I want go see it. A few friends I talked to, said it was done, right, a tastefull roll on Eastwoods part. He didn't try to over do himself... I have always like him, esp in the older western movies he has done...... This is good to here..

I thought it was just a Starsky and Hutch sequel. I might have to go see it now.

That's exactly what I've heard. From the sound of it, it looks like every other crappy movie that has come out within the past 6 months. There have been a few decent movies here and there, but everyone seems to just be trying to throw out their crap in theaters and make an extra buck or two. I definitely won't spend $20 to go see it in theaters. I"ll just watch it on watch movies like the other below average movies.

My roommate went and watched it today and said it was horrible. He also said several people walked out.

That's what I did.

Now, The Spirit may have been the worst movie ever made. But, that's for a different thread.

i am gona say this one last time.
as a owner of a video store, i will report pirate sites to the MPAA and the Studios.

i dont post any thing on here that will take any money out of the sponcers pockets.
it's their dollars that give us the site we like to be on.

now you may not rent from me, but i know for a fact out in your area is a store, red box, mail box for net flex, something in your area that is cheap enough to where you dont have to support some damn pirate web site to get your movies.

a long time ago i use to get a bunch of stuff from the studios for free to promote their movies in my store to increase business, hats, T shirts, Posters, collectors stuff, movie tickets to give away.
in fact i can tell you the very last promotion i did, when the matrix came out on video and dvd i had 100 tickets to give away for the matrix reloaded.
now i dont get squat because it is an expence they cannot aford any more.
