I Am The Walrus
Probably as a straight-to-DVD release.

Aaaaaand the advertising is too lazy to even update its ads, saying "opening 4/15."
Seven days later.
Fanfiction I hate.

And the film has officially died out. Friday's PTA was $660, down 71% from last Friday.

The second and third movies are officially dead. The Tea Partiers can now be quiet.

I actually liked the latter, though I privately suspect that the reason that I do is that the film I've seen must have been made in a parallel universe from the one everyone else has seen, since nearly every complaint I've heard about it simply was not present in the cut I've watched. It appears to be some Odd Quantum Thingy.

Had the Catholic groups actually seen The Golden Compass and realized that there were no anti-religion messages in the film (they were cut during rewrites), the other two films would have been made.

I see the Awesomeness.
And capitalism triumphs once again.
Fight smart, not fair.
The film version of The Golden Compass was just... kinda dull.
Fanfiction I hate.

There is some irony to a movie about the success of corporations flopping.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.
I think it's less about the box office draws (film actually did okay for a low-budget limited release). It's the fact that it was critically panned that's making him reconsider.

Yeah, but given the plummet in gross the second week, even "fairly good for a small release" wasn't going to come near making back the budget. I'm pretty sure that had something to do with it.

"Why should I put up all of that money if the critics are coming in like lemmings?" Aglialoro said. "I’ll make my money back and I'll make a profit, but do I wanna go and do two? Maybe I just wanna see my grandkids and go on strike."
What a whiner. Though it is on par with Galt's clone army.
Though on a more constructive note, it sounds like he would have had more success if he made the movie an Adaptation Distillation instead of Pandering to the Base.

"Going on strike." Is that what they're calling it now?

It's related to the "Going Galt" forced meme. Yep, the rugged individualist opposing organized labour by organizing a strike
.
If anything, Ayn Rand sure does know who her audience is.

I understand the reference, and know that by using that metaphor, the guy was showing his Objectivist credentials.
I mean to imply that this was a Lame Excuse and he should have just said "I made a bad move, screw this, I'm out of here."

But by then, it would have been too hard to stop.

electrifying
That's actually funny they tried to make the Narnia films less overtly Christian and The Golden Compass less anti Christian

Humour, where would we be without it? In Germany, probably
I'm just surprised to hear that it came out. I thought it was coming out in the future.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

And now the producer is saying the sequels will happen anyway, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Make up your mind!

What a dick. Sure, No Such Thing as Bad Publicity, but if nobody cares now, his shit-stirring isn't going to make them care more.
There are snakes in the grass, so we'd better go hunting!

You know, this movie might have actually been successful if they had more budget than my local trading card store.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.
Is it likely to make enough money to make the second part of the trilogy?
