Madonna's Swept Away Exits Theaters Today

Today is the last day you will be able to see Madonna in Swept Away at a theater. So run, don't walk, because in the future you will be relegated to watching it on your DVD player.

At midnight, Sony's Screen Gems division will pull the plug and remove one of the biggest turkeys in history from its remaining screens after two highly embarrassing weeks.

Not many theaters are involved, since Swept Away was only showing once a day in many locations since last Friday — and that was to empty houses.

The Guy Ritchie-directed disaster is the absolute worst in a series of movies starring Madonna that have ranged from mediocre to mortifying. The movie is more than likely a $40 million write-off for its producer, Matthew Vaughn, who also happens to the husband of supermodel Claudia Schiffer. Vaughn is also the purported son of actor Robert Vaughn.

(He was born, by the way, the same year Carole King's Tapestry album broke chart records, so what do you expect? I have sneakers older than that.)

Still, the bad reviews and lack of audience have not stopped Madonna from plotting her next movie. Reports are that she's writing her own autobiographical comedy. Oy vey! Madonna, please, please, please — cease and desist.

Did anyone see this? Was it really that bad? I thought the commercials looked somewhat promising. Oh well.

Better luck next time Madonna.

ok when you buy the dvd tell me if its worse than glitter? i mean thats hard to top ... loverboy come on and touch me..

It couldn't have been THAT bad, right?!

Ok... perhaps it could of!

Pity...

Madonna is NOT planning to do that "autobiographical comedy" anytime soon,according to her publicist.She's busy finishing up her next CD (which is due early 2003) and is writing a children's book.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and make a startling prediction...I think Madonna will launch another world tour sometime in the next few years! Last year,in an interview,she was asked if 'Drowned World' would be her final tour.She replied "Never say never".And in a more recent interview,she was asked the same question.She smiled and gave the writer that "just you watch" look.

There will also be the inevitable Madonna box set,filled with many rarities and surprises.

Well, if she does tour, she better come to Canada this time.
