Yes, that IS an embarressment, and Sony knows it. Please stop trying to spin this piece of garbage like it was somehow profitable.

People were swearing to God he'd be a legend, and now I'm just waiting for a follow-up to ESSM that's better than just OK… I wonder if he'd ever speak frankly about that, because he's alluded to feeling that way a few times. All he needs is one fantastic movie and he's back in buzztopia…
