you overestimate the intelligence of the average movie goer.
i think what people who are in love with movies enough to join movie related forums forget is that they arent the norm, they are the exception.
i see it a lot here - because movies are a big part of our lives - we invest time into paying attention to them, sometimes doing a little research.
that isnt the case with 80% (probably more) of the rest of the world that watches movies.
they are generally as dull as a box of hammers - which if you think of it is pretty obvious given the crap that does well in the theatres and as rentals.
to the vast majority - movies are no different than tv shows - or commercials ... something to do - something to move in front of their eyes when they are too bored to find anything else to do.
sad but true.
