All those people with their hands up, who went to see "Meet the Spartans" way, way back at the beginning, innocently knowing it might've been a little wretchedly goofy, but optimistically thinking "Dood, it's, like 300 jokes! ", line up on this line.

Now YOU explain it to him. (Especially the part about how low-budget movie distributors think, "Dood, it's Hunger/Twilight jokes, they're hip and current and have their comedic finger on the trendy pulse of the young moviegoer! ")

Are you completely incapable of giving simple answers, or do all of your posts have to be anecdotal?

Not complaining at all, as they tend to amuse or educate me, but it's just something I've noticed, and noticed, and noticed, and...you get where this is going.

Well, this is something. The Asylum has been known to put out mockbusters better than the actual film once in a while (Sherlock Holmes, Battle of Los Angeles, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, &c).

But Seltzerberg? Those incompetent hacks who have made some of the worst films ever? I never would have those guys would make a movie better than the one they were spoofing, but it could happen. Even if this is on the level of Disaster Movie (around my #30 least favorite film ever) it will still be superior to the actual film, The Hunger Games (around my #20 least favorite film ever)!

But seriously. We've already been tortured by one Hunger Games movie, do we really need Seltzerberg rubbing salt in the wound?

yeah, so many suffered through the Hunger Games. Just cause you don't like something doesn't mean millions of others don't..

Okay. All I'm saying is that the typical Seltzerberg work, while still abhorrent, absymal and abominable, is still slightly better to me than The Hunger Games. Which is mildly amusing to me.

Wow... that is a statement that I might expect to hear in some twisted parallel universe and not in this reality.

Because they make money, thanks to teens and twentysomethings with no taste.

Sigh...How these guys keep getting work, I'll never know. People need to quit giving money to these guys.

It seems this one is not being funded by a major studio, but from outside the US it seems. But yes they gotta stop giving them money, and give people with real scripts the funds to make actual movies. Why these guys piss me off so much. Taking funds from people who actually need it.
