Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies

[Neil]

Yes, our film making friends... *die Asylum die* over at The Asylum... *die Asylum die* who know no (lower) limits... *die Asylum die* have done it again... http://www.theasylum.cc/product.php?id=202 This is obviously to cash in on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter... Surely we can send in the special forces to take these morons out!?

I would be distraught if it weren't for the fact that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter seems like a shitty film to begin with.

[Knighty]

Christ almighty I'd love to be an extra in these films they must keep people employed for most of the year with the amount they push out.

[EvilNed]

Maybe this will make you distraught enough then? First off, the "Princess of Mars" film was released like two years ago, wasn't it? Whereas John Carter was released only a few months ago. Second off, these are just a low budget, microcosm of Hollywood itself. So why even care? Hollywood is constantly ripping itself off.

It's funny, though, as much as you my dislike them, Neil...I have a sort of odd respect for them from an entrepreneurial standpoint. I know I've mentioned it before, but I really enjoyed seeing an interview with one of the founders a year or three back. You know, as of the last time I read up on them, they'd never lost money on a picture.

What they are, are a waste of space! Can you imagine what those resources could actually achieve if they weren't being squandered on this sort of $hit? I'd definetly agree with you, if it weren't for the fact that stuff like Green Lantern costs like 250 million dollars.

And if they have, let me guess it was not one of their stupid rip off jobs! -- -------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ---------- I'd definetly agree with you, if it weren't for the fact that stuff like Green Lantern costs like 250 million dollars. I don't care how much something costs. It's how watchable/enjoyable it is... I've not seen a single "The Asylum" production that I haven't rolled my eyes at.

Or at least that you could think of better ways to spend the budget off Asylum productions? I did the same, but with higher budget stuff that's just as bad.

I thought the Green Lantern was OK. It obviously could have been better, but none-the-less it was well produced but let down by a slightly clunky story/script!? It certainly wasn't bad/dumb enough to try and make you shove a pencil 5 inches up your left nostril like The Asylum. IMDB 1.7 IMDB 3.3 IMDB 2.9 IMDB 1.8 IMDB 2.1 HACKS!

Maybe, maybe not. I personally thought it was shit. But as far as the money / quality movie ratio, I think Green Lantern loses hands down. If spending money on an Asylum film isn't justifyable, then neither is spending it on stuff like Green Lantern.

If spending money on an Asylum film isn't justifyable, then neither is spending it on stuff like Green Lantern. Fair enough. I know I'd happily watch the Green Lantern again. But I suspect I'd have trouble facing even just 10 minute of anything from The Asylum as it would nothing but utterly non-enjoyble lazy pap! IMDB 6.0 IMDB 1.7

[AcesandEights]

Have they made a single good film? Completely subjective. I can say they make money, so they obviously fulfill a purpose for some clients. I've never watched more than 15 minutes of the two films of theirs I attempted to watch, but that doesn't mean I don't find what they do and its success fascinating. Also, Ned is right...I couldn't sit through more than 15 minutes of Green Lantern either.

You guys are all completely missing the point. The real question here is, why Abraham Lincoln? I realize this is just cashing in on the other Abe movie, but why not George Washington? James Madison? Hell, why not "Bill Clinton & His Cigar vs. Fat Ugly Intern Zombies"?? I just don't understand the obsession of Abraham Lincoln. Screw that weird, tall, stove-pipe-hat-wearing bearded guy. What did he ever do for me?!
