PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"So, I Guess No Estee Review?" |
LAST EDITED ON 09-03-12 AT 02:34 PM (EST)I'm almost impressed. It can't be easy to post the worst opening weekend for a movie ever. The Oogieloves Big Balloon Adventure holds the ignominious title after this weekends lousy opening. I should have gone to see it - I've always wanted to be the only person in an entire theater. I wonder what an oogielove is and how in H-E-double hockey sticks did they ever get a movie released in the first place? 
Capn2patch put me in motion!

I didn't realize just seeing the commercials would be enough to kill it. I'd figured it was based on a specialist channel property (first guess: Sprout) which I'd never heard of and everyone in the circle cared too much to tell me about. As it turns out, the only place these things ever appeared was in a series of public service announcements. Apparently the creator thought people would remember those. And he's the -- mind? -- person? -- visionary? -- torture artist behind the Teletubbies, so you'd think he'd know a little more about attention spans.This, BTW, was not the worst opening weekend for a movie ever. Remember The Hottie And The Nottie? Don't. And this list is painfully instructive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_notable_box_office_bombs But when it comes to total box office against number of screens (two thousand), advertising spent, and the sheer cost of the movie? Then you get the champion. $60,000,000 spent -- $674,000 back. From the studio that brought you Bloodrayne! Good luck with that DVD! BTW, that was twenty million for the movie and the rest went to marketing. The results appear to be underperforming. Wikipedia doesn't think much of it. Here's their plot summary, and I quote: "Three teletubby things set out to find a bunch of balloons for their pillow slave." Pillow slaves just love balloons. TVTropes may arguably think less, but with more detail. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure And naturally: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BoxOfficeBomb Please note that this film was inspired by audience reactions to Madea Goes To Jail. When you are taking your cue from Madea, you deserve every penny you're not getting. Also note that it underperformed Delgo. Applause is not mandatory, but appreciated. Reverend Jim would like the applause to slow down now. Slooow doowwnnnn... And if you really want the all-time modern low just in terms of tickets sold? Here you go. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/ZyzzyxRoad Thirty Twenty bucks.
There is nothing Tom Sizemore can't kill.

*poke* ... we've got room for one more person in our Politically Incorrect league for tomorrow night's draft if you're looking for some old-time butt-kicking. Check OT Sports.

Which begs the question of the adult-to-children ratio in those theaters. Probably 1:2 or worse, with the average age of the kids verging dangerously close to prenatal. (Imagine being a teenager stuck taking younger siblings to this. Life expectancy=duration of movie/number of kids in tow.) And all of the younger ones are being encouraged to 'interact' with the screen.There's a dark part of me that's considering whether it's worth going to see this, but: I don't want to pay for it. Someone would probably die. There's a chance that could be me.

As I've read it, the movie encourages audience participation. Wonder how that works with only three people at the screening.
