Okay, still bored.
Trying to get an idea of what I need to get done before Saturday, so I can actually sleep in before the game. Or at least try to. I can knock myself out trying to get a chance to not wake up on a given day and think I have to go running around. Of course, I can plan the whole thing, and end up waking up at 8 AM anyway. Man...
Usually, I catch movie news off![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lithera's LJ, which is just fascinating to see as it is. But I wonder, sometimes. I've seen movies advertised, and some of them I actually look at and think "Do they really think that's going to succeed?" My fave example is a few from last year: Master of Disguise (which had the most unappealing trailers I have ever seen for a movie, hands down), and Eddie Murphy's "The Adventures of Pluto Nash." Not sure about 'Master,' but I know 'Nash' bombed, big time.
That's something I never understood. I mean, during filming, do the people that work on Bad Movies actually realize it? When they watch the rushes at the end of the day, do they not see what they're doing? Did some of these actors have their families held hostage by the director so they would stay with the film? (It's the only possible justification I can see for Dana Carvey doing 'Master of Disguise,' for example.)
Did Arnold look at the offer for T-3, sans Hamilton and Cameron, and did he not think 'This might be a bad idea...'
And right now, I'm flat-out terrified of even bringing up League of Extraordinary Gentlemen....
That was something I never really understood.

Date: 2003-06-26 11:22 am (UTC)Actually I'm getting the feeling that T-3 might be okay. It might actually be good. I just don't think it will be the movie people think it is. If that makes any sense.
League... Well.... Yeah.
I don't get it either, honestly.
