Smitty...I agree that it's sad that so many crap movies make a fortune, while some incredible films make nothing. While many people, myself included, go to see "good" filmaking, a quality script, capable acting, etc....many people go for pure, mindless escapism. Most people will unfortunately choose senseless violence, tiresome explosions, slapstick humour, and gratuitous sex over anything remotely resembling a good screenplay or a brilliant performance by an actor.
You'll never convince all the people that made Titanic into a "cinematic materpiece" that it was hardly deserving of being the best picture that year (good effects notwithstanding). Jeez...people protested that DiCaprio didn't get an Oscar nod...BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

good to see someone agrees. I often find myself watching TMN and enjoying a good independent Canadian film. A days ago I watched this one about a Winnipeg engineer whose raver cousin comes to live with him and turns his world upside down...great stuff.
I mean...it was either that...or Pirates of the Caribbean, which my friend rented and wanted me to watch.
