They herd sheep and they are gay! Poor sheep, I bet they all run for their lives when they see a shepard approaching!
It's an impossible story to tell accurately in the movies. They're hyping it to be like Shakespeare in Love.
Yeah, and most film reviewers didn't like Star Wars much either when it first came out.
Whatever ...
It's funny to read reviews on when SW first came out and then read a review by the same reviewer 20 years later on how incredible the flim was.
Speaking of film reviewers:

(warning: bad language in video, but still damn funny.)
I have to agree with you on this one to a point, I loved the Incredibles. I also enjoyed the Harry Potter movies, I am not a Christian and so the witchcraft thing doesn't bother me, plus I see Harry Potter as fantasy with no relation to reality at all, just fun to watch. I do however have some complaints on how they stray from the books but this is true of most movies made from book stories.
Hello, Hollywood...anyone there with a calculator...?
Oh, no, is some poor blonde headed guy going to be kidnapped by Kong? Imagine the terror when Kong wants to have sex with him!
That is the line that deserves an OSCAR.
Open Range 2 would blow them all out of the water.
Robert Duvall is the best living American actor.
Yeah, probably enough to earn back the initial investment and make a nice pile of cash. $15 million is not a lot of money to squeeze out of worldwide distribution. It's less than Julia Roberts' salary for a movie. Less than the price of many Manhattan luxury apartments. Less than the advertising budgets of most big movies.
Kong was a sympathetic character in the original 1933 version, too. And the Dino DeLaurentis remake.
Brokeback Box Office
Stop trying to shove agendas down our throat and maybe we will pay for movies again someday.
But here's another point for my position: if we don't call them cowboys, that means no more "gay cowboys eating pudding" jokes, and that will take all the fun out of the Brokeback Mountain threads.
"BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
Domestic Total as of Dec. 16, 2005: $1,726,000 (Estimate)
Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: December 9, 2005
Running Time: 2 hrs. 14 min. Production Budget: $14 million
MPAA Rating: R Marketing:$7 million"
With that budget compared with their earnings, the producers must really be taking it in the shorts.
*rimshot*
Doesn't the Jewish scumbags now running a totally out of control Hollywood...
Haven't heard that in awhile. Traditions die hard, I guess.
It says Narnia has made $90.3M, BBM has made $1.7M. That's including yesterday, when it opened on a lot more screens and doubled its gross.
BBM isn't going to bomb. Its budget was $20M vs. $150M for Narnia, it's never going to come close to Narnia in its gross (how many large families are going to see BBM?) but no one is expecting it too. All the liberal married women in my office want to see it. Unfortunately it's probably going to win a lot of awards because gays are in with Hollywood and it's a way for Barbra S. and company to say "f@ck you" to Red America.
Its success on the few screens where it is playing means it's going to be released in a lot more places over the next few weeks, until they reach the edge of their market. It's not going to play in rural or exurban America, but it will be within driving distance of most everyone who'd want to see it, which is not where it is now (it's only in a few cities, almost all in the northeast.) Looking at these numbers is like reading the 2 PM exit polls.
I believe that Spielberg just trashed Israel in his latest movie called Munich.
