No, what he’s saying is that people have their likes and dislikes. Just because I say that Tranformers 2 was bad doesn’t make it a bad movie, just a movie that was bad for me.

I liked Wolverine quite a bit and tons of people thought it was crap. It made some big coin though.

No. What I’m saying is that just b/c YOU don’t like the film doesn’t make it “bad”. Some people thought Tranformers 2 was great(I didn’t), and some didn’t…its called an opinion.

Bull. Are you saying Transformers 2 is a great movie and deserves to make so much money? Come on. If a food product is disgusting to eat, the company that makes it will go bankrupt.
But in movie industry, no matter how much some movie sucks, if it has a “franchise name” it will make a ton of money. Yes, I am talking about Transformers 2 and Terminator Salvation and GI Joe and all the other dumb films for dumb masses.

EnglishGavz,
Liam Neeson is hardly strapped for cash. Maybe you haven’t heard, but he recently lost his wife, the love of his life and the mother of his two sons, the beautiful and talented Natasha Richardson, due to a traumatic head injury in a tragic ski accident. Perhaps, like a lot of us, he has plunged himself into work to help him deal with his grief. Neeson is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, to boot. He deserves better than an ill-timed, uniformed quip about his finances.

Huggybear,

Just because a film is “bad” to you doesn’t mean its “bad” to other people.

Why is it that all the bad movies make so much money? Are people retarded and are so drawn watch idiotic films? Bizarre.

So is Liam Neeson strapped for cash at the moment because his schedule seems full to bursting.

I can’t believe the literally challenged writers of “A Couple of Dicks” can’t think of a alternative title. Wtf guys?! ?!??!!!!

“Extract” made 4.5 mil, did I read that right? Wow that’s the biggest bomb I’ve seen in years for a decently cast film.

Old Man take a look at the movie poster for Julie & Julia, look at the girl that plays opposite of Streep.
Look at her finger as its in her mouth. Notice what that looks like ???

It’s an amazing story, the box results for “Julie and Julia.” Its made its production cost back and piled almost that in profit on top of that. Could this tell us something about the results for some other ideas coming out of Hollywood that sound a little crazy? Like the movie about Asteroids the game or Facebook. If I would have said a year ago; Hey I’ve got this idea for a movie about a washed up TV chef and some terrible home cook and it will probably cost about 40 Million to make would you invest in it?? Ohh, and by the way, it has an obscure title!

When I first saw the previews earlier this year I’d planned to see it, but have failed to, because of the danged forgettable title. It’s succeeded despite itself.
