What's wrong with ARGs? Isn't the whole point that they're for the hardcore who are willing to solve them, and therefore easily ignored?

After seeing Jaws, my mom had a recurring dream about a shark coming through the living room window.

I'm with UMD on this one. I think Hollywood would be a lot healthier if the average summer blockbuster was more like the Dark Knight, or Inception. Middlebrow popcorn stuff that people can talk about after the movie.

@DonBoy2:disqus  Yeah, that's how I've always read the Bechdel test, and I think it's silly to do otherwise.
