and the movie didn't actually say anything besides there's this mysterious

Re: Why should I be interested just because its popular? I don't want to derail the conversation, but I just thought I'd chip in to say that I actually agree with the NFB's viewpoint on the film Bird Box, which is essentially that the film doesn't portray blind people; rather, it portrays

Re: Why should I be interested just because its popular? I would bet that the main attraction for watching Birdbox in this community was to rip it apart and see whether the NFB had something to jump up and down and scream about, so I don't really take that anecdote seriously. Thus why I
