It seems Larry The Cable Guy of Blue Collar Comedy fame has a movie coming out. Uh oh. Here, thebestmarkever has this to say about it:

It seems that movie execs have given up completely and are just making movies that they know no one will go and see anyway. I guess there is an audience for this, but they'll be too busy either screwing their cousin in a barn or being screwed by their cousin in a barn. Shame.

speakerwiggin has had a traumatic experience watching Ultraviolet. Pity him, yes, but read his review.

"This movie is pure eye candy, only the candy is broccoli dipped in caramel filled with pubic hair. . . . [It] TRIED to be deep, but succeeded in the same way one might try to make a snow angel on concrete. There were speeches and pauses and dramatic music that were all the cues for you to say "whoa" like Keanu and think, but all you really end up doing is rubbing the salt from your popcorn into your eyes hoping you scratch them enough that the movie clouds over."

Come on! Bad reviews like that are like the best advertising ever.

I swallowed. “You must have been a damn ugly child then.”

“I thought the same thing,” he confessed.

QWP. That's the whole post, but context is here.
