You may hate me for saying this, but I'm glad Glee 3D flopped. I know some of you love this series, but I think it has gotten fat and greedy like heavy set Veruca Salt.
This movie was proof that it's too big for its britches. They really thought this flick would make tons of money. Although, it was very cheap to make (like 9.6 million give or take), the outcome was very telling. No one was willing to pay for something they normally get to watch for free.
It was bold of the Glee peeps to think this would push the series forward. In many ways, this may be the first few nails in the Glee coffin.
But there are other factors that could be driving 'Glee' to 'Heroes' type grave. For one, it's overexposed. Second, the writing is not that serious and the theme episodes are really reaching for it. And third, it's trying too hard to pander to us (gays). 'Glee' uses the Gay stick, like Michele Bachmann saying the word 'Iowa' 46 times in her pre-victory speech at the Iowa State Fair. Just tell the damn story and we will come. No more Gaga/Britney/Silly ass gay diva icon crap. Just tell a goddamn story.
And this movie was the icing on a hot cake. It just melted all over the whole thing. So I hope Ryan and the other Glee peeps take a hard look at this past weekend. Maybe this will get them back to basics and give us the 'Glee' we all deserve.
