Title: What the hell is wrong with people...
Post by: Viper_Fujax on February 05, 2006, 01:33:30 PM
http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Movies/02/05/boxoffice.ap/index.html

iv never felt this strongly about how damn stupid a movie is (dont worry..i havent wasted my money on it)..maybe its because the preview is on 24 hours a day, but this movie is easily the worst acting iv ever seen. Theyre supposed to show the best parts in the preview, but all they show is that chick saying "STOP CALLINg ME!" in the most annoying, fakest possible way. And then top it off with "the call is coming from INSIIIDE THE HOUUUSEE".

Now people made it #1 at the box office..the first time i saw it like a year ago i thought theres no possible way this could make money..low and behold everyone sees it.

sorry..this movie/people that watched it is stupid enough to make a thread about it.

American culture sucks.  People have no taste.  95% of american consumers would rather buy something they already understand than take a chance on something new.

Our country has a "group memory" of this crappy movie from 1979, but most of us have never even seen the original movie.  We\'ve only heard that line of dialogue: "The calls are coming from inside the house!!!!"  repeated over and over through the years in comedy sketches and television shows about horror movies.  That group memory is all that\'s needed to sell the remake.

If the brain dead masses have heard the brand name before, or have some memory of it, or if Oprah says it\'s ok to buy it, then they buy it.  It\'s a corporate marketing dream.  They push the button, and the hamsters eat whatever\'s in the feeding tube.

I find that remaking movies always ends in failure (with exceptions ofcoarse like Gone in 60 Seconds. The original was better but the new one was completely different).

Yeah because the first one sucked too.

A villian with a furniture fetish? A FURNITURE fetish??

God, I hope you\'re being sarcastic.

Blah blah. Pop culture sucks. Guess what? Oh well. No one is forcing you to see it.

As for this being number what, like Eik said  - what other movie is there? This movie caters to the teens and they will go see it. End of story.

Come on, that is only partially true. The whole premise is based off the urban legend of a babysitter and someone being in the house with her. I\'m sure a lot of people - like my fiance have never seen the original, but know off that urban legend.

The Ring & The Grudge, just 2 examples, are big successes...

What is this failure you\'re talking about?

Yeah...she was as close to "naked" in that movie as she\'s ever probably going to get. She was f^cking hot in that movie. The first one was much better though...considering both movies have different directors.

I saw the previews (probably seeing it this weekend) and they showed part of the sex scene and it said there was nudity. o well..maybe the dvd,lol.

The Producers is still around in quite a few theaters.  That\'s the only decent flick I\'ve seen of late.

I thought this thread was about Britney Spears driving with no seat belt, holding a baby whilst the baby hold her cigarette and beer (or piping hot coffee).

maybe it\'s me,..but it looks like the other side of her door is open....or missing.:confused:..i mean from that angle you should be able to see part of the right side car door right?

Yeah...she drove with that door open.

This is why people like Britney Spears need to a) be shot or b) not be allowed to breed.

No, but it almost showed her gina...it was the hottest non-nude showing of the body I\'ve ever seen. Damn her for not getting naked! They showed boobies, but not hers...pffft.

The question is how well she can drive.

What the hell are you trying to say? Say it, don\'t just quote what I said directly before you.

@ (e): I said apparently she can\'t drive because she\'s carrying a fucking baby in her lap while she drives. She\'s a dumb bitch.

Saw it today (my dad likes vampire/warewolf movies). She\'s probably #1 on my hottest chicks list. Above jessica alba.
