Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted August 24, 2003 Well at least that horrible looking Marci X movie didn't break a million. And it looks like Jackie Chan's drawing power is on the downside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2003 I knew My Boss's Daughter would be a failure the moment I heard that they never allowed screenings to take place for critics. Freddy vs. Jason is a huge success, I'm proud of that one for doing so well. Thus begins the NEXT era of slashers, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vyce 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Meanwhile, "Pirates" is quietly making its way to the $300 million mark. And Jackie needs to pick better scripts. He should realize that from here on out, he should only make films where he's paired with a wise-cracking black guy or a culture-shocked white dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Lee Evens was ok as Jackie's partner but what hurt the movie the most is the fight scenes Spoiler (Highlight to Read): too much of the speed up the film crap Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mindless_Aggression Report post Posted August 25, 2003 How did the Ashton Kutcher fad even begin? He was never in a succesful film, and in fact everything he touched seemingly bombed outside of Punk'd. Is it just because he's fucking Demi Moore? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 The commercials for the Kutcher movie are pathetically awful. Guy - This is my owl, OJ. Asston Kutcher: OJ, the killer ? Guy - No. OJ, the football player. And later..... Asston: OJ's loose ! Everybody: AHHHHHHH!! OH ! !! An OJ joke !! Now that's recent !! What's next ? A joke about Peewee Herman? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somehow, Dude Where's My Car and Just Married were successful. EDIT: Don't forget That 70's Show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Yeah but Dude Where's My Car and Just Married were minor hits at best, and both savaged by critics. Ashton is basically a faux celebrity who is getting a ton of press based on who he is fucking rather than any talent he has. Glad to see Pirates still doing well, it'll run past the Matrix Reloaded fairly soon. Good, it was a better movie anyway. At least I thought so. Jeepers Creepers 2 is coming out next week right? It'll do ok, but how wild would it be for F vs. J to be #1 for 3 weeks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Minor hits and made back it's budgets. I liked both Dude, Where's My Car & Just Married, but who am I... Who the hell listens to Critics ? Jeepers "Did they really have to make another one" Creepers 2 will probably open up at #1 but to low numbers and will probably and hopefully fade off fast.

Is it just because he's fucking Demi Moore? What about that TV show that has been on for quite a while now where he plays one of the main characters? What's it called again? /sarcasm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crucifixio Jones Report post Posted August 25, 2003 The jokes in Bosses' Daughter are dated because the movie itself is also old. It was only released to capitalize on Ashton's newfound "celebrity" much like the shelved projects of Vin Deisel (A Man Apart, Knockaround Guys) after XXX did well. The thing is, even if the movie had come out when it was completed the OJ joke would've still be dated as hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Hell yeah!! *roots for Open Range* And I still wonder how people want to disregard Ashtons work on "That 70's Show" the show is successful, he does a great job on it...that's where his popularity came from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crucifixio Jones Report post Posted August 25, 2003 Really? Funny how that show and Dude, Where's My Car? had been out FOREVER and no one cared who he was, they only knew OF him. But the minute he started dating Demi and clubbing with Diddy, he's an A-list celeb? Yeah, his popularity came from that 70's show alright. Don't lie to yourself. Even PUNK'D isn't that great...not great enough to have the entire world talking about you. He's so on his high horse now he's refused to do a "Dude, Where's My Car?" sequel. He better get paid while he can. My clock says 13 minutes and counting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
