Bomb. It will BOMB.

What I can’t understand is that these BOMBS are often so obviously BOMBS from the start so why do they bother making them?

I think they are vanity productions; in other words, money-men in high places just hand out production money to keep their friends and favorites employed. They don’t care if it bombs; producers, actors, grips (?) make-up artists etc. etc. get paid, make some money. “Who cares if it bombs? I made a salary for six months thanks to my friend...” I figured this out a long time ago. It’s like that recent film that was pro-gun control. They knew it wouldn’t make its money back, but lots of Hollywood film people got employed to make it. I guess you have to have the right kind of friends.

Someday somebody up top is going to say ‘no more’ but I guess that time has not yet come.
