Comments on: 'Horton' Stampede To Best 2008 Opening; 'Don't Back Down' OK, But 'Doomed-sday' http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/families-flock-to-horton-its-doomedsday/ Fri, 29 Aug 2008 05:51:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Ella http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/families-flock-to-horton-its-doomedsday/#comment-42862 Ella Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:09:02 +0000 http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/families-flock-to-horton-its-doomedsday/#comment-42862 "The nature of these genre movies is why you don't spend a lot to make them and why you don't spend a lot to market them. You're looking to have a couple of them break out each year, but you never know which ones they're going to be." Usually, the good ones. But it must send panic among the brass if no one actually knows what a good one looks like. I've followed Neil Marshall's career from day one, and whatever he was going for in creating Doomsday, I don't know. Maybe it was a farewell to a conglom of genres (post-apocalyptic/zombie/based-on-videogame), and his way of saying he's ready to move on to the next thing. Who knows. All I know is, most genre directors working today wish their best works could look as good as a Neil Marshall poor one. Cause if he had split that movie into er.. four, he'd have had three decent genre flicks, and one damned good one. “The nature of these genre movies is why you don’t spend a lot to make them and why you don’t spend a lot to market them.

Just because I play video games does not mean I am not smart enough to recognize what is complete crap. Thank you for sticking me in a box with the retards that this is truly aimed at, the goth/punk/emo crowd. “Looks like those video game couch potatoes didn’t bother to show up in theaters.”
