USED GUYS Production Delayed

The 20th Century Fox sci-fi comedy Used Guys has halted preproduction due to scheduling issues. The movie was set to star Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey.

"Due to scheduling issues, production is being delayed on 'Used Guys' ... until sometime next year," the studio said. "The Jay Roach-directed film requires a long prep for its futuristic settings, and both actors have films scheduled for later in the year. All the parties remain committed to making the picture when time permits."

The movie had been set to release on June 15th, 2007.

Good! I can't stand Ben Stiller movies. I know he's supposed to be great, but I just don't find his movies, or him, funny.

Finally a sane person...wessmith, I couldnt agree more with you. I understand he is a big deal for some reason but Ben Stiller out and out sucks.

I know that the dim witted who (for some reason) like his movies will flame me for this and mention the title of some movie that he was in that they like but when it comes down to it, any movie that's watchable that he is in is watchable in spite of him. Any movie of his that sucks, happens to suck because of him.

And dont even get me started by saying that his film gross X amount of dollars, blah, blah, blah. Just because a lot of mindless cattle go see a movie doesn't mean its good. Thats like saying your prom king was actually a really good guy because a lot of people liked him. Do you know anybody who really likes Titanic, and its the highest grossing film (in a single release).

When will hollywood realize that just because Ben Stiller (and Will Farrell for that matter) pretend to be funny that it really isnt. Just becuase you screem and act very animated on film doesnt mean its really funny. It just means that they had fun filming it.

Dear Hollywood, please stop wasting all of our time and stop putting Stiller in movies.

OH MAN... what good news... I don't have a high regard for Ben Stiller either. He acts like a total dumbass in any film he does and he is basically unlikable.

#2 - I agree about Will Farrell, too. He ruined Bewitched.

Why dont you simply say, "Dear Hollywood, stop trying to make money"? Like him or not he is bankable as is Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks. Look at his financial track record. I don't mean one film, I mean like 10 films. Cattle or no cattle, he fills seats. Hollywood wont realize anything because they are correct. Make a movie with Stiller = Make money. You can hate and gripe all you want and call people sheep and cattle but economics don't support your theories. Instead of pissing on everyone else the correct way to present your epinion would be, "Well, I don't care for him" instead of your everyone but is an idiot.
I don't call you a sheep for liking Star Trek do I?

Wow... are you his press agent or what?

I don't particularly care about Stiller, but here's an idea...if you don't like him, don't watch his movies.

...and a publicist!!!

So you blokes think you are better than everyone else,by calling people mindless cattle who go to the movies you don't like.So if the masses go to movies you like(i.e. Transformers etc)then suddenly the mindless cattle aren't so bad,i'll bet.I just take the movie on face value,if someone like Ben Stiller is in it, and it's good then great.If it isn't then that is the way it goes.No actor has all good/great movies in his resume,so give a movie a chance before you blast it before it comes out-reagrdless who is in it(like people on this site do to certain movies), but if you really don't like a particular actor, then don't see it all.
