how does junk like this get made????????????

i mean, really. there are so many struggling filmmakers out there (me) waiting for a break and then somebody actually finds money to fund junk like this?????

also i notice the writer is the star too. i wonder how many dudes out there actually believe (trust me, i do not think this) that they are gonna follow in stallone's footsteps by creating their own vehicle to becoming a star. "when people see me in this, when they see how cool i am, i am gonna catch on like wildfire and i will get offers and money and fame... i will be the next big thing, once people see me acting in this masterpiece which i also wrote."

lol

i bet a dollar to donut this guy actually thought something very similar to this. i am gonna go check to see what he has listed after this one, to see if he is still getting jobs and offers. i don't see how, but i gotta admit i am curious.



it's ALL OVER THE PLACE and an incoherent mess. i guess they think as long as they know what is going on, it's okay to leave the viewer out of the loop (of what's going on in the story) lol i don't know what his goal is, what he's trying to do, why he wants to do it, and it's even unclear who this dude is. if he is the other guy from the opening ten minutes, how am i supposed to know that? it has NOT BEEN COMMUNICATED in any way. (WTF?)

besides that, it's BORRRRRRRRRRING!!!!!!!!!!


moreover, they got suvari and tom arnold and bill sadler for this??? how? (and allegedly c thomas howell though i haven't seen him show up yet)


i was 'kinda' into it then they threw homeboy off a bridge and then suddenly i am watching a DIFFERENT dude walk around doing lots of boring sh!t and mena suvari was gone, and tom arnold shows up with lots of trying to be funny stuff which had NOTHING to do with the story (which has disappeared at that point anyway, so i guess it didn't matter)


the first 10-12 minutes were kindof engaging. i was gonna finish it. but now i gotta say i agree with the other poster--- not sure i can get through even 30 minutes


again, W----H----O funded this? did the investors read the script????? (duh!)


it's crap like this that makes it hard for others who do have talent, because when investors get burned then now they become leary of everybody. jeesh. enough already.

(OMG this movie showed at Cannes in May 2011????? wow. i bet they were blown away)




i have decided this is one of those movies that it's 'fun to hate' ...one that is so bad it's good for laughs. for movies like that, so bad that they become funny, i have a DRUNK MOVIE LIST http://www.imdb.com/list/goiH7S0dy7I/

and, you guessed it: restitution made the list! lol

I am five minutes in as we speak and bored out of my mind.

Cici: "Oh, I'm sorry my bad, I thought you were someone else".
Ghost Face: "That's OK, I am"
