Are you Superbad?

One of the big movies hits this summer has to be the movie Superbad. It's a fun loving story about three high school seniors enjoying their last few days at school. In it's 10 days in theaters Superbad has raked in 68.6 million, which also helped contribute to the highest overall summer ticket sales ever. This total is estimated to be over $4 billion dollars, a first for any summer movie season.
Such a money maker of a movie was written by two friends, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Either these two gentlemen are comic masterminds, or they probably wrote about something they know or have experienced; I like to believe it was the latter of the two. This leaves me to wonder why more people don't write scripts about life experiences. Have you ever been watching a movie and wonder how the hell it ever was given a green light to be made. Sitting there bored out of your mind, thinking you could make something better. I say we should all try to write down a little of life's experiences and sell them to a studio. Even if it doesn't get picked up, you still helped contribute to making something meaningful to the movie industry. If it does get picked up you might help keep lame boring films like "Life Aquatic" out of theaters, and you might make a little cash in the process. Your odds would probably be better then winning the lottery too.

  2. I have never seen the movie yet. So I cannot comment on your arguement. But I can see your idea on the "wisdom of crowds". Quick thought and good application.
