You are probably correct, but who cares. Just helping one little bit to sink this traitor and his wife make me feel good. Evidently, for whatever the reason, the Film "Troy" opened on Friday with $17M gross. The prediction from the "BoxOffice.com" web site, which is extremely reliable, was $58M for the weekend. With only bringing in $17M on its opening day, this movie is not even going to come close to capturing its $250M cost, let alone make any profit. I know. I am a movie buff and track these costs and positions all the time. Little Brad is toast! Mr. Pitt has failed miserably, and some of you have helped him along, even if it is just a tiny bit. Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step. Good show!
Many of the actors I used to enjoy became annoying to me once I heard them "discussing issues." The fact is, I don't care about their personal politics . I don't care if they vote democrat from now until doomsday. But hearing statements such as, "Bush is a f*cking idiot," and "We're sorry Bush is from Texas" detracts from the pleasure I get from their work. It's like finding out the "solid gold" ring your boyfriend gave you is from a Crackerjack box. The ring hasn't changed, but it's attractiveness is diminished somehow.
If I could learn to suspend disbelief well enough to believe 14K rings come with popcorn and peanuts, I could probably enjoy Brad Pitt. But I can't. So I find it easier to ignore actors, singers, and comedians who have made statements with which I disagree.
It'll make it up in DVD and video sales easily.
