its not good if it goes straight to dvd - Bottoms Up (2006) Discussion

[–] wmboos 18 years ago

Just off the top of my head, what about The Notebook?

Anyway, this isn't a great movie, but to say that just because it goes straight to video means it's not good is like saying that just because it plays in theaters first, it is good.

I mean, come on. An 8.0 IMDB rating to go along with a SAG for James Garner?

The Notebook was in the theatre. You make no sense.

The Notebook made over $80 million BO and was in release for 150 days, so I don't understand how you could think it went straight to DVD.

The movie was in video stores before it was in theater. It got such good press that it was released in theater. I had watched it long before it was in theater. Does that make sense?

There have been a couple of good straight to DVD movies, but in general, yeah, straight to DVD movies blow.

No Direction Home was made as a PBS documentary and aired there before it was released on DVD.

Is this was direct to dvd why doesn't the title have a (V) after it?
Was it released theatrically outside the U.S.?

if I remember correctly Darron Aronofsky's Pi and Requiem for a Dream were straight to video...not all straight to vids are bad, just the majority. Bottom's Up just sucks cuz Paris Hilton is a douche and the crew just made a lame movie.

reply

[–] RequiredFields 18 years ago

Both movies had limited theatrical releases.

u dumb shi t requiem for a dream went to theaters but not to mainstream theaters, it was in one of those independent theaters

GENERALLY
a reason for it going straight to dvd is that it isnt the best film
but other reasons can include independent film labels, foreign films, and limited funding, there are exceptions

but often the statement that it's not necessarily critically good because it's gone straight to dvd...is true (in opinion)
