Movies

I didn't say it wasn't going to flop (it is). I just think that assuming there isn't a market for it at all, or that it was cooked up...

without any artistic ideals is a little harsh.

"ALVH is a movie conceived by morons, financed by imbeciles, produced by idiots, and eagerly awaited solely by those lacking functioning synapses."

For a movie based on a best-selling book, this seems off the mark.

oh come on, it could be the greatest comedy of the year. I laugh just thinking about it. {nm} jwammo Jun 17, 13:52

I shorted it at $121.11, whether it's a good movie or not, a $45m opening was just never happening. {nm} austpow Jun 17, 14:26

I think Delta House is trying to be funny, and that usually involves taking on extreme opinions. ;-) I found the post quite amusing. {nm} elchan Jun 17, 18:14

There was some effort to leaven the despair with humor, but the criticisms of the makers, movies, and audience are sincere.{nm} DTXbro Jun 17, 19:15

Of course, I didn't mean that I found the analysis funny, just the way it was told. ;-) {nm} elchan Jun 18, 08:32

You know...I like some Lynch...Wild At Heart is in my top ten favorite films...but his Dune adaptation was appalling. Of course, since I can Catzan Jun 17, 19:30

Speaking from the perspective to only read the series of books after the movie, I must say that I found the movie quite good. elchan Jun 18, 07:51

What were the posts about Blair Witch Project like? I agree that Abe:VH isn't any logical premise, but there's always that fringe chance... {nm} arf Jun 17, 22:00
