"...and she told me they were laughing because they were excited they recognized things from the book."
Wow, denial much?
"No, they're throwing shit at the screen because they think the romantic subplot is believable."
Wait, slow down, Hoss: Jackie Chan, Billy Ray Cyrus, AND George Lopez, in ONE MOVIE?
Bring the tarps and mops, AMC Theatres staff. You'll be cleaning up mind-splosions all weekend.
I still can't understand people complaining about Swift's performance. She did just fine, way better than I think people were expecting. I thought Gerard Butler, who's supposed to be the professional actor, came off more awkward. I also do agree that the Scared Straight sketch was easily the weakest, though the Back to the Future part was hilarious.
I leave with two words that prove Swift did great: Shakira impersonation.
Dear Westmeat:
Kristen Wiig is making dollars and gaining insane amounts of respect, while you sit at home playing Call of Duty in between knocking up your teenage cousin. Think about that one.
And of course, when I said "Middle America," I meant it as a state of mind, not as a specific location. I know there are folks in the geographic location who cannot abide this shit either.
My apologies if the brush was too broad.
The "Don't blame me, because that's how Middle America feels" argument is upsetting for two reasons:
1. It's the biggest cop-out in the history of cop-outs.
2. It's probably true.
This will be someone's sociology dissertation. Maybe mine.
I missed a lot of the evolution of this last night because of a power outage. I'll chip in my fave of mine:
"Honestly, Alex, isn't most sodomy 'forceable?' I mean, no one GENTLY sodomizes someone, no matter how consensual."
No, just anecdotes of a disturbing nature.
Basically, it's in reference to how the socially awkward contestants on Jeopardy have the BORINGEST, MOST USELESS biographical stories. So, we spiced them up a bit.
I would again like to say that I saw this in the theatre, and my girlfriend at the time loved it, and that was the big signal that things were going downhill.
How tangential can the weather references be? That would open up Do the Right Thing (hot day in Bed-Stuy) and Wizard of Oz (tornados!). There's your double feature.
Thank god this guy didn't have a job or anything. I'd feel sorry for his coworkers every day when he came up to them and said, "Hey, we did another pass on the Psyence Detective theme song. Come listen to it."
Suicide's your only option then.
