You Make My Day Makes My Day

A tipster (thanks, Brad) sent us this amazing video, with the following message:

My mom sent me this. She knows the producer and said it cost 25 million dollars to make.

Please just keep that figure, 25 million dollars, in your head for the whole time that you watch this.

But WAIT, it only gets better. As mentioned in the video, You Make My Day is FEATURE FILM for which this is just a PREVIEW! Aye-aye-aye. The official website for You Make My Day: The Movie describe the film thusly:

An Epic Musical Romantic Adventure set in a mystical island kingdom where horses reign and birds keep watch.

Yup. Yes. I would say that sums it up perfectly. The Epic Musical Romantic Adventure, whatever that means, is the vanity project of "Emmy Award Winning Composer Michael J. Lewis." What Emmy did he win? Most Obviously Wants To Fuck A Beautiful Horse? This is absolute madness. But WAIT, the website has even more videos, which I have posted after the jump. You take the blue pill ignore the jump, the story ends, you wake up in your bed, and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill follow the jump, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you just how deep the rabbit Make My Day hole goes.

Hello, brain hospital? We're going to need all of the ambulances please. I'm afraid everyone's mind is blown.

LET'S DRIVE THAT THING INTO THE OCEAN!

Ladies, I offer you The Room but for animals. Usually I am joking when I say this, but this time I am serious: you're welcome.

Forget full-length anything. That trailer was easily one of the best things I have seen this year. This is obviously going to be a masterpiece.

I just pulled out my movie producing software...

And did a line producing breakdown.

And factoring in union rates in the 310 area, this shoot and post should've cost (anyone have a good figure for a per diem on a "family values consultant"?) about 218k.

So obviously the music cost... TWENTY FOUR MILLION AND CHANGE!

From his imdb bio:
"trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London where he studied harmony, counterpoint and composition."

Why doesn't he know a thing about harmony, counterpoint, or composition?

Did any of you guys ever babysit kids who were homeschooled? And they were allowed to stay up and watch something on VHS as a special treat? Because I'm getting flashbacks to that. OF COURSE this thing had a "Family Values Consultant."

To be fair, teaching all those animals to sing probably cost a good portion of that 25 million. You gotta pay for good singing coaches these days.

The Life of the Mind

This is the first time a videogum post has rendered me incapable of speaking coherent words. I literally stared at the screen after watching the trailer for a good 15-20 seconds going "a-buh-a-buh-a-buh...."

Who the hell hears the idea for that and says, "THAT'S FANTASTIC. HERE, TAKE ALL THE MONEY YOU WANT. I CLEARLY WON'T BE NEEDING IT IN THIS SHAKY ECONOMY." I think Barack Obama is going about this broken economy thing the wrong way. Clearly all he needs to do is go around asking money to create a huge fantasy animal musical romance and then use it to stabilize the banks and provide everyone with health care.

Problem solved.

I'd love to see the pitch meeting. "I got the idea for the story when I was playing with my stuffed toys at my mom's house...the other night. It's The Lion King meets Scientology...in REAL LIFE. And it's all done by MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" (throws hands in the air, does a little jump, dances excitedly in place for the remainder of the pitch meeting).

a close friend of mine worked on this, and i assure you, it is completely real. they've spent a lot of money on it, but that $25 million figure is wrong - i'm pretty sure that's the budget they WANT to make the whole movie. think closer to the 100K range, which is still a baffling amount of money to spend on this...whatever this is. i'm still amazed that this made it here.
