brandondash how is life as a virgin nerd masturbating to There Will be Blood?

What makes you think that i actually care about what critics say about a movie? Sorry but unlike you i am not a slave to the critics i can see a movie using my own FREE WILL. Have fun in the basement tonight.

P.S. See that tobasco, you have a nerd attack me so i am in my right to attack him back.

Captain, you are right, you have the RIGHT to attack him, but that doesn't mean you have the obligation. Better if you had just taken the high road and ignored Brandon. You enjoyed Prom Night, and that's great, but why would you even bother to care what someone else thinks of your opinion? Ignore him, let it go, and know that you enjoyed the movie even if he didn't. His comment added nothing to the discussion, so don't compound the problem by giving him ammo to start another fury of name calling.

Besides, what's wrong with masturbating to There Will Be Blood :-)

LOL...hey, I masturbated to that movie, too...that's some good stuff. Not as good as something with Jenna Jameson, but, still...

I kid, of course.

Hey, Akn...

I'm not "assuming" that nobody liked it, I am simply going by what I thought, what the public (in many a publication) thought and, of course, its performance at the box office.

Adding all of that up, one can see that the movie (and I'm not saying that critics are right here) didn't perform well, critically. It made what it did financially, for one week, and then took a nosedive.

This tells me that people went and saw it, didn't like it much, and don't care to see it again.

But you cannot say that the reason nobody is seeing Prom Night is because they "can't afford it". I agree prices are high, but if a movie is good enough (such as "Sarah Marshall" or "horton" -- though I didn't particularly LIKE Horton much, but a lot did), people will find a way to pay for it and see it over and over.

While Prom Night was a financial success, it didn't do well with a lot of critics or to a lot of the people who saw it...no big deal. That's just the way it is.

You liked it and that's all that matters to you. It's all good.

PS: Yeah, I saw the attack. Nice job...I think. :-/
