Guest Astro Report post Posted April 26, 2004 The Marketing Department using "His passion made him great" for James Caviezel's new Bobby Jones movie is just so so...bleh.... cheesy? I dunno what word i'm looking for...but It annoys me. --------------- Trivia for Leonard Part 6 (1987) Apparently Bill Cosby was in agreement with those who thought this movie to be a complete stinker. It was not the project he expected it to be, but any actor under contract is obligated to complete that project or face legal action. However, as the film was about to be released, Cosby appeared on several talk shows denouncing it as a terrible movie and advising people not to waste their time or money on it. The film won three Razzie Awards including Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Screenplay. All of which were personally accepted by Bill Cosby himself, he requested that they be specially made out of 24 carat gold and Italian marble, (at a cost to Fox Networks of about $27,000) and be presented to him on "The Fox Late Show" a few weeks after the actual Razzie ceremony. After it's initial round of showings on cable, Bill Cosby himself bought the distribution rights to the film, in order to ensure that it never gets shown on television again. ----------- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Fuck Cos, man. He has no right to keep that movie from being shown. Well, actually he bought the distribution rights, so it would be impossible for him to have any more of a right to, but it's still wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
