    Oh, who's making these horrible movies

    that they show on the big movie screens?

    They chase and they crash and they dumb it
    D
    G

    all up and I sit and I watch the credits.
    Em
    C
    D

    I watch to see who played that part so badly.
    Em
    C
    D

    I wonder why I can't be a movie star too.
    Em

    I sometimes audition for
    C
    D

    a low -budget equity waiver.
    Em
    C

    I just want a chance to prove
    D

    that I can suck too.
    G

    Oh, who's making these horrible movies that

    they show on the big movie screens?

    They charge more and more but they give us
    D
    G

    less and I sit with my date and I suffer.
    Em

    Why must I watch

    Battlefield

    Hey there!

    Interior, movie studio,
    C
    G

    big important meeting with big important people.
    C

    We just optioned this original adaptation, totally in dependent,
    D
    G
    C

    big studio, high concept, low budget art house spec script.
    G

    Brand new, been in development

    for 25 years.

    Working title is

    Kill

    Me

    Now.

    I just read the first draft treatment and
    C
    G

    it's not very good but we can fix it in post.

    It's real

    Gen
    Em

    X and noisy with all that wacky
    D
    G

    surround sound and the

    THX

    Dolby.
    C

    And I must say I see several sequels
    D
    G

    an d at least one or two prequels.
    C

    The dope sheet on this baby got it to green
    G

    light, all the trades smell of bidding war.

    Jump cut to the festivals, okay?

    Two words, cha -ching!
    C
    D

    Our best boy wrote this script!
    G

    He's a 20 -year -old former key grip, and

    he used to work on the castings now,
    D
    G

    so he's got ancillary rights,
    C

    and he wants contingent compensation on the back end.
    G

    Wink!

    Picture this.

    Extreme close -up of some famous

    actor ad -libbing.

    We shoot a guerrilla,

    handheld, cinema verite.
    Em
    D
    G

    No protagonist, no antagonist,

    no character arcs,
    D

    no plot, no subplots, no
    G

    B -story, no denouement!

    Just avant -garde montages of a beautiful,

    emaciated, 16 -year -old supporting cast.

    We fire off a few squibs in the

    car chase scenes.

    Did somebody say

    McDonald's, okay?

    We split the merchandising

    with a fast food joint
    D

    and they pass off our crappy worthless
    G

    toys for 99 cents with each combo.
    D
    G

    Plus, we get to advertise for free on the soda
    C

    cups, which brings us to the love scene.
    G

    We hire a great pair of

    boobs for the body doubles,
    C
    G

    stand above on the bed, shoot at all

    POV and

    OTS and stop -motion steadicam.

    When we sell a foreign distribution,

    we can dump everything on a

    D1,
    C

    dub it in
    G

    German, make it

    Letterboxd and add subtitles

    and hock a
    C
    G

    DVD of the frickin' director's gun.

    The cast is willing to work for scale
    C
    G

    because we pitched it as an

    Oscar contender

    and most of them are stupid,
    D

    desperate has -beens anyway.
    G

    The director's willing to work for deferred compensation,
    D

    but I don't think we need a director on this one.
    G

    It pretty much directs itself.

    We'll just send a

    PA up to
    D
    G

    Canada to shoot the principal

    photography on a

    Sony
    D

    Digicam.
    G
    D
    G

    Oh, I've got an idea for a movie.
    C
    D
    G

    All it needs is a bankable cast.
    D

    It'll open up

    Labor

    Day weekend,
    G

    and we'll sit and cuckold on the glass.

    We can save money on sound, too.

    Make it a silent film,

    pretend we did it on purpose.

    Who cares?

    Let's go black and white.

    Shoot the fight

    scenes in claymation.

    It doesn't matter.

    We can do post -production in a slave

    labor camp on a video toaster in

    Taiwan.

    What the hell?

    Well, the
    C
    D
    G

    MPAA wants to give us an

    NC -17, which is the kiss of frickin'

    death.
    D

    They'll only give us the
    G

    R if we cut out some of the decapitations.
    C
    G

    I say we storyboard the trailer.

    Shoot it before we make the film.

    See how it plays in a test market.
    D
    G

    Make it kind of

    MTV.

    Think

    Dawson's
    D
    G

    Creek, real young and anamorphic.

    No old people.

    Slap the clapstick.
    D
    G

    Soft light the depth of field.

    Put some nose grease on the diopter.

    Sink it.
    D

    Rack focus.
    G

    Splice the iris.

    Hire a gaffer.

    Orange stick most of the

    MOS.

    Sprocket a blue filter.

    Tinker with the f -stop.

    Rotoscope the wet gates.
    C
    D

    Bootleg a word print.
    G

    And most important,
    C
    D
    G

    kiss the studio's ass and hope they like it.

    Go by the bull legs, load the mags, pan and scan, sweeten the daily,
    C

    sandbag the licensing, and get this baby in the can!
    G

    We'll get

    Elton

    John to barf out the soundtrack,
    C
    D
    G

    package everything prorated, and most important,

    KISS

    THE

    STUDIO'S

    ASS
    D

    AND

    PRAY

    THEY

    LIKE

    IT!

    If it sucks, we cut our throats,

    call it a life, and it goes direct to video.

    No big deal!
    G

    Aw, who's making these horrible movies that
    D
    G

    they show on the big movie screens?
    D
    G

    They chase and they crash and they dumb it
    D
    G

    all up, and I sit and I watch the critics.
    Em
    C
    D

    I watch this evil play that parts so badly.
    Em
    C
    D

    I wonder why it can't be a movie star too.

    G

    Oh, who's making these horrible movies
    C
    D
    G

    That they show in the big movie screens?

    They should do us a favor

    and blow up their brains
    C
    D
    G

    In the back of their big limousines
    C
    D
    G

    In the back of their big limousines

    In the back of their big limousines

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
