    Lot of bad news this morning, feels like a good day to just disassociate while watching the 1997 Tim Robbins-Martin Lawrence film “Nothing to Lose.”

    I love how the movie clearly started scripting at some point as a heavy handed allegory for US healthcare and planned obsolescence but the finished movie screened with "WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR CHAINS".

    In a world where the FBI director got his job through a paperwork error... look, what I'm trying to say is, THE DRIZZ HAS NOTHING TO LOSE, I don't have time to write ad copy for this movie.

    Share an ACTION movie title that begins with the letter "N" 🎥 Nothing to Lose (1997) This scene with Tim Robbins freaking out with his shoes on fire while the Scatman song plays still cracks me up! 🤣

    Aside from thinking I've never seen Nothing to Lose, I'm a fan of all those films! Airport is still my favorite 1970s disaster movie (it is the granddaddy of them all, even if it doesn't match the spectacle of those that would follow). I'll definitely toss in my recommendation for 4 of them. 👍

    This effort on the release day of "Nothing to Lose" was a façade to create numbers and to advertise the movie as a blockbuster. But all of the projection rooms were empty. Very few people went to see the movie, even though they didn't paid anything.

    There is a good example here in Brazil. There was a movie, called "Nothing to Lose", made to register the owner of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God, Mr. Edir Macedo. It was his biography. They bought every single ticket and distributed to random people in Shopping Centers as freebies.

    What a fucking sublime film. Sank without a trace in America (I once read) because it was retitled “Nothing to Lose”. A three word title in which two of the words are negative? Even art house distributors just took a hard pass.

    Nothing to Lose (1997) Trailer was hilarious. Problem was ALL the funny parts were in the trailer, the rest of the movie was awful.

    A funny movie. A guy having a bad day gets car jacked and takes the car jacker on a ride. Then they decide to go on a crime spree together.
