Love your blog and this is really my first comment. While reading that entire schtick I was completely under the impression that this was simply an exercise in pointing how over-the-top ridiculous Hollywood can be. I mean seriously at no point during that entire script did I think to myself, “He is talking about an actual movie”. Then I saw the link and my eyes started gushing blood.

I mean, COME ON!

This would have been a lot funnier to someone if I hadn’t known about this grotesquery already. My father, leader in the bad-taste-ahead-of-time-but-repentant-later Olympics, thinks this will be okay.

Eeep. At least two people had to think this was a good idea. Why is anyone trusting them with money?

See this is why I hate you MGK if you wrote nothing I would have found out later and if I were lucky missed it entirely

This premise is suspiciously like that of “Nacho Libre” – “Overweight American Comedian Makes A Movie About Being Racist About A Minority Using A Sport”.

You should do more of these, man. Compiled, they would make a fantastic bestseller.

I just tried to find the previous Explaining Hollywood posts, and I got to two… but three is missing! (I think this series is big enough now that it’s worth giving them a tag – they’re certainly good enough).

I’m sad that I knew the entire time that it was real, though at the beginning I wondered if Canada had a different title.

The entire time I was reading this, I just kept thinking “there’s no way this is real.” Then you linked it and my world fell apart.

That trailer fell apart in the last 20 seconds. I was going, “Seriously? Okay then.”
