If that is the whiskey I know, then he is probably upset that the film pokes a hole in his “all women are callous, spiteful, and selfish” belief.

Moreover, as you know, Twilight had a far greater ENTHUSIASM, with a strong opening Weekend, boding well for extracting Special Edition, Limited Special Edition, and Director’s Cuts DVD sales. Blind Side by contrast did a little less the first weekend than the Grudge. The two pics (Grudge, Blind Side) will probably do about the same.

Twilight was a tremendous success, but has a down-side: no guys will ever go see it or buy the DVDs, so it will be “capped.” Blind Side like Grudge is a modest, cheap movie with a limited appeal.

A true hit would be “Up” or Spider-Man or Iron Man (the latter doing around 400 million plus and 300 million plus respectively). Acceptable and popular to a broad spectrum of the audience.

Moreover, Hollywood is simply INCAPABLE because of the vast social and moral and cultural and economic and political and personal difference from their audience from making a broadly popular movie that is not based on a Comic Book (story already written by someone able to connect with the audience) or done by Pixar.

Folks who live in Malibu mansions, with every need attended to, making vast amounts of money, worshiped like a god, with completely alien views on society, culture, religion, marriage, family, fidelity, sex, love, politics, and America cannot by their very nature make films that appeal to broad American audiences any more than a stone-age tribesman from New Guinea could. The cultural and social distance is too vast. [Pixar being the one exception, due to it's strong in-house culture of average person connectedness.]
