    @belltolls: For π, I assume? Since Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain and The Wrestler were all crimes in the first degree against cinema. But π.. yes. Very interesting indie.

    @snugbug: Pi and Requiem (and I actually liked the Fountain but I understand it sucks) but if Aronofsky has crimes what in Holy Hell is it that M Night does?

    @belltolls: I can't really muster much hate against M. Night Shama-Lama-Ding-Dong because he excreted two thriller classics, The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. He's been coasting along and flogging his one-trick pony narrative device to death since, but I still think he's got something ELSE to say.

    John Lee Hancock has always had cash rolling in as an in-demand screenwriter (particularly on rewrites). Kind of a nice gig to fall back on.

    I should add, not directing The Alamo is quite possibly the smartest thing Ron Howard ever did.

    On "The Grosses Speak Law," doesn't this have its tentacles in "The Big Cool Friend Exemption?" Not in terms so much of getting household names committed to your next project, but having industry names follow through on the marketing of your film that can make or break gross receipts? There are numerous examples of good films not getting the studio backing they needed to launch and can only aspire to be a Donnie Darko-esque film instead.

    Interesting piece I will reread..

    Thought this was about writer/Tarantino collaborator Avary, Tweeting from jail.
    For DUI manslaughter. It's actually pretty compelling reading. Sheets that although laundered, have "the ball-sweat of a thousand men" on them. Uh, vivid! Also, all inmates forced to watch Fox.

    (How he Tweets: Avary uses his phone time each day to speak to a service that does the Tweets for him. Capitalism is amazing.)

    Tucker, just be a man and admit that the movie was a failure b/c it sucked. Stop trying to make yourself into artiste who made a great work of art that it was bound to be misunderstood by the masses.

    I hate to break it to you Tucker, but outside of a few Frat boys, nobody in Middle America knows who the hell you are.

    @TheUptightMidwesterner: I thought he was a joke that Gawker had created, and that the movie trailer was something they slapped together to make it more real. Slapped together VERY quickly.

    I do understand what he means about Fox Searchlight watering down the movie for mass appeal. However, if by bringing in a "bird" he's using Swingin' Sixties slang to say they'd have a female screenwriter rework the script, that's highly unlikely in the boys' club that is Hollywood. It ain't the chicks harshing on your mellow, Tucker, it's your bros. You can't blame a bird for everything.

    I repeat my statement- add a scene in which Tucker is repeatedly sodomized by a subway turnstile and I can get that film to $50 million with my eyes closed.

    Carbondale (Il) has a large university and they list Jenny McCarthy and Jim Belushi among their most famous alumni. If there ever was a market for Max's movie, you'd think it'd be there.

    Maybe try not calling your movie something that most theaters won't put on the marquee.

    I mean, once you get past the "Tucker Max Presents" problem.

    Why is The Box set in the 70s? It seems like such an arbitrary time period. And like Richard said, the trailer starts of interestingly enough, but then fumbles down a path of hokiness.
