Silent Nut
I try to keep away from C. Nikki Finke as best possible (and I can already hear her fingers typing the unpleasant e-mail about this entry), but I had to laugh (and share) when I looked at her site for the first time in weeks and her primary advertiser was the unrated DVD release of Black X-Mas, a movie that she squealed about regarding its earth-shattering Christmas release, single handedly generating the only promotion the film would ever have.
Not only are there three big ads on her page, but the film is being given away by L.A. Weekly as an event, so if you click on the ads, you get another L.A. Weekly page.
Payback's a Nikki.
Or is this buyback?

That's pretty funny.. I do remember how much she was complaining about the movie.

Classic!! There's a Todd Snider song called "Can't Complain" and the last verse goes "I'm gonna make my last stand/this time I won't be bought/Then again, on the other hand/how much have you got.
I love hypocrites.

Fired up as she was, Nikki obviously didn't give enough of a shit to actually research the fact that Dimension almost always drops a stealth horror flick on or around X-Mas-- Wolf Creek, Dracula 2000, They, Darkness, etc.

And you'd think they'd realise after all of those movies posted disappointing box office.
To think that after they were so successful in marking Bad Santa a few years back... I mean, if they had released Bad Santa on Christmas Day it would have been nowhere near as big as it was. God the Weinsteins are idiots.

None of those movies really needed to gross a lot to be profitable, between theatrical and video. The high grosser of the bunch was Dracula 2000's $33m.
