And Repo totally stole the “Repo Army” term from the “Hatchet Army”. I wouldn’t want to join either though — I wonder if they wear camoflauge? What are their duties? Do they disband once the film has been released? Hmmmm…

And when you try to point stuff like this out the horror community calls you an idiot and responds with “well it looks cool.” What about Hatchet another great example.

Damn, I guess it’s a good thing I haven’t seen the movie.

Both of you are excommunicated from the Repo Army.

Like you said, Saw 2 and 3 were just jobs. There was no real doubt that those two films would be profitable. Though, when you largely finance your own movie you have to do all you can to get it seen. I can’t blame Bousman for these tactics. It was a labor of love, of course he’d want it to be seen.

How dare people try to advertise their movies so they can be seen!
