HOLLYWOOD STOCK EXCHANGE
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
THE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET
All that says to me is teenage girls will see boy movies, while teenage boys won't be caught dead at a girl movie.
What's your point here? That mass-market entertainment is shallow and Hollywood produces films that pander to their audience? Because, duh!
Or that women are more superficial than men? Because saying "a bigger % of women saw The Vow than the % of men who saw Transformers 3" is not a good comparison. For a start, there's what I wrote in the header. And males who saw TFRM3 on opening weekend outnumbered the everyone that saw The Vow on OW, including any men unlucky enough to be dragged along to it. And The Vow, with a small $30M budget, has the luxury of being able to focus on its core audience and ignore others. While TFRM3 had a $200M budget, so the movie has to have broader appeal for the producers to recoup their $$$. From my POV, the superficiality is about even, but expressed in different ways, and saying "Woman are shallower than men" is like being in the first grade and saying "Girls have cooties".
Even your example of Megan Fox is skewed. Megan Fox has gone from being lusted after by every teenage male to playing herself as a real life call girl. This is because movie starlets are disposable, and there's always a new and shiny one coming up for boys to be interested in. Megan Fox's replacement by an underwear model in Transformers 3 is just one example of this. That's just as superficial as "girls love the Chan-man and his abs".
So is the talentless Channing Tatum now an A-list star? Mar 17, 20:49
There are shallow man who watch trash movies too ;-) {nm} Mar 17, 21:09
This isn't about trash movies per se. It's about a terrible actor becoming a draw without any talent. {nm} Mar 17, 21:17
Fire up the presses. First time this has ever happened in Hollywood. Mar 17, 21:30
Doesn't mean it's right. {nm} Mar 17, 21:31
You kill me, honestly. Mar 17, 22:03
Don't shoot the messenger {nm} Mar 17, 22:22
Am I understanding the messages correctly as: Mar 17, 23:08
I thought you said you weren't going to bite? {nm} Mar 17, 23:09
He gets mad at me when I respond, but I can't imagine that a post like that isn't intended to be provocative. Mar 17, 23:23
ROFLOL! Mar 17, 23:41
just for the record Mar 18, 01:50
Oh look forget it, I don't want to get into it. {nm} Mar 17, 23:09
You clearly don't understand that adage... {nm} Mar 18, 04:34
But if we disagree, we're not "shooting the messenger," we're shooting the person who wrote the message as well. Mar 18, 07:01
Answer this: Mar 18, 05:09
The Vow was overwhelmingly female whereas the Transformers films are more evenly split Mar 18, 06:29
All that says to me is teenage girls will see boy movies, while teenage boys won't be caught dead at a girl movie. Mar 18, 07:08
Yeah, everyone went to see TFRM3 for the editing! And the sound mixing! {nm} Mar 18, 07:09
Well, it did get nominated for Oscars;) {nm} Mar 18, 07:15
And at least one can understand Bay when he talks. Tatum's nickname should be Marblemouth. {nm} Mar 18, 06:41
TATUM 2012 [nm] Mar 17, 22:22
He is bound to be nominated for his performance! Amazing actor! {nm} Mar 17, 22:24
I was saying the same thing 2 hours ago. Then I walked in on a little movie called 'Abduction'... Mar 17, 22:59
