TomShane Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 So I'm flipping channels and I come upon this absolutely mind-boggling piece of crap "Malibu's Most Wanted" with Jamie Kennedy, where an unfunny white dude wants to be a rapper and he acts "black" and whatnot, I guess. I watch it for five minutes and I just have to ask myself, who the HELL is paying the millions of dollars it costs to have this garbage made, and why? Is there some secret system where they get their money back WHEN the film flops? Who reads a script like this and says "Oh, hell yeah. We HAVE to make this movie! Here's a check for $10 mil."? Just mind-boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 These movies make money. That movie was actually funny if you didn't pay for it (I saw it on HBO). King Kong Ain't Got Nothing On Me. But with DVD Sales being what they are if they can break even at the box office they can turn a profit later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormshadow19 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Blame pop culture, MTV, and the WB. Why the WB? They created Jamie Kennedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanDoug Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Good topic. Can't wait for Bewitched I saw one on a movie channel, I beleive the title was Swept Away starring Madonna. Unbelievably bad. But I couldn't stop watching it, I had to see how bad it would get. It got worse and worse, yet in an unexplainable way, I was kinda entertained. pathetically yours, d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormshadow19 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Because Ben Affleck keeps dating hot women, thats why awful movies keep getting made. No... because people keep putting Affleck in movies (I'm looking at YOU, Kevin Smith). He dates hot women because he has money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 No... because people keep putting Affleck in movies (I'm looking at YOU, Kevin Smith). He dates hot women because he has money. i do love kevin smith movies chasing amy was wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 Kevin Smith is a one-joke stoner hack who blew his load with "Clerks" and has been living off of reputation since. The only reason people worship this ass-clown is because they too are oner-note stoner wannabe hacks who secretly believe that they too can string together their sh*tty weed and dick jokes to make an over-rated movie and become a millionaire. Jerks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with bad films these days is they're just bad. The good old B movies were so bad they were good. The modern stuff is simply dull and rubbish.

Jetheelz Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I think part of the problem is that there are simply too many remakes. There seems to be a real drought in original ideas coming out of hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't won't find too many people defending BA's acting skills, but Damon's got possibilities. Rounders, with Edward Norton.
