Yep, Sin City was a fantastic failure that nosedived tremendously in its second week. It was a utter disappointment to the studio...and that's why they're making two sequels.
RR is one of the kings of cult cinema (he's also a member of A Band Apart, hello). Desperado and The Faculty aren't exactly Oscar films, yet they're loved by that precious demographic that the Studio is probably aiming for in the audience for WW. RR actually gets it, I don't think Joss does anymore. A great cult movie isn't just all about witty one-liners and kewl And Charisma's fans need to show Joel Silver what she's got. Someone get his fax number- STAT!

LOL Whatever works, man. The cover itself has a 70's vibe to it. Those WW manips could also be sent.
No, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I would like to see Joss have to call Charisma "Ms. Carpenter" on the set, no...

Both of which will be disappointments like SC was. What happened with Joss and his merry little band of followers is something occuring industrywide. You have these creators who 'rebel' against the norm and are praised for it by those amongst their little group of peers and followers yet the average person doesn't agree with it and instead opts to spend their money elsewhere. By embracing and promoting people like RR, the people with power are alienating larger and larger groups of people. They don't "get it anymore". Instead they want the audience to "get them" whcih isn't happening. Miller's problem is that he has an even bigger ego then Whedon and he's an even bigger example of what's going wrong. People don't like or want to see Batman and Superman fighting each other, they want to see them fighting as friends and working together. And Miller doesn't understand and agree with that. He never has, that's why you see him getting upset and throwing temper tantrums from time to time. |

And you can't tell me that any of the actors from BtVS and AtS wouldn't give their right arm to be in a RR or QT movie. The only person who I could see being unexcited would be Whedon, if only because of his high opinion of himself. Quote:

I have only this to say:
There's a reason it's called the lowest common denominator. Just because a lot of people like something doesn't mean it's good. Sometimes (not every time, but sometimes) it means the exact opposite. So a mass appeal doesn't guarantee it's of any quality, nor does a niche popularity mean it lacks in quality. What's good is good, and what's bad is bad, and the ticket sales really don't speak to quality IMO. They speak to marketing. Another aspect to remember is that people's tastes and quality don't always overlap, either.

Wow. How far off topic is this thread, eh?
How about CC's comment that her character is going to "give Veronica a run for her money"?
