Poor, star-crossed Riggins.

They are losing a shit ton of $$ on this thing. Guess the whole section of the population that never heard of this was bigger than they thought.

Saw it, it was okay. I enjoyed it but it was not particularly special or anything.

I guess I don't really understand how it could have cost $250 million to make. That's what did them in.

I wondered that as well?? It didnt look anymore expensive than your typical summer CGI blockbuster.

Its not a bad film, it certainly doesnt deserve all the negativity its gotten, but i guess thats what happens when something expensive flops.

It is what it is: a fairly entertaining cheesy sword-and-loincloth film that happens to be the original of the genre. It's already made $180M worldwide in 3 weeks; it's not the film's fault it cost so much to make.

Watching it now. I've heard that it's bad and know it lost upwards of $200 million. It's one of the main reasons that Disney bought Lucasfilm.

Also, I have a new personal interest. Something about the trailer they showing on Starz.

:D

You made this post 9 minutes ago.

I can only assume you've turned it off by now.

LMAO

It's still on because I had to pause for a beer and a shot of whiskey.

:D

Tim Riggins should retire

Its not outstanding, but neither is it as bad as the media would have you believe.

It wasn't a bad movie. It wasn't great, either.

But it served one purpose - it exposed another generation of young readers to ERB.

My daughter saw this movie with me after I begged her. "I read all the books when I was your age! It's a Disney movie, too!"

Immediately after seeing the film, she started downloading books to her Kindle. She's read 5 or 6 of them in total now and wants to read more.

DaneMcCloud 11-19-2012 02:11 PM

I fell asleep shortly after I turned it back on. It wasn't bad but I've got a bit of a cold and I'm worn down from sleep training a 3 month old.

I'll watch it again, for sure. The scenes with Bryan Cranston were somewhat amusing and it's too bad there weren't more.
