Re: No, It Was The Script...no one can take a joke

In Response To: Re: No, It Was The Script. (Matt)

: I was just offering my opinion in response to Brian's solicitation of same.

: I'm not taking anyone to task for enjoying Final Fantasy . Lots of people
: like stuff I don't, and that doesn't keep me from freely indulging my own
: tastes. Life goes on, it takes all kinds, etc.

: Ultimately a film moves you in some way or it doesn't. The questions of
: whether it moved you more or less than other films you like, or other
: films in that genre, don't really matter. I don't know that Final Fantasy
: is "better" or "worse" than Red Planet or for that
: matter Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood . I don't know if Citizen
: Kane is "better" or "worse" than Jaws or Meet the
: Feebles . But Kane , Jaws and Feebles are all in my DVD collection,
: and the others will never be. That's just me.

Exactly...that's the point I was trying to illustrate to Shishka about taste being subjective and individual while trying to site example with movies that one may like but were not successful i.e. Citizen Kane. (He missed the C error....ha, I love it!)

Anyhoo...the point I was trying to make was that both of these examples were liked by (some) groups of people, and yet were not "successful". Citizen Kane was a bomb when it was released and would not me appreciated fully until decades to come.

So my question was that are people worried that a HALO movie would not be liked, or that it not be successful i.e. make a lot of money? or both. So what is the REAL worry here. Financial success, or critical acclaim?
