: I know this weekend is Rat Race, but I am watching the sneak peek and next week I am watching JASBSB again. But I hope sales aren't taken away from the lame ass looking 'Bubble Boy' movie. Sure, I laughed a little at first when I saw the Bubble Boy get hit by a bus, but this movie is will not even compare to JASBSB. It's oddly coincidental that the Bubble Boy plot line is about him having to trek across America, similar to Jay and Silent Bob. I think I'll draw a comic strip where the Bubble Boy run into Jay and Silent Bob and they beat the shit out of the boy through his bubble.
The ONE main reason that Bubble Boy could pull in more money is this. Its rated pg-13. Ratings-wise, it reaches a much much larger audience. Granted, i was seeing r-rated movies when i was 12. Also, J&SBSB isnt really aimed towards that age group......neither was the original AP.
The only reason Bubble Boy could possibly pull in more money is because it is accessible to more people.
Also, The Others is getting great word of mouth. i havent seen it, nor do i plan on it...but people are talking.
