There are two issues with this approach, the first of which is brought up prophylactically whenever the movie is discussed: it's not a "so bad it's good" movie, it's a "this is as terrible as Jerry Lewis clowning around in a gas chamber with doomed children" movie. The second issue is that the goal, above and beyond making money, is to launch April as a movie star. "so bad it's good" does not do this, particularly when her performance is not standout in any way.

This does not mean that I didn't pitch

"Why don't we just strip out all the audio and edit it like a Frontline Assembly video? Score it with some Merzbow or Chu Ishihara or some shit? Then ADR nothing but like Nietsche quotes and shit on top of it?"

...but it does mean that we didn't pitch the idea to June.
