I can see it now......
"I know! You know how we made a shitload of money off Sideshow Bob and Mariah Scary? Well, why don't we make a movie where they fall in love or something?"
"That's.........the BEST idea I've heard since Waterworld!"
"Well, how bout a guy who, for some reason, a lot of girls find attractive, in a movie with a completey recycled and senseless plot, and all he does is do unrealistic mindless stunts with all those cool explosions and stuff, and we'll make sure he gets the girl?"
"AWESOME! It worked for Steven Seagal!"
"Sure. Nancy, please notify Mr. Diesel. Tell him he has work again."
"You know who'd be perfect as director? Steven Soderbergh! Just cause he made a great movie like Ocean's Eleven doesn't mean he can't be his normal self.....remember Full Frontal?"
"Guys, you're blowing my mind with all this....let's get to work."
Vin Diesel.....haven't seen charisma like that since Ben Stein in Ferris Bueller.

you see, this thread's the problem. People's tastes are different, the abstract movies are really hit and miss with the mainstream audience. I loved the movie Roger Dodger, but most ppl that i've mentioned it too said they've never heard of it.
p.s. Whoever said Traffic is bad...hey i'd like to see you make a better movie.
