    The plotting seems questionable, but the actual prose we hear does actually sound like someone with a genuine authorial voice, which probably on its own puts it above the rest of the hackwork on this list.

    ROBIN WILLIAMS'S STAND-UP

    ROBIN WILLIAMS'S STAND-UP

    Even when I agree with him (which is often), I want to punch him in the balls.

    I've been trying to articulate why this movie does not sit comfortably with me… I think ultimately it feels more clever than actually smart or insightful. I think they came up with the premise of people being forced to act like they're in a horror movie but had no idea where to take it. In the end, this movie is about

    I thought the ending was horrible, atonal, and the best evidence for the suspicion I had while watching that they had no idea where they were going with this. I didn't think they knew where they were going with this premise at all.

    The ending ruined it for me. It turned out as honestly LESS than just a meta-criticism for me.

    Oooooverated.

    First time I heard them was in their famous iPod commercial. I thought it was a madeup jingle for the commercial because there was no way someone seriously intended a real song to have lyrics as bad as "You look so fine that I really wanna make you mine."

    I don't know, man, I'm a substitute teacher in a pretty poor school system and I see way more characters that would fit in in Gummo that is comfortable.

    Yeah, that's the one. The fact that Jackson quit and Chaw has dramatically decreased his output is just heartbreaking to me.

    An online film critic I really liked recently quit writing to focus on his day job as a social worker. Before he quit, he said that "Gummo" had a better understanding of poverty and life on the margins than "The Bicycle Thief."

    What Tom Green and Tim and Eric have in common is that they both deliberately look like shit and both deliberately try and cause as much discomfort in a lot of their works.

    No, honestly, being proud of not seeing "Garfield 2" would be exactly as obnoxious. I'm with Sean Robinson on this one. Why the FUCK would you be proud of not watching or not reading anything?

    ""Have you watched this show? If not, you don't know what it's like. I
    haven't watched it, so I haven't formed a judgment on it" is the frame
    of thought of someone who believes things should be judged by people who actually have an opinion worth a shit, which Pig In Zen clearly does not.

    Hate to be that asshole, but I'd like to put forth the opinion that Dead Poets Society is a rancid piece of dogshit. I thought it was boring as hell while I was watching it, and the more I thought about it afterward, the more it came off as a disgustingly hypocritical, pro-suicide, pro-conformity film.

    Tim and Eric is what happens if you combine the pointlessness of Family Guy with the self-congratulatory smugness of South Park and the complete lack of aesthetic standards of the majority of the Adult Swim lineup, but with none of the actual jokes or humor of any of them.

    Michael Bay's Transformers was the first thing I thought of when I read the article, and I'm going to have respectfully disagree with the rest of the people on the thread and respectfully call them a bunch of fucking idiots, because a greedy, money-grubbing Kermit the Frog sounds absolutely awful. The big-budget

    If you say so, I guess.

    I will say it to anyone who will listen to me, but "Kung Fu Panda" the original sucks a whole fucking bunch of ass. It's "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" as a cartoon, and the message is absolutely awful. Remember, kids, just BELIEVE in yourself and you too can be a Kung Fu Panda! Hard work? Training? Fuck that, you can do two
