(39,389 posts)Producers will put millions into a steaming pile of garbage with no story or other redeeming value in the hopes that it nets their costs plus a few bucks before people realize it's total shit...usually by week 3 of box office release. By that time there's another worthless film that will flame out in two weeks.
They should also rename every romantic comedy: I Know It's The First Date And I'm Not Creative Enough To Find Another Way Into Your Panties, But I'm Hoping That This Movie, A $12 Diet Coke, And Dinner From Applebee's Will Impress You.
I miss the movies that had lasting entertainment value. Sure, there are still a few movies that make money upon DVD release and even fewer of those that are entertaining ten years down the road, but they are increasingly hard to find.
