or





If you aren't already aware of it, these two movies will in theaters this month with plenty of curiosity about them and their subjects. I have a few questions to ask, feel free to answer anytime.


1. Which one are you going to see?
2. Which one will be more successful at the box-office?
3. Which one will receive better reviews just based on the performances of the main actors, Jaquin Phoenix or 50 Cent?
4. Which one will last longer in release?
5. Which one will get award consideration?
6. Which one will you buy on DVD?
7. Which one will you care about more in a year, 5 years, 10 years, etc.... ?

i'll see the johnny cash movie, though i don't have a lot of hope for joaquin phoenix as JC...i'm still bitter because i think john cusack would have been a PERFECT man in black, but i'm a fan and i'll see it regardless.

as for 50 cent, i'll have to miss that one. maybe i'll watch it on DVD if i hear enough good buzz about it. i broke down and watched 8 mile, after all. how many times do i need to see 'purple rain' with a different pop star in the lead role?

I hate 50 cent so much that I won't even watch it once it airs on t.v And honestly how hard is it to play yourself in a movie I think Joaquin looks pretty convincing as Johnny Cash.....I'm not sure about his acting though since I haven't really seen too many movies with him in it.

I think Get Rich....just because of the 50 cent hype still going on right now.

Cash


Cent



Cash



Cash... it'll be a buildup to wide release. Cent will be around for about 6 weeks. Strong initial box off, but it'll disappear quickly.



Cash



neither




probably neither.


but it will be interesting to read the reviews comparing the story of a real-life bad ass with one about a little kid trying to be a bad ass by waving a gun around.

I HOPE the Cash movie will do better, but considering how inexplicably popular Fiddy is maybe his movie will pull in the big bucks. I'm going to see WTL, but not Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

I see Walk the Line getting more critical success, regardless.

1. Which one are you going to see?

Walk The Line

2. Which one will be more successful at the box-office?

Walk The Line

3. Which one will receive better reviews just based on the performances of the main actors, Jaquin Phoenix or 50 Cent?

Joaquin.

4. Which one will last longer in release?

Walk The Line (can play through December and well into the new year - it's well positioned).

5. Which one will get award consideration?

Walk The Line

6. Which one will you buy on DVD?

Probably neither. Hard to tell when you haven't seen the damn films, isn't it?

7. Which one will you care about more in a year, 5 years, 10 years, etc....

Neither. I don't really care about 'em now.

I can't wait to see the Cash movie and 50 Cent can kick rocks for all I care, altough I think his movie will do well.

1. Which one are you going to see? Walk the Line
2. Which one will be more successful at the box-office? Walk the Line
3. Which one will receive better reviews just based on the performances of the main actors, Jaquin Phoenix or 50 Cent? Joaquin
4. Which one will last longer in release? Walk the Line
5. Which one will get award consideration? Joaquin
6. Which one will you buy on DVD? Neither
7. Which one will you care about more in a year, 5 years, 10 years, etc.... not Get Rich or Die Tryin'

Question: Is that the new Get Rich or Die Tryin' poster? Is he trying to appeal to audiences by holding a baby when the real 50 said he doesn't have time to take care of his own son?

I'm sure there are tons of wanksters out there that will make sure 50's movie does better and makes load of money.

Walk to Line will be a much better movie and it also portrays a musical genius. Johnny was great. 50 will just always be a thug asshole!

I'd rather chop off both of my arms than go see Fiddy's new movie.

I wouldn't even watch it if Jimmy Page personally invited me to a screening.

1. Which one are you going to see? I want to see Walk The Line, but might end up watching it on DVD. (I Joaquin.)

2. Which one will be more successful at the box-office? Walk the Line--think of all those red staters that love country music, and Johnny Cash has more crossover appeal. (e.g. I detest country music, but JC is a legend!)

3. Which one will receive better reviews just based on the performances of the main actors, Jaquin Phoenix or 50 Cent? Joaquin & Reese!

4. Which one will last longer in release? Walk the Line

5. Which one will get award consideration? Walk the Line

6. Which one will you buy on DVD? Neither.

7. Which one will you care about more in a year, 5 years, 10 years, etc.... Neither.

maybe if 50 cent was more of a man than a wanna be bitch-ass, I would have probably gone to see it...but that's a negative, he'll never get rich off of me....

I love Joaquin Phoenix, I think he's one of the best actors of this generation, I would like to see "Walk the Line" just because of him alone, and I don't even listen to country music!! (But i did love "The Coal Miner's Daughter" and "Urban Cowboy" )

Well 50 Cent's lil movie seems interesting, Im gonna break down and see it cuz EVERYONE is gonna be tawkin about it and I probably aint gonna be doin shit that night anyway. Hey they are going to show his big ol' feet that's worth my money alone enough.

minneapolisgenius said:

c'mon....even I could put up with 50 for a couple of hours for that opportunity.

paisleypark4 said:

that alone oughta be a reason not to go see it

89Flowers said:

Definitely Walk the Line. I dig Joaquin/Reese & I don't know shit about Johnny Cash so it should be interesting. I'm no fan of 50 BUT the people he got to work on this thing have me curious unfortunately (more thug shit, whaddayaknow), I may break down & hit a matinee once I hear opinions on it



Toss up - could be Walk based on wide mass appeal & critical acclaim, but folks do love some thug shit & 50 sells many records...



Walk the Line, I'd be amazed if 50 can pull some talent out dat ass...



Toss up... probably Walk...



Walk...



Neither, quit playin'



neither, probably (unless 50 shocks the hell out of everybody & the movie is actually good)

I'll see 50's, I saw Fade To Black ...Loved it.... I think 50 is Hot!

AnckSuNamun said:

A man with big feet is ma kinda dude!

Anxiety said:

Agreed.



I can't imagine EVER sitting down to watch this shit, however.

paisleypark4 said:

but you can watch Shaq on t.v for free

CASH all the way!!

paisleypark4 said:

You know what 'they' say about guys with big feet...








































...big shoes.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I actually think Walk the Line will do better business. 50 might have a great week, but it's going to fall soon after. The demographic most interested in seeing 50 can't get in to an R rated movie. A lot of theatres have really put the crack down on that under 18 policy.

50 cent sucks ass

Dewrede said:

agreed..

I just heard a review that called 50's movie "an instant classic, like Scarface"
