Who Killed Nancy
Deadline Hollywood Daily's Nikki Finke reported exit polling earlier today about W., and the bottom line is that "27% felt the movie was better than expected, 38% felt it was not as good as expected (this was consistent across all groups, especially liberals), and 35% felt it was as good as expected." Basically a 62-38 split favoring positive.

"As good as expected" isn't considered a positive comment, necessarily. It's the neutral response. What's more telling is that "not as good as" easily surpassed "better than" expected.

Good showing for "W." no matter what the anti-Stone forces say. The End!

If Oliver Stone's name wasn't on the credits you never would have know it was his film. It was a very fair depiction and a real good movie! Josh Brolin has hit the A-list bigtime!

Wait a second, if Stone's name wasn't on "Salvador" or "The Hand" or even "Platoon" would you know he directed them? I think people are going to have to GET OVER the style he used on "The Doors" thru "U-Turn" as he is no longer interested in that type of filmmaking.

I can't believe Max Payne disappointed that badly. It didn't even break the $20 million mark! Yeah, it's cheap and should make its money back on home video, but it should be doing a lot better than that. Did that SNL thing hurt Wahlberg?

I don't think Wahlberg appearing on SNL hurt the opening weekend. Perhaps Fox's marketing--which didn't even sell MAX PAYNE as a Wahlberg-starring film--might be more at fault.

Apologies to D.Z. since he was probably referring to Andy Samberg's "Mark Wahlberg talks to the animals" sketch, which I didn't see.
