Yeah. Who would have thought that The Rock was DEAD THE WHOLE TIME!?!?!?!?!?

I was eating while i read that and i almost had to call 911. There are few things i like less than a movie with The Rock in it, but i am thrilled this movie was made, only because it means i got to ready that review.

God bless you Lindy West.

I thought The Rock was Luke and Leia's father?

That was great.

By the way, another great stream of wonderful reviews of bad movies can be found if you google "Battleship Earth". I seem to remember the New Yorker review making me laugh my head off.

Whatever -- anyone could figure out what this review would say just from watching the TV ads which tell you everything you need to know about the movie. Another vote for Uncle Buck -- it doesn't belong in this category...

Morning news, please.

as funny as some of Dorothy Parker's pans, and I can think of no greater compliment that doesn't involve Thurber.

Finally I'm a minority! I didn't think it was that funny. *shrug*

I seem to remember tying with her for "Most Likely to Make You Laugh" our senior year of high school.

@16:
My proudest moment! Racking up an unheard-of 7 votes to become Garfield High School's 5th-Funniest Female Runner-Up!

Anyway, I'm pretty sure T-Bone Bourret defeated us both.

I still think the funniest review I've ever read was Roger Ebert's review of Armageddon.

When he slams a movie, nobody's better than Ebert. I still miss Siskel, though, so here's a blast from the past. (NSFW language)

@17: A win is a win. Just because three other people were disqualified doesn't mean you didn't deserve it.

That review is as wonderful as opening your fridge to find a pyramid of fresh banh mi stacked milk-carton high, only to discover that they are actually a mysterious teleporting family of squirrel zombies. The small ones are delicious, but I still have trouble keeping the big ones in the bun when I bite down.

I agree. That is why I have lamented not seeing any Lindy reviews in a while. I would be happy as a clam if Lindy wrote every movie review for the Stranger. Every single one.
