>i personally think that those two film directors don't even >CARE how much their movie is going to sell, they're doing this >because of the fact they LOVE filmaking and want to please >their cult-like fans, which is exactly PURPOSE for making >"grindhouse". >
lol. they care about making money. you just gulliable to believe anything QT says. QT has always been and will always be about money. Same with Rob.
>of course a 3-hr, R-rated film paying homage to BAD MOVIES is >not going to sell on an EASTER WEEKEND. no coincidence that >all of the other movies that topped were family orientated >films. >
no coincidence at all that QT made a bad movie, and Rob made a good one.
no coincidence at all that the movies you said didn't sell by them, they actually did sell quite well.
these first week numbers are a disappointment, especially with their stature in the movie business, particulally Tarantino who has the audience and critics in the palm of his hands.
Or at least so he thought. lol
>if they were under some sort of major film industry control >then this movie would of NEVER gotten the greenlight because >of the fact that it wouldn't of sold in the box office, >however rodriguez is COMPLETELY independent with DIMENSION >merely being its distributor.
lol
crappy movies get made all the time.
what they are doing isn't maverick. its actually quite the opposite.
its quite safe what they are doing, they just didn't expect it to flop like it has given their so-called status.
