You guys should know by now that it is not the content that sells these types of movies, it is the brand name. They won't waste money on a bunch of big name, big paycheck actors. They will make cut after cut unitl it is PG-13, and thousands of kids will flock to it on the power of the name alone. It does not matter if it sucks, because by the time that the suckage is confirmed, they have made their money and are already on to the next big name. And then they will make a killing again, because, like all popular theatre movies, the rental stores will buy a hundred copies a piece from the distributors, so that they can guarantee it in stock and make sure everyone on the planet who didn't suffer through it in the theatre will suffer through it at home and make them a huge profit. It is a viscious circle, and one that is not likely to end as long as enough people are willing to pay even one cent for this utter garbage.
