"If studios start to view the blogosphere as some kind of massive focus group, two things will happen: The first is that the movies will become idiotic and impersonal, which is probably predictable. But the less predictable second result will be that many of those movies will still fail commercially, even if the studios' research was perfect."

Follow Ups:
Snakes on a Plane, all pitch and no movie, would more fully be labelled Computer-Generated Snakes on a Tangible Set of a Plane, such that the snakes seldom look to be actually aboard the plane but rather cut-and-pasted on top of it. In any case there are too many of them (whether digital or bona fide reptile) and too many passengers, Honolulu to L.A., for director David R. Ellis to keep track of, Samuel L. Jackson excepted as an FBI escort of a top-priority witness. The action, once it gets rolling, careens into chaos. As a warm-up, one snake slithers down from the disabled smoke detector in one of the lavatories while a pair of young lovers are enrolling in the Mile-High Club and bites the woman on the nipple. Another in an adjacent lavatory pops up from the toilet bowl while a man is relieving himself and bites him on the weenie. It's that kind of thing. Schlock unashamed. (That hiss you hear could be human in origin.) The Internet chatterers who feel a special proprietorship toward the movie are entirely welcome to it.
The movie was played for laughs, too bad he didn't get it.
Some of us did. I get the impression he doesn't get camp as a genre.

Bad effects have been a cornerstone of camp.

Who's aggitat'in my dots?
What has been going on that is truly tragic is the studios taking near finished works and screenng them for teenagers and twenty something year olds and then forcing the artists to re work their movies based on surveys taken from these audiences. I crash these screenings evey chance i get and give the highest marks possible just to buck the system.
