[Erica L. Trudelle]

I just realized this....Madonna's acting career is alot like Michael Jordan's baseball career, they both are rich and powerful enough to take a swing (no pun intended) at a new medium. Obviously Mike should stay with basketball and obviously Madonna should just stay with making shocking videos on MTV. Why when the critics say the movie sucked everyone has to think the critics "sabotaged" it, maybe it really did suck. I picture Madonna throwing a little tantrum because no one wiked her wittle movie and it MUST BE the fault of the critics, of course!!!
That's what happens when you surround yourself with people who only kiss your butt, reality becomes to harsh.

Thanks for letting me vent on Madonna once again! Hope everyone's Tuesday is wonderful

"The New York Post asserted that Madonna will never again be offered a
starring role in a film after the disastrous first week of "Swept Away."
Bill Hoffman reported that Madonna's handlers claim the Material Girl was
sabotaged by the critics. "It's a public hanging by the critics, an
assassination," Madonna publicist Liz Rosenberg told Hoffman. "I can't
believe the level of rage being directed against her. It's a sad state that
these critics are taking such joy in it." In its first weekend, "Swept Away"
only netted $375,000 playing in 196 movie theaters around the country. The
Post reported that Cinema 7 in New York's East Village sold only five
tickets to the first matinee showing of the film and 22 to the second. "God,
it was awful," the Post reported a woman who stormed out of the theater as
saying. "Unwatchable!"
