Searing Insight Into The Movie Industry

In an email, my brother hit upon the great secret of film-making. Here it is.

Perhaps the ivory-tower reviewers have realised what the public has always known, that you can't ask for anything more in a movie than zombie pirates. After all, think of all the movies that would have been improved by zombie pirates. Pretty Woman! Remains of the Day! Casablanca! (They might not have improved Water World, but there you go. At least they wouldn't have made it worse).

I think he's onto something. As are these guys. Perhaps.
