Title: "Bigger, Stronger, Faster" BOMBS At The Box Office!!!! Blame Will Harris....
Post by: JohnnyVegas on June 18, 2008, 06:23:38 PM

“Big Will” Harris, left, with Christopher Bell, the director of the documentary “Bigger, Stronger, Faster.” ("Big Will" should change his name to "Little Skinny Gay Will").

Despite critical acclaim, such films as 'Bigger, Faster, Stronger*' and 'Young@Heart' can't draw moviegoers.

A gripping documentary about performance-enhancing drugs, “Bigger, Stronger, Faster*” has everything going for it: Some of the year's best reviews, a highly topical subject, a film festival pedigree and winsome filmmakers willing to tour the country to drum up interest.

There's only one thing missing: moviegoers.

This is because society wants to believe that steroids are BAD AND EVIL! and this movie pretty much disproves that "theory".

No one in our country wants the truth, and this is evidence of that.

are you saying you think a 19 year old who spends several hours a day on the computer posting on bodybuilding forums andd watching bbing training videos and spending all his other time eating or in the gym would have some kind of social anxiety and/or lack of ability to conversate???    ::)

It's not about bodybuilding.

The director was interviewed on a regular radio show (Adam Carolla). Listen to the podcast. Adam loved it and you'll hear they mention nothing about bodybuilding.

Stick to torrents that have downloaders comments, Keith. If its fake someone will post a warning. Private torrent sites weed out the fakes but you have to maintain a respectable ratio.
Download with care on public torrents.

It CAN'T do worse on DVD than what it grossed-$163K is fucking pathetic.

Their mistake was a limited release. They should have opened in AS MANY thaters as possible week 1 (which is hard because it is a doucmentary), but you don't open in 6 week 1 then jump to 26 in week 3.

Do people still buy DVDs?  Why when you can rent from Netflix or Blockbuster?  How many times can you watch the same DVD?  And if you DO want a copy in your library can't you just copy the DVD you rented? ???

I have a friend who owns 500 DVD and counting; he has now switched to BluRay disks; and he wonders why he never has any money.  ::)

I'll watch Bigger, Stronger, Faster, but only when it is on Netflix.

give it  a week or 2, it will be on the net, there's not interest in it so they will just leak it..
