[quote=teeter_g]He is accused of killing a guy in a southern county. I can't remember his name. Rocco something. Escaped from Sharpes Hospital, if you want to look him up.[/quote]

[quote=90sAce][quote=teeter_g]Another night. They still haven't caught the murder suspect that escaped one county over. They are thinking that he is headed for PA because that is where he is from. I hope they are right because that is the opposite direction from where I live.[/quote]
Sounds a lot like the plot of Halloween to me[/quote]

[quote=The Sci-Fi Slob]I had an attack of explosive diarrhea at the cinema today - very embarrassing. Just got to the toilet in time. I sat watching Chappie all sweaty and pale. I felt even worse after watching it.:([/quote]

[quote=Sedai][quote=seanc][quote=Sedai]Pretty sure I am part of the target audience. I grew up in the 70s, spent days on end at arcades in the 80s, and most of the people in the film are from my age group. With all that going for me, I still think Pixels looks like it will be a complete turd without any redeeming qualities at all. So at least one component of their target audience is most certainly not interested.  :D[/quote]

I am part of that group as well but doesn't it seem like the target is children in the 10 year old range that wouldn't know the characters?[/quote]

Exactly![/quote]

[quote=seanc][quote=Sedai]I got into an awkward situation where someone was really excited about it and showed me the trailer, and halfway through it I was already shaking my head. This is the same person that sat me down to watch "What Does the Fox Say", somehow thinking I would find it amusing. They were guffawing the entire time it was on, and I sat stone still until it ended, at which point I said "Please don't ever show me anything like that again!" 

Terrible![/quote]

Luckily this person wanted me to see how bad it was, so I was free to ridicule. I just don't know who the audience is for this. I get it with Grown Ups. I don't get it here.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]I presume it's the relatively low production cost of comedies when compared to epic sci-fi or something along those lines. They must take a lot more risks on these low-rent flicks where they have much less to lose.[/quote]

Doesn't have to be good, just has to find a target audience. If people watch it, it'll get made.[/quote]

If people watch it, it will get made? Uh, what? I think you meant "If the studio thinks people will watch it, it will get made."

How can people watch something if it hasn't been made yet?[/quote]
There are plenty of lame comedies which did great at the box office, that's what I'm saying. Even other Adam Sandler flicks like "Jack and Jill" which got savaged by critics managed to turn a profit[/quote]
