John Scalzi on vanity projects in the movie biz

"It's so bad that if you haven't seen it, you literally can't imagine it's as bad as everyone says, because how on Earth could a movie that bad get made? And then you watch it and you realize it's actually worse. And then you start laughing, because the alternative is to implode into madness." - http://ping.fm/kqhR0

Oh man, I saw that movie at the sneak preview. I have never, ever seen an audience so pissed off, even at the premier of Phantom Menace. It's... it's beyond horrible. I need to watch it again (but only if I can find some way to watch it without having to pay for it) just to remind myself of how truly awful movies can be so I'll enjoy every other movie that much more.

I'm with Salter on this one... especially as we saw the movie together, and I remember all of us hating it to the extreme.
