My point was this wasn't just another excuse for women to have fun for 2 hours by watchin'similar women complainin'bout men.Well,it seemed that way,but it ended just like THE BREAK-UP and THE NUMBER 23:A twist endin'where they ended up makin'fun of the message we all assume it had due to the genre.That's the purpose of twist endings:To decieve us with things we take for granted.]]> Tue, 23 Mar 2010 14:27:46 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=30469#30469 WOMEN Swimmin’ in Disappointment... : Originally posted by Vits Actually,one... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=30439#30439 Author: BurnHollywoodBurn

Still sounds too "SATC" to me.
 
They should create the "Worst Cast" category.
Considering there's no better time than now, due to a certain Stallone movie featuring a whose who of has-beens coming out this year, oh yes, it's time for a Worst Cast catagory!

Sure, awarding seven or eight actresses with one award might be appealing, but it would make more sense if it were a Worst Ensemble Cast award (which the Razzies should seriously consider for next year).
They shouldn't have nominated them like that.Spice Girls are a conjoined band,an offical team.

I just watched this yesterday, and while it was mediocre with the display of these womens' bubble-brained conversations and situations, it won't likely be a Razzie contender in the grand scheme of things...

Looks like it could be this year's Bratz.  Maybe you could nominate all five main characters jointly for Worst Actress (and maybe do the same with the three women in Mad Money)??

With five new movies coming out in one week, they pretty much blocked each other. In the end, "Burn After Reading" won. Sadly, Tyler Perry found success again, so expect another 12 movies of his in the course of the next three years.]]> Mon, 15 Sep 2008 02:14:28 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=18098#18098 WOMEN Swimmin’ in Disappointment... : When I told my cousin that there... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=18048#18048 Author: movieman

Also, everything else made in 1939 has the potential to be remade in this same fashion.]]> Fri, 12 Sep 2008 08:48:28 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=18046#18046 WOMEN Swimmin’ in Disappointment... : Originally posted by wetbandit82If... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=18000#18000 Author: Michaels

Well, now that the Celtics have won their 17th Championship, that movie is out-dated. I'd like to see what Christopher Nolan could do if he remade (or re-booted) most of the crappy comic book movies that have been made in the past decade.

Indeed, I like Wilder's idea that flops should be remade.  As long as they can correctly identify what went wrong intially, they can make them even better.  I know of a couple of titles I've seen that I wouldn't mind giving that treatment, if by some miracle I ever hit it big (the flat-but-with-a-kernel-of-an-interesting-idea "Celtic Pride" being my #1 choice at the moment).

Let's face it, any movie that has a group of women talking about their relationships and shallow aspects in their lives is automatically going to be considered a "SITC" rip-off. Yes, it's not right that they are remaking a movie that was perfect the way it was, but I don't think it will get more than the 48+ negative reviews that "Disaster Movie" did. ]]> Mon, 08 Sep 2008 14:59:13 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=17990#17990 WOMEN Swimmin’ in Disappointment... : As soon as I saw the preview to... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=17986#17986 Author: movieman

According to one site, this was produced by Mick Jagger!?!?!?! The only reason I can see him doing this is because he saw Blender's article on The World's Most Oversexed Musicians and he thought he needed to be higher than 6 and that he could be considered sensitive by more women. Shouldn't be hard considering the top 5 is filled with: 2 dead ones, 1 that has settled down, 1 that semi-settled down, and only 1 that's still going after the ladies.]]> Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:43:47 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=17984#17984 WOMEN Swimmin’ in Disappointment... : As of about 10:45am/PST on the... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3067&PID=17977#17977 Author: #1-Film Freak!!

As of about 10:45am/PST on the Monday before it's due to open, "The Women" has SIX reviews at RT, and is now officially rated "00%." It's starting to look like this may be one film they should have kept away from critics 'till opening day!

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: After a few Bumpy Picks this summer, it's good to be back on track with my Worst of the Weak choices. Here's a LINK to the RT Page for THE WOMEN to see if it can maintain that Elusive Perfect ZERO Rating...

Hard to believe this combination of talented ladies could wind up making a clunker. But when I checked its Rotten Tomatoes page just now, this had only 4 reviews -- all negative.

Guess you really can't judge a movie by its poster...

AS REMAKES GO, THIS ONE HAD an AWFUL LOT GOING for IT:

WRITER/DIRECTOR DIANE ("MURPHY BROWN") ENGLISH SEEMED PERFECTLY SUITED to ADAPT and UPDATE the ORIGINAL MATERIAL...

ON PAPER, THE CAST IS EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE: ANNETTE BENING, CANDICE BERGEN,CARRIE FISHER, CLORIS LEACHMAN, DEBI MAZAR, DEBRA MESSING, BETTE MIDLER, JADA PINKETT-SMITH, MEG RYAN and EVA MENDES.

GIVEN THAT the 1939 ORIGINAL IS CONSIDERED a CLASSIC, IT WAS PROBABLY INEVITABLE THAT THIS REMAKE WOULDN'T EQUAL ITs PREDECECESSOR...

BUT MOST of THOSE WHO'VE SEEN THIS NEW VERSION of THE WOMEN SAY IT's ONE of the MOST DISAPPOINTING REMAKES THEY'VE EVER SEEN.

OH, WELL! MAYBE THIS ONE's FAILURE WILL FINALLY CONVINCE HOLLYWOOD THAT LEGENDARY WRITER/DIRECTOR BILLY WILDER WAS RIGHT. ABOUT 40 YEARS AGO, WILDER SAID: "WHY DO THEY KEEP REMAKING the ONES WE GOT RIGHT? THEY SHOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED to RE-DO the ONES WE GOT WRONG the FIRST TIME!"

LADIES (and GENTLEMEN) PLEASE FEEL FREE to EXPRESS YOUR "FEMININE OUTRAGE" at THIS LATEST GRAVE-ROBBING of TINSEL TOWN's OWN ILLUSTRIOUS PAST...

MEG RYAN: "It was supposed to be a Victory Garden...instead, everything's comin' up RAZZIES®!!!"
