LOS ANGELES (AP) — There was no stopping “Limitless” at the box office.

The sci-fi thriller opened at No. 1 this weekend with $19 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The film from Relativity Media stars Bradley Cooper as a struggling writer who takes a magical pill that allows him to tap into his maximum brain potential. Suddenly he’s cleaned up, making millions and wowing everyone he meets.

Robert De Niro co-stars as a financial guru who’s fascinated by him, with Abbie Cornish as Cooper’s skeptical girlfriend.

“Magical Pill”?

Oh brother give me a break! More senseless escapism s**t from Hollywood to keep sheeple distracted from the real issues.

America is popping enough pills as it it to escape reality. Do we need more encouragement?

Here’s one movie I will not pay to see.
