1) I once bought this poster but never hung it up and now it’s gone
2) How much does Brad Pitt look like Redford?

I watched Mulholland Drive the other day with my dad, and I must say I’m really sick of pretentious swill being touted as “the best film of the 2000s” and blah blah blah. Dude, it was god awful. I don’t see how an oddly-acted, nonsensical, weird and painful two-and-a-half hours needs to be considered genius because there is no way any person on this earth understands what the fuck it means. Just say “I don’t get it!” Not “Oh, there are so many interpretations and it’s so special and who knows what it means?!” That means it had no plot. Pull your lips off your own asshole and watch a movie where something actually happens.

My favorite quotations from reviews of The Last Song
**this is not something I would normally do and I don’t know what made me do it. With that being said, this made for a tremendously enjoyable hour of my life.
…acting, for the moment at least, seems almost entirely beyond [Miley Toothrus]. In “The Last Song” she pouts, slouches, storms in and out of rooms and occasionally cracks a snaggle-toothed smile, but most of the time she seems to be mugging for the camera, play-acting rather than exploring the motives and feelings of her character…The beach looks really nice, though.
-A.O. Scott, The New York Times
It’s not surprising that in the hands of a first-time director and first-time screenwriter, nobody in this movie behaves like a recognizable human being.
-Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Subtlety is not the strong suit of “The Last Song.” Neither is believability, depth, or good writing.
-Dustin Putman, dustinputman.com
This being the sort of movie where the audience knows what’s going to happen about 45 minutes before the characters do, Kinnear’s makeup and demeanor from the first shot (not to mention the high mortality rate in Sparks’ adaptations) rather obviously telegraph that he may not make it till the final reel.
-Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Sparks recently went on record as saying he is a greater novelist than Cormac McCarthy. This is true in the same sense that I am a better novelist than William Shakespeare. Sparks also said his novels are like Greek Tragedies. This may actually be true. I can’t check it out because, tragically, no really bad Greek tragedies have survived. His story here amounts to soft porn for teenage girls.
-Roger Ebert
I can’t recall ever squirming as much as I did during Ronnie and Will’s first kiss; shiny, buff Hemsworth looks like he’s locking lips with an Andy Hardy–era Mickey Rooney in a wig…What little heat is generated emanates solely from Hemsworth’s frequently bare chest; a mud fight between the two teens occurs only to make it necessary for the actor to shuck his shirt and hose off. (When, in another instance of disastrous dialogue, Ronnie tells Will, “Maybe you should find someone more suited to your lifestyle,” you wonder whether she’s referring to readers of Honcho magazine.)
-Melissa Anderson, The Village Voice

He is, once again, so fucking on point! Particularly about Wedding Crashers and Little Miss Sunshine. My favorite line:
“So much hype and so little payoff. I’m still not sure why people liked this. Was it because people told you you were supposed to?”
