Waterworld

Yes, I watched it….finally. It was hard to watch but the movie had the distinction of one of the top flops in movie history so when it came on I had to watch it….I got about an hour in.

Yes, it truly is that bad.

Interesting enough, some preliminary research showed that they made their money back with international box office sales whereas Eddie Murphy’s Pluto Nash never did:

Here are the stats:

“The Adventures of Pluto Nash” (2002, Warner Bros.)
Budget: $90 million to $100 million
U.S. Box Office: $4.4 million

The Aftermath: “Pluto” took in a paltry $2.2 million in its opening weekend, with Variety’s Peter Bart declaring it “Instant Ishtar” and adding that its opening “seemed more like a boycott than a bow.” Murphy followed up with back-to-back bombs “I Spy” and “Showtime” before retreating to the safety of the kiddie genre, where he hit with “Daddy Day Care.”

Ok, so UK TV sucks….maybe Daddy Day Care will come on soon.
