As the topic reads I would like to know what the most popular things in your country are. So I thought up some different subjects and made a template. If there are several popular names you can write more than one answer.

And of course, don't forget to mention which country are you are living in.

Could you be more precise about the instant messenger? :P Which software people use.
Maybe it's Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Lawrence as of late?
For movies maybe Frozen and RoboCop? I don't know if Hobbit 2 is American or not, but that movie is huge.

Texting just means using the phone carriers SMS services. (as opposed to an IM which uses the internet)
