Most summer movies are designed for one thing, money making. Mile high hype equals even higher profits, especially when coupled with expensive eye-candy (Triple X being the most recent and stereotypical offender).

So despite a valiant effort from the Blazers, WJ proved to be too strong, and Blair lost, 47-38.
