Sorry I let your retarded kid, drown, Mrs. V. I was too busy using my ab-cruncher and misting with Axe body spray to take my lifeguarding duties very seriously. By the way, have you met my one Asian friend? He’s chill. He’s opening up my eyes to other cultures, and junk. I even taught him how to achieve that awesome lead-singer-of-Creed hairdo that’ll make him more acceptable to the rest of us white people at Camp Crystal Lake. Hey, what are you doing with that giant knife. Wait! No! It wasn’t me. It was the black guy! Yeah, our scholarship kid James was supposed to be on lifeguard duty that day. No! Please! I have so much to live for! My lacrosse scholarship at Vandy is secure. My trust fund kicks in when I turn 21. My herpes is totes in remission! No, please. ARRGGGHHHH-GURGLE-GURGLE.

Movie Commentaries

Commentary #25 – The Happening (2008)

M. Night Shyamalan’s first R-rated movie! M. Night Shyamalan’s first R-rated movie! Those were the words that sent people to theaters in – what’s the opposite of “droves” – to experience some stupid thing about angry plants making people walk backwards before killing themselves. And Marky Mark as a science teacher. We know he’s smart because M. Knight makes him wear an awkward sweater vest.

Finally crossing the line into Ed Wood territory, Shyamalan actually expects the audience to feel fear and tension when he stages his characters running away from light breezes. Oh, and instead of a stupid twist ending, the ending is just stupid. In the end, The Happening has all the terror and gravity of a fabric softener commercial AND a criminally underused Alan Ruck. We love Alan Ruck. (IMDb)

Who Says Communists Don’t Have A Sense Of Humor?

1 Comment

From the Yahoo! Movies article “From Russia With Scorn: Bond Girl Denounced by Communists”:

…the Communist Party of St. Petersburg, which in an open letter on its website condemned [new bond girl Olga Kurylenko] for aiding “the killer of hundreds of Soviet people and their allies.” The group’s statement describes 007 as “a man who worked for decades under the orders of Thatcher and Reagan to destroy the USSR.”

They seem halfway serious, which only makes them twice as adorable. Awww! They think Olga is a traitor! Isn’t that just precious!
