"The movie obviously succeeds on its own level. I think people probably are a bit on the surprised side around town that it's No. 1," said Chuck Viane, head of distribution for Disney. "Two months ago, nobody would have bet on that." It was always obvious to me that it'd be a hit, and I'm nobody, It's because it's DIFFERENT. Hollywood will never get it.

Being different wouldn't be enough, and isn't enough for me. This one just doesn't look like one I'd want to sit through.

I saw it this past weekend for the same reason - it's not the typical, cookie-cutter film.

You are so right about Hollywood not getting it. We rarely go to the movies. I am so tired of stale plots and movies that depend solely on special effects, violence and sex. Add on all the sequels and no wonder movie ticket sales are down.
That is one reason I like Independent Films because you can actually see a movie with some fresh plots. We are planning to see Gibson's latest.
