What I'm looking for is for my movies, music, books and TV to take me away for the length of the time I'm enjoying them.
If that makes me dumber then you or too low brow to be a useful human, well too bad, because I'm in the majority, and the reason there are movies made like this is because people enjoy them for what they are.
Now excuse me, I have to finish my BLL and then hop into my car and blast some Nickleback on the way to see Transformers

Well my point wasn't to try to make you look dumb and get all defensive. All I'm trying to suggest is, that at some level, story does matter. Even if you don't expect a movie to have an oscar calibur script or acting, you can't totally dismiss it either. Even "mindless" fun movies (which yes, I do enjoy as well) need to have something more than explosions and action to make them worthy of watching. Point being, sometimes the best effects are not enough to save a movie with a disasterous script, plot, or acting.
What is a BLL anyways?
