Stupid Contrived Survival Stories

[u/MammothPenguin69]

1. 12 Feet Deep - Two idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST go swimming in a pool after it's closed. An incredibly contrived sequence of events happens so they get stuck in a pool. So the movie can happen.

2. Frozen (not that one) - Three idiots decide they absolutely positively MUST get on a ski-lift after it's closed. To the point of bribing the operator who for some stupid reason doesn't say anything. Do the movie can happen. Also, Wolves are not that aggressive. They are typically shy and avoid humans.

3. 47 Meters Down- Arguably the most believable scenario on this list. It's still really stupid.

4. Fall- Two idiots decide to climb an abandoned radio tower without proper equipment that would make escaping their predicament trivially easy. Stop me if you've heard this one before

so the movie can happen.

“From the producers of Obsession”

Funniest shit ever

[u/Fen_ → u/UnnecessaryFeIIa]

If any movie just advertises "From the producers of ___" instead of "From the creators/directors/writers of ___", you know it's going to be absolute dogshit. The question is if it's the fun kind of dogshit or just the kind that shouldn't exist.

How so?

Producers don't actually put creative work into a movie. They handle the money and distribution. If the best thing a movie has to say about the people behind it is that the investors are the same as the investors from another movie it's probably bad. Also when producers do take a more active role in the creative process it's almost always bad. Producers want the movie to have the widest possible audience and are likely to strip key elements of the story to appeal to people outside of the movie's key demographic
