Underworld not getting good reviews? Hmm. I guess a simple, "Well, duh" sums up nicely.

Ya, I agree with Mark. The trailers look terrible.

I just posted that link in one of the lawsuit threads.
Here is the link for the IMDB page on the film, check out the writer and director credits, how did the assistant props guy from Independence Day and the "2nd Ape Soldier" from Planet of the Apes get to make their own movie?

I thought he did it by marrying Kate Beckinsale.

So now we have to ask "is the lawsuit a way to get more people to the movie?" They test and they would know what the general feeling for the movie was, by pushing the o-buzz-a-meter could they generate interest that could be turned into cash?

Does anybody ACTUALLY listen to the "internet buzz" about a film and take it at face value?

The percentage of movies that get negative buzz that I have liked is FAR more than the percentage of movies that have gotten positive buzz that I have liked.

Of course, that statement is skewed by the fact that almost no movies get positive buzz, due to the afraid-to-compliment atmosphere on the internet right now.

I don't know if buzz really works or not but I know the death of the singer and the buzz generated from that helped The Queen of the Damn with ticket sells, though that was more apples and oranges I don't put anything past Hollywood, still think Ben and Jen is pub stunt.
