I'm currently confused if there is a rule against profanity, so I'll block out certain words. I'm sorry, but this get's me nagr and I am open to any discussions on this matter.
Each Saw movie has had a Saw weekend. The Friday before Halloween, every movie. Well, now HSM3, made by Disney, haves to come out on Saw weekend? HSM3 could have come out the weekend after or before. Why on Saw weekend? It's the HSM to actually go into theater's, and I think Disney just wants to screw with Saw, and Lions Gate. Seriously, what the **** is wrong with Disney?
Again, I'm open to opinions. Disney's movie's are filled with plastic girls, and girls pretending to be good on moving camera. But, what about what they do on the other camera's? Most of these stars are teenager's, and tht's not acceptable. Any stars that are above eighteen, I'd respect above twenty though, I can gladly accept their decission to show off their body's. But, no one under eighteen should show off their privates, and undergarments. Especially see-through garments. :sarcasm:

I agree with the fact that actors and actresses who are under the legal age of eighteen shouldn't be able to show too much off. It's bad enough that teenagers seem to be all about sex now and how they look. You would think that some of the things that happen in movies would be illegal...;-;...But no..>.<!

Why does it really matter when the movie comes out?

It's sickening if the actor's are under age. But I do find many movies with crude and sexual humor very funny, STEP BROTHERS. Yes, I loved thast movie. Anyway, only little kids watch Disney, so that pretty much outranks america. I think Disney wants to screw with Saw. I don't know why, but there is no reason they had to put their movie out on Saw weekend. It makes me mad! :x

Because Saw had a signature. Thier signature was the Friday before halloween. You can't let something like this sit still! Disney has no right to come up and do this. On Saw weekend! Saw weekend has been Saw weekend for over five years. Disney shouldn't just saunter up and do this. Stupid little plastic s**ts... :stare:

How can it be saw weekend when there are no more saw movies to come out though? And why would Disney care about it?

Are you kidding? Saw V is coming out on Halloween. And they're making more than seven movies... I think I just died a little, from your post. *clutches chest* No, how could the world be so mistaken?!?

*Shrug* Lol, well here there is no "saw weekend". Movies don't exactly hold traditions because by the time they come out it'll be like 2009 haha. And sorry, didn't know they were still making saw movies o___o. But really, can Disney really help when their movie comes out?

Yes, Disney can. Saw has always held a traditional weekend to come out. I told you, the Friday before Halloween has been a Saw tradition.

I believe you. :P So are you saying that absolutely no other movies come out on that day?

That's not what I'm saying. Disney is doing it intentionally, and what is with a crappy, prep movie coming out on Halloween? They're doing it intentionally!

This topic is not general discussion material. It's not really Media material either, but it's closer than GD so I'm going to move it there and keep an eye on it.

As far as the topic of discussion: Saw doesn't own any weekend, there is no "Saw weekend," there certainly couldn't have been a "Saw weekend" for "over five years" as you said, since only four movies have been released, and any studio is free to put out any movie they want on any day they want, your objections notwithstanding.

Isn't the General Discussion, the GD? I know that they don't own it, but usually on the Friday Saw comes out on, no other movies do, in respect for the movie. The movie has like a tradition.

According to imdb, on 26 Oct 2007, the release date of Saw IV, the most anticipated movie in the franchise, there were 77 other films released in the US.

Saw doesn't own a weekend, it doesn't have a "Saw weekend". Also why just say that High School Musical 3 can't open on "Saw weekend", why not say that no other movie can open on that weekend, since how you put it it's "Saw weekend".

Also most of the stars in High School Musical 3 are 19 years of age and older, they are legal adults and can do whatever they want.

No one understands... It has been a Saw tradition for five years, counting this year. And High School Musical, has always been a tv movie, now all of a sudden they make it a 'real' movie, and put it in theater's on the same day as Saw. :sarcasm:
I know they're legal adults, if you fully read my post you would see I'm reffering to all disney stars, and that most of them; such as that Miley Cyrus, who'm I hate with a hot intencity that is really unexplainable; which are underage, and flash their nudity everywere. And go get impregnated. And before you bring up Nick, the only star that went wrong on that channel was Jamie Lynn. But you really can't blame a Spears... :yes:

On first impression, I'm actually glad that Disney decided on that particular release date.
Halloween is always a time for blood and gore festivities, but some of us really don't buy into that. I can't take slasher movies of any kind. So that makes the holiday a little hard for me - If I want to go to the theatre or watch a movie on tv, I'm limited to something from the horror genre. And that just makes me queasy. HSM3 at least offers some kind of option. It may not be the best movie in the world, but I'd feel better seeing it instead of Saw V.

Everyone has different tastes - Giving children (and those of us with weak stomachs) an alternate way to celebrate Halloween isn't a bad thing.

