I so don't understand the movie-going public.

Neither do I understand the film-makers

Or is it the backers? What's with movies spun off from video games? Where's the story? How can the audience get into it without looking for the "shoot" button? Is Hollywood so intellectually bankrupt that nobody can come up with a story that doesn't have a hook to "popular culture" in it anymore? Next we'll be watching that runaway box office smash "Livejournal - the Movie" or possibly "Usenet - the Movie". Either one of which have got to be better than "Spam! The Musical"

Dear Hollywood,
Please find people with actual working brains and lively immaginations, would you?

Yours sincerely,
Jessie C
