- The biggest problem in cinema these days is the prevalence of backstory.
- It’s sometimes so pronounced that it burdens the audience.
- I mean, who wants to see how the Mad Hatter became mad?

Why We Pay the Big Bucks
- Going to the movies costs a lot of money.

- So it’s pretentious junk. Taste is subjective, after all … isn’t it?
Now These Would Be Some Scary Movies!
- Rosemary’s Bubbe
- Night of the Hackneyed Script
- The Blair Ditch Project
- The House on Normal Hill
