FIB a new kind of movie blog

Rants and Ramblings

I was stumbling a few days ago and found the Film Industry Bloggers or FIB.  What makes them different is that they have gone out and found people that work in Hollywood to write about what it is they do.  Everything from director to music supervisor.

Postal gets pulled

Rants and Ramblings
It came out yesterday that distribution has been pulled for Postal. Appearantly the theaters decided not to carry the movie. There is speculation that the reason is becasue of the political content that really is not in favor of the current administration and others say it is due to the track record of Uwe Boll’s previous films. Here are Fridays results followed by some comments from Uwe himself. Understandably he is not a happy camper and has some questions he would like answered. I am interested in those answers myself.

UB:The number 4 movie is SPEED RACER and it is still showing on 6500 screens in 3600 theaters but it made only $2 Million. What this means is that 30 to 40 people in total in 5 to 6 showings per screen which means around 5 tickets were sold per screening. From number 5 on it goes even more dramatical down.

So can anyone tell me why we are not getting screens for POSTAL?

Can anyone explain what movies are running next week in 15+ plex theaters?

SPEED RACER in front of 1 person per screening ?

Even if you show INDIANA JONES and NARNIA on 4 to 5 screens each, there should be space for POSTAL with no PROBLEM!

NARNIA was estimated at $85 million for this weekend and now it looks more like $65 million.

TMW: Have you asked if it was about the political content of the film?

UB: I have and they have been giving me the same run around they have been giving the press. Either they don’t answer or they give some cheap excuse.

I think the man has some valid questions. It does make a whore wonder if there is not something else behind it. If you want help out Uwe Boll and The Movie Whore call got to the following sites and use send some email to ask why POSTAL got pulled.

Cinemark contact page

AMC contact page: Only page I could find to submit.

Regal contact page

So You Think You Know Movies

Rants and Ramblings

If there is one thing we have an over abundance of in this world, it is critics. Everyone is a movie critic. Now type movie reviews in Google, you may get something like this. I am no different. I think I have unparalleled taste in movies and consider myself an expert. I never said I was right.

The Whore I am

Rants and Ramblings, The Whore's Lists

I actually wrote this piece 3 months ago for my personal blog site and felt it fitting to move it over here.

I was reminded yesterday by my girlfriend that I am indeed The Movie Whore. I was on a website with free streaming movies. I decided to watch Doom. You know the 2005 bomb staring none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I have indeed seen the movie before and I do acknowledge it to be a steaming pile of shit, however it’s an entertaining steaming pile of shit. At least I think so. I am not saying I would own it but on a Saturday afternoon it’s a nice diversion. My girlfriend seemed to be in pain as I told her what movie I had found and was planning to watch. She pointed out the groups of people it pissed off from the fans of the game to fans of Dwayne Johnson. She also made statements that it was the worst movie of the year that year, I got curious and know how to use Google. Yes I searched out the worst movie of 2005. I got several results but the one that stood out was “Alone in the Dark” (Really shitty game movie starring Christian Slater) as the worst movie of 2005. I could not disagree as I mistakenly watched this movie a second time because it was so bad I had blocked it out of my mind that I had originally seen it. Yes it is that bad. Then again I am the Movie Whore and should retain such knowledge. I watched Doom anyway. She gave me that “you really are just you” look and my day continued into the evening and I went to sleep.
