Why I Read the Movie Reviews | |
I haven't been to a movie theater for years, and honestly don't see anything coming up that I want to spend the money to go see - I'll wait for it to hit HBO. But I LOVE to read the A.O. Scott movie reviews in the NYTimes - it makes up for NYT not having comics. From today's review of Balls of Fury: Quote: | A.O. Scott said
The last movie I saw before I went on vacation was “Hot Rod,” about a tall, skinny loser who dreams of rising to glory as a stuntman. The first movie I saw upon my return was “Balls of Fury,” about a short, stubby loser who seeks glory in the world of competitive Ping-Pong. It’s like I never left!
And while I have nothing against either film — aside from the fact that they’re both terrible — I do have one request. Can summer please be over now?

I will forgo plot summary, since it would take me longer to recount the story than it took the screenwriters, Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, to come up with it. |
