I genuinely don't think it was a bad movie. Why did it bomb?

it was too surreal for normies. also it competed with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon lol

>>213722260 (OP)
this. it was too late for the weirder mid/late 80s movies, and too early for the post-irony era that started in the late 2000s

weird to see Gus and Saul in the same movie with Brendan Fraser and Rose McGowan

Asked too much from a normie audience. Typical problem.

perhaps. In my family we still enjoyed watching Beetlejuice when Monkeybone was released. It's literally the same tier weird if you ask me.

How would you sell this?

Brendan Fraser is a ambidextrous cartoonist that go insane?

>>213722260 (OP)
I went to see it.
It just didn't match the image Brendan had created for himself.

>a cartoonist goes into coma

>his creation tries to snatch his body and escape into the real world possessing it
what's the issue?

90% of the movie is brendan fraser going

Monkey!

I can't believe this was Rose McGowan. Did the whole Weinstein thing wreck her, or was it the Hollywood in general?

>>213722978
It doesn't match any image anyone created, is stupidly original, to the point it gets experimental and that spells doom for light flicks

>>213723027
Cool World exists and also bombed.

>>213723201
True

Still like that one though despite the flaws. Fuck the arbiters of taste
