Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

My wife and I attempted to watch Pink Panther (with Steve Martin) yesterday.  We made it about 15 minutes, we were bored and unamuzed.  We stopped watching it and will not finish it.  This is one of the few movies we've disliked so much that we didn't finish it.

Anyone else see this disaster of a movie?

Vette(s): 1980 L-48 still in the middle of a frame-off.
We politely gritted our teeth through the whole thing (w/friends at show). This was not one of Steve Martins finest. My G/F kept saying "oh what a cute car."  This one will be in the bargain bin at Wally world.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

Well, in true Hollywood style, get ready--'cause like it or not, Steve
Martin's just been signed up for another Pink Panther movie.

Similarly, the "Die Hard" series is being resurrected (yes, with Bruce Willis
starring). Sylvester Stallone is writing and starring in yet another "Rocky"
sequel (he's also trying to get another "Rambo" deal done). Another
"Superman" picture is in the early stages of development. "Batman" is
coming back again...the third (and supposedly final) "Pirates" film is being
finished, for distribution next year (but Disney's made so much money off
this franchise that the assumption in the industry is that they're going to
push for at least a fourth movie; and Johnny Depp has signaled that he's
ready to return himself).

Sound like the film business is on a treadmill--"all sequels and remakes,
all the time"--? That's because it is.

The reason is, whether us Americans like a movie or not is increasingly
less critical to the studios. The international box office has become much
bigger and therefore more attractive. Did you see "MI:3"? That picture did
more than twice the business overseas as it did in the U.S. Same with
many of the major films that have been released this year. (Pixar's "Cars"
is one notable exception--it's playing better in America than overseas).

So, while the studios certainly still target the domestic audience for their
product, its success or failure here no longer dominates their overall
decision making when it comes to choosing what movies to make. The
take from Europe and the Asia-Pacific region (along with other
international markets) play a steadily-growing-larger role in those
decisions. Your entertainment dollar just isn't as important as it once was.

And if you want an idea of just how truly global this business has
become, I've got a screenplay under consideration right now by an
American producer in LA who's representing counterparts in Russia who
are looking for a project that their partially government-funded (and
growing) industry can develop and produce, for international distribution.

It's a whole new world out there...

I can count on one hand the number of remakes that are worth  even waiting for them to come on cable. The Postman always rings  Twice was fairly good, Titanic was excellent, Cape Fear wasn't bad either.

The Longest Yard was pretty sucky,King Kong was just about the FX and if the 1st one was good, just leave it be!
