I want to know what movies you would never see, even if tied to a chair.

One upcoming movie comes to mind...'Deck the Halls'.

I think an academic study could be done to examine what I call 'Quick Paycheck Syndrome' (QPS), whereby actors seek out horrible movies for the sole purpose of collecting easy money. The "holiday rivalry" movie is one of the most prominent sources of QPS. For further verificiation, see 'Christmas with the Kranks' and/or 'Surviving Christmas'.

I've said it for years...if only 10% of movie scripts get green lit, and THESE movies are a part of that 10%, then what the hell is NOT getting made? What exactly is being pitched that's worse than these movies..."Yeah, so, my movie is about a golden retriever that runs for President of the United States, but the night before the election he travels through time to 17th century Europe and leads the dog population in a revolt against the humans, and it's called 'Generation Rex"...what do you think?"
