I Know Who Killed Me
Bratz
Hot Rod

Yeah.  There's a stunning trio.  I think I sold 3 tickets to IKWKM.

And while the movie may or may not be mediocre, it never stood a chance because of Lohan's poor public image.  No one wants to go see her.  And so it affects the career of the other creative types who worked on the film and get stigmatized peripherally.

Had there been Lohan boobies I bet it would have been a different story.

I haven't seen it, but some of my coworkers did.  Granted- these are mostly dorky kids, but they see every single movie that plays in our theater.  (we don't get art films, just the biggies)  They know what makes a good movie and what makes a lame one.

Only one person said it was a good movie, and IMO- she's an idiot anyway.  The rest said it was an implausible storyline and badly acted out.  Even the best director on the planet can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

No, but a good plastic surgeon can.

Well, I disagree.  A great director can make pretty much anything dramatic and interesting.  My point was that the film didn't fail because it was mediocre, it failed because of her.  She let down and did a disservice to every other person who put their time and efforts into that film.

And I do agree- she's lost her luster and should rethink her career choice, if for no other reason than it affects other people negatively.

I'm not saying she did a good thing, or anything like that, but it's not like they didn't know about her problems when they hired her.  You have to be careful who you hitch your wagon to.  Wasn't she nearly fired from her last movie?

The creative team doesn't necessarily have the control who is cast.  In this case, the studio chose Lohan.  So the best the crew could do was hope she'd act like a professional.

They should have used her English twin.  You never hear about her getting in trouble.

You are fantastic.
