Young Adult is about Young Adults, hence, Star Wars.

Simple really.

 

 

 

Which is why 99% of movies considered Young Adult are based on Young Adult books.

 

Must be purely a coincidence.

 

Most certainly.

Twilight is NOT four quadrant in any way. It does have a periphery demo of adult women but basically no male fans. And it was originally marketed to female teens=YA

 

Who said it was?

I mean sure it was good, I enjoyed it enough. But it could have been so much more to be honest, it could have been something that resonated rather than just an enjoyable time with some likeable actors in an appealing setting.

Well, I personally disagree.

Unforgettable would have been good ass Lifetime time movie. I would have enjoyed the movie from what I read/heard! I'll check it on netfflix

It's funny, he complains Passengers is too predictable when the proposed changes would make the movie about 10 times more predictable. Plus, in his "little" rearranging, Passengers would be robbed of the most interesting element going for it, so no thanks, not interested in another depthless space thriller.

I was thinking the same thing. Did he really suggest that turning Chris Pratt's character into a horror movie villian would be more interesting? Also, I don't think that changing to Jennifer Lawrence's perspective would make the movie more mysterious and intriguing; rather it would make it trite and predictable because it would be super obvious to the audience what had happened. At that point, you're also changing the genre to one that the writer did not want to explore in the first place.

Passengers was a very sneakily effective movie. Even if you did not like it you thought about it. It was sort of like an ink blot test. It engaged the viewer in an unusual way.

Willis's career is so weird. He commands a lot of money even now (he fell out of Expendables 3 because he wanted 3M for 3 days instead of 2M), he obviously does not care about script or anything, just how much money is coming his way.

 

 

Yeah, for those DTV movies, I think I read he got $1M/day thus why he's usually in the same suit on the same set for the entirety of the movie.

 

Oh and on Nic Cage, you know that old scene where he does the ABCs? He almost matches that recently in a movie called Arsenal (starring Adrien Grennier as well as John Cusack who, like Cage, probably only filmed for one day).

Free Fire is exactly what was promised on the tin

[drdungbeetle]

How the fuck did Willis do Moonrise Kingdom and then go back to shitting it up in shitty DTDVD movies?!

She got a lot of backlash for things (like withdrawing her name from the Emmys, citing not being happy with the writing of her character on Grey's Anatomy) nobody would bat an eyelash if a man did the same things. So industry-based sexism, in a way.

 

The Knocked Up comments not long after the movie came out were a poor choice, though. Trashing the critically-acclaimed box office smash that made you famous is a bad look for anybody.

 

It also didn't help that her mother was her manager for a while, and she was very difficult and demanding. 

 

Her career tanking like it did was almost entirely of her own doing.
