Film Red State

[His Name Is Frank]

Plot: Three teenagers come across an online personal advertisement from an older woman looking for kinky group sex. But what begins as a fantasy takes a dark turn as they come face-to-face with a terrifying fundamentalist force with a fatal agenda.

Kevin Smith's self-promoting this all the way, complete with touring the nation. Whether or not he's lost his mind, I admire him for trying to break away from the norm of selling your film to a studio and having them whore it out. I hope he succeeds.

erm... he's doing that because no studio was picking it up. apparently it's crap.

also, i've read that he's doing one more comedy and then retiring.

Oh come on, lefty. You know as well as I do that there is no such thing as a movie that is so bad no studio will buy it. If there is a name director attached to it, it will sell. Look at all of the bullshit that has come out in the past 10 years alone. Sounds like you're actually trying to imply that movie studios have standards. Watch Date Movie or The Last Airbender and tell me they do.

i tried, i really did. i sat through the typical teenager crapedy. i sat through that well acted but extremely long and drawn out preacher speech. guns began firing and i cut it off 30 minutes from the end.

trash

^ But you missed the worst part! The way the whole situation resolves itself is so stupid I couldn't believe it.
