M. Night Shamaylan destroys a beloved franchise.

THE AVENGERS

Five super heroes team up to prove that might does make right.

THOR 2

Norse gods prove they lack sufficient judgement to run even a lemonade stand.

CAPTAIN AMERICA

Two hours to explain how he became a capsicle... No time explaining why he couldn’t bail out before impact.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA

An exercise in removing all essential story elements while keeping a beloved title.

I was actually present when the producer of Flashdance pitched a local Pittsburgh business owner for permission to film there.

“It’s the story of a young girl who works as a welder in your subway system, but who dreams of becoming a Modern Interpretive Dancer”.

Everyone scratched their heads and thought “Who in the heck would ever go and see a movie about THAT?”

Was one of the top grossing films of that year though.

BEING THERE

A simple-minded man who led a sheltered life is inexplicably deemed a genius and is groomed to be President of the United States.

Oh. Wait.
