5 Ways Hollywood Tricks You Into Seeing Bad Movies

OK-I did press *stop* halfway through #5

Is that considered an Internet virtual movie theater walkout?

Good god we may never know-owing to the fact that I didn't even actually move, but I clicked a mouse button.

Hmmm-that movie doth didns't seemuth sucketh much.

I, however, seem to be recovering from it's suckingness.

I believe it gave me cancer.

Erm. So I'm a little bit guilty of the whole bait and switch thing in relation to Sweeny Todd. Pre-movie, it was a play., On a stage. With real people. My boyfriend...not so much on the musicals. So I told him we were going to see a play about a serial killer. And (much like the movie, I may add) I left out the whole singing bit (the movie cut half of the damn songs). But it all worked out okay, like the movie did. So I guess the moral of the story is...it's sometimes okay to smudge the truth of the content of a show.

good for you

Sweeney Todd is the greatest movie in the entire freaking world and if you don't like it then thats just too bad. It isn't even REMOTELY like Pirates of the Caribbean. It is beautiful, touching and heartfelt. Does the story of a barber, sent away so that a judge can rape his wife, sound like running aroud drunk trying to kill some octapus face? No.Just because it has blood and killing in it doesn't make it "gothic". The movie is 200 thousand times better than anything I have ever seen. If you don't like my comment, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to see it, and don't even bother replying with nasty comments.

Sweeney Tod wasn't really a bad movie, especially when you compare it to some of the other musicals that have come out recently.

*shudder*

The PirateXXX was better than the actual third movie, too.

that Margaret thatcher joke made me LOL!

calling someone stupid cuz they disagree with your opinion of a movie. not a mature way of doing things. now i'll throw a rock at you and we'll go tell our mommies.

He didn't necessarily say they were bad. He just said they give the wrong impression of genres. And how many of us really keep up with Broadway Musicals?

ok so I agree with the bad movies except Sweeney Todd. It was a musical first on Broadway and if you're too stupid to know that's what it is then you shouldn't see it. Also it was awesome.

Bad movies are the life blood of society. Without bad movies what would we talk about at the watercooler/coffee pot?

You wouldn't be tricked into seeing bad movies if you actually took the time to research the movies you are watching. The whole Sweeney Todd thing, for example... Some people didn't realize it was a musical.. Some people didn't realize how graphic it was... But with a little reasearch and a little reading of magazine articles, you can find out so much about what to expect. I think people just need to tune in more and realize how deceiving posters and previews can be.

Too bad that Sweeney Todd originated as a comic strip type of thing in England newspapers, evolved into an actual story with a more substantial storyline, was made into a musical, THEN found it's way to Hollywood. Yeah, such a gothic POTC.

hayleehavok, the only reason you're whining is because chances are you ARE in fact one of those kids that shops at Hot Topic.

If you had any common sense at all you'd understand why the author made that joke.

hayleehavok, you're an idiot. Try reading the article again, and if you still don't get why they said that go immediately to a reading comprehension course. Honestly!

"Why, it's Pirates of the Caribbean for the Hot Topic crowd!"

As a theater student this offends me, I'm pretty sure the ORIGINAL STAGE MUSICAL came out long before Hot Topic. Or at least, before Hot Topic got emo.

The Love Guru looked like it sucked snyways. Not funny at all!
