Great idea for a new movie

This past weekend, I found myself watching some movies, which included Rubber, and Sucker Punch.  Despite the fact that both movies have absolutely nothing in common in terms of plot, setting, eras, or even actors, I found out that they actually have one gigantic thing in common: Neither of the movies made any fucking sense.  I guess you could also say they had some other things in common, like that they both stunk, and were both disappointing.
