You know whats f*cking stupid? People who write the blurb on the back of a DVD and dont even get the f*cker right. Case in point: I went to Blockbuster and got a movie called "Buy and Cell" by the creators of Police Academy, and it had Michael Winslow in it (Google it if you dont know, cause for sure you do).
This is the blurb on the back.
"Ambitious, young stockbroker Sandy Burger is on his way up the ladder of success. Suddenly, his life is shattered when his boss, Lou Dauger, has him framed for stock fraud.
In Lewiston Correctional Facility, Sandy immediately angers head guard Palmer, then Warden Broderick Stone, who assails him. Only the chance entrance of Assistant Warden Anne Conners saves Sandy from injury. Sandy sooon after incurs the wrath of his cellmate, Sly Johnson, in addition to the prison's violent inmate, El Coyote. Sly owes Coyote money, and is threatened with his life unless he pays. Sandy offers to get Sly the money by investing in the stock market. To do this, he needs access to a computer, which Wang, another inmate provides.
Sandy establishes a phony corporate account - Con, Inc., - with his old firm and soon has the needed $300. Sandy is quickly everyone's best friend, except Coyote and his thugs.
Sandy invests the inmates' money so successfully that he soon has made enough to buy a shopping mall and a bank.
Meanwhile, Lou becomes suspicious of Con, Inc., and decides to investigate.
Sandy sees that it will be too difficult to maintain Con, Inc., so he devises a way to trick Lou into buying the company for Cash. He must first get the prisoners out of the prison.
The elaborate ruse works, and Lou agrees to pay $10 million. The daring plan is nearly ruined however, when Coyote steals part of the money"
Bare with me here folks, there is a point to this.
First off, who the fuck writes the entire story on the back of the DVD case? If I wanted to know what the hell happens throughout the whole thing, I'll watch it. If I wanted to read what the hell happens, make a goddamn book. (Note: Please stop here if you ever plan to watch this stupid shit of a movie. If you dont, feel free to continue. I'd advise you to continue, the movie isnt worth it)
That however, is not the main reason for this post and the stupidity of the DVD. The stickler for me, besides being told the whole damn story, is that the blurb is wrong.
Wrong.
Wrong.
I'll say it again - wrong. They managed to screw up almost every single name in the movie. The guy sent to jail was Herbert someone, not Sandy. Sly's name is Sly, the Wardens name isn't Broderick Stone, and to top that, he never lays a finger on Herbie, so how the hell does he assail him. The "Assistant Warden" is actually a prison psychologist, and I forget her name, because by this time in the movie I was too busy thinking up things I should be doing instead of watching this movie. As for the evil El Coyote - there is no such person in the movie. In fact, no-one even steals money from Herbert at all. As for our (whom I assume is) asian friend Wang, he doesn't exist either. There's no mention of anyone owing $300 to anyone in the movie, and the prison price is $12 million. As for the shopping mall and bank, there's no mention of them in the movie either.
I'm beginning to wonder who the bigger retard is - the person who wrote the blurb, or me for actually watching the whole movie. |
