Assuming you mean Horrible Bosses, no, that movie didn't bomb at all; it made quite a large profit. 
No Hollywood movie has ever turned a profit.

QuoteI thought it was pretty good, too.
Same thing here, nice flick :)

Habbaku

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

-J. R. R. Tolkien

Hunger Games was a very well done book, and not at all written for the adolescent teenie bopper in mind, in general its appeal has been more to boys in fact than girls.

I was bored with Hunger Games because I had previously read Battle Royale, although I concede that book was reasonably well done.

Aside these examples, Star Wars never made a cent of profit, as such, the guy portraying Darth Vader was never paid.

Watching Grimm....I keep watching though its not a great show.
It is alrightish but not awesome. There's not much good at the moment though.
It just fundamentally doesn't make sense though. How is this one cop always running into
these supernaturally themed cases? And only after he learns of his powers?

I watched the first few episodes of Grimm, it was alright. I'd probably still be watching if it focused more on an overall storyline and less on the monster of the week. Just can't be arsed to care about a new plotline every week.

I'm glad they acknowledged England's one and only football glory in Mad Men. Why was Peter taking classes? Didn't understand that.

Stupid Irish.  Truly are the negroes of Europe. Too busy killing each other, while the Brits are standing around like the Romans in Life of Brian.

It's actually worked in an overarching plotline, especially of late.  It still remains the lesser show though compared to Once Upon A Time.

 :weep:  At least Once Upon A Time didn't get cancelled after one season!  Plus, Ginnifer Goodwin is sexy.  And Meghan Ory for that matter.

Dangerous Liaisons was on earlier.  Still John Malkovich's best role evah.  So...reptilian.

I would've had a blast back then.  THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND ME? I MAKE THIS WIG LOOK GOOD
