Passengers : spaiht's script is awful. why did sony/pratt/lawrence think it was good?

spaiht's script is awful. why did sony/pratt/lawrence think it was good?

why did so many in hollywood think this was such an awesome script for over ten years?

the script really, really sucks.

it is a on-trick pony, a copycat, soulless, lifeless, and silly.

oh, and it is morally bankrupt and distasteful to audiences.

why did they make it? what is up with hollywood?

oh, and it is morally bankrupt and distasteful to audiences.

Jesus. Morally bankrupt? Distasteful to everyone? He know what everyone in the audience thought and felt?? If Jim was a woman doing this, it wouldn't be nearly as morally distasteful to you. It's time people like you start accepting men as human beings, not just human doings.

Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.

yes, lying to someone to get them into bed is morally bankrupt to many folks, but not to sony.

are you working for sony?

there are 2-3 sony shills on this board, if not more.

are you on their payroll perchance?

It sounds like the kind of fictional script Vince would be offered on Entourage.

lol yes! how did this ever get greenlit?

$$$$$$$$$$ that's why I bet half the budget is pratt and JLaw's salary

yeah. the awful script could not be saved by the talent.

the answer to your question to quite William Goldman's famous line: nobody knows anything

* Lawrence's The Hunger Games was (early on) expected to open to around 50M and Guardians of the Galaxy was expected to be Marvel's first fail
* Titanic was expected to be an enormous bomb
* Star Wars - when the cream of the crop of young directors of the 70s watched an early edit they were embarrassed for Lucas and expected it to be a career ending bomb
* Noone expected Blair Witch to break out like it did
* Premiere Magazine had the Julia Roberts vehicle Dying Young pegged as the biggest movie of 1991. It came in 41st
* Spielberg was almost fired on Jaws because it was an out-of-control movie set. A few years later everyone thought Peter Pan and Spielberg was the perfect match so Hook was believed to be a sure-thing monster hit
* In the late 1930s Katharine Hepburn was infamously named "Box Office Poison" by exhibitors. Then The Philadelphia Story and Woman of the Year came out
* In the heyday of the modern Movie Star Era of the late 80s/early 90s ALL of the big stars had huge box office fails. Willis, Julia, Cruise, Ahnuld, Sly, Gibson etc. All of em.

etc etc etc etc etc

Nobody knows anything!

Well, Pratt and Lawrence wanted to do love scenes together.
