Welcome, Suckers.

And so it was…

Hey, Director! is thus born by a small group of recent college grads, divided by geography, but united by their collective love of trashing and reveling in terrible movies. Our Ethos: To tear down those poorly conceived pieces of trash that fall conspicuously like turds in the sewer of pop culture (oh, and defend the ones we like).

This is how you know YOU will enjoy this blog…

YOU were the one who predicted Samuel L. was 30 seconds from being jawed by a Gumby-looking CGI shark while standing next to the unexplained “pool” in that illogical, banana-ram-bonanza known as Deep Blue Sea.

YOU mailed Joel Schumacher anthrax after he utilized an iMovie trick by just reversing footage in Batman and Robin to make it look like Robin was drowning…(it was really just swallowing Chris O’Donnell AND Alicia Silverstone’s career).

It was YOU who brazenly placed Uwe Boll's carcass-storm of a film, House of the Dead in your queue on Netflix, immediately regretting it after realizing A) you were watching a film based off a video game that people play in theater arcades while waiting to go see a REAL movie and 2) all of the zombies in the flick were gifted with conveniently placed springboards…even in a topless teen ridden forest…

And YOU breathed a sigh of relief when Guillermo del Toro unleashed Pan’s Labyrinth , because all of its critical acclaim somehow legitimized your secret, tongue-in-cheek attraction to Hellboy and its chatty, Russian half-zombie (“If I had leg’s I’d kick your ass”).

So as founder and contributor to this beautiful new blog, I’d like to say, as humbly and quietly as possible (because who’s reading this? honestly)—LET’S MAKE THIS SHIT EPIC!! I believe our next step will be to add Carmina Burana blaring on our home page….
