uwe boll is history's greatest monster
that is all.

and, yes, i'm aware i didn't spell benigni's name
that's an expression of my utter disdain for his oeuvre.

down by law redux
I will however exempt Tom Waits from the above. I like Tom Waits.

"this band sucks" isn't even a value judgment?
Sure it is. It expresses the view of the person making the statement, i.e. that they think the band sucks.

Free hat
"Three eyewitnesses testified that if Hat hadn't killed those babies, they'd have killed him!"

the apparent success of liveearth?
Success? Really? I thought it was a dud that almost else nobody watched.

an evil Imoogi called Buraki?
Really? What about during the rectification of the Vuldrini, when the traveler came as a large and moving Torg? Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be…

that's just silly.

"who would have guessed that any building in Slough was worth A36 million?"
Indeed, who would have guessed that anything in Slough was worth £36 million?

hey, at any point in the movie does lucy appear in the sky?
with diamonds, perchance?

don't blame mamet either
Mamet directs his wives and other actors to get the performances he wants. Yes, the delivery often seems flat and stilted but that's like criticising Dylan's singing for sounding nasal and whiny.

they both used 'love blows'

let it go, lord running clam
let it go.

i too was going to mock the 'mash-up' line
But Jesse Thorn beat me to it. Damn you, sir.

"somewhere, somehow, Jessica Alba needed to get her top ripped off"
Mmm, Albalicious.
