I was examining the various intricacies of the magical internet recently, when I came across something which shocked me to my very core. They had made seven, yes seven, Police Academy movies. I am still amazed at this. During the last few, even Steve Gutenberg turned down a role in the movies, Steve Gutenberg! How bad did the movie have to be for that to happen?

So I was trying to figure out how the last bunch of the Police Academy movies could have gotten made, I figure the ideas were pitched as follows:

Writer/Producer: So we want to make another one of the exceptionally successful and critically acclaimed Police Academy films.
Studio Exec: Will Gutenberg be back for it?
Writer/Producer: Unfortunately no, he will be busy doing a one man show of Hamlet on the planet Neptune.
Studio Exec: Well, that is unfortunate. Truly he is the greatest actor of his generation. What about that guy who makes the sound effects? You know beep booooom kersplat and so on?
Writer/Producer: Yeah we have him.
Studio Exec: Well then, here is $20 million.

I gotta admit, the sound effects guy is pretty cool. Anyway, my plan is to somehow find all seven of the Police Academy movies and chronicle their descent into abyssal cinema. I doubt that even with my stomach for awfulness, I could survive all seven in one day. So it would likely be over a three day timespan.

Yeah, that's the plan.
