AMC: Sup, brah. You looked bummed?
HATCHET 2: I'm TOTES bummed. The MPAA said I'm too violent to give me an R rating.
AMC: What?! That's completely absurd!
HATCHET 2: Yeah, it's a real son-of-a-bitch move by them.
AMC: To F with them. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to put you on our screens anyway. After all, we LOVE your older brother Hatchet 1.
HATCHET 2: Oh, word! That's completely rad of you, AMC. Thank you so much! You're the best.
AMC: Sike!
Aaaaaaaaand...scene.
That's basically what happened last week to Adam Green's [director of FROZEN, SPIRAL, and HATCHET] sequel. AMC was cool enough to show an unrated horror movie, then suddenly turned into giant Were-pussies and pulled it because it 'didn't perform'.
AMC clearly about faced because of all the controversy between Green and the outrageous organization that is the MPAA. To say it was because of it's low box office take is insulting and ridiculous. A) what sort of performance were you expecting from a completely unadvertised sequel [to perhaps an even less known original] whose biggest star is Candyman*? And B) if you pull movies because of their poor box office performance, why is Case 39**# still playing at the AMC CityWalk?
Mind bottling side note - HATCHET 1 had problems getting this poster approved:
Final note - HATCHET 2 has this chick in it. Soooo hot. Want to touch the heiny. Aaaawoooo!
*Apologies to Candyman. Please don't gut me with your hook.
**Apologies to Christian Alvart. ANTIBODIES is flippin' awesome.
#Kill yourself, Renee Zellwegger. You're useless and you ruined APPALOOSA.
