Domain squatters and name ideas

I’ve just been running a search on various domain names including moviedonuts.com, moviepopcorn.com and moviepizza.com. They are all taken by domain quatters. Who would visit MoviePizza.com?!? It makes no sense they would register it. I mean, ok, I was looking for it but that’s because I am setting up a website, who would just type it in and even if a handful of people did would that cover the cost of registering it in adverting revenues? I very highly doubt it.

I mean, where do they come up with the idea to get names like that? I can understand if someone does it about one topic but these companies seem to cover pretty much every topic and still have all these random combinations of names.
