Saw VI didn’t do that well at the box office this year for some reason*. But don’t worry, America, there are going to keep being Saw movies ))><(( for another two years (2012). Why wouldn't there be? From Reuters:
Indie Hollywood studio Lionsgate said on Thursday it was moving ahead with “Saw 7,” which will be in 3-D. [Ed. note: GREAT!]
“As long as we make money on it we’ll keep doing this,” Lionsgate vice chairman Michael Burns said at the Media and Money conference in New York, noting that such franchises tend to have a long shelf life across different platforms.
That makes sense. I mean, it is just smart business. Even if the movies are awful garbage, like literally garbage being placed on the curb of your eyes, we should just keep making them because who gives a faaaaaaaaaart. “What day do they come pick up the garbage from my eyes?” “Uh, I think that garbage is just going to stay there forever. You should at least move it to the back of your head.” “I can still smell it.” That’s a normal conversation. As the old saying goes, if it is broken and the worst but it makes money, why fix it?
Business is so neat!
It would be weird and hyperbolic of me to point out that the thinking behind the continuation of the Saw franchise is not dissimilar from the thinking behind slavery, and the Holocaust. “As long as we can treat human beings as animals, we’ll keep doing this.” “As long as we can keep putting human beings into ovens, we’ll keep doing this.” Gabe! Come on! That is outrageous! True. That was a step(s) too far. And I will apologize, just as soon as we can declare victory in our war of emancipation/liberation from the Saw franchise.
TO YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!
Hmm. We are going to have to work on our theme! I am not PUMPED enough!
OK, well, let’s just table the theme song for now! Let’s not get too wrapped up in the theme song!
*It could have been anything, really. I’m sure that it’s not because they’ve worn this franchise, which was never good to begin with, down to the awful, miserable bone.

They already made Saw 8 with MTV called Jersey Shore.
“Indie Hollywood studio Lionsgate said on Thursday it was moving ahead with “Saw 7,” which will be in 3-D. ”
What is that from? It looks like something I would actually want to watch! Also, isn’t “indie Hollywood studio” a total oxymoron?
I believe it is from this show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tudors
Man, I remember the good ol’ days when the first Saw movie was a benign joke of a movie that you could watch with friends cause if nothing else, it was bringing the comedy (Hellooooo Monica Potter). I know I’m stating the obvious but this is legitimately depressing.
The National should never never ever be associated with The Notebook. I’m putting shame on you, editgirl77. Look at that! Shame all over you!
I keep reading this comment as “The Notebook is great,” which is obviously what you intended, so…all is right with the world.
Ha, yeah, I guess there’s some ambiguity there. Opinions, they be differing!
As Sue Sylvester would say (is quoting Glee a thing yet? I wish Soft Gabe were here….), when I saw The Notebook/National mash-up, I was aroused…then furious.
Arise, you prisoners of starvation!
Arise, you wretched of the earth!
For justice thunders condemnation:
A better world’s in birth!
“As long as we make money on it we’ll keep doing this.” Captain Honesty in Business, over there.
As pumped up as those clips made me about the idea of bringing down the Saw franchise (it doesn’t take much to get me excited about the idea of bringing down the Saw franchise), might I suggest “Champion of My Heart” by Richie Cunning as another possible theme song? Quick! Exercise montage! Let’s do this!
A 3-D version?
I for one know I SAW this coming……I mean, I’d seen this comi……I mean, I knew this would….
(I’ll just show myself out. Third door on the right, by the coatrack?)
thats the bathroom, you want the second on your left
That is pretty much the same business plan as Charleston Chew. Because it’s gross.
I discovered quite by accident that a frozen Charleston Chew pairs excellently with a Spaten Optimator.
This is not a joke.
Saw 3-D! Of course! Now they can LITERALLY poke me in the eye with a rusty screwdriver. Awesome.
Wow if we didn’t need more proof that 2012 was the last year of our lives.
From Moviefone : Entire “Saw” Series in Under 300 Words.
Saw is such a guilty pleasure of mine. They could make them forever, and I would keep attending with friends. I always spend those 90 minutes laughing and cringing. It’s one of the few things I manage not to over analyze and I have no idea why… (I should probably learn to keep to myself in these Saw threads.)
Can you at least claim that you only watch pirated versions of them, so we can all take comfort in the belief that you’re not actually financially supporting the franchise?
I’m actually glad to know that their plan is to make money instead of them thinking they’re making artistic masterpieces.
honestly, i saw all of the Saw movies in the theater (saw-saw! haaa) except this last one (VI). because the one before it (V) didn’t really have a twist. and that’s why people see these movies. twists. and gore. and self-loathing.
So THIS is where the money for ‘Precious’ came from.
I’m almost OK with this.
I did read recently that NeNe from Housewives of Atlanta is looking to break into acting. 7 in 3D could be the perfect vehicle for her! I actually wouldn’t mind if all the girls were in it, with Dwight as Jigsaw
i never thought i’d see the day in which a Bright Eyes song would feature on Videogum. WORLDS COLLIDE Y”ALL.
it’s also hilarious to know that Gabe knows some Bright Eyes. the inner child in me goes hehehhehehehehehhee.
