Does anyone in hollywood do a modicum of research? Just looking at these titles makes me wonder why hollywood execs wonder why 'strangers with candy' is having a difficult time making money.

People like shiny baubles waved in their faces? Or maybe marketing? I knew it was a prequal movie coming this summer, but I didn't even know Strangers with Candy HAD ALREADY come out! Dang I gotta get my rear to the movies.

POTC is a lot more fun when your hanging out with about 60 rennies in full pirate regalia.. Corsets and busty wenches as far as the eye can oggle.

It's not secret that ameirca loves it's summer blockbusters! No doubt in my Mind that POTC2 was going to blow Superman Returns away...

And I'm with Gideon on this one, going to the movies with a bunch of corset wearing wenches and sabre swinging ruffians is THE WAY to see the new Pirates flick!
