: : You know your lame when you lose to American Pie 2 which, by the way, had opened THREE weeks prior to Kevins. A three week old movie beats your new one, do the math.
: Plenty of shitty films have taken in a butt-load of money (Misison: Imposisble anyone?) whilst many great films have all but flopped (Donnie Darko never even got the dignity of a wide release!).

What horrible dialogue? That movie was worthless adrenaline pumping drivel. I agree that many many films with big budgets, and more with small budgets, suck ass. Most of the movies that pull in so much money do so because they cater to the lowest common denominator. Titanic? Crap. Star Wars: Phantom Menace? Crap. Home alone? Crap. Twister? Crap. I think you see where I'm going with this.
