See, this is what I mean about the stupidity of my fellow Americans...

The new Nicolas Cage film, NATIONAL TREASURE, made more than $45 million this weekend. This, despite across-the-board God awful reviews...which followed the God awful reviews of the FIRST installment. HOW is this now a franchise?! I seriously need to finally invest in a fainting couch. There is not a fiber of my being that longs to see this film. That longs to fork over cash. That longs to invest precious time. WHO the fuck ARE you people?!?! Are you really, REALLY so clueless about what to do with your most precious commodity...which -- I'll help you out here -- is TIME. Is Going to the Movies REALLY such a NEED in your lives, so much so that you'll sit through ANYthing just to fill some empty void? And I DO believe this goes much deeper than anyone realizes. I DO believe it's, yet again, about people afraid of being alone and/or having to be creative. Which is stupid. Of course, I'm overanalyzing to some healthy degree here...many people SIMPLY are STUPID. And walked out of NATIONAL TREASURE giddy and content. I guess this concludes my latest nasty swipe at my fellow Americans, where I deem most of you morons and pronounce myself smarter than you are. Happy holidays!!
