Has James seen Obsession?

The movie's done pretty well so far. Grossed $333.3 million dollars worldwide ($215.8 million of that in the U.S. and Canada) against its $750,000 budget. Curry Barker right now getting a lot of acclaim and attention, big studio movie offers, all that good stuff.

His next movie, another horror film set in the same universe as Obsession, is in post production, and he's doing a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

That was James' whole dream he was never able to achieve. Do you think if James had seen the movie and all the success Curry is getting, it would make him even more sad and depressed than he's been all these years since the Nerd Movie bombed?

Curry Baker and Kane Parsons

Two new examples of what James could've achieved had he been a more competent filmmaker.

Obsession cost $750,000 to $1 million to make, and has already grossed $41.1 million dollars. Backrooms isn't out yet, but it's getting lots of buzz, and it had a budget of about $10 million dollars. I think it's gonna have a big opening weekend.

Obsession was filmed in Los Angeles ("because that's where movies are made"). Backrooms shot in Vancouver.

Both filmmakers have certainly already been approached by the big studios who wanna be in business with 'em. It's everything James hoped for himself, but it just didn't happen. It's really a sad story. What do you guys think?

Second Deleted Bum Scene

If you've seen the deleted scenes, you know there was one with two bums played by Murray and Aykroyd. They were meant to show up again in another scene at the end of the movie after the Ghostbusters defeated the Marshmallow Man. I don't know if this was filmed. It wasn't part of the deleted scenes on the old DVD or the Blu Ray.
