Made you Look !

Some of the verbiage in the article is pretty hysterical...This woman should write comedy !

Example :

" Film’s performance took Hollywood by utter surprise, shattering the decades-old thinking that females, particularly those over 25, can’t fuel a big opening or go up against a male-driven summer tentpole. "

And :

" It wasn’t a matter of “Crystal Skull” underperforming. Tentpole, jumping the $200 million mark at the domestic box office, declined a respectable 54% in its second frame..."

This writer almost seems to have a 'tentpole' fetish...

Anyway , I hope this beating was also felt by Georgie Lucas , and I hope he'll learn to keep his thumb out of the 'pie' , so to speak , at least anywhere that he thinks his scribal skills are required...

It's hard to imagine that this is the same genius who was the creative force behind screen legends like 'American Graffitti' , Star Wars ,
and 'THX-1138'...

I didn't hate KOTCS as much as 'Temple of Doom' , but it wasn't up to the standard of 'Raiders' or 'The Last Crusade'...

Okay , so Indy '1' and '3' were good ; this pattern suggests we should look forward to 'Indy 5'...

Please , Mr. Lucas , the script doesn't need you...And , we all know you're not doing it for the coin...

But would Sluts In The City really have performed as well 20 years ago? Being a slut wasn't really as fashionable until recently.

My guess is that there are a lot of women over 25 that would like to see a happy ending movie where the lead gets married to a rich dude.

Sort of the Cinderella syndrome; it's the female equivalent to the Peter Pan syndrome (lol).

Really folks this has been hyped to death since it went off the air 4 years back. You also have to consider that included in that hype was the most powerful woman on TV today - Oprah - lending her considerable clout. Is it any wonder that it did well at the B.O.?

Quite frankly I don't get the whole SJP thing (I'm a Kristin Davis fan). I think its mostly the fashion, but meeting the millionaire hunk who'll marry you in good ol' NY could be a draw as well.

"Does that seem right to you?"

I agree about the whole Crystal Skull thing. It wasn't as good as either 1 or 3, as entertaining as it was. What was with that whole sci-fi ending anyway?

I read somewhere that Ford and Spielberg were not happy with many scripts submitted by Lucas and that was part of the hold up for finally making Indy 4. Lucas, I believe, has lost his golden touch in terms of scripts. SW eps 1,2 & 3 proved that. He definitely lost the fun and wonder of the first 3. Besides, the best of them was not directed by Lucas. TESB was directed by a hollywood vet who knew how to put together a story. So its no surprise that of Sexy gals had an easy time of knocking Indy out of the box.

Also, I could kill you with my brain.

I think you nailed it...Cinderella syndrome !

SJP is interesting to watch , but I totally agree about Kristin Davis...She's completely 'my type' , which I can't truly say about any of the other 3...

There are a lot of other films I've got to see ahead of this one...S&TC is just not a priority for me...

I'm almost afraid to see the movie. I love the series because it was about more than fashion and eye candy. These woman talked real and tackled interesting issues, such as the assumption that any sexually active woman is a "slut"

I'll be so disappointed if the movie really is nothing but a Cinderella fantasy. I'm already horrified to hear that Big builds Carrie a fantasy shoe closet. Puke! The whole humor of her shoe fetish was how ridiculous and unrealistic it was!

Thank you for mentioning that.

The "hookers and they're [not my grammatical usage] grandma" thread had me a little worried. I'll accept Mal's usage of the word "whore" only because I love him so but even Jayne wouldn't call a woman who enjoys sex a slut.

Sluts don't enjoy sex, they enjoy the manipulation it can entail. REAL WOMEN enjoy sex.

I guess I'm alone here in that I actually liked TOD, so maybe I won't think KOTCS will be so bad when I see it.....?

Yeah, it amazes me that any fan of Joss's can have a parochial attitude towards women's sexuality. *scratches head*

I missed this other thread. Probably a good thing, I'm guessing LOL!
