The funniest thing I’ve seen all week was an imdb.com post about the new remake of Friday the 13th, the 1980 Halloween-by-way-of-Meatballs ripoff that spawned 10 mind-numbing sequels. The post began “This comment may contain spoilers.”

Not since The China Syndrome, James Bridges’ gripping thriller about a faulty nuclear power plant, hit theaters 12 days before the meltdown at Three Mile Island have real-life events conspired to prime audiences for a movie. If The International is seen only by people who currently harbor negative opinions about banks, this movie is going to rule the box office for weeks to come.
