That was funniest thread/post combo related to movies since the thread where Kill Bill overtook Passion of the Christ entitled "God was cut".

(Stands up) I will see it.

Yup. For two things:

1. A redone Switchfoot classic (which probably won't even be in the movie even though it's on the soundtrack), "Sooner or Later/Soren's Song" (picked by moi as the greatest song never heard by anyone)

2. Trailers.

Haven't been to the movies since The Life Aquatic. This should be quite the disappointment. That said, seeing bad movies with friends > seeing bad movies alone.

So is anyone on GAF going to see this?

We were thinking about going to see it while we're down at the timeshare this weekend... but uh... well those plans might change... the movie part... not the trip to the timeshare. ;)

It's always fun to read reviewers try to out do each other while bashing a bad movie. Thank you Elektra, for the entertainment that you have, and will, provide.
 
I just want to know how bad Bob Sapp is in this flick. Is it as fun to see him swing Jennifer Gartner around like he does Japanese tv show hosts?

you could just see trailers from quicktime.com.

I already saw them all last night. Nothing new yet. Ice Princess??

I'm sure there'll be some sweet new trailers this weekend... and they won't just be a couple of inches wide.

A teaser trailer for Fantastic Four will be playing before Elektra, according to Slashdot.

That's not enough to get me to pay to see Elektra, though.

I wonder if it'll crack above 0%...has any movie on rottentomatoes ever had 0?

Ecks vs. Sever

edit: And strangely, that Cream of the Crop review from the Atlanta paper that's positive is not moving the 0%.

LOL...Rottentomatoes has decided it's not worthy to register...

While there are a few movies on RT that have 0% and only a few review, Ecks Vs Sever is (I think) the biggest RT flop, with a 0% over a whopping 97 reviews!

That movie just LOOKS like a direct to DVD movie. Maybe even to cable? Straight to ABC? Or maybe they just play bits and pieces of it during commercials.

Wait, Bob Sapp's in this flick?

I plan on avoiding this movie like the plague, but it's good to hear Bob's getting work - even if this does prove to be the death nail in his coffin.

He's also in that Longest Yard remake with Adam Sandler that's coming out soon.

He also recently fought to a draw in a mixed-rules match with Jerome LeBanner at the recent K-1 New Year's Eve show. Jesus Christ, the man keeps busy.

I was actually looking forward to this. I will likely still see it, but may just wait for the DVD release since I'm flat broke right now.

Funny thing is, if you read a random review on RottenTomatoes.com, most of them are not horrendously negative. Lots of two-star reviews... just nothing better than that. Very odd.

it's going to come out of you and it's going to taste so good

Master of Disguise came pretty damn close.

It has a 3.2/10 average though...

I'd also like to point out that Racing Stripes is beating it soundly, with 35% and a 5.3/10 rating. Think about that for a moment.

That's exactly how I think of Garner.

First tragedy, then farce.
You want to know whats really bad?

I went to see Ecks vs. Sever with my father and he liked it, alot...

my favorite part is how Ecks gets seperated from his wife.. two simultaneous fake car explosions and they both think the other is dead. :lol and never question why there wasnt a funeral/body :lol Its a movie everyone should see, its just that bad.

For me, everything from the neck down is hot. Boxy faced chicks do NOT do it for me
