Why was the movie The Cable Guy made?

[Shell Beau]

It has to be one of the most awful movies ever, and I like Jim Carrey.

1. Why is any movie made?

Because a studio thought it would make money. It could have been worse...Jennifer Aniston could have been in it.

[Shell Beau]

3. Yeah, that would have really made it bomb at the box office!

:P

[redqueen]

2. I liked it.

:blush:


I like a lot of bad movies though. :P

[Shell Beau]

4. I like some bad movies myself. But I can't hardly sit through it which

means my husband has it on the TV right now!!:P

7. Good thing you have the puter for entertainment. :)

My receiver is possessed tonight. It keeps rebooting itself... of course this happens when I'm trying to record a Christmas special for the kids. It's some new one with the Freeze Meister and the Heat Meister... and I kinda wanted to see it too. :D

6. "I think he was Asiaaaaan"

:rofl:

[redqueen]

8. See? That's good stuff!

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

9. I freaking love that movie...

My brother and I say the above quote to each other at least once a week. :rofl:

[redqueen]

11. Didn't Janeane Garofalo play the waitress?

Dude, I got a lot of tables. :rofl:

5. the movie had an identity crisis between 'dark' and 'slapstick comedy'

on paper, the source material is good enough....

[harmonicon]

10. so that people would pay to go see it....

so that those who put money into it's production could get even more money. That's why most movies are made.

[Shell Beau]

13. Well I know that. But MOST movies don't need to be made.

[harmonicon]

14. yeah, I know

that's why most movies are unwatchable crap.

[Shell Beau]

15. Very true! I guess that is why we appreciate a really good movie!

It is a rare occurence!

12. To put Carrey and Broderick in a film involving violence and hookers.

[cemaphonic]

16. I wouldn't say I liked it exactly

but I liked it better than most Carrey vehicles.

[Shell Beau]

17. My faves of his are Eternal Sunshine; Me, Myself, and Irene, and

Man in the Moon.

[pokerfan]

18. Porno Password

saved it from being truly awful.

[rcrush]

19. star trek fight scene.

Made it awesome.

[Drunken Irishman]

20. This has to be one of the most divisive movies ever made.

You either really hated it (like me) or really liked it (like my douche friend).

[Deep13]

21. Instead of being creative, studios try to find something for so-and-so.

That also explains television.
