Manger! Like with Jesus! Okay, I get it now. I was like, "is this a smang thing?" But I put my thinking cap on, because I wanted to understand the title that used my namesake. The end.
Sometimes there's a situation on TV (Bristol dancing) that causes a situation (your anger) that ends with a situation (shotgun shells) in your situation (television). And then you go to a situation (jail).
I am also ))(( forever on this movie. On one hand, "from the director of Pineapple Express" does not make me want to see it, no, none at all. On the other hand, it looks pretty fun!
Everyone else has gone with Witness, but I imagine that Lukas Haas' character will get ripped apart by the Wolf while Red Riding Hood stumbles, horrified, away from the carnage she has orchestrated in an effort to find some semblance of justice for her murdered ex-girlfriend Emily (Emilie de Ravin).
To be fair, I am a vegetarian, and my experience of the world is pretty much nonstop this:

Welp, it is time for me to give up and hate this movie forever.
I can put up with a lot, but I cannot abide smug, misguided allusions to Lolita! Standards, people!*
*I wish I were kidding. I am really this much of a... whatever this makes me.
I mean, I really do not want to get on the "justifying Lester Burnham's behavior" bandwagon because he is a creepster, agreed, but I do think Humbert Humbert is In A Different Class. Reasons include: Lolita was 12 AND he was Lolita's guardian AND he felt no remorse about his role in her mother's death AND etc.
I'm really enjoying these WMOAT entries about movies that are not universally panned and, in many cases, are generally critically acclaimed. I think it makes for some really interesting reviews and comment discussions.
That being said, I'm going to suggest a really terrible, obviously terrible, no-way-it-could-be-good movie for the Hunt:
THE CELESTINE PROPHECY (2006)
In this adaptation of the popular New Age classic (???), a history teacher has to go to Peru to check out some scrolls that predict the future of mankind! This movie stars matte paintings, soft focus lenses, and stars of Videogum past and present Rufus Humphrey (Gossip Girl) and Mrs. Grimes (Walking Dead). Also Jurgen Prochnow and Hector Elizondo? They are in this too, and they are probably B-list, right?
This sounds like a movie that didn't get a theatrical release, but it did, in several countries! And so, in conclusion, I believe it qualifies for the Hunt and would be a worthy entry.
It is on Netflix Instant. It is a pretty fun time.*
*Sobriety not recommended.
I'm just going to put this out there: it is possible that John Slattery was better at guest starring last night than anyone else is at anything, or has been, ever, in history.
God, his HAIR. And "I'm a baby!" I just... I am firmly on team "Community is better than 30 Rock," but John Slattery blew me away.
