Signs that maybe you need to get a new agent

When you see a line like this in a mainstream media discussion of your upcoming movie:

After a cold streak with films such as "The Weather Man" and "The Wicker Man" Nicolas Cage is poised to take pole position with the Marvel Comics adaptation "Ghost Rider."

The long-gestating film is set for a huge start along the lines of writer-director Mark Steven Johnson's previous Marvel outing "Daredevil," which opened to $45 million during the 2003 Presidents Day weekend.

Yeah, cuz we all now what wonders "Daredevil" did for Ben Affleck's career.

Early pre-release screaning reviews indicate that Ghost Rider is impossiby bad. Not bad enough to be a "good bad movie" in a B-feature kind of way, but bad in a gut-wrenchingly difficult to watch kind of way.

I can't wait... for the DVD bargain bin release.

I could probably hold my breath that long.
