"Isn't anyone listening to our complaints?"

No, I don't think so, Adrien. I've been baffled at the way investors seem to cheerfully sink millions into movies which promptly tank. My husband has an interesting theory. He says they are gamblers. They are hoping that THEIR tiresomely repetitive, violent movie will be the one that catches the public's fancy and makes a jillion bucks.

Science and logic just aren't going to work with a mentality like that.

Movies, like slot machines, seldom pay off, but the gamblers just keep gambling, I guess.

Either that or somebody's cooking the books.
