That thought entered my mind last night whilst laughing through the new Texas chainsaw massacre which featured a nonsensical/ nonexistent plot, embarrassing half assed incorporation of modern themes (school shootings, social media obsession, gentrification), physics that seem to take place in another dimension, and apparently everyone had dementia because for instance one minute a character is being smashed through the floorboards with a hammer then they’re able to walk and talk fine - however it wasn’t quite gratuitous enough for it to work as satire
Does nobody at any point grab a megaphone and have an intervention about what utter dogshit they’re making?
Is there a silent acknowledgment that they’re working on a steaming turd but nobody wants to risk saying anything?
Or is it difficult to tell just how bad a film will be whilst working on it? They must know by the premise of some movies that it’s got no chance.
I’d be embarrassed to have my name appear in the credits of a film like this
