Do Movie Studios Think Texans Are Stupid?

As pointed out in the comments by Mooshki, Jessica Simpson's new film will be released in 8 theaters in Texas on December 21st. Ummm. Am I missing something here? Yes, Jessica Simpson was born in Texas, and still has family in Texas. Her dad "preached" in Texas and Jessica is currently hexing the Dallas Cowboys.

So, did some movie studio guy say, "hey, let's throw that piece of crap of movie down there in Texas and maybe some stupid people will wander in thinking it's that Madonna film, or when everything else is sold out they will come on in. Hell isn't that Luke Wilson kid from Texas also? Hell, everyone will want to see it."

So people in Texas will support Jessica Simpson by spending their hard earned money on a piece of crap film because she comes to Texas for the holidays? People will just walk up top the box office and say, "Hi, I know I am a dumb ass idiot, but we need to show Jessica our support and throw a few bucks into her daddy's pocket because she comes to Texas for Thanksgiving." Plus she's dating Tony Romo. I know she is the worst luck that has ever happened to a team, but maybe if we spend some money on the film, she will go back to Los Angeles and leave Tony alone."

What you have here is someone with a clause in their contract (Jessica) who gets a theatrical release. That way they can say it wasn't straight to DVD, and not have to lower their price for Jessica's "acting" services. Meanwhile, Pimpa does the whole Eva Longoria/Tony Parker thing with Jessica/Tony to get people in Texas willing to support Jessica. Of course he didn't plan on Tony having the worst game of his career with Jessica in the stands. Hopefully Jessica took care of him under the stands with Pimpa "making sure no one comes."

Anyway, here come the Razzies. They don't even need to nominate anyone else. They can even create awards out of thin air and just keep calling out Jessica Simpson's name.
