Yeah, I think of the Saturn Sci-Fi Awards whenever I see saturnwatcher's name as well. This movie might get a nod or twoo from them, but I'm more than pretty sure "The Dark Knight" will take home everything at that award show. Much like I hope "Disaster Movie" will sweep at OUR award show. 

Originally posted by MiguelAntilsu Come to think of it, Saturnwatcher's name implies a connection to the Saturn Awards, which recognize the best in science-fiction.  This film has a one-in-a-million chance of getting nominated for one of those, but I doubt it will.

But in terms of money, "Speed Racer" had the bigger budget (well into the hundred millions) while "Babylon" was in the 70 millions. In term of critics (at least those at RT), "Babylon" was the bigger bomb -- But in box-office-gross-versusd-budget, "Speed Racer" was the bigger loser... 

"Speed Racer" is hands-down the biggest flop of the year. "Love Guru" only made back half of what it cost to make, and "Meet Dave" was lucky it even broke into the double digits... 

Originally posted by #1-Film Freak!! Out of morbid curiosity, I decided to check out to the current total grosses on this film: On a budget of about $70 million, B.O. MoJo sez it has not even taken in $22 million (LINK). That makes this an even bigger Spectacular Failure than "Love Guru" (LINK) and almost as big a bomb as "Meet Dave" (LINK) -- though this year's Loss Leader has GOTTA be "Speed Racer" ($120 million budget/$44 million gross - LINK)...

If Hollywood understood irony, I'd have to say that the director of a derivitive, formulaic piece of clunk like "Babble on A.D.D." complaining that studio hacks "ruined the vision" of his film would be the ultimate example of it.

But as we all know, Hollywood doesn't understand irony...

or humor...

or genuine emotion...

or recognizable human characters...

or...

Ooh, a "special award" for Worst Studio: 20th Century Fox!

I like it!  

Originally posted by Budgieboy Considering that 20th Century Fox in 2008 released Meet Dave, The Happening, the unbelievably unnecessary X Files 2, Jumper, Meet the Spartans, Deception, 27 Dresses, What Happens In Vegas, Space Chimps, Mirrors, and now this (where even its own director has came out claiming its crap) can we have A Special Award for Fox? Pwetty please!?!  Response from Head RAZZberry: WOW! Whatta list!!  I shall take your suggestion "under advisement."

Chris Tucker gave the worst performance of his career in "The Fifth Element!" And that's considering that Tucker's best performance was getting blown away by Sam Jackson in "Jackie Brown"!

Actually, it was  Chris Tucker. I hated "Fifth Element" for Tucker...the stupid storytelling...the over-acting...the cheesy dialogue... 

Need I go on?

I liked The Fifth Element, but I recognize it's a wonderful piece of chaotic storytelling, and some people don't find so much chaos to be that wonderful.

ITs STAR IS ONE of the FEW "ACTORS" WHO CAN MAKE SYLVESTER STALLONE SEEM ELOQUENT...

ITs PLOT IS TAKEN from a CLASSIC SCI-FI NOVEL, BUT IT's BEEN RE-WORKED BEYOND RECOGNITION...

AND IT's ABOUT as LIKELY to MAKE BACK ITs $70 MILLION BUDGET as UWE BOLL IS to GET an OSCAR® NOMINATION AS BEST DIRECTOR...

"IT" IS BABBLE-ON, A.D.D. -- THE LATEST  VEHICLE STARRING 2004 WORST ACTOR NOMINEE VIN DIESEL.

AND IT SEEMS DOOMED to the SAME FATE EARTH FACES as the FILM OPENS.

BUT DON'T LET US BE the ONLY ONES RAGGIN' on THIS RAGING-HORMONE BEHEMOTH...FEEL FREE to CHIME IN, and GET IN a KICK-to-the-GUT of YER OWN... 

DIESEL: "If you gize nominate me one more time, all I can say is...I'd better not "Vin"!!!
