XXX: Inaguration Address

The majority of movies are financial failures. It's not an inevitability, it's poor quality control. I don't know who gives the greenlight at some studios, but their signatures are easy to forge. I don't care if movies like Catwoman come out, I don't see them. I just question the investment.

If I was an executive and someone brought Speed Racer to my desk I would say , "Great! I'll give you $50,000. You can release it on SciFi channel next week." The few thousand die-hard Speed Racer fans would tune in. The 299,993,000 other Americans would watch Deal or No Deal.

Successes aren't always easy to spot. Studios would pass up some real gems. Failures are easy to see. The sequels to Charlie's Angels, XXX, and Tomb Raider were mistakes. Sequels are usually worse than the originals. Mediocre movies should stop when they're ahead. Norbit 2 does not need to be made.

Speaking of multiple Eddie Murphys, Meet Dave will be a failure. If not, my badmoviedar is malfunctioning.
