Thank you Ehs and jeezbee. Positive tweets about TAM very encouraging me ... but having already experience when the first tweets encouraging, and then film was bombing, I know that I am happy early ... Quietly waiting for the results... News about Neighbors, is also very inspiring.
I don't know jack about movies, but think positive. Where would civil rights be today of Martin Luther King had surrendered in the face of local and state governmental powers of oppression? King was fighting a war where he was the expected loser, but he believed in what he was doing.
A movie opening isn't civil rights, but it is a kind of struggle, a kind of battle, and your perception helps determine the results.
On a totally unrelated note: I know grey brings out his eyes, but his pale complexion needs color to brighten his face. Red is always a good hue on him, like beige and brown. I think he might be warm skin toned instead of cool.
Aptly described as "a chick flick for guys," I don't know where the audience is supposed to come from. Even the three co-stars were briefly baffled when asked to explain what this movie is about. All the clips show the three guys bantering amongst themselves. This may prove to be the talkiest movie of the year.
Oscar Wilde made a career out of dining room conversations, so if it is executed correctly and well-done, it can entertain.
If I were PR, I'd have two or three programs targeting different audiences. I'd have trailers that emphasized (bleh!) the love relationships, another that emphasized the bromance (targeting Frat Boys everywhere) and another where I would mention it as a romantic-comedy bromance that plays with gender stereotypes. That would get intellectuals interested.
Actually, this movie would make a great text for me to analyze using Queer Theory. Other than Paperboy (there's so much material in it to work with!) this movie is perhaps the only other movie Zac's done that questions gender by inverting/playing with traditional stereotypes.
Disappointed as I am with Zac's debauchery episode, let me just say that other recent celebrity news makes me (and, I imagine, his publicist) grateful that he didn't make news for public urination, vandalism, consorting with prostitutes, or DUI. He seems to have handled dissipation in a mature and responsible manner.
That's because Zac was raised correctly by good parents who taught him manners. Also, Zac seems to be acutely aware of the disparity between the ideal Zac Efron and the real Zac Efron. He doesn't believe his own hype, in other words. Occasionally he is arrogant, but I've also seen moments where he recognizes how he falls short of his own ideals and other's expectation of him, and he humbles himself and is humble.
The other celebrity believes his own hype, and that is why he acts like a privileged, spoiled little brat, as one of my Facebook friends posted.
