Galadrial and the guy at sea. Horrible.

Here's what I don't understand about movies with huge ambitions and matching budgets like this one. At some point early on, doesn't someone review the work done and say, "this is just not good."

Millions of folks eat at McDs and other fast food places. I suspect hundreds of thousands eat at places like Chilis and Applebees (if not millions). That's a lot of folks thinking that the food is good (or good enough). I'm guessing that you don't eat at either much. I suspect you compare to the average entertainment watcher about the same. You're assuming that your tastes mimic the avg Joe. I suspect they'll get plenty of folks to watch this stuff.
