Spike movie straight to DVD?
http://www.eonline.com/Insider/Boards/ann.jspa?annID=12
I think it's weird that they won't show it on TV first. |

Unless someone can supply a reason why going straight to DVD would be better?

Or maybe no advertisers want to pay their asking price to air it, so going straight to DVD gives them a bigger profit. |

I remember when I meant Clare Kramer/Glory, she told me the same exact thing. Said "the lastest was a Spike movie". That she talk to James a week ago, and he said that he was all up for it. I went to a comic convention in New Jersey, about month ago. That's where I meant her. But its weird that this movie is going to dvd then Tv. It would be smart to put it on Tv and then put on dvd. Wouldn't you make more money like that?

And personally, I'd like to think that James Marsters had better opportunities out there than this, and that enough was enough. I don't need anymore, thank you. I almost gagged on the last bit of Buffyverse I ate.

But Mulan 2 is animated. More expensive live action and without the pull of Disney kids stuff.

But that does make sense, I guess, you can count on kids wanting to see these movies no matter the quality because they're familiar. Do you think that's what ME/FOX is counting on? ETA: Where does Disney come into this, other than having the market cornered on straight to DVD sequels?

ETA: Morrigan, I was just using Disney as an example of a major corporation who saw straight to DVD as a viable marketing strategy/outlet.

Speaking from experience as a former video store employee, usually when a movie goes straight to video or DVD, that usually means its not very good.

That way he's in a no lose situation. If the movie doesn't sell well he can say that there wasn't enough money behind the making of it and if it does, he can boast of what he could do with more money and power. And TV execs generally being idiots and the people he hangs around with, one of them will believe him and give him what he wants. Really you have to admire a man who's managed to parlay his limited creative skills together with an as yet unmatched or unchallenged mastery of spin doctoring into the career he's had. He has completely bullfeathered everyone who has the power to hurt his career into thinking he's so much than he really is and that nothing is ever his fault. |

Thanks Skippy, CB and A_T, I guess I can kind of see the logic in a move like this but I have to say, right or wrong, it totally reeks of being a bad B-flick move.
