It doesn't matter, it made the money and that is all they care about.

Hopefully they manage to pick up a couple of awards; being able to pitch a franchise that is a multi-billion dollar earner and has X awarded accolades can only be a good thing! :cool:

You realise this is the Razzie's yeah... these are the awards that nobody wants to win.

It's an easy target. I was reading some criticism of the awards that in the early years they were more honest and didn't just pick on critically panned films or bad films like Jack and Jill, but actually picked on bad performances no matter what the film or how big the name.

Sounds like the Academy Awards.

Yeah these awards are rubbish. If you made lots of money then expect lots of these "awards"

Martin Scorsese directed film about a young boy and a robot. I believe. Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR-kP-olcpM)

Cheers for the clarification Paulbot; looks mighty lame though, it's only saving graces are that the kid is the actor who played Damien in the '06 remake and Sacha Baron Cohen. :rolleyes::p

Never judge a film by its trailer.
The trailer is often made by people with no connection to the movie.
Unless you are Alfred Hitchcock or Stanley Kubrick.

Hugo (if you google it - wiki Hugo) it is a strange movie that still makes no sense to me... it's no wonder none of the trailers could give us any idea of what the movie was about, plotwise. (which is why it flopped - no one knew what the story was about, based on the randomness of the trailer, to want to go see it)

Seen Hugo a few times. I love it. In the end its a movie about what happened to the director of the old silent movie Trip to the moon. And an orphan kid who lives at the Train station. The trailers for it dont tell you what the movie is about at all.
