Heartbreak for Dreamworks Picture

[Blu Titan]

Could not have happened to a nicer company! Catch the Steven Speilberg reference in the article. No wonder they took the Toshiba bribe, even with the sucess of Transformers Dreamworks/Paramount are in dire straights.

Yes, and the movie that was unexpectedly number one last week and then this weekend was a DISNEY movie. Gameplan will most likely be out early next year on Blu-ray.

The trailer was probably the funniest parts of the movie and I didn't really laugh at that trailer.

You're the second person I hear this from. A friend saw it last night and said the same thing.

[Intamin]

The trailer just looked like another copy of a ben stiller movie doing the same thing he's done 100 other times. It didn't make me laugh, and the movie looks terrible.

When NORBIT is considered one of your big hits, it's time to look in the mirror and evaluate yourself.

The trailer looked funny, but it also had the makings of a letdown movie.

They said harsh criticism hurt business. Yeah, making a low-level movie will do that.

I do not wish ill on anyone but I will be glad when his 'popularity' runs it's course. His acting prowess is only surpassed by Steven Segal.

I always found it silly when the format war creeps into movie watching in theatres. People announcing with glee how a certain film did poorly. I had a big fight with an AV$er over this when he was lambasting a BD studio's title.

Just watch the movie's folks, geez.

After Paramount's abominable action on August 20, I think most here are quite happy to see bad things come their way.

This just in from the "No Sh!t" Department.

A DreamWorks spokesman said the studio was "certainly very disappointed" with the opening, adding that harsh critical reviews hurt business.

What do you mean that people don't want to pay $10 a ticket from a movie that is supposed to suck?

For all you fense riders out there, PICK A SIDE! If you don't, the war will continue then nobody will win and the traditionalist movie fans that like to accually buy their movies instead of burning or bootlegging their movies and have them in hand, will have to download them from microsoft or someone else. I prefer you buy BD but if you want "the other" that is regetible but atleast you picked a side. Stop being so wishy washy about it and buy something, eather or. Seeing the posts on this thread it concerns me that we are spending more time griping about it then doing something make the studios that made the choice to go to HDDVD pay for their mistake every step. If you love BD pick up a weapon (or in this case a Blu-ray) AND FIGHT! Personally i am tired of seeing both formats see-saw back and forth, i love BD and will be here success or failure, but we need a break out from this routine. Who's with me!

Yeah, I did not know Norbit was made by DreamWorks. The family rented the movie from Comcas OnDemand a while back. I could not watch it at all. The parts I did watch were unbearable. THe movie was crap crap crap. Eddie Murphy needs to find a REAL character to play and not these constant 50+ characters.

Anyway, the movie was shit. Most movies lately are crap.

Let people spend their money how they want. If somebody wants to support both formats, then great. I personally won't spend my money on a format that can't give me the best picture and sound. I won't spend my money on a format that delivers crappy releases. I won't spend my money on an unflexible format that can't grown with new technologies. I won't spend my money on a format that has limited possibilities in other areas like PC and software and personal video. If somebody else wants to spend money on both formats, then great.

This format war is not a horse race. This format war is a debate between the pros and cons of two different technologies. Support the technology, discuss the technology, enjoy the technology, just get off of the sales numbers and Nelson Rankings. This war will not be decided by the consumer buying discs. This war will be over when manufacturers realize the limitations of HD DVD. This war will be over when studios start to care about picture quality and sound quality and realize that HD DVD is far from perfect.

If somebody wants to spend money on both formats, great. I know I won't be.

I think it says something about the attitude of movie audiences these days. They saw Heartbreak Kid the first time it came out... when it was called "There's Something About Mary". Maybe it is Ben Stiller or they're tired of the whole Farrely Bros formula, with the endless string of raunchy, over-the-top sex jokes and sight gags (I didn't see SuperBad but it seemed to do well at the BO. If people enjoy that sort of thing, more power to them. Who am I to judge?).

Personally, I'm not willing to plunk down $10 of hard-earned jack for movies like that anymore. The genre really got old for me. I'd rather see something light-hearted and funny.

LOL this is sad.

[shatta]

do u think paramount(parent) molested dreamworks(child) when the studio was young

Not all. I care more about movies than the format war. I'll hate on a movie because it sucks, not because it comes from a HD-DVD supporting studio.

My boycott of Paramount is limited to not buying their HD-DVDs. But I'll be there day one when Sweeney Todd comes out, because I find bringing the format war spite elsewhere kind of silly.

THAT MOVIE SUCKED THE HORSES DICK IT SHOWED!!! seriously it was funny up until the five minute sex scene... want a quote? If you are under 18 do not proceed "Uh, yeah c**k me like a black man!" WTF!!! Then there was another after that! then it showed a horse having sex with a girl!!! The scenes may have been important to the story but they did not have to be like watching a porno! those scenes in total made up 12 mins of the movie.
