And for the project least likely to get my buck, I present...

Some times there are projects that just make me want to puke. Let's see if you can figure this out.
We've seen this story... A bunch. In
search of yet another amorous trophy, a rich restaurant owner
and mysogynist, seduces a young beauty with a
fondness for poetry, to denote her estrogen levels no doubt. Willis realizes that he is truly in love with Charlotte,
he is shocked to find out that she has a tumor in her heart
giving her no more than a year to live, and luckily a guaranteed tear jerker of an ending I bet. Both knowing their
relationship will end soon, they spend several romantic
months together, but she succumbs to her disease despite
attempts to save her with an operation. He finally has
experienced true love and a dagger in his chest, he ends up a human being after all... just cause he found her.
Now, that I'm sure you are just DYING YOUNG to see this movie, let me tell you the cast. Richard Gere and Winona Ryder. ACK! Puke puke puke. And in addition they're spending somewhere over $50 million for this bucket of slop. Why so much? I mean, the average Richard Gere movie pulls in roughly $35.3 million or so. And the last time this story was told, it pulled in... Right at about that much. However, the real pain for me is that I'm gonna have to see trailers for this film all next summer. I mean, they'll be EVERYWHERE and on everything. We'll be treated to some new Bryan Adams-y type of song and ugh.
Oh well... I guess the MINORITY REPORT trailers will get me through it.
