we can't blame foreigners for the existence of transformers, or similar movies, though. the blame belongs closer to home...
escapist cinema has become a plague here in the states. it's terrible. and the possibility of shooting movies in 3D has obviously been more boner-inducing among directors and producers than perhaps anything in the past. 3D has been used as a "look look look at me" sort of tactic, more than anything else. the only movie that i've really enjoyed the 3D in, to date, was Coraline.
I remember reading that Mars Needs Moms cost $175 million to produce and opened with under $7 million in sales. maybe things will change? maybe this had something to do with del toro getting red-lighted on mountains of madness..who knows.

It is such a ridiculous state of affairs: Especially when the studios keep bitching about how much money is being 'stolen' off them from pirates (yarrr)--
they're fucking stupid. Stop spending so much on shit movies, pay for quality cinema and not only will you be spending less, but people will me more inclined to pay... eeeesh
