Jesus Christ, America, you really like watching people torture other people and then air that torture in a movie. Like, really enjoy it.
The Saw franchise has been inexplicably popular for years. Why? Do people reallly like watching other people die? If so, let’s freaking bring back gladiatorial events. Let’s fill stadiums with people in pig masks and devise ways to kill them slowly. It can be done, people. We have Glenn Beck rallies, and that’s basically the closest thing. We need more death. More killing.
Saw 3D opened over the weekend to supplement the Halloween holiday, and the franchise used to storm over the box office like a herd of deranged turtles. Until they made six other movies that were pretty weak. So they put the last in 3D, released it to a waiting audience, and watched as it raked in untold millions. Or 24.2. So worldwide, the Saw franchise has made over 700 million dollars. Over 700 million dollars. To watch people torture each other.
I don’t get it, but good for Lionsgate. They’ve been able to transform themselves from a tiny studio that did American Psycho to a conglomerate, pumping out franchises like Saw. And Madea movies.
You sick, sick puppies.
