It always amazes me how horrible some of the movies are that get pushed on the public. Right now you can't turn on the TV without seeing a preview for Hot Tub Time Machine starring Darryl from the office or Repo Men starring god knows who. I can't figure out which one will be more sickening to sit through. On one hand, we have Hot Tub Time Machine which is based on a Hot Tub Time Machine. You have to wonder what would possess someone to write this movie, but I guess this is what you get when you mix a hot tub with a crap load of drugs and alcohol. What really baffles me is how this movie actually made it onto the desk of an executive. Like we've all seen Entourage (which also kind of sucks now) so I know there are some Ivy leaguers running these movie companies so how can you explain this one? Snakes on a Plane, Pooty-tang, and every Tyler Perry movie all made a crap load of money so maybe setting the bar really low with a bad title and following through with a horrible movie really is a formula for success. But Repo Men is a whole different story. This movie is basically about some badasses who hunt down people who bought artificial limbs/organs on credit and defaulted. The Repo Men are responsible for hunting these people down and repossessing their limbs (repo men...get it). Sounds like a winner to me. It couples the credit crisis with the artificial limb industry. Talk about hitting home...I mean there is nothing worse then getting the balls up to go in for a new arm and then having to deal with those pesky debt collectors. BARBARIC! So what do you guys think? ...and more importantly, can someone explain the "purposely bad movie/movie title" phenomenon to me so I can quit my job and get rich?
