Originally posted by moviewizguy As a fan of the director, I'm excited for his next film, "Unknown White Male" which seems like a remake of some other movie I can't pin point on but the cast look great (so far), starring Diane Kruger, Liam Neeson, and Frank Langella.

If it sounds like something done before, it might be because it was done in an episode of "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer", in which Xander wakes up on more to find out he has been replaced by a clone of himself. That or one of many other movies in which the main character is replace with a copycat for some reason. The title of the movie itself is the same as that of movie made in 2005 about a man waking up in Coney Island with no memory of who he is.

Well, it could be that it doesn't matter how talented your cast is, they can only be as good as the material they are given to. That and the fact everyone wrote the movie off as a female version of "The Good Son" with an M. Night twist ending, which it pretty much is.

That's okay, just as long as you also understand that this movie is not going to reach the level of success that you claim it will, because it won't.

The fact that this got a Worst DVD of the Weak is just hilarious to me, considering MWG's rabid obsession with it. But when you start comparing Orphan with the other horror movies this year (other than PA) it stops looking all that bad. Jennifer's Body also may have had some originality to it, but it seemed to have failed, too.

And, by the way, I liked your joke, Michaels.

Well, I watch alot of indie movies that I hear are good, but did next to nothing at the box office because they were indie movies, even though the major studios like to pretend they don't exist by giving them NO marketing what so ever. But I don't go  posting on forums saying they are as iconic as other more famous movies in their genre, or should get Oscars nods, because I know it's not true.

Speaking of studios and indie movies, rumor has it that Paramount wants to go the way of "Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows" by making a sequel to "Paranormal Activity." Which reminds me of that joke about a writer and director both saying how great their soup is...until a studio head pisses into it, and claims that he "made it better."

You would too if a movie you saw was great, but nobody had seen it. 

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: I hardly think a film that grossed over $40 million can accurately be described as being seen by "nobody" (B.O. MoJo LINK). Among 2009's crop of crappy horror movies, ORPHAN ranks somewhere in mid-range, as far as ticket sales go -- Clearly dwarfed by the phenomenon that is PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, but still making more money than LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT,  HALLOWEEN II or JENNIFER'S BODY.

You're not seriously asking this question, right? We all know the answer is YOU, you're just using this as an excuse to bump the topic up.

I think you should strongly consider a career in politics considering all the overhyping you like to do; many goverment campaigns could use someone like you.
