What's It Mean?

My all-time favoritest genre of movies ever had another weekend no. 1 last week. The Prom Night remake made $20.8 million and was the top box office draw.

I used to think, and still do, mostly, that such a state of affairs means lots of folks have no damn sense, either morally or of the old fashioned don't-touch-the-hot-stove variety. But I'm not sure anymore if the sense deficit actually causes these movies to be made and watched. I think it's more basic and not nearly as complicated as some sort of psychological fault or mental illness, although I maintain the people whose creative vision runs this way couldn't be hurt by therapy. Nope, it's much, much simpler.

We got way too many people who just don't have enough to do.
