THE LIST Jan. 1- Dec. 31

Dude, seriously, if you don't like the way we do things, just LEAVE. Don't give us this "I'm going to go away after this year's awards and I won't come back until I find a movie worth bashing" nonsense. Just leave. We're going to keep on bashing movies, some of which will actually win awards, most of which won't. If you can't take us bad mouthing a few movies you might be interested in, just don't hang around here. Common sense.

And a little tidbit of information, "Pink Panter 1" didn't make its budget back until AFTER it was on DVD. In the middle of Feburary, an equally bad money making movie month like Janurary, movies rarely make over $100 in theaters alone, so don't keep your hopes up of "PP2" being the first blockbuster of the year. And I don't know who lost respect for Movie Preview Critic, either than you maybe, because his YouTube site gets viewers in the hundreds on a daily basis and very few of his videos are under 4 or 5 star rates. 

And Steve Martin rehashing something that's been done six times before him is a "cinematic achievement"?! We at the Razzes don't ask for much. We simply want to see money be invested in movies with hope, emotions, and moralities, not something that was thrown together to make a fast buck. We don't give into the great American hype machine that is H-Wood, we can spot a subpar product once we get past the glitter they throw on it.

You seem to get bent out of shape about us making a few tongue-in-cheek jokes about movies, but in the end, the ones that get nods are the ones you agree with, so I don't see what you have to worry about what it is we do. If you don't like it, just leave. It's that simple.

Keep in mind critics and moviegoers are two totally different animals. Critics are usually people in their 30s, 40, 50s, etc. They are being paid to see these movies, and they have seen many, MANY movies to prepare to be a professional critic. Moviegoers are usually in their teens, they care only about horror movies, gross-out comedy, or action movies. And they are only going to have a good time if anything else. While a critic seeing a movie for the quality, moviegoers are just going for fun. So they are going to give the same movies very different reviews. Feburary is next week, and the trend of the worst movies of the year will go on. We'll see how they will fair.

I see your point, but some moviegoers (like myself) will see anything.  I'm going to guess that three new titles will be highlighted next week (one's a bizarre romantic comedy, one's a revival, and one's Star Wars, Jumper, and Heroes clumped into one).

Actually, what I meant was that some of those people have Jedi-like powers.

I looked at synopses for each of the two films and found that I was dealing with two different plots.  Then I looked at the film series on Wikipedia and I made an important discovery: the 2006 film, The Pink Panther, was not and was never meant to be a remake of the original.  Instead, it was "a new starting point for a comtemporary series introducing the Clouseau and Dreyfus characters along with the famous diamond to a new generation."  The critics however, misinterpreted the film as a remake and that didn't end well.

By the way, where are the forums for He's Just Not That Into You and Push?

PP2 is a remake from the standpoint that they are essentially taking a formula that was done well for a while (and eventually overdone) then simply recasting it to make the same type of film in a grossly inferior fashion. Steve Martin is, in his way a talented guy -- but he isn't Peter Sellers. The simple fact that anyone in Hollywood thought that relaunching this classic series was a good idea is simply a reflection of the laziness and lack of creativity that currently haunts the movie industry....and provides us with a wealth of riches.

As has previously been noted several times, only a small percentage of the movies discussed on this forum ever get nominated for anything.
