In Reply to: August is bad, very bad. posted by PrinceRules on May 15, 2001 at 12:44:24:
: I don't care what Brian Lynch says...:::
I do. Brian had no chin, that means he thinks very deeply.
opening in August is the kiss of death and IS reserved for films that have tested badly and have no chance.:::
I think it has been shown,over time, that even the best Hollywood producers are hit and miss. The Sixth Sense was supposed to do just "okay" and its gross could buy the Russian nuclear arsenal and have enough left over for a dinner of sushi served off some 21 year old geisha girl.
Oooh, Scary Movie was such a hit at the end of August! LOL... all I see there is Mr. Weinstein selling a bad movie to a clueless audience.:::
Mr.Weinstein? I read your post below, you seem quite obsessed with big Wein. Whats the deal? Owe you money? Kill your puppy/Grandma/imaginary fuckbuddy? Circumsize you with his canines? What?
.. like Miramax knows what they're doing anyway. :::
Yea, them Oscars are just for show, and the occasional prostate rub.
Their movies are over-hyped, over-produced. ::
Yet free of sentence fragments like "Their movies are over-hyped, over-produced. ". Throw an "and" in there and lose the comma. You are a Rex Reed lovin' Anti-Semite,aren't ya?
If "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" is a -BAD FILM- like Scary Movie, then sure, it can sell and make cash at the end of August.:::
And if its a good flick, It will STILL DO WELL. Woohoo, big big "pahty" and Gheorge Muresan's place.
IF it's a Gimmick-Flick that's marketed like hell to the brain-dead MTV audience, then fine.:::
So, I guess the "Doom-sayer handjob" audience you represent will stay home and breakdown the Lord of the Rings trailer until there are elves flowing from your bloodstained eyes.
But I hate to tell you, Weinstein ain't the man you think he is. He's a Prince fan, which makes him cool already,::::
Prince suckles inmate cockhair. Some of his old stuff isn't bad,though.
but moving your release date from the already bad date of August 10th to the worse date of August 24th ain't gonna do shit. What's the tough competition, American Pie 2? More like a brain-dead film, just like the first one. :::
You,my little Norwegian friend, are mistaking commerce for art. Sure, Pie and Scary Movie sucked, but they made muy,muy dinero. The sequels, atleast in the first two weeks if they suck hard, will attract people who enjoyed cocks in the ear and pie fucking. It makes sense to avoid them,strategy wise. He wants the flick to do well,and not have to compete for the same audience against an established product(Especially one of his,like Scary Movie). Harvey is smart to not get in a pissing match that has doomed other flicks.(Like Last Action Hero,The Patriot)
I may not be the smartest man alive,:::
Well,it is good you acknowledge that now,some dumbfucks take years to realize what you already know.
but I'm smarter than the audience Miramax is looking to attract.:::
Don't sell them short, they atleast know what they like.
.. grow some balls & some sense, Mr. Lynch!:::
Brian Lynch is a he-bitch among neander-bitches. Fear him.
: Where's my Skillet?::
Upside your head ya fuckin' twat. I was going for a Paulie Walnuts/Silvio Dante tone there.
-Mick is lookin' to re-establish presence,yo.
