Dec 15 2005Poseidon Trailer
I'm going to tell you right now why Poseidon is going to suck monkey balls and make zero money at the box office: because nobody cares about it and nobody wants to see it. I'm sure the idea of remaking The Poseidon Adventure with a big budget and lots of special effects sounded like a good idea in the exec meeting, but honestly nobody cares about these kinds of movies anymore. They already gave us an amusingly bad made-for-TV remake on NBC and unless this one is able to physically spit money at us as we watch I don't see it being much better. Ooh a big wave. Ooh, stuff falling over. Ooh, semi-famous people climbing around an upside down ship. Maybe Hollywood should just give up and let Charlie Kaufman write all of their scripts.

My Lord. I happened to watch this inadvertently and was wondering why anyone would remake this. Then, about a week later, I read a review on how great this new movies CG effects were. Astounding CG effects my foot.. Jurassic Park was better then that. And it's old.

I remember watching Poseidon the first time, when it was called Titanic. And the time before that, when it was called Poseidon.
