Can "The Hitcher" possibly cover it's advertising expenses?

From what I can tell it appears to be the only movie available in the theaters right now

:wow:

The worst part is that I think I have seen the whole movie from watching the commercials...but I think that there is a surprise ending that we all can see from a mile away.

1. First it was a movie, then a series on Showtime, now a remake?

For the last time, folks: If the hitchhiker looks, in any way, like Rutger Hauer/Sean Bean, DO NOT PICK HIM UP!

2. That's what I thought

By the way I hated that show on Showtime-I HEARD that it showed boobie one time and we adolescent males kept watching mostly for no reason what so ever. :grr:

3. Skin-e-max is the KING for that sort of thing (or so I hear)....

When I worked at MediaOne many years ago, people would call asking for The Playboy Channel. A few of our reps would say, "Just get Cinemax. It's cheaper and much better."

I loved it when the overhead monitors (36" Sonys!) were showing our West Coast feed early in the East Coast a.m. (nothing like Calipornia's 4:00 a.m. Sin-E-Max feed showing Emanuelle 13 during your morning coffee).

Red Shoes Diaries
Women Somethng Passion
Love Street

What else - something about a hotel

6. OMG. That is too funny.

Right after I had my 10yo, I was nursing her in bed really late at night and turned on the TV to watch. Well, in the process of 'switching sides', the remote fell to the floor and I ended up watching some Japanese porn on Cinemax at 4AM.

I couldn't change the channel, couldn't lower the sound, NADA, because this particular infant had a hard time nursing right out of the shoot and since she was content, there was no way I was going to disturb her.

It was bizarre.

11. Emanuelle 13?!?!?!?

too fucking funny, when I was a kid, i caught it at a hotel late one night and...well you can imagine the rest

:rofl:

5. I doubt it....

When are they going to get over this Remake Fever?

Songs... Movies... TeeVee shows. Ick!

Where's the NEW STUFF?!?!

7. reason number 145,901 to hate hollywood

STOP remaking classics for a quick buck....I like Bean, but Rutger Hauer is the ONLY "Hitcher" there will ever be

[Left Is Write]

8. I tend to agree.

I like Sean Bean too, but to remake the Hitcher? To try getting into the Rutger Hauer role? That's a tall order for anyone.

10. Julian Mcmahon

was up for this role but I was so glad he did not get this one. I'm not personally a fan of horror flicks myself and I knew those who are weren't going to appreciate a remake after reading comments on IMDB.

So glad Julian got Premonition with Sandra Bullock instead. Now that one I am looking forward to.
