I need to go way more with my gut when it comes to crap like this. I still tell myself "this is total crap, i guess everyone will love it". {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 07, 08:36

I didn't see any of the novel's middlebrow concept in the trailer, and felt the movie would miss. {nm} second gary Feb 07, 10:23

Yes. To anyone that reads books, go back to how this idea felt when the book was fresh and new. And how this didn't look like that AT ALL. {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 07, 16:33

It would have been a tricky adaptation, to commit to the broad citational aspect of the novel. Short of imitating. . . second gary Feb 08, 07:52

Every online prediction saying this dreck will do 12 million or low teens millions. Who paid to go see this? You can do ANYTHING else. Pay? {nm} goodvibe61 Feb 07, 08:37

fwiw, Sony forecasted $8-9 million. {nm} Antibody Feb 07, 09:43

Your significant other force you to have that opinion about that and other Sparks films? {nm} Jay_Beezy Feb 07, 09:48

Are you just a monkey at a keyboard? Occasionally you make sense, but it's pretty rare. {nm} lapuckfan Feb 07, 09:43

I think he just enjoys getting people riled up. {nm} Raven9167 Feb 07, 09:44

I know he does. {nm} The Force-Ghost of DTravel Feb 07, 17:33

If you ignore him he will go away. He likes the attention.... just like Roto. {nm} fricnfractal Feb 07, 18:30

He is Roto! {nm} DiNar0 Feb 07, 21:13

Honesty I think it's the economy too. Kids and parents are holding onto their money a tad more. I think most upcoming film will underperfor {nm} Baron_Darcon Feb 07, 12:56
