Bull. You have fallen for Hollywood propaganda. Ever since 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars', the studios have been looking for the next big blockbuster, which is why they make movies that try to be all things to all people, all people being defined as the 12 to 24 year old demographic. So, they won't take a chance on a film that might be somewhat quirky by their standards, because they don't see it bringing in a bazillion dollars of gross.
By the way, I don't go to movie theaters anymore. I can see no advantage in paying 9 or 10 bucks, along with overpriced concession stand crap, to sit in a theater with people who hold inane discussions or worst yet, use their cellphone, to see a movie I could rent for 5 bucks and watch in the comfort of my own home in 3 or 4 months.
But I'm not bitter...
