I had an entire tirade written... and you summed up everything I wrote in just two, beautiful sentances. Well done.
Still, I'd also add a line about the general wretchedness of films these days. With the exception of the films The Ring and The Grudge, horror films are just horrible special effects vehicles these days. "Art films" and "high drama" are just preachy leftist propaganda, and comedies all seem to star Ashton Kutcher.
Right now one of the better comedies I have seen recently "The 40 Year Old Virgin" is out and Ashton Kutcher isn't in it. Steve Carrel is, and he is just as funny it as he is in everything else. And from what I have seen of him that says something.
It's ironic that the liberal Hollywood is whining about the movie business is in a slump, were we had Mel Gibson spent $ 45 million of his own money on THE PASSION , and he brought in well over 500 million with his movie.
