Tonight I needed some dishwasher soap. We all from time to time need the essentials. So I ran over to Wal-Mart cause well, stuff really is cheaper there and I've come to terms that Wal-Mart will take over the world and, at least I can tell them I've always shopped there. Cause since about 90 I have. I have old credit cards and check card reciepts to prove it.
You can hit the link on the left. (kidding)
Anyway, so in the last year or so they've been selling some horribly cheap DVD's in a "2 for $11" bin. And you rarely find stuff worth buying. I did buy Creepshow in there and I've stumbled on one or two other gems. But mostly I find comedies I've never heard of. And I'm always amazed to find audio commentaries on these. I sometimes consider buying them just to hear them talk.
I mean I've considered doing a commentary for our ill-fated endevour, but I would mostly talk about how NOT to make a movie for $35000. (A book to be released in 2007. trust me.)
I wonder if some of these films... with names I can't even remember that's how obscure they are.... think they're making the next great Amercian comedy. Can you really comment on a film without knowing how good or bad it is?
Course I guess I shouldn't comment on comments without knowing what they are. If I wasn't going to Vega$ in a week I woulda splurged the $5 to find out.
It'd also be kinda funny when people are peeping through your DVD shelf pull it off and go "what is this?"
"It's horrible don't watch it."
Script will be done before I leave. Promise. I'm into the home stretch.
Oh and I've started playing a new Fantasy Movie Game. Plays like the sotck exchange.
Posted by matty at March 10, 2004 12:37 AMYou seem to think that there are tons of movies out there with $35,000 budgets. Sadly, most of those movies you see in those bins have hundreds of thousands of dollars behind them. I have been watching a production company with 10 times that $35,000 budget make the same mistakes. Now what distinguishes you from all of those "bin" movies? You only had $35,000!!! I know you look at Pub as a failure, but to this day it's the best $35,000 dollar movie I have ever seen. Just my two cents...
Posted by: A.J. at March 10, 2004 06:25 AMI think you mis-read me. I know these movies cost these dang people way more that $35,000. They probably paid that much for one day on Dudley Moore's trailer. :)
But more importantly, those bin movies were made for the most part by a studio and never made any moeny weren't popular and for the most part weren't very good.... heance the fact I hadn't heard of them... I mean Last Action Hero was also buried in that bin. The perfect example of a movie I speak of... That movie had a $45 million dollar budget and it blew up.
Now I never said I look at PUB as a failure... the movie is great. But for it ME in terms of what I could, as a producer should and COULD, have done to make the movie better was a failure. But in so far as the mistakes I made... not the movie itself. And to that I could argue forever. :)
OK, I gotcha.... Just making sure you weren't getting down on yourself. Yes mistakes were made, but when you only have 2 people that care if it actually succeeds it makes for a very difficult time. The next time will be easier! I promise! Hmmm.... maybe I should just say that I will try real hard. ;) Promise is a rather binding word. ;)
Posted by: A.J. at March 10, 2004 11:47 AMi would comment on PUB but you know what i think anyway. i also think that you have obscure movies. i would pull most of yours off of the shelf and say "what in the hell is this".
