Movie "I Spit On Your Grave"

[Monkeyleg]

Years ago I rented a movie called "I Spit On Your Grave".  It was about a woman who rents a cabin to get away and do some writing. She's attacked and raped by a gang of locals, and she gets her revenge, killing them all.

It has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. It looked like a really bad student film. I couldn't even finish watching it.

A year or two ago, I saw it listed on Redbox. I looked, and it was a remake. Who would do a remake of that? Why?

Today I looked at Redbox, a company notable for its poor movies, and they're offering "I Spit On Your Grave 3", a sequel to the remake.

Aren't there any talented writers left?

See an earlier thread about girls who beat up (and/or kill) dudes. Dudes like that stuff. Also, I'm assuming there's some hard-R kind of sex/nudity scenes going on. Dudes like that, too.

Also, you might look up the phrase "exploitation film."

^ Writers....

Heh.  I rarely actively watch television, mostly it's on in the background.  But I can follow plots just by an occasional sample of the dialog.

Tonight there was an SF-Fantasy program on and my proofreader's "ear" caught this piece of dialog regarding a huge explosion:

"The entire City was half destroyed."

Have I got a prooflistener's ear, or what?

In Germany the title is slightly different.

A monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time probably wouldn't produce the complete works of William Shakespeare, but he could produce several movie/TV scripts.  They wouldn't even have to contain actual words.

All said monkeys would need type is "copy old script" these days!

Yeah, but they'd still have to rewrite all the old politically incorrect stuff to match up with today's propaganda.

I wish Hollywood would copy the old scripts....TV shows from the '60's & '70's had much better storylines than what we see today.....

....unless it's an episode guest-starring Bert Convey or William Shatner. Those were guaranteed to be dreadful.

Sorry, but that's my queue cue to post this again.  (watch the first 2.5 minutes)  I love the idea that someone would actually do a research study like that. :)

William Shatner did two episodes of Naked City.
"Portrait of a Painter" was a pretty decent episode.  "Without Sword or Stick" was almost as good, though I have to wonder what Shatner thought a Burmese accent sounded like ....

Dammit.  I use "queue" all the time at work, so my fingers type it that way on autopilot.

I still find myself mixing up their, there, and they're from time to time.

I think I'll settle on thare for all three.  So thare.  Nyah.
