Different people like different things. ;-)

The comic you linked to is titled Lisp, and wonders if god constructed the
universe using lisp.

Oh well, never mind then. It's certainly not the first time somebody has
told me I'm not funny.
[I thought the idea of a real person having a name like Sandy Beaver was
very amusing - but the entire NERV clan disagreed with me, so...]

I honestly don't understand why Cutthroat Island was such a flop.
IMO it was ok. Definitely much better than many movies which profited
more.
I suppose the chaotic nature of the big audience cannot be predicted
(if it could be, every movie would be a huge success).

The problem with SW3 (and the previous two) is not that it was bad (it
was quite good from all points of view, IMO), but that it failed to meet
fan expectations. If there weren't any expectations about it at all it
would have probably been considered an above average movie, perhaps even
a good movie, but big expectations and not meeting them ruined it.
IMO Lucas made a mistake with the way he did the trilogy. Basically he
didn't listen to what the fans wanted, but made what he wanted. While the
result was IMO quite good, fans didn't like it.
If I were Lucas I would redeem myself by making one movie more: A movie
for the fans. A movie about Darth Vader (which happens between episodes
three and four), a movie which is the epitome of all that is cool about
Darth Vader.
But I've got the feeling that Lucas is too proud to do that, unfortunately.

Only when they're actually funny. ;-)
I think there's a segment of the population that just doesn't find
watching other people's pain to be funny, even for fictional people.

It was.
Me? I find only a handful of movies that are worth watching more than
once in the theatre, and many more that are worth watching many times at
home (especially while doing something else, perhaps).

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.
