Madonna is doing the press rounds for her film W.E. and one of the outlets she talked to was
MTV. The interviewer asked her, “Do you still have ambition as an actress?” The woman who starred in one of the worst movies ever made (if not the worst) shook her head and said, “No.” So he asked “why not?” and she responded with “I like directing better.” adding, “It’s my voice. Especially if I write it. If I write it and I direct it, then it’s my voice. If I am the actor, I’m just a pawn.” I wonder if she will change her voice after her first feature film doesn’t do well. According to
Box Office Mojo the movie has only made $284,984 in The UK since Jan. 20th to today, in fact it only made an average of $1,657 in 172 theaters it is playing in there. Ouch.
As someone who sat through all of Swept Away, I am so happy she gave up acting because a movie like that should never ever be repeated. That movie was so bad, I wish I was a Razzie member that year just so I could vote for it for every category even if it wasn’t applicable. I would not even wish for my worst enemy to see it.
