And we've all been in movies where that happens. It's a small niggling thing but a lot of my characters do it. It's fun to do, but I overuse it. I'm trying to thin down my characters sarcasm. But you realize after a while that people aren't dumb in Hollywood, everyone's just confused.
Nobody knows what anybody wants.
You wonder how all the junk gets put out, and it's because everyone's opinions are just vivisected by what they think the public wants. That's why sequels are so popular - it was wanted once so do it again. And star vehicles - I think that a big part of responsibilities of movies is placed on the stars, to choose the right material. They're both tough nuts to crack right now because of their respective careers. Or even if we found a talented newcomer.
