Like I always say, the internet is a gift and a curse.  So much information is at our fingertips but there is also so much bullshit that it is hard to decide which outweighs the other.  Last night was one of those nights where I wish I could have taken back 700mb of space(erased immediately) on my computer and an hour and a half of my time.  Thanks to the internet and a particular website, I downloaded “legally” and watched Rolling Kansas.  I checked it out on IMDB(amazing site) and thought that it sounded fairly entertaining.  Maybe because I was home alone and bored out of my mind but I knew after the first ten minutes that the movies was pretty bad but I decided to stick it out and watch the whole thing.  Needless to say, it was absolutely horrendous.  I honestly can’t even believe this movie was made and that I watched the entire thing.  I think it is supposed to be a comedy but there wasn’t one funny part in the whole thing.  I’m going to spare you guys a plot recap or a full review.  Just know the movie is terrible.  Which brings me to my next point.  At what point during the writing, planning, filming, editing or marketing process do people make a conscious decision to continue with putting out a movie.  Here is how the conversation always plays out in my head.

“This movie is bad.  This movie is very, very bad.  This is one of the worst movies ever.  We are wasting millions of dollars creating it.  It is going to be a failure and potentially ruin some careers.  Fuck it.  Let’s put it out anyway.”

I mean there has to be SOME point in the process of making a movie where people have a conversation about how terrible the movie is, RIGHT???  Maybe a bad movie still makes a decent profit but I’m not even talking about bad movies like Fast and the Furious which still do well at the box office.  I am talking about movies like Glitter with Mariah Carey and Urban Legends with Snoop and Fat Joe.  How do that many people ignore the fact that the movie is HORRIBLE.  Making a movie is not like recording a song in your boy’s basement.  Movies take A LOT of work and A LOT of money.  Okay, you get the point.  I am just kind of bummed about watching The Myth and Rolling Kansas on consecutive days and both movies being failures.  However, I wish everyone would watch Rolling Kansas  so we can start a discussion about why it was made.  Anyone already seen it?????????  On a positive note, Shinjuku Incident which starred Jackie Chan was DOPE and so was El Orfanato.  Just for your viewing (dis) pleasure, here is a 10 minute clip of Rolling Kansas.
