‘Sex’ lets women forget about their dull average depressing lives and feel like they are living Carrie or Sam’s life.

Okay, sure…but I’d much rather promote entertainment that will inspire people to lead better lives, rather than just allowing them to “escape” for an hour or two.

Guess you guys don’t know what it’s like to be a single female. ‘Sex’ lets women forget about their dull average depressing lives and feel like they are living Carrie or Sam’s life.

On the other side, a slasher flick is a slasher flick is a slasher flick.

Come on. Let’s get some unique scripts out there instead of remakes or comic book adaptations.

Gotta say, I love the MZ theater release bits every week. Count me out of either of these. Thankfully I get The Fall.

Liv Tyler seems to be making a bit of a comeback what with this and The Incredible Hulk in a few weeks.

On a side note, she has lips bigger than mine … and that’s really saying somethin’.

Ugh, totally agree on the ‘INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS’ business. The Blair Witch Project got to do it successfully, but that was the first–and last–time that it actually worked.

On second thought, they keep using it, and marketing isn’t a field that tends to repeat it’s mistakes ad nauseum. My guess is that the gimmick still works its charms on the below average IQ of the American moviegoing public. I know Americans aren’t stupid people, but they’re practically lobotomized when it comes to their filmgoing habits.
