I also think the Onion wanted to drop it completely, and it was shelved for something like five years because of it.Devinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121208175235265783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-572215854135928109.post-2712054646322095682009-11-14T04:11:00.021-08:002009-11-14T04:11:00.021-08:00That's unfortunate, I never checked out The On...That's unfortunate, I never checked out The Onion Movie because it was always too expensive (and I don't really watch enough movies to rent). Still, you are totally correct when you say that a movie doesn't need budget to be funny. To take Monty Python as a further example, "Holy Grail" was shot on a shoe-string budget, but its ineptitude became an intentional part of its humor. Another movie that did quite all right despite the piss-poor budget: Kentucky Fried Movie, the debut of the once-funny Zuckers. I guess The Onion were just doing what they do, trying to make a buck off fans too devoted to care how good the material is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
