Re: Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies

Welcome to the entertaining world of Mockbusters. There's a company called The Asylum that specializes entirely in making incredibly shitty movies with titles close enough to actual popular movies that people pick them up by mistake, thinking they're getting the other one. This is actually their business plan.

Includes such gems as:
Snakes on a Train
Transmorphers: Fall of Man
The Da Vinci Treasure
AVH: Alien vs. Hunter
The Day the Earth Stopped

There's a full list on their wiki page including which movies they're ripping off.

I think I once accidentally pirated a movie made by them instead of what I actually wanted to watch.

[TD1]

Haha, screw you system! I got this movie for...

Oh.

[My Name is Immaterial]

One reviewer called Alantic Rim "the ultimate monster movie about booze-hounding broskis in battle bots saving New York City from a crazy-eyed giant sea beast that frequently appears to be merely a lost animal, confused and irritated that these metal men won't stop hitting it."

I want to watch it now.

In other words, they're doing what the porn industry has done for years.

Non-plot without porn?

As do I.

Well, ain't this a great fucking Saturday.

Assigned to pick up a load 60 miles away in the opposite direction of my route. That's an extra 2.5 hours in transit time tacked on to my day. Then I arrive, discover that the load is not ready. Wait on hold for ten minutes, dispatcher tells me to sit and wait rather than just have me bring the empty trailer along to the trading point. Experience tells me that I will be here at least another hour, probably two unless they are having a slow day. No idling allowed on the property either, so thank fuck it is windy and somewhat cool today. And now I find out that my return load must be delivered rather than be brought back to the company yard, so that's another 30-45 minutes of work later tonight. I will be lucky to log out of work by midnight.

[Loud Whispers]

FUCK YEAH SIRUS
My apologies, but I was under the impression that it was sunday today.
Fuck you monday I got one more day!

There's a similar company that does low-budget knockoffs of popular kids movies. My ex mother in law accidentally got Wings instead of Planes for my son. It was some shitty Russian made derivative with Hollywood C-listers doing voice acting. Animation was shitty too, though it was kinda cool from an aviation buff standpoint since all the characters were Soviet designs (main character was a MiG-29, the old fogey characters were a Sturmovik and a Peshka...)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Planes pretty bad anyway?

That's what I heard, never saw it. Still, its getting 6.7 or so on IMDB, Wings only got 3.4 or so. Even my son got bored with it after about an hour. And he'll watch damn near anything.

Dear Correlation Coefficents,

Spoiler: Fuck you (click to show/hide)

FUCK YOU

Signed,
A very frustrated statistics student.

[Frumple]

... you realize they have calculators for that, right? Would that not help?

[My Name is Immaterial]

I did one by hand so I knew how to do it by hand. Matter of principle and all that.
That was the first rage.

Now my calculator is giving me a negative in a radical.
