Sessler's Soapbox: Grand Theft Box Office
Posted By: Jonathan Hunt - Wednesday, April 09, 2008 3:30 PM

In this week's Sessler's Soapbox, Sessler is taking on Hollywood. Adam's got an issue with movie-type big wigs who prefer to blame a movie's sub-par performance on the release of a videogame instead of considering the possibility that the movie simply wasn't very good. What do you think? Do you think Halo 3 is at fault for the poor performance of The Heartbreak Kid? Will GTA IV affect Iron Man? Check out the video and share your thoughts below or let us know what you think on our forums.

I really dont think gta4 will affect ironman. And i dont really give a flying fart if it does, cause im still gonna go see it.

Seeing as I won't be getting GTA4 (but still want it really bad), I might see Iron Man
But if I was gonna get it, I don't think I would be unable to put a game down for 2 hours to see Iron man.
Unless its Banjo-Kazooie 3, that will rule my life

I love GTA as much as the next die-hard GTA player, but it will not stop me from going to see this kick-ass looking movie.

and i thought vidoe games was only going to be blamed for killings and drugs,..

My gods I want to see Iron Man! Still another half month to wait though :(

I couldn't care less about GTA4, so there will be nothing stopping me from seeing Iron Man (hopefully it's good enough to see a couple times).

Very good point that you're making Adam, Hollywood likes to look for excuses when their movie does bad and sucks. It actually happens with a lot of people in the world, trying to find excuses when they do something bad.

Thanks for up these things Adam, I salute you.

Looks like I'm on the same boat with a lot of people here. I won't be getting GTA4, will most definitely go see Ironman.

And Adam is right, that Heartbreak Kid movie sucked balls.

To be honest, I wasn't going to buy GTA4 or see Iron Man unless someone made me. (or I found out there was going to be at least one hot guy that was going to be at least partially nude in it.) One of those two things...

I'm definitely getting GTA IV as soon as it is released. If it becomes availible at midnight, I'll be the first in line, bitches! I'm going to see Ironman, anyway. It's only 8 bucks per ticket from where I live. Oh and The Heartbreak Kid really does sucks.
