Gonna check out the movie anyway for Lee Daniels if nothing else. Even his misses are interesting so far.

I really like Twister

I never got to see the whole movie glitter but the album
was very good despite the critics who linked the bad movie
to the album. The glitter album is certainly better than
her last two releases imo.

Glitter was nothing more than HONEY with a better soundtrack. It was a very similar premise, the acting sucked, the star was hot (jessica alba) but you always felt, why isnt this movie sexy?? i mean when you have Mariah or Jessica Alba as your lead, how the fuck do you not make it sexy?

Lead the Way is my all time favourite Mariah song

The movie is cheesy as hell but it's very cool if you're a fan

If that is true....can the Org get a screening?

Say what you will about Madonna but did she ever make anything so notorious and big that it had people celebrating it's awfulness (and rapid fans defending it on it's music!). She's made a lot of bad movies but they almost get universally little to no attention anyway....and "Who's That Girl" was cute.

That being said, the article rasies a valid point (several times and yet it is only three short paragraphs). Why is the movie being pushed back? It happens for various reasons other than the movie being awful but it's basically a gossip and not an entertainment article. Skimpy on details (what were the prior release dates, who owns movie, what songs from the new album have been tanking, etc.) but heavy on cattiness. I'm not a Mariah fan, but seriously, why can't anyone do good entertainment stories anymore? It's all about the drama and bullshit.

Actually you probably have forgotten the movie Swept Away. That was hyped as Guy Ritchie's ode to his wife, and it was a disaster. In reality though, Madonna has been in a ton of movies. Most of her appearances were of a cameo or supporting role variety, but with the exception of Evita, most of the movies she has starred in have been really awful. But most of them were not actually her fault; it was usually a poorly written script, dumb storyline, or mismatched co-stars that tanked her films.

As for Mariah's latest movie, most of the mainstream entertainment media have forgotten that this is an indie film, and part of the reasons for indie films getting their release date pushed back is because they have trouble locating a decent distributor. Slumdog Millionaire had the same issue, and it took a long time after its debut at the Sundance Film Festival to find a distributor who would even book limited screenings. Fortunately, the critics loved the movie, and it slowly but surely built a lot of buzz on its way to winning an Oscar for Best Picture.

I was gonna mention Swept Away

glitter wasnt that bad. people like darryl or wateva the fuck his name is like to bitch about anything these days. who seriously visits a shitty site like examiner? you cannot keep a good woman down.

I didn't think that 'Glitter' (the movie) was that bad

SoulAlive said:

Even Mariah Carey's fine behind could not save that whack flick. I got cold feet on seein this new one but hey, ill take the plunge anyway. For better or for worse WORD

SoulAlive said:

It wasn't. I actually enjoyed it to an extent

I honestly believe Tommy Mottola had something to do with it's failure

I remember at that time, there were rumors he stole some of her songs and gave them to Jennifer Lopez

remember how he and Sony were hyping up his wife Thalia, saying she was going to be huge? She released 1 song and that was that

The only real problem with 'Glitter' is the DJ guy who played her boyfriend.There was ZERO chemistry between these two She needed a better co-star.

SoulAlive said:

terrence?

SoulAlive said:

there were some big flaws, but it's not the diaster the media makes it out to be


I mean.....we've seen worse

She made another one !!!!!
WTF

She's got two new films out this year
"Tennessie" and "Prescious" (formally called Push)
I don't know much about Tennessie, but she play's a domestic abuse victim who persues her dream to be a singer (sound familier). It has th brilliant "Right to dream" http://www.youtube.com/wa...NrxL6dlWCM
in it.

As for 'Precious' It's apparently really good. It won both the critics and public choice award at the sundance fim fstival earlier this year. Mariah is a social worker in that one.

SoulAlive said:

I agree

And his "accent" was annoying as fuck

bboy87 said:

Yup, and also the fact that the movie and album were released around 9/11.

I really wish Mariah would release Lillie's Blues

Alej said:

plus,he was unconvincing as a DJ

SoulAlive said:

That too

This is the film that Janet dropped out of, so with Mariah starring it, it will be just as bad....

SoulAlive said:

you are very sweet and generous.
