It’s a relief we didn’t have to watch Annie and Nick get married and become one of those overly enthusiastic Christian couples online. Thankfully, their relationship only lasts a couple of scenes. First, they have a conversation where Annie, admitting she’d had a bit to drink, repeatedly expresses her worries that Nick doesn’t love her enough. While Nick proving his love by taking time off work is nice, their conversation is filled with the word “love” to the point where it feels meaningless. They spend a full minute saying “I love you” almost every five seconds, focusing more on *saying* they love each other than explaining *why* they do.

This epic showdown is a major reason the movie is so well-remembered, and it’s become one of the most important and impactful slasher films of all time.

In an interview with *Rolling Stone*, James Gunn characterized the upcoming *Supergirl* movie as a “space adventure.” He then compared it to *Guardians of the Galaxy*, the 2014 Marvel film he directed with Nicole Perlman. *Guardians of the Galaxy* was a huge success, earning over $773 million worldwide on a budget of under $200 million, and it received overwhelmingly positive reviews, achieving a 92% rating on both Rotten Tomatoes’ “Certified Fresh” and “Popcornmeter” scores.
