FIFA film mocked by U.S. media

Tim Roth is such an awesome actor, and the rapping he's going to take for portraying Sepp Blatter ...

Yes, he is! From Wikipedia:

"Roth has said that he asked the filmmakers: "Where's all the corruption in the script? Where is all the back-stabbing, the deals?" He said he attempted to convey these elements through his performance, saying: "It was a tough one. I tried to slide in a sense of it, as much as I could get in there.""

And the film has the rare honor of earning a 0% favorability rating on review website RottenTomatoes.com.

LOL. Take that Sepp. Who, obviously, did not attend the LA premiere, for fear of being arrested. Nor, do I believe he is in attendance at the women's World Cup in Canada for the same reason.

Sepp Blatter would have attended the women's World Cup to observe and decide on compulsory FIFA tight shorts for the women players. Perhaps even cleavage revealing T-shirts. Now that he is leaving office & afraid to get arrested on-transit in LA to Canada, who's going to do this arduous task?

I am open to a bribe of $150 million in order to watch the film . . .

That is hilarious. Just checked and it is still zero. Too bad they do not have negative ratings.

Any one up for a double feature, Battlefield Earth and FIFA?

Gerald is perfect for the role. A fat, old European guy with hard to understand English.

Methinks this is not the last movie to be made about FIFA. In fact, I bet a script is already in the works. I'll wait for that.

They really do need to make a movie about the making of this movie.

Tim Roth...face palm...why take this role?

The timing is so comical you have to wonder whether they're deliberately trying to sabotage themselves

Only Fifa could prepare the making of a film centered around a major global sporting event and insist the 'heroes' are the boardroom executives.

It opened on Friday in the U.S. in 10 theatres in New York; Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Phoenix; Kansas City; Miami; Minneapolis; Houston; Dallas; and Philadelphia.

The Hollywood Reporter says the film earned $319 on Friday and $288 on Saturday in those theatres.

Yes, a total of $607.

At the theatre in Phoenix it earned $9.

Blatter's longevity amazed me. clown. how Roth can play him in this travesty is beyond me. though we should be clear that his replacement is likely to be just as ridiculous. David Ginola anyone?
