In a recent interview, Mariah Carey has a whole new theory on why her movie Glitter was a disaster, and it's basically her senior thesis paper for Logic University. From Celebitchy (via ONTD):
"That movie was released on September 11th, 2001 - could there be a worse day for that movie to come out? I don't think so," she said. "I don't even know that many people even saw the movie so I don't think it's the worst thing ever done."
"Glitter was a learning experience and I wouldn't do it again if you paid me. But I didn't have representation or anyone to tell me: 'What you need is a great director'."
To be fair to Mariah, I almost understand what she's saying. It is hard to think of a worse day for a movie to come out. Although when it comes to that movie it's true that I can't imagine a worse day but I also can't imagine a better day. I feel really strongly that the day was not the problem. Not to mention the fact that September 11th, 2001, was a TUESDAY, which is basically the most popular release day of the week for new movies, which only makes this story more smart and full of facts. Whatever, the point is that she didn't know you needed to have a good director to make a good movie, and she wouldn't do it again if you paid her, because apparently the first time she did it for free?
And besides, she doesn't even know that many people even saw the movie, so it can't be the worst thing she's ever done, she doesn't think, because if not even very many people saw it then it is less bad because it's called math, dummy, look it up.
Head of her class. With honors.
