The Worst Movie Ideas to Ever Get Funding

The Worst Movie Ideas to Ever Get Funding view story

Quick list of films that don't make sense how/why they were made. Of course, the list is by no means exhaustive, but the following are some definite notables that come to mind.

Ok, my full disclosure here is that I didn't read past the first paragraph of the article. But I couldn't really. Here's the first paragraph:

"I assume that the way the majority films that receive funding in Hollywood is based heavily on whose assistant can give the best “oral explanation” to the studio executives. I picture in my head a bunch of guys sitting around in suits throwing buzzwords at each other until someone says 'alright, I’ll throw 25 million behind that, lets get a script, what is Kevin Smith up to, he can churn out swill.' Then come the hookers and everyone gets blown."

A giant red flag always goes up for me when there's a typo in the first sentence of a blog. It really should read "the majority of films [...]" but even if you fix that, the sentence is poorly structured and difficult to get through.

And why is "oral explanation" quoted? It doesn't need quotes, it can be taken literally without special attention and still make sense. I assumed they're implying an innuendo, which is a bit crass but forgivable I guess.

Then he throws in this last part about hookers blowing everybody, which is really crass.

Sigh, I think I should go drink some coffee. I'm always a bitch until I've had my coffee.
