Someone help me understand this. The Girl Next Door barely does $15 million at the box office when it was in theaters, a horrible failure by almost any Hollywood standard, but release it on DVD and call it an “unrated” version and suddenly it sold more than 700,000 DVDs on its first day of release? How does that happen?
It’s not like The Matrix. The Matrix didn’t do all that hot in the theater originally either, but it was a great film and word of mouth spread about it. By the time it came out on video people were anxious to get it. But no one liked The Girl Next door. No one has been waiting for it. So why sell so many copies?
Wrapped in a brown paper bag, the unrated version of the teen porn comedy, starring Elisha Cuthbert and Emile Hirsch, is on fire, Fox executives said, with DVD sales expected to top the film’s $15 million box office gross by week’s end.
Ok, so are little teen boys rushing out and grabbing their $22 DVD in the hopes of seeing some skin?!?! It that what’s driving this? Man, if only there was some other way of seeing naked women. Oh wait… it’s called the internet. We as a species are quite pathetic sometimes… and I often think the only reason God created the male gender was for women’s comic amusement. Go figure.
