Current Events > Scenario: Your son makes a super successful Hollywood movie but you hate it

(+) Yeah! (+)

The movie is written/directed and produced by your son and he's been working on it for years. It's his baby.

It's an intense dark action thriller about an everyday schlub ambulance driver who one day picks up what he thought was the ODed corpse of a Jane Doe drug addict in rags but then discovers she's not actually dead yet and while still driving has to stabalize her when he realizes she's actually the presidents daughter who was dressed up as dirty hobo and pumped with drugs as an assassination attempt by her own father because she knew too much!

Then without stopping the ambulance he gets unwittingly dragged into a giant global life and death conspiracy or corrupt politicians, diplomats, sex, murder, strings of duplicitous schemes and cruel machinations that ultimately results in him saving the world and getting the girl.

It's gotten rave reviews and looks like it's going to meet it's production costs by its opening weekend alone.

But when you see it, you can't believe how bad it is. You think it's boring, dumb, doesn't make any sense, poorly directed, awful dialogue, odd pacing, atrocious casting, terrible camera work and sets, dull bland colors, really odd subtexts and poorly thought out social commentary. In fact you think it's one of the worst movies you've ever seen. Battlefield Earth at least had entertainment value, A Bug's Life was colorful. The Room was full of passion...This had... nothing... You hate it.

After the audience give your son a rousing round of applause leaving you feeling like a reverse Citizen Kane when the credits roll he sneaks off from the crowd, approaches you excitedly and says "Well they all seem to like it but honestly I don't really care about that. What did you think?



"Truth is I never made this for them or for the money. I don't really care about that. I made it for you, yours is the only opinon I care about. After mom died, I just wanted to create something that would make you proud."

How do you react?
What do you do?
