Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

[Drtooth]

Anyway, back to the subject. Remember how a while back I mentioned some horrible parody movie? Apparently there were two of them... and I just found that out looking up one I thought was the on e I was talking about.

The Starving Games and The Hungover Games. The last one was so bad that it went directly to RedBox. The first one actually was released... unadvertised... and made 3 million on a 4.5 million budget. WOW!

Oh My Glob! Did you read those synopsis? It sounds like one of those Poohs Adventures with _______ fan fics. And was that Willie Wonka on the Hangover Games cover? Way to be relevant!

But the worst, and most overreaction deserving of all?

Baby Geniuses 3. Saw it at a Redbox. And apparently they're making more since they can just crap'em out to DVD. So, basically you're making a movie series of a movie series no one liked in the first place, and the ones that did hated the second one? Supposedly, it was a pilot for a TV show no one would be stupid enough to greenlight, according to TV Tropes.

What the???????????? Is that even necessary??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I'm just glad that it wasn't the Oogieloves, or whatever the crap we were talking about that gave me nightmares involving the Oogieloves!! Or a Farrely Brothers' Three Stooges 2. Or a Super Mario Bros. Cartoon Show Movie That Nobody Would Like to See Because the Show was Horrible in the First Place!!!!!!!!! But, this is still pretty bad. Like, this is a like a huge low point in my life hearing about this. Listen, I hate The Hunger Games, so this is like horrible for me. Sorry if I'm overreacting, but, geez, couldn't they come up with something better than stupid movie parodies for movies no one even liked?? If anything, it should've been posted on YouTube, not as a FULL MOVIE!!!!!!!! What are movies coming to these days????? I remember when everything used to be good, but now they're feeding kids crap and junk..... Therefore, I will conclude this message with saying to the producers to this movie: STUPID!!!!!!!!!

I really don't get why these parody movies are still a thing. Sure, they did mildly well back in the early 00's when that sort of rapid fire pop culture humor referencing worked, but once Disaster Movie hit, they crossed the crappy movie event horizon, it bombed, and no one wanted to see any of these things anymore. Then again, these aren't even close to major releases.

Still... another Baby Geniuses? Well, that goes against the theory that useless reboots are only in it for the money. No one possibly would want to see that one. That's almost an Oogieloves level of lack of awareness.

I liked The Smurfs ones, though.....

Speaking of stupid movies...

Apparently we have to wait longer for the 50 Shades of Grey movie. Jeez. Listening to that news on Morning Soft News, you'd think that it was a tragedy!

For those who are actually wanting to see the movie? There's porn. The movie's going to be porn as much as the book is Deviant Art quality porn fan fiction... written by a grown woman. Standard porn probably has a better plot.

Say, do you want to hear about a project worse than 50 Shades of Grey? Hollywood is now looking to erotic One Direction fan fiction for ideas!

My one tiny complaint about MMW was the mentioning of One Direction (and as I don't want another debate about that film, I'm leaving that right there). OD is over. They're just another in a long line of disposable pop musicians that have no staying power. And while I'd love to rail on the band about it, it's the fault of the oh so fickle fanbase that would send death threats to those who say the band sucks one day, and say their music is for loser babies the next. And of course, they move onto something exactly the same.

As for fanfics, there are good ones, no doubt. But erotic fan fiction... well... suffice to say Tina from Bob's Burgers is an apt parody of that.

Other than that, that almost sounds like it came from The Onion. While I'm not an advocate of "Hollywood is running out of ideas" in either sense (Sense 1: We've run out of ideas in storytelling before Shakespeare's Day Sense 2: Hollywood goes where the money is), this would clearly prove that they're desperate to look for money. And that money is not going to be there by the time the film is made. The fans will have moved on to a similar band, like it's drastically different.

I'm not sure why anyone would think this was a good idea to give money over to yet, since the 50 Shades of Grey movie could bomb big-time. Yes, the books sold a lot of copies, but that doesn't mean the movie will follow as a success. The studio could have just sat and waited until the first movie came out to decide if it's worth throwing money at another similar franchise.

 

[fozzieisfunny]

I agree that One Direction has been dying down a little bit, but, what I don't get, is that stupid Austin Mahone music video called "Mmm Yeah" where, unfortunately, someone pointed out what they were trying to do, and it's just sad: THEY'RE TRYING TO GET SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK STARS TO STAR IN IT, AND THEY ACTUALLY CONVINCED THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's it, I'm leaving....

( leaves the room, and then slams his iPhone on the ground so that his kids can't look at that video anymore)

Well, There's no doubt that 50 Shades will be X rated. Hard R at the very least with major edits. There's no way One Direction's fan base would be old enough (18+) to flock to a movie with the same rating. I don't even see a 1D movie being PG-13, so I guess they'd go with something I call "relationship Porn." You know. Gratuitous relationships between characters that don't make any sense together in a relationship because it's Deviant Art? Am I ever sick of those.

50 Shades will only work for an X rating because older housewives can't get enough of it. A band who's target demo is under 16? Not so much.

Speaking of Social Media crap... what's the deal with this Tammy the Tomboy garbage Nick's shoving down throats? They have some big "movie" premiere like it's this great new thing. The same people that thought Fred was "hot" 3 years after he was relevant.
