Resolved: AMC’s acronym is now as misleading and inaccurate as MTV’s. Discuss.
No, the target audience for Catwoman was, like nearly all movies these days, adolescent boys. Think about it - Halle Berry and Sharon Stone in tight leather catsuits fighting it out on screen. (Hubba, and I say again, Hubba!) As a red blooded 'merican male I would sooooo have seen that in the theaters. But it was only in the theaters for about 20 minutes. I have never seen Catwoman, and the small pieces I’ve seen on cable are enough for me to realize how bad this movie is. If teenage boys won’t pay to see a Halle Berry action flick, Catwoman must make Showgirls look like Citizen Kane.
Back to the OP, AMC has really gone downhill. They show relatively few classics. But they still show good movies sometimes. Last night they showed Midway, which is not a bad movie. Not in the top 50, but good enough that it transcends the Sensurround gimick.
I should be pissed that my high cable bill doesn’t pay for better commercial-free movies, but it is basic cable. We’re lucky that AMC doesn’t show Porky’s 24x365.
No, no. It’s much worse. No matter what MTV finally devolves into filling their time with, it is at least still on TV.
Come on now. Porky’s is a good movie, much better for its type than it had to be.
Yeah, and besides, in on FMC like twice a month. In widescreen, no less!
Even if they did, they’d edit out the good stuff anyway.
Is there a teenage boy on the planet that would watch a movie because of Sharon Stone? Maybe Halle Berry, but not Stone.
