That which can suck most certainly will. And Meet Dave did.While there'll be little for them to tally officially, later today opening weekend figures will come out and put the Eddie Murphy opus of crap with under a $6 million take, and less than half the total of my dark shit horse The Love Guru.
My dear Scarlett, you owe me ten bucks!
Even in the thrill of victory, the sour rhetoric of the studio bootlickers has tarnished my prognostication.
"It was a tough concept to get across," 20th Century Fox distribution executive and bold liar Bert Livingston said of Meet Dave, which cost about $55 million to make - roughly 1000% more than it grossed. "It's upsetting for all of us and for Eddie. He's very funny in this. Just not enough people came." Yeah, it's upsetting that you thought it was going to be a movie people wanted to see, and that you thought it was even remotely funny. And as far as the concept, are you fucking kidding? The movie features Murphy in dual roles as a tiny alien and his spaceship — which is designed to resemble a full-sized human for a visit to Earth. There's your concept. How hard was that to get across? Is this movie for people or the severely retarded? Probably neother, becuase even they would find it unfunny and stupid.
