apocalypsosU.S. Box Office Hits Longest Modern Slump -- All those not surprised, considering the quality of the movies, please raise your hands. *raises both as far as they'll go*
Seriously, I paid specific attention when I went to see Batman Begins to the trailers. I had eight trailers, only three of which were not directly based on a TV show, a comic book, a book, or another movie. Of the three that were original, one was that Disney ripoff of the X-Men (Sky High, which I'll probably go see, but mostly for Bruce Campbell and Kurt Russell and with the specific understanding that the Disney Channel shows original movies of equal quality all the damn time), a sequel to a Rob Zombie movie (The Devil's Rejects, the followup to pretty much the worst movie I've ever seen in my life), and the Michael Bey movie (The Island, which the IMDb claims is a remake of The Clonus Horror, and I'd like to argue it because I can pretty much guarantee it's not true, but I can't because I've actually seen The Clonus Horror).
