i'm in total agreement. (except for the lord of the rings thing- assuming that's what lotr was- cause i thought it totally sucked!) it seems like people just want to watch stupid movies, and it's ridiculous because it takes away the chance for intelligent movies to be made, or if they are made they get no publicity. i used to watch the oscars to find out what the best movies are, but i have realized that if a movie is successful, it's probably no good. (excepting good will hunting and american beauty, and even american beauty was overrated, because that's the year kevin should have won for dogma) i like movies where after i watch them i feel enlightened, and often when they spend zillions of dollars on special effects and art direction it's to compensate for having a lame script. that's why i wish there were more directors like kevin smith and quentin tarantino and jan svankmajer to write and make good movies and i wish there was a stop to crap like black knight being made. later
