Popular Post bigbamboo Posted June 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2014 Maybe the budget didn't run to a comedy sounds effects machine. That would be a big mistake. How else are the audience suppose to know when to laugh? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Oryx816 Posted June 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2014 Aww.....this is all about face.... It was a slap in the face when the movie bombed--it just all blew up in his face. He couldn't face his backers so he finally decided to face the music, and disappear off the face of the earth. He was going to cut off his nose to spite his face, but alas he was unable to let his face hit the pavement below. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVGerry Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Ahh a 'relative' persuaded him to join the venture. A fool and his money are soon parted... Face is a wonderful thing. Just a naive man being conned by a 'relative' into some quick rich scheme. 30 million budget? I wonder what the real budget is, before being pocketed by the people involved.

A relative cons someone into believing they can make a movie. He must have an ego the size of Mars to fall for a con like that. Sorry but if you hire a bunch of people who have some experience in movies previously they can't make a movie that bad. It made only 30k? Family viewers would have paid more than rhat, or is this possibly the worst movie ever made. By Thai standards this really must be a rubbish movie.

Popular Post NeverSure Posted June 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2014 A sad thing is that so many times when someone fails, he never tries again, Yet failure can be a great education if a person is reflective. Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "Disney "lacked imagination and had no good ideas." Several of his ventures failed until he produced "Snow White" and of course others and then developed Disneyland. Steven Spielberg was rejected by the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts multiple times.but went on to produce the blockbuster "Jaws" and many others. Soichiro Honda's unique vision got him ostracized by the Japanese business community. but he went on to revolutionize the Japanese auto industry. There are a lot more.

He went to the same school of economics as the meatheads that dreamt up the rice pledging scam (ah I mean scheme). Pay much more than you expect to earn.

CNXBKKMAN Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I don't think there is any con going on here. Invest in a movie and it becomes a big hit you make a nice profit. When they set out to make the movie I doubt they said " let's make a crap movie and keep ourselves busy for a few months" . Everyone would have been dreaming of the profit to be made. It could happen to top directors/ studios in Hollywood and does all the time. The real movie to be made here is about a producer involved in a crap thai movie who losses everything and try's to kill himself.... Low budget indie movie because 95% of the population can't handle a serious movie with adult themes and no whizz bang soundtrack running in the background. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeLing Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Now I never saw that movie but sure, it can't be as terrible as some of the headlines or articles I read lately. After a recent comedy totally bombed with audiences Suppose CoconutsBangkok and many other English "farang media" can't either afford or are not educated enough to use the oxford dictionary and have to resolve to English street slang. Now according to the "Urban Dictionary", words related to "bombed' Include:bomb - bombs - bombing - terrorist awesome - cool - amazing - sweet - sexy - hotshit - sick - sex - drunk - wasted - hammered - dope - weed After a long time, the 46-year-old film executive changed his mind and proceeded to experience some sort of breakdown Changed his mind about what? Become journalist or editor of one of the "Farang News" It's pretty bombed, not more moderators, journalists or editors change their mind andproceeded to experience some sort of suicide. Wish everyone a bombing day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 After a recent comedy totally bombed with audiences, the film’s inexperienced producer nearly killed himself early this morning..... Now that would have made a fantastic movie idea, about a producer who want to kill him self because his movie bombed out, I'm sure he'd be making money on that plot....
