Before I discuss todays topic I've been thinking more and more about Average Joe and I think that the big secret ending was totally staged. I mean seriously, what the hell's dating Fabio matter. The dude, Gil, kept saying "think about what problems you'd have if your girl dated Fabio. Those are mine." I was thinking who gives a shit. I think that's better, specially since he was the hot guy. She really chose me cause I was hot and not because she loved me. Anyway, they probably realized it wasn't gonna work out and plotted out this little plan while "in the sack" some night.
It was just so hokey.
Anyway, who's bringing down the curve you ask? I say teenagers. Disposable income, with no bills. Ah, remember the days. Their power in regards to anything pop culture is becoming crazy. This why Mtv placates to them.
This issue for came up the other night on the View Askew Message Boards. Someone saw in Entertainment Weekly a snide comment about Kevin Smith's upcoming Jersey Girl, saying "Perhaps hoping to take the sting out of having helmed Jersey Girl, self-proclaimed geek Kevin Smith will write and direct a big-budget update of the interracial action flick for Miramax."
I know I haven't seen this movie but KS calls it his most personal film, I doubt that it suffers from J-Lo and Affleck. (And Hot Sauce I don't want to hear that you htink Affleck blows. You kill me a little bit everytime you say it.) But I assure you this movie will be quite a beautiful film. And EW doesn't realize that KS is directing Green Hornet BECAUSE of what he did in Jersey Girl. Worse yet, what no one understands is that J-Lo dies in the first 10 minuites of the film. IT'S IN THE TRAILER!
So I mention on the Web Board that all will be well when JG wins the opening weekend and EW is forced to eat their words. And some else repsonded saying that Scooby Doo 2 will probably win the weekend... though JG will have the staying power.
Which is when it finally hit me too hard that teenagers are ruling the box office. WHY would anyone but them go see Doo 2? We all saw the first on HBO, weren't that impressed that I'm gonna blow $8.50 on ANOTHER one.
DO you know who Linsay Lohan is? She's the girl from Freaky Friday (the remake.) SHE just released Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and in March is releasing Mean Girls about popularity in HIgh School. And in November she's releasing ANOTHER movie!
This girl owes her popularity and movie career (such as it is) due to 16 year olds with disposable income. They may be ruining movies for everyone. Studios understand their spending power and we'll be seeing more Drama Queen movies than we will Houses of Sand and Fog.
And that will be sad. At least we still have our action movies

Oh and the really good news.
Posted by matty at March 3, 2004 12:24 PMUnfortunatly, it's all a money game. Why make an expensive "good" movie when you can make 3 cheap movies that will give you a higher return at the box office? Plus what I think you are seeing in the movie market is just economics 101 -supply and demand. Teenagers see twice as many movies as adults so in return you have twice as many movies geared toward that market. I don't think it's the teenagers fault that we are getting a shit load of bad movies. I blame the adult who only goes to a movie once every couple of months. If more people went to the "good" movies the more good movies we would have. It's that simple. So it's in our hands... we can either start seeing more movies or kill all of the teenagers? You decide....
P.S. More Family Guy? WoooHOoooo!!!!!!!

it's always nice to get a mention.
why do you have such a strong emotional attachment to ben???? odd.
i have something positive to say...affleck doesn't blow the most...someone blows just a bit more...and you know who i think that is. j-lo
won't be seeing the flick.

Therefore, Jew, Though justice be thy plea, consider this, That in the course of justice none of us Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy; And that same prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy.
