Baywatch should not have happened.

One really has to wonder the type of market research that was conducted and ended with the conclusion: the world really needs a Baywatch movie. A movie based on a mediocre TV show from over a decade ago, that nobody ever really cared about in the first place and was one of the most unattractive things put to film about attractive people. People did not tune in to this show each week because of the impressive cinematic feats or the superb acting performances. No. It was for the “beautiful” bods. Nobody really watched Baywatch. It was that thing you would pass by on a hungover Sunday, when you were channel surfing. You would catch a Baywatch episode halfway through and well, it wasn’t in commercial and that slow motion running is so just so damn mesmerizing… f’ it, why not spend an afternoon with The Hoff.
