But Saturnwatcher: The term "crap" is entirely in the subject's own opinion. What you may hate and think is terrible, might seem brilliant to someone else.

We can get awfully bogged down in arguing the merits of various films based on whether or not they made money, all of which is nonsense at the end of the day. I can provide a lengthy list of films that were popular successes, but pieces of crap nonetheless. More rarely, but not unheard of are cases where pretty good movies bomb miserably at the box-office. The proof is what is on the screen and popular appeal is not necessarily the same thing as quality. About a billion whoopee cushions have been sold around the world...that doesn't make them less tacky. ]]> Tue, 03 Apr 2012 12:12:23 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50553#50553 SCHEDULE for 33rd RAZZIES® & 85th OSCARS® in 2013 : 32nd Annual "Winners" http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50552#50552 Author: SchumacherH8ter

Jack & Jill cost $79 mil to make. It grossed $148 mil worldwide. 79 times 2 is 158, which means that it's still in the hole. And that's not factoring the marketing budget.]]> Tue, 03 Apr 2012 08:42:41 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50552#50552 SCHEDULE for 33rd RAZZIES® & 85th OSCARS® in 2013 : 32nd Annual "Winners" http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50549#50549 Author: whatsthepoint

Actually, Jack and Jill did more than "break even" -- It grossed more than twice it's budget worldwide. Not that I care (haven't seen it, won't see it etc), but I was just pointing out that slight error Wink.

The first Grown Ups was, also, Sandler's biggest hit around the world. Since Jack & Jill didn't break even, maybe Sandler thinks that brand name alone well give him a hit. Remember how John Carter relied on brand name alone?

It was me who compared having RT users vote to the People's Choice Awards...and I would point out that People's Choice has considerably more categories than we do. I think you rather nailed my own concern though...by opening any category up to a popular vote we create all sorts of opportunities for a "flavor of the month" situation (as well as ballot box stuffing).
 
Let me just also note that I think moving the awards back to April 1 this year was probably not a great idea, fully acknowledging that it is my opinion and I am anxious to hear an assessment from Head Razz as to how effective he felt it was...I think it is best to strike while the iron is hot. The best time to hold the awards, imho is the evening prior to the Oscars. When it is held in that time frame, press and public attention is already focused in the direction of major movie awards. So the counterpoint is a lot more effective. I can understand the rationale that major nominees might be more likely to show up at this later date, but permit me to ask: Did that actually happen?

To whoever said that opening up one category makes it more like the People's Choice Awards: Don't the People's Choice open up half their categories to the public? Because this was only 1 category. I'm much more worried about them giving the award to a Twilight film than anything.

Money talks. The first Grown-Ups was a big hit at the box office, so of course they're going to do a sequel (actually I'm surprised Sandler agreed to it -- he always seemed to be anti-sequel).]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2012 16:46:41 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50538#50538 SCHEDULE for 33rd RAZZIES® & 85th OSCARS® in 2013 : 32nd Annual "Winners" http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50536#50536 Author: whatsthepoint

Sandler doesn't care. I doubt Sandler even knows what the Razzies are. I am 100% certain that the idea he even cares is not accurate at all. ]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2012 16:43:20 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50536#50536 SCHEDULE for 33rd RAZZIES® & 85th OSCARS® in 2013 : 32nd Annual "Winners" http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50526#50526 Author: SchumacherH8ter

The only differences between what I voted for and what won were in Worst Supporting Actress (I voted for Nicole Kidman), Worst Screenplay and Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-off, or Sequel (I voted for Bucky Larson in both categories). I'm not shedding any tears though.]]> Mon, 02 Apr 2012 07:10:51 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50526#50526 SCHEDULE for 33rd RAZZIES® & 85th OSCARS® in 2013 : 32nd Annual "Winners" http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5824&PID=50523#50523 Author: GTAHater767

Though I would've loved to see The Smurfs 3D, Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil, The Roommate, Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked, and Red Riding Hood each get 1 nomination, I am extremely satisfied that Jack and Jill beat Transformers: Dark of the Moon to Worst Picture.

To HeadRAZZBerry: Knowing you might be exhausted after the RAZZIE ceremonies, I say take your time with the following two questions.
1) Would you attribute much of the success to the April Fool's Day schedule?
2) Have you decided whether the Worst of 2012 RAZZIES will be in February or April of 2013?
