Author Topic: Here come the Razzies! Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 02-10-2003 07:26 PM                     You can buy a Golden Globe nomination. You can buy an Oscar nomination. You can't buy a Razzie nomination -- you've got to earn it! This year's nominees are sure to please moviegoer young and old. But why would they have Adam Sandler for 2 movies when he was in 3 last year?  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-10-2003 07:40 PM                     So, Charles, is that why Miramax was only represented with one movie this year---because they couldnt BUY a razzie for their other? If you think about, with an award like the RAZZIES, you should be able to buy NOT being named in a slot. Guess Miramax didnt have any more than one stinker this year. Pretty good job, Miramax! BTW, Adam Sandler may have been in three movies, but PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE was a good one, underserving of mention here. BTW, tomorrow is the big day! We'll be able to see just how much Miramax spent to buy those nominations. Whew! I'm sure glad all the other studios are ethical enough not to spend a DIME on this yearly horserace!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Did that few people actually sit through that piece of crap to vote it as such?  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 02-10-2003 07:59 PM                     MASTER OF DISGUISE was SO bad it didn't even stick in their memories! Even I dont remember it!  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-10-2003 08:15 PM                    it must have been running close but just not enough. I think miramax will take all the prizes for it's piece of Pinnochio.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-10-2003 08:22 PM                        There's been an obvious oversight -- Sweet Home Alabama.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

BTW did anyone notice that new category "Most Flatulent Teen-Targeted Movie"? Scooby-Doo was not aimed at teens. Neither was Eight Crazy Nights.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-11-2003 06:55 PM                        I like all their variations on the SW:EPII title: STAR WARS: EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES STAR WARS/EPISODE II: YADA-YADA-YODA STAR WARS: EPISODE…WHO CARES?
