Am I the only one who came here because of s**t Carney said about Keira?
shareWhy did you not go to the " Begin Again" Boards then? Why come here and Bitc# , especially if you have not seen SS yet?
shareCoz he said all those things promoting SS not BA. And I'm not bitc*ing, just pointing out that it was good idea to promote his film this way. Any publicity is good publicity.

It is truly a shame, not to mention a waste, that such a special film like this will go unnoticed by the masses. I guess the old expression is true that mediocrity appears to the masses....
I read an earlier post that mentioned, in an attempt to facilitate word of mouth marketing, free tickets were available early on. Apparently there was next to nothing in the advertising/marketing budget. I don't remember seeing anything on television but only in the Coming Attractions in the theater. I don't normally care about box office results, however I was rooting for this film and it did appear to have "legs". It just wasn't visible enough.
In addition, upon reflection, I was wondering the composition of the ideal target audience. I can't envision it was ever too wide. Although it's youthful I don't see the typical youth would be motivated to see this quirky, non cookie cutter film/story.
We'll see how it does on PPV and Cable. I think it will flourish. let's hope!
I've got to say that I've never found Knightley convincing as an actress. She has certain facial idiosyncrasies that I find always surface in every performance. Carney seems to prefer naturalness and maybe that's why he didn't care for what she did. To me she has a tendency to be somewhat mannered in her acting style.
I think Sing Street is a wonderful film. I'd recommend seeing it if you haven't.

There was no reason for Carney to apologize, but that's the stuck up, and status hungry fake world of Hollywood... he stated some honest thoughts of working with Keira, and everyone had a tantrum, cos he didn't step in line basically. So now he's a villian... it's utterly stupid. The fact is she he felt she had so many people around her at all times, that getting work done was difficult. They make it sound like he called her absolute sh*t... such idiots... the whole industry lacks honesty and he just had the backbone to speak the truth.
