"Learn their lesson"? Are you kidding?! Man, last night I saw a commercial for a rom-com with Jennifer Anniston and Gerard "300" Butler. This is the second or third movie like this for him, I believe, but even my rom-com-loving wife agreed with my assessment that the movie looks awful. I had the misfortune of paying to see "The Awful Truth", Butler's rom-com with Catherine Hiegel, which was really awful. Yet here they are, doing it again...
And didn't I hear they're talking about a Bad Boys 3? The second film was so bad I nearly walked out, yet hear we go again. "Learn their lesson"? Never! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 10:57:28 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Hollywood Extinction: Old Dinosaurs die at Box Office All three movies are fit into an overused formula that is at least 20 years old. Cop avenges the death of his partner, wife, daughter. Doctor working on a cure but can't get the money. Wild man "merican"offers payback on them dar terrorists. Hollywood still hasn't learned their lesson yet. On Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 6:36 PM, George Arterberry < brotherfromhow...@yahoo.com > wrote: Maybe they were just garbage movies. This time of year my main focus is sports. Being that I have college and pro season tix,the urge just ain't there for me..But with the timeline from general release and DVd being smaller and smaller I'm not proessed to see a movie. as I once was. Avatar was a once in a generational thing I had to view. but something that Ford,Travolta and Gibson slept walked thru for 10 mil plus, i'll pass.

In the case of Ford's film they should have waited for the interviews about the movie to happen before the movie was released. Better still timed it with another medical movie. It doesn't help if the movie is mediocre as well.
