dpoland gives a bit of an idea about it:
Posted by: IOIOIOI at July 29, 2009 10:57 PMLexG, you make a good point about Rob Cohen. People forget that he was John Badham's producing partner for many years - the fact that he has produced and/or directed films like Saturday Night Fever, Thank God It's Friday, and Fast & the Furious shows that he knows how to pull off the "time capsule" movie.
But Brian Szczerbinski says that's not all:
Hall of Fame voters need to find a middle ground between Bud Selig s complacency and Roger Goodell s iron fist. They need to look at an athlete s full body of work and when they were caught cheating or breaking the rules. While it s easy to say a player cheated once they must have cheated all the time, it s not that simple. Athletes shouldn t be persecuted without evidence, truth, and a conviction.
Rene Rodriguez does a quick recap:
Since his TV sitcom days on 3rd Rock From the Sun , Gordon-Levitt has appeared primarily in edgy, dramatic films ( The Lookout, Mysterious Skin ), but his lack of comedic experience is a boon, making Tom seem all that more honest and endearing as he clumsily feels his his way through the first serious relationship of his life. The luminous Deschanel, so often cast as the light that changes a man s life ( All the Real Girls, Yes Man ), allows us to understand and sympathize with Summer, even though the film never stops to explain her (this is Tom s story, not hers).

They basically advertised "this movie is terrible, but in a fun way... now give us your $10 per ticket plus refreshments and babysitter money!" "No thanks." said 95% of normal moviegoers who don't relish knowingly watching terrible films in theaters just to laugh at them. And of course, the thing ended up with 69% on Rotten Tomatoes. I'm sure Roger Ebert would have loved it. Had they just sold it as a campy, fun horror picture that simply delivers the goods in high style (and had they just screened the darn thing), they might have actually made $50 million on the picture.
Brian Szczerbinski says it all comes down to this:
Voters don t want to sully the Hall of Fame, but at the same time, great players who made a slip up or two deserve a place in Cooperstown as well.
In contrast, Desta Bishu replies:
‘Then I read the script and it was nothing to do with the military at all. ‘I’m a big supporter of the soldiers and the military and I don’t have a view on the war at all, I’m not a political person.

Having that in mind, dpoland wonders:

Meanwhile, newly married star Channing Tatum explained how his position as an opinionless patriot nearly prevented his involvement â€" until he read the script, and realized that what Sommers and Paramount were trying to do was create a military strike-force movie, without the military:
Melissa thinks about it:
Not even a bit of rain could dampen the excitement of the more than 20,000 people in the crowd as the Hall of Fame welcomed three latest additions to its prestigious roster: Jim Rice, Rickey Henderson and the late Joe Gordon.
Melissa is not really sure about that:
While Ed wandered through the numerous souvenir stores looking for something he couldn’t live with out for another second, we snickered at the ridiculous array of tchotchke available emblazoned (or bedazzled in some cases) with team logos. Every team was represented on t-shirts, mugs, key chains, hats and the like, but there was plenty of more outrageous merchandise as well. I mean, does anyone really need Chicago Cubs scented candles or a Red Sox stapler? Or, for cripes sake, a Mets garden gnome?
Still not being convinced, OldSchool replies:

It was 10 seconds in a 16-year career. More perspective: there was Alomar s remorse, which seemed genuine but of course we never know. And there was his contribution to the Krieger Institute, which seeks a cure for the rare genetic disease that took the life umpire John Hirschbeck s son. by OldSchool

Billie Joe has once said of casting: Maybe we ll have, you know, [ Rancid's ]Tim Armstrong come out as Whatsername [the central character of the final song] and we ll get the Madden brothers.

In other words, dpoland puts it this way:
What I don't get is how he eclipsed John Badham - I know, he's thought of as a joke nowadays, but the guy directed Saturday Night Fever and Wargames. Within that five year period, his mainstream entertainment output was almost in the same ballpark as Spielberg at that time (Jaws until Raiders) and that's really saying something.
As Desta Bishu says:
‘It’s complete lies. I have always had final cut of the film. People just make stuff up. You have to really screw up to get fired from a movie. The stigma of that would kill it. This is not the case.’
Meanwhile, geektyrant@gmail.com (GeekTyrant) came up with this idea:
Jesus’ Mom: She loves her cigarettes and her scratch-off lotto tickets, and she is sick of her son’s crap. She admits to being a loser, but tells Jesus that makes him the son of a loser, as well as a “f ing moron.†Mother of the year, she ain’t. Actresses who can convey a gritty realism, like Holly Hunter, Amy Ryan, Carrie-Anne Moss, should get a look.