I guess you right, but only kids will want to see HSM3. But I think Halloween should be about the gore and slasher films. Halloween is the Day Of The Dead. We're just treating it like it is with our wonderful movies.

That's the point. It's a movie for KIDS to see. Do you really want there to be no option for children going to the movie theatres to see anything BUT a gory film? Even if it is Halloween, I don't think they need to be subjected to such.
I in no way like HSM, and have actually watched all four Saw films so far but I think you need to be a little less selfish. So what if it's "Saw Weekend"? People who want to see Saw will see Saw. But I'm glad there's a less gory option for those who don't. I don't condone HSM for kids, and the same goes with cell phones that I see attached to their ears now. But I also wouldn't completely generalize all of Disney teenagers into saying they all want to strip on television. -.-
I personally don't like most disney shows anymore since I think they've gone to shit. But if anyone else likes them, I'm not going to yell and scream about it, or make a topic because they chose to release a suitable film for children so they don't have to see something so terrifying and gut-wrenching.

I'm going to have to agree with Sweet Lime on this.

The Saw franchise does not "own" the Friday before Halloween weekend. You don't just "own" a day. It may be a tradition for Saw fans such as yourself, but other companies have their own rights to release movies on whichever days they want to.

I don't like High School Musical either, but Disney is a multi-million dollar corporation, and with that kind of fame and power they can announce anything they want. I know you don't like the current Disney teens because of the kind of vibe they set off on the rest of the world, but that's not going to stop them from being in the world, or for releasing their movie for that matter.

What in the right mind prompted you to think that Disney is "doing something intentionally" to ruin Saw's weekend? Has somebody from the company actually gone up to you and told you that they actually wanted to ruin the tradition of "Saw weekend"? I honestly don't think that is likely to happen, but I'd like to see anyone try to prove me wrong.

You may not like Disney's decision, but I don't see how they did anything wrong. YES there are a lot of films that get released on the same day. I don't think all the movie corporations got together and said "Hey, only Saw can be released on such and such day and no other movies can be released that day either." It just doesn't happen.

Do you think it's the rest of us that "doesn't understand" or are you not thinking that you yourself may be wrong?

I highly doubt that disney purposely plotted it out so that the movie comes out the same weekend as saw in order to ruin saw's sales or whatever.

And most girls who are apart of disney are against plastic surgery. Ashley Tisdale and Selena Gomez both said that they dont want younger girls to get a wrong message of being promiscuous. So if anything disney channel stars are against "plastic girls".

Since the Saw movies are rated R, this is a good thing. Kids can't get in there anyway. It's good to give them a movie option during that weekend.
And I actually know a lot of adults who buy into the HSM series, too. A bunch of people I know are probably going to con their younger siblings into going to the theatre just so that they can see it. :rofl:

If they don't see it at home, or with their parents, they will see it somewere else. Kids should watch movies like that, it shows the twisted danger of being kidnapped, ect. So I think it's a very recoursful movie that teaches alot... :yes: I am that morbid, but it's true.

In all honesty, I'm not understanding anything that you have to say logically, or illogically for that matter. I'm lost in whether this is about release dates, or production companies playing with other production companies, or what should or shouldn't be allowed for specific age groups, or whatever else this is about.

I think your suggestion of showing young children movies like that of the Saw franchise to teach them the moral implications of what could happen in the world would probably be more of a cruel act of self-gratification to the person showing them these things than it would be a lesson of trust and the idea that this movie will help them to understand why people do things. The Saw movies are nothing but gore-fests bent on creating suspense and make the viewers as scared as possible, and the very plots of the movies themselves are neither justified nor probable. The chances of a single killer playing games such as this with as many victims as the movies project is very slim, nor is it something that a child should be told is something that happens often. I'm not saying that movies like High School Musical will help children to learn or develop any more than the Saw movies will, but that they're more appropriate to their age group and should be recognized as such.

The whole release date thing is a little silly. What does it matter that Disney chooses to pick that day to release a movie? I don't see any problem with it. And why only target Disney for being competition to Lionsgate? Universal Pictures, Summit Entertainment, Columbia Pictures, New Line Cinema, Sony Pictures Classics, and The Winestein Company all have movies coming out on that same day. It's a bit hypocritical. I think the real problem that you have with it is that you just don't like High School Musical and that as a Saw fan, you're worried that High School Musical has a larger fanbase than Saw does and that Saw will be overshadowed by something you hate.

I was talking about production companies messing with other production companies. About the kid's I wasn't talking about Saw, I meant movies were people get themselves mixed up with the wrong people, and you know what happens next. *sigh* I'm never understood...

Then show us written proof, from a legitimate and reliable news source, that Disney is messing with Lionsgate.
