Sketch group explores how studio executives may have reacted to famous movie pitches
The Tumblr round-up is a compilation of images, links, posters, stories, videos and so on, taken from the Sound On Sight Tumblr account. We simply do not have the man power nor time to write articles on every interesting movie related goody we find, so this is our way of still promoting some of the stuff we love. If you have any interesting items that you think we should plug, please email us at admin@soundonsight.org

Rejected Pitches is a recurring comedic segment from Above Average Productions that imagines what short-sighted movie executives thought of now-famous movies. Their latest features Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands torn apart by the executives, who’d much rather hear the tale of Anthony Michael Hall’s Jim, while another video sees the executives take issue with Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane and the fact that there’s a sled involved. You can see all the Rejected Pitches in one playlist here.

There was once a time when I thought Scarface was the best movie ever made, and Home Improvement was appointment television for me. While I still have a soft spot for both, those days of naivete are long behind me, as I’ve subsequently managed to broaden my horizons. Ambition is the most important part of a movie for me; if it tries to do something unique, tell a well-worn story in a different way, or take on large themes in a honest manner, I can forgive many flaws. If there’s one movie fact I’ve learnt after all these years, it’s that Employee of The Month is to Office Space what fast food is to fresh fruit.
