well, we have to be fair, this crap costs major jack and there needs to be a return on that investment. I mean, there's horrid, horrid movies being cranked out for the SciFi... sorry, SyFy channel that cost like a buck fiddynine and yeah, Sharktopus did have some humor value but man, can't anyone come up with a modern exploitation film that actually has some fun and snap and smarts to it?
(Riverworld. OM f'ing God Riverworld. I enjoy Farmer and the books were interesting but holy cats did this 'film' stink up the place. WHY? I guess they feared that opening shot of billions of bald, totally hairless and utterly naked people...)
No. They can't.
I mean, Speed Racer cost a lot of money. It *shouldn't* have. Thing should have been like 2 Mil, tops, to make. But Hollywood won't take you seriously if your movie doesn't budget out at $100 Mil or better. Yikes.
