This film pisses me off like you wouldn't believe.
Contrary to what people seem to think, films like Plan 9, Blood Feast, Troll 2 are amazing and fantastic in their horridness because they were honest efforts. The people involved thought, regardless of delusions, that they were making a film that people would enjoy for the visions in their heads, not for the debacle on the screen.
The fact that the people involved were tragic and sad adds to that, created these films and in turn the enjoyment of their car crash elements.
Serverin is taking advantage of Nguyen and his naivety. That, or he is in on the game. Either way it disgusts me and you cannot create a shitty film or a cult classic.
They grow and become what they are on their own.

That said, all the classic of this genre, i.e. the MST3K "mock them cuz they are shit" style films are almost dead and gone in this internet age of immediacy, where fads or the amusement of things like the standing cat last weeks if not days before they are decimated to the world and almost as quickly become old news.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sorry... this films does my head in, it's exploitative in every sense of the word. It exploits the audience, it exploits the film makers, it exploits the whole industry, and perhaps that's a good thing, it shows it for what it is.
I dunno... but I fucking hate it and see it as mocking and offensive to the true greats/failures.

You can't tell me that anyone involved in this film actually believed in what they were doing. They knew they were creating shit and it shows.

I guess the old adage that "their is a sucker born every minute" still holds some weight. Some people would pay to go to the opening of a paper bag.

Backtrack, I totally respect where you're coming from but from my viewpoint this film's development of cult status (hasn't fully reached it yet) has been organic. Tim and Eric have taken this film under their way (in much the same way they took THE ROOM) and have brought it around the country with great enthusiasm. If you watch interviews with Nguyen it is very easy to tell that his intentions were serious but he now realizes that if more people see it because they think it's bad, so be it. I think his outlook is very refreshing actually. I read an interview with him somewhere where he says that as a filmmaker 'you put your work out there for people to watch and critique it'. He's right. Why does the film's validity hinge on how its received?
