Given That It's Seltzerberg It's SURE to SUCK!!

Welcome to the board, Areyouserious. I suspect that the people who made this movie start out with pretty low opinions of their audience. After all, anyone with half a brain wouldn't pay to see it in the first place, unless it is the tortured souls like myself that are Razzie voters and eventually watch all the nominated movies for the sake of credibility. Quite honestly, I've never watched Jersey Shore and I couldn't pick Lady Gaga out in a police lineup. For folks like me, trying to explain the jokes aren't going to make them any funnier, and for the really dumb members of the audience that just don't get them, it is probably equally futile. As a great comedian once said, "if you have to explain 'em..."

Originally posted by cvcjr13   If it's a parody, it's legal.  It doesn't have to be a good parody.  It just needs to be a parody.

I meant more along the lines of how they manage to convince studio heads to invest and greenlit their s***. I'm thinking blackmail photos and recreational drugs come into play during those pitch meetings.

Originally posted by cvcjr13   It's even worse than that.  It's the same thing that cause our great economy to meltdown.  It's greed.  Nothing but pure Gordon Gekko/King Midas greed.  Seltzerberg movies make money.  Studio heads and investors say, "Oh, yeah!"

Yes, it's sad, but true. I guess it's just my wishful thinking that these movies aren't greenlit by studio heads that are of sound mind and judgement at the time.

Originally posted by Grounder the Critic I still can't believe why this movie made more money than Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

I'm sure if "Scott Pilgrim" spent much needed screen time mocking all things "Twilight", it might have made more money, and I know Miguel would have seen it ten times in one day.

Originally posted by Vits They thought "Why watch a rip-off of KICK-ASS,which I like,when I can watch a parody of THE TWILIGHT SAGA,which I dislike?".

Only, it wasn't a rip-off of "Kick-Ass", it was a loyal adaptation of a different comic book, and I haven't heard a single person who saw it say anything bad about it.
