They're a company making "mockbuster" films to basically lampoon more successful films they didn't come up with. I swear it's the more active Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Asylum |

I fail to see the point. It's like with parody films and remakes, why pay to see a poorly redone movie when you can watch the great film? |

People might go on Instant Stream and see a movie called "Transmorphers" and think it was Transformers. Or maybe they were dissatisfied with how the big budget versions of some of these films came out, and decided to give it a shot themselves. I'm stunned these people haven't been sued yet. |
