What would happen if somebody made a really, really bad movie and instead of showing it in theaters before selling it on DVD, they just skipped the movie house phase completely and sold it direct to consumers with a blog as a marketing tool? I suppose some people would buy it just to support the experiment, but they would be suckers.
Blowing Smoke totally sucks. It features cliched dialog, wooden acting, a plot that’s so predictable you can see the climax at the first sign of life, feeble man-hating, and a breast count of zero. Joe Bob says save your money.
If you’re inclined to purchase just because you like Jim Treacher’s blog, then cut out the middle-man and give your money to him direct. You’ll add 90 minutes to your life.
(PS: The last five minutes was excellent.)
Sorry to hear you didn’t like the movie. I don’t think the movie is that bad, although disagree with much of the sentiment in it.
Bu one thing I want to defend, it was released it on the blog not because we thought we couldn’t distribute it in other ways, but because we think distribution can be done in another way. All the screenings so far got the audiences raving, hence the experiment with selling it via a blog directly. But there is not argument against taste…
Well, at least you liked the last five minutes. 🙂
Oh, I thought he meant the last 5 minutes of the blog.
The blog is way better than the movie.
I don’t see how anybody could actually like this movie, but there are some positve reviews in the IMDB, probably by shills.
