Exploded and turned into scraps of mangled flesh strung across a hundred yards of debris, you say? Damn, hope he gets better.

Investors will absolutely hand over money to front men making bad, even obviously insane, promises, though. People are always more easily manipulated than they like to believe, but people who've convinced themselves they're infallible titans of industry are even more vulnerable to it.

Sorry you had a subpar movie experience. I guess the only recourse is to hollow out a middle class profession and concentrate more power in the hands of billionaires.

I would suggest that the reason you were enticed into going to see the subpar movie with all its marketing, merchandising, and structural support may have more to do with corporate executives than a hard-as-nails creative profession with a $45,000 median salary.

We've tried making the problem worse and now we're all out of ideas.
