JohnT: ITA with you on that one. That observation of yours wasn't out of place at all.

Honestly, I think the movie industry is getting collectively stupider by the hour.

BTW: Who you think has the edge for the statuettes in March? I bet you're hoping I'll say LOTR again, but I'm thinking Chicago (though About Schmidt is far superior). I couldn't STAND The Hours...

YES!!! AND IT'S THE SIZE OF MARS!!!!!!!

A-hem. Sorry, got carried away by the memories...

Please tell me The Core is some kind of disaster-movie spoof....

it'd still be very lame, but at least it wouldn't be the most absurd premise for a movie ever.

Reismark: I hope TTT wins it - it's the only movie I've seen this year* that has even the slightest chance of winning B. Picture.

*See above, re: baby.

JohnT: So do I, so do I, but it probably won't. Everywhere I go, it's "They're saving it for Return of the King..." and then, of course, it'll probably have the luck of running into a surefire can't-miss lock next year...

No spoof. The trailer was straight-up.

If it's lame enough, it could become a cult classic

Please, its not "The warriors"

**orange** · January 21, 2003, 12:40

i'm a sucker for 'end of the world' movies, so i'll probably see it.

It's things like this that really make me wonder about the long term future of your country.

(Not just dissing either. I lived in America for 10 years and saw a lot of stuff first hand that worried me deeply. The failure of The Critic cartoon for example)

**Boris Godunov** · January 21, 2003, 13:14

The Critic was brilliant. Its failure stands as a lasting indictment of American popular taste.

"You mean you want me to HACK THE PLANET?"

"What'll it take you to go down there?" "50 billion dollars." "Will you take a check?"

**Jac de Molay** · January 21, 2003, 13:25

Oh come on, none of these can hold a candle to the most brainless premise ever inflicted upon the American Psyche.......Pretty Woman.

I hate to say it, but the women I see walking the Cass Corrider after dark look NOTHING like Julia Roberts.

**Boris Godunov** · January 21, 2003, 13:31

"Pretty Woman" was based on Dumas' Camille and La traviata by Verdi. Don't blame the "stupid" premise on American movies. I, however, think the premise itself is a good one. Perhaps it was the execution that was the problem.
