# good films, for a start.

# They haven't completely discounted ever making a new Care Bears movie.
I wouldn't be quite so despondent.

# *eagerly awaits*
i'm not despondent, i'm glad they make crappy movies. it keeps the mouthbreathers busy and out of the decent cinemas that don't show garbage.

# I'm looking forward to Indy and Batman and wouldn't really consider myself a mouthbreather.
Blockbuster does not necessarily mean crap.

# you get partial exemption because you're a pop-culture buff.
i can go along with smart pop-culture, at times, but even a lot of that gets watered down so that more people will buy into it.

i can't recall many blockbusters (a term that we might define differently) from the past twenty years that weren't crap.

# Meh, I'm far from a pop culture buff.
I don't care whether its a multi-million dollar extravaganza or something low budget and arthouse, if its entertaining it's entertaining. Its also nice sometimes to be able to switch off the brain and enjoy a certain kind of film simply for enjoyments sake.

# YOU ARE BUFF. I SAY YOU BUFF, SO YOU BUFF. GOT IT, BUFF?
i don't mind switching my brain partly off, but i can't do it completely (or 90% off), and that's what so many films seem to require.

i guess it would be easier if most off the brain-off films weren't also hopelessly jingoistic, patronising and bigoted or clueless about other cultures.

i am expecting too much of them, i know. but, crap can be good! it doesn't have to be bad on top of being crap.
