Spoiler Reason
I'm starting to develop a slight hatred on these test screenings, or the people they show them to. Barring a few exceptions, controversial movies with shocking twists routinely get turned into
BS cliché happy ending crap or are dumbed down to a less sophisticated (and less interesting) version because of this very process. I've just read
a German article on this very subject the other day and was disheartened at the amount of artistic rape going on due to this.
Granted, it usually leads to movies making more money in the theatres (I doubt that "Pretty Woman" would've made much money in its original non-sexist and capitalism-critical version), which is why I understand the companies doing this, but it still feels wrong. I've noticed some time ago that I'm not the "average consumer" in usually preferring the writers' original vision to some watered-down cliché crap, or in my continued disgust for various reality TV and soap shows that seem to dominate the channels these days, so that's probably why I'm feeling somewhat cynical about this. Still, at least there are
some movies still coming out appealing to my taste.
Also, feth 3D.
