frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Stuck in Love It's direct to video, and maybe Netflix only? It's the writer/director's Josh Boone's first movie. He's a friend of a friend of mine. He's also the director of the upcoming Fault in Our Stars. I heard a lot of good things about Stuck in Love--I thought it was just okay. There wasn't a big cinematic feeling, parts of the story were way overdone. He might be better with adapting someone else's material. Zero Dark Thirty I loved this movie, and still love it. It makes me feel better about my job--like I'm going to be Mya and go and work hard and keep focused and rain pain and terror on mine enemy. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Isn't Lohan like a year sober and working on a reality show now? She also probably gets paid for a weekend club appearance what the average poster here makes in a year, so I'm not expecting that sex tape any time soon. Not until she's too sober to party. Someone like Lindsay Lohan would make upwards of 20 million to do a porn. Lol, there is no chance that's true. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Lol, there is no chance that's true. That was what I heard the owner of vivid say in a radio interview, I have no idea if it is true or not Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 That was what I heard the owner of vivid say in a radio interview, I have no idea if it is true or not It can't be. To make the math easy, I'm going to give insanely generous numbers. Let's say vivid and Lohan agree to split all profits, and assume no overhead, production cost, promotion, etc. If they sold a scene for $20, in order for Lohan to make $20,000,000, they would have to sell more than twice as many copies as any porn ever, and do it in the dead ball era. I'm sure the owner of Vivid would love to make a million or two off a couple days' work and the death rattle of fallen celebrities' self esteem, and is just making up ridiculous numbers, assuming Lohan doesn't own a calculator.

king_tanner 84 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't think just selling DVD copies of it is the only way to make money. They wouldn't have porn on the internet if it didn't make money Link to post Share on other sites

They wouldn't have porn on the internet if it didn't make money I'm sure the big porn companies make money with downloads and streaming. Just not $40,000,000 per scene.

king_tanner 84 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The girl from teen mom sold her sex tape to vivid for 2 million. (According to Wikipedia) If she can get 2, how much do you think someone who is at the forefront of entertainment tabloids like Lohan could get? Link to post Share on other sites
David_Sklansky 1,903 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Way less than 20? 2? 5? I don't know anything about Teen Mom or why they gave her that much, but I don't think that has any effect on the limitations of the porn economy that prevent a sex scene from being worth that kind of money. You just aren't going to find two million people willing to pay $20 (which is probably way, way less than what would actually be needed) to see something that's easier to watch for free. My guess is that porn equity and fame are not a totally linear relationship. Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is that porn equity and fame are not a totally linear relationship. I'm not sure here, but don't the porn sites make money off the ad space they can sell? So if a shitload of people want to see a celebrity sex tape the site can demand more for ad space? I thought that was why the Kim K/Paris Hilton sex tapes were so lucrative. Not from DVD sales but from internet views. Again I could just be speculating here, I don't know exactly how the business works Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, yes there is. I told my co-workers I had ended my tough day with my Zero Dark Thirty screening--a plucky heroine raining pain and retribution down on her enemies--and it made sense to all of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

hank213 1,823 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 i dunno. in order to make 20 mil it would only require .2% of the U.S. population to fork over 20 bucks for the video. That's not even global population. Doesn't seem that far fetched to me. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Gravity - it was good. I wish I would have seen it in the theater in 3D. The ending was well done, and Bullock was probably better than Jolie would have been. Inside Llewyn Davis - it was good. I think the next Coen movie needs to have a solid ending. They are going to lose a large chuck of audience with every movie just stopping. Many people need some sort of closure. I thought it was important for No Country to end like it did, but not this one.
