[Barny Cusp] A little while back Johnny and I decided that a lot of movies were crap. Crap that should not have been made and certainly that should never have been seen. After our plan to build a time-machine and go back to stop certain nightmares from ever getting made failed we decided on a far less ambitious project. We created the Forbidden Film Project.
[Johnny Cusp] What we do is think up awful premises for films and write them down, usually complete with cast, taglines and other tidbits, and in doing so establish copyright over those ideas. Then we simply do nothing with them except hold onto them in the hope/fear that someone will make the exact same movie. Then we either sue them (or otherwise legalinate) them until they stop. In this manner we hope to spare the viewing public from such atrocities.
[Barny Cusp] It’s like a public service.
[Johnny Cusp] Yeah, or a particularly ill-thought out charity.
[Barny Cusp] So we’ve started this new section off Hardlywood to have a place to store these ideas. Hopefully they can inspire people not to make anything quite this bad. Ever again.
[Johnny Cusp] We’ll be listing off details of our favorites and updating them every week at least. Your comments and suggestions are not only welcome, they’re vital to keeping this project going. Think of the last terrible film you were forced to pay money for and remember that someone is trying to do something about it.
[Barny Cusp] Or has at least started trying recently. Unless the last bad movie you saw was somehow in the future.
[Johnny Cusp] The only real criteria we have for comments is that they’re funny. Or at least not grossly offensive. But mostly that funny thing.
