Jesus Christ! How does sh*t like this make it to filming?

Wow...okay...your characters are supposed to be 'deep,' insightful and philosophical, but God Almighty, do you have to remind us of this fact every two minutes? How does tripe like this get made? In all honesty, guys, if you're zeroing in on Matthew Lillard as one of your leads, you've got embarrassing 'D' material.
