You Stink

I was talking with Hannah about the book "Your Movie Sucks," by Roger Ebert. In the book, he writes reviews of movies that are (obviosly) horrible. I thought that it was a pretty novel idea, actually, and I thought that it would be very funny, but I was actually a little bit disappointed with what I read. I mean, when you have a book like that, you ought to really slam the movie. I also didn't agree with Mr. Ebert when I was reading his review of "A Cinderella Story." I agreed with him that that movie was bad, don't get me wrong. But he said in that review, that "Ella Enchanted" was a good movie.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. The ONLY redeeming quality that that movie had was Hugh Dancy, who played the part of Prince Char(ming) well. I'm not going to go into why I hated that movie so much at the moment. Maybe someday. Take my advice, though: Run for your lives! Four words: Waste of your life. A watched the movie because I had liked the book, and I still think the book charming.

Anyway, I told Hannah that I could write a book like that. Then I said, "Heck, why stop at movies?" I could write a book (or start a blog) that would just be called, "You Suck" and encompass all areas of life (Movies, books, television shows, food, people, celebrities, music, toaster ovens, the possibilities are endless!) Unfortuantly, I don't like to use that word, and "Stink" does not have the same ring to it, so I will have to think of a new title.

Also, in my book/blog/essays/reviews/television show/radio program, I would offer alternative advice, like Mr. Ebert tried when he suggested seeing "Ella Enchanted" instead. Only I would suggest something good, and not something worse then the thing to begin with. (Yes, Ella Enchanted is worse then A Cinderella Story.)

Anyway, I watched "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" today, and I thought again about this idea. Because that movie was really really awful. Unfortuantly for you, I spent so much time talking about my book idea, that I don't have time to go into details. All you need know is this: It stinks. Don't go to the theatres and see it, if you can avoid it. Stay home and watch Anne of Green Gables. That is my advice.
