The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
And following on from the biggest winner, what do you think will be the biggest loser? A good few to choose from.

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
Gatsby.

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
A fair number of those will be losers, but it's hard to know which will be the "biggest" loser without knowing what their respective budgets are.

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
Is the criteria for "biggest loser" simply lowest gross? Because lower budget films are at a disadvantage then; a low-budget film on the list could have the lowest gross, but still be considered a success, while a higher budget film may have a high gross, but not one that's big enough to recoup its budget.

I have the feeling LONE RANGER is gonna squat out the biggest turd.

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
^I've always loved the Lone Ranger -- my Dad raised me on the old radio shows, I even saw that crappy '81 movie in theaters back when I was 10 -- but this looks too... revisiony for my tastes. I'll still probably end up seeing it. I'm a sucker anything Lone Ranger and Zorro. But yeah, I don't think it will connect with audiences, and given that the film's budget has ballooned again ($250m at last count?), we're looking at Dresden.

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
How far back did they push Gatsby?
|
Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
I say The Gangster Squad
The Lone Ranger could be a big bomb also...too many people just won't accept anyone but Klinton Spilsbury in the role. |
Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
Mad Max 4
|
Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
I'm going to say that Grown Ups 2 will fail.

Spilsbury was the Jeff Kober of his era. |

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
I was going to say Riddick, but it looks like it only has a $38M budget. The Hansel & Gretel budget is $60M, so I'm going with that one instead. The trailer is just awful.

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
Robocop.
|
Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
Robocop sounds like a mediocre idea gone bad.
|
Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
The Lone Ranger will be thankful for all eternity to get half its budget back. I see it being a huge flop financially.

And it's the only film on that list I will actually pay to see. Not that I disagree with you. I just have to see every western released.

Have to? Wtf? You got some kind of vice on your dick that will obliterate it to that place in the sky or underground if you don't watch every western released?

I'm a big western fan and they just don't make enough of them anymore. Although, to be honest, I've actually missed some in recent years. There was one with Guy Pearce shot in Australia that I skipped and that indie wagon train movie with Michelle Williams that I avoided. But I would prefer to see every western that comes out.

No wonder I forgot the title. No self-respecting western has a title like "The Proposition." It sounds more like a romantic comedy. Can you imagine John Wayne or Randolph Scott or Roy Rogers appearing in something called "The Proposition"?
And in case you don't believe either of those to be a "self-respecting western," She Wore a Yellow Ribbon is a classic Ford-Wayne Western and yeah...not exactly The Shootist in terms of masculine titles. |

Because Rainbow Valley and The Gay Ranchero are manly man titles and one should only seek out the most manly titled Westerns.

Re: The Biggest Loser for 2013 will be...
The Proposition sounds lifeless. At least The Gay Ranchero is something that upon hearing the title, I want to see it now.
