Author Topic: Hollywood Homicide: Gone already! David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-02-2003 12:38 PM                        Wow, did that one ever disappear quickly around here. Last week it was down to just a couple evening shows a day. This week: GONE! Harrison Ford's last couple of movies have been bombs (K-19 for example).  |  IP: Logged William Leland III Master Film Handler Posts: 336 From: Charleston, SC, Registered: Aug 2002 posted 07-02-2003 12:53 PM                        I never thought of Harrison Ford as a good actor or even ok. He has that mono tone voice that puts me to sleep. He was good in the 80's but he never got back to making action movies. The only recent movie I liked him in was "Six Days and Seven Nights".  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-02-2003 01:43 PM                        When he gets desperate enough for another big hit, like Ah-nuld, THAT'S when they'll finally make "Indy 4."  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

I figured it would have been around longer. Also gone in less than two weeks, From Justin to Kelly, and of course Alex and Emma.  |  IP: Logged Dave Williams Wet nipple scene Posts: 1836 From: Salt Lake City, UT, USA Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-02-2003 08:13 PM                        Let's not confuse quickness of stay with quality of film. Hollywood homicide is guilty only of trying to succeed in a genre that continuously fails, time and time again. It didn't have special effects, it didn't have some old chick called the oracle, it didn't have a terminator, it didn't have any bad boys... etc. It failed simply because it chose its way to failure. How many blockbuster films have we had this year that actually sucked, and bad.. but yet they made money because they have all that aforementioned stuff. Hollywood keeps churning out drivel. most of it can be entertaining, but most of it is fit mostly for the small screen. even George Lucas is pouring out crap. I am really surprised that any of these movies last longer than four weeks or so. But if you compare the box take from week to week, it almost feels like they should be gone. These movies have no staying power, and all we have to look forward to is more crap.

OTOH the Reading Cinemas in Manville is still playing it with the Reading ban on Fox and Universal. X2 opened to mucho hype on 5/2 -- it's now out of theaters where I live. The Matrix Reloaded opened to mucho hype on 5/16 -- now it's doubled up for nights only in the theaters that are still playing it. At the AMC Hamilton, Bend It Like Beckham has outlasted X2 and might outlast The Matrix Reloaded.

T-3 may have sent it on its way though...
