T.O.D. (2)
The problem with clichés is that, the older you get, the more that everything seems like a cliché. There are few,if any, surprises any longer. On the other hand, we get comfortable with clichés.
So, if somebody does, in fact, do something that surprises us, we tend to proclaim that filmmakers' "brilliance"...even if the overall movie is nothing special.
