Great
news for Sliders

JOC's new film 'Body Shots' opened last weekend. It earned 0.5 million. That number divided by 3 days, 5 times a day, average 6 dollar ticket price and 2000 screens is less than 3.That is right! Each theater is filled with 3 people to see JOC's film.
When a new natial-wide distributed film opens with below 10 million, it is called a disappoinment. With 5 million, it is a disaster. With 0.5 million, box watchers have not yet invented a word for it.
All popular TV shows include friends, party of five, pratice. Their stars also do movies. But none quit their TV jobs. Well, I hope JOC realizes his mistake now.
Ok, if he want to put food on the table, he had better...
it's
your faults!

Somehow

If it is you JOC, you've got a great sense of humor about all this. And I'm supporting you. Myself and others have been defending your honor here on the BBoard from the JOC bashers. Haven't seen Body Shots mainly because it isn't showing in any of the theaters in my area so can't comment on it.Although, you're going to have to prove you are JOC because, like I said, I get the feeling this may be another JOC basher using JOC's name as their handle.

Body shots did make 1/2 a million dollars this weekend. Not bad considering it really has not had any publicity and it is only playing on 303 screens it was 18th in the box office this weekend. Give the guy a break will you. Yeah, he left Sliders that sucks. He moved onto other things. He gave us a few good years and left it happens. He is enough of a gentleman to let bygones be bygones and does not discuss his departure. Did you ever think it might have legalities that keeps him closed lip on the topic. It is still mentioned and he looks on those days fondly.I liked Body Shots for what it was and I thought JOC did a great job. If you are going to hold a grudge that is your problem. I am sure you'll say mean things about M2M as well and early word from the critics say it is great!!

That is no publicity, i sure as hell saw commercials for it.
Saying it had no publicity is either showing you are living in a cave or you are an IDIOT, or you are extremely exaggerating, since i know you are usually an OK petrson i'll guess its the exaggerateing, but if it aint that, it's the others.
just watched Joes Apt. How ironic

I agree about all of Jerry's appearances. I actually only saw the commercials on MTV, other stations in my area did not show them. I was just angered at the post. I do admit when I am wrong.nycslider
About
Body Shots...

From: lastslider
In the commercial for it, it says, "Opens October 22 Everywhere," while I called around at every theater within 45 minutes of my town (which is very small -- there's not even much of a grocery store here), and not one was showing the film. That was about 7 theaters I called too."Body Shots" actually didn't get much publicity at all. The amount of the teen-and-20-somethings-targeted films is slowly being lowered...alot more adult-audience films and films with a supernatural-themed story (like "The Sixth Sense" & "House On Haunted Hill") are what's drawing audiences in now. That's why this film did so poorly at the box office this past weekend. Jerry did make quite a few appearances, and three other cast members (Tara Reid, I don't remember the other two's names) appeared on Loveline. Otherwise, there really wasn't much publicity for the film at all, other than the commercials that began airing about a week before the actual release, and the appearances previously noted. This is mainly because "Body Shots" wasn't a big-budgeted film expected to be a blockbuster. On the other hand, "Mission To Mars" (M2M for short) is, and it has also been getting good buzz, like another poster said.
See ya on the flip slide

with all due respect, I pretty much don't care when you bash JOC, but calling another poster an idiot just because he/she disagrees with post by someone else? Come on man. That wasn't fair. You always claim that you bash only those who 'stupidly' scream that S5 sucks without JOC... do u?Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking a fight with you (or anyone else for that matter. I've been down that road more than enough times). Most of the times I enjoy your posts, but your reply to nycslider was too harsh to say at least.
If you compare publicity Three to Tango or Bats gets (commercials every 15 min on all channells) to Body Shots (I only saw commercial once and No I don't leave in a cave), you'll understand what nycslider meant by saying that there was no publicity.
Plus don't forget that movie is rated R and as was said before only opened in a little over 300 theaters. So if you use the same math, calculations will show that the movie did very well. And for all its worth the movie is actually pretty good and JOC did a great job in it (I know that you'll disagree which is quite understandable, we all have our own angle for looking at things)

I said he was either an idiot, living in a cave, or exaggerating.
Then i said based on what i knew of him i would assume exaggerating.
I said he was exaggerating, with the outside possibility of being an idiot.
