It’s a sad state of affairs when someone pays $10.50 for a ticket to see something like “Superhero Movie,” and an even sadder one when Comedy Central pays $2.7mm for the TV rights to the same movie. It’s so sad, it makes little children cry. Why do you hate little children, Comedy Central?
“Superhero Movie” is blasting its way onto Comedy Central, which has agreed to pay the Weinstein Co. $2.7 million for cable rights to the picture as part of a deal that also includes pre-buys of two unreleased titles: “Fanboys” and “The Promotion.”

Just great. Endless showings of Superhero Movie until the end of time. Every damn weekend. Every damn holiday. This thing will be on Comedy Central so often you’ll think it’s the worst idea for a new channel ever.

The deal also included Fanboys? Hmmmmm… That’s the Star Wars centered film that the studio recently had reshoots of. Supposedly it was to make it more mainstream and less of the love letter to Star Wars fans from Star Wars fans it was intended as. Now that makes me more sad than a crappy superhero spoof.
