Yeah, that's funny, but see above. Not to mention how I'd be one of those boring people arguing that execution truly does trump content in the long run, especially if you're dealing with the archetypical. "Pretty but dumb"? That's an execution problem. "Pretty, dumb and maybe racist?" Same thing. Romeo and Juliet does NOT "equal" Tromeo and Juliet, any more than West Side Story "equals" China Girl. (Or Turbulence "equals" Silence of the Lambs, just because their main villains may seem to be riffing off the same eeeevil soopa-geeeenius template.)
