That's a valid point. I just question how realistic it is. If we don't validate the art by the artist, then we're exclusively depending on the marketing people to sell it. That seems like a way worse position to be in. In the film industry especially, the opening weekend is of paramount importance (hence the banning warning on the Jersey Girl banner), so how can the flick itself stand alone?
