I can understand the need to make a movie like this.  Everyone might feel creative once in a while and everyone has to let it out.  Some people draw, others dance, yet some others sing.  Making movies is just of those ways to let creativity out.<\/p>\n<p>But promoting a film like this, producing thousands of DVD copies, distributing it around the world &#8211; that&#8217;s just wrong.  Ethics aside, I bet it wasn&#8217;t even commercially feasible.  Gosh, I&#8217;m glad I got it cheap.  Instead of buying a DVD or even watching it in the cinema, I rented it.  And I still have the chance of talking Martin into money back for this crap.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>The problem with me is that I don&#8217;t finish things that I really should to.
