Ouch. In retrospect, "Falling Sky Entertainment" was a good name choice for the production company.

Isn't this one of those cases when the credits of a movie mention "Alan Smithee"?

spcmnspff• 16 years ago

Ha, you got to that pseudonym before I could.

It could well possibly would have years ago but that name is now no longer a secret known pretty much only in the industry, so slapping it on the credits gives the impression that the movie is not worth watching.

Or Cordwainer Bird?

Why is this at the top of HN?

Because people here thought it was interesting. Is there a better reason?

Or maybe some people have been on projects where someone else butchered their code really badly and appreciate the parallel?

nodata2• 16 years ago

Yes: better would be interesting AND relevant to HN.

These reminders are a good thing.

I wonder is this the kind of statement that will generate a cult following.

That's what they're hoping for. This is definitely part of the promotion for the movie.

In their place; five minutes of a woman dancing in slow motion, a four-minute Dominatrix dance (by the female lead, who, for reasons I cannot comprehend, is constantly snapping a whip and gyrating against other characters in pseudo-sexual positions), and a four minute "Moonwalking" scene (no, this was never intended as a Dance Movie).

Sounds like standard fare for a writer known for (according to IMDB) "Disturbed," "Bikini Island," and "Last Dance" ("Someone is killing off contestants of a skimpy dance off.") His lost thirty-three pages of dialog (which never existed) would have been painful to watch, much more painful than women dancing in slow motion, and he is aware and at peace with this.
