It's nice to know that Will Forte thinks it's Bullshit, lol

I've always thought the decision to shelve the movie for a write-off was bullshit, but now knowing Will Forte was in it is freshly aggravating. It sounds like it actually would've been a fun movie.

If studios gets a tax break, taxpayers are paying for the movie.

Release it for free with no copywriter protections for merchandise and suddenly this whole practice goes away.
