Flops Month

I've always been fascinated by Hollywood's biggest bombs, so I have to commend the 'Trio' cable channel for dedicating an entire month to them. Any hack churn out a lousy movie on a low budget, but there's something quite poignant about seeing genuinely talented people throw everything they have - and tons of money - into their dream products, only to watch everything come out so horribly wrong.

(Not that bombs always deserve to bomb. Last Action Hero is still one of my favorite Schwarzenegger movies, and I enjoyed Hudson Hawk so much I bought the DVD.)

Sadly, we don't get Trio up here, and I'd really like to see the documentaries they're premiering this month (Delorean, Final Cut and Flops 101. Anyone out there willing or able to tape them for me?
