    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.

      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.
