Is it true that if you can come up with a concept of something, there’s a blog for it?

Binky,

Do you read the blog of unnecessary quotation marks? If not, you really should.

I like the use of quotes. (Ex – I came out of this movie feeling “pissed off”….)

To me, using quotes is the written equivalent of winking. Which makes the quoted comment’s intent “nebulous” leaving me feeling “confused” and “wondering if there’s any meaning in the universe” and “eager for a sandwich.”

I need to see a sheik.

My favorite comment on The Covenant was the one about how normal people don’t care about plot or dialog or anything like that when they watch movies. Maybe that explains why so many stupid movies have so many stupid fans. They’re just normal.

That was the funniest [bleep]ing thing I’ve read all day. Likely all week. Quite possibly all year, though it’s only February 6th. You lucky, lucky bastard!

Sadly, I’ve had students (in university) who write like this. They come out of high school with great marks, sincerely believing they can express themselves well, and this is how they write. God bless high school teachers — they’re like the parents of American Idol contestants, building self esteems utterly unrelated to ability. And then we have to be the ones to sit them down and say, “Look, I know you were an A student, but those grades really meant nothing. Sorry”.

On the other hand, we get gems like this column as a result. Huzzah!

My favorite is you should get your “just desserts”. Oh, and “you idiot”. So succinct.

I remember reading a column where Eric had to pretend he was Shrek (to help with some potty training) so maybe she did mean Shrek.
Sheik would be better, though.

Wow. I took your advice and read the comments on The Covenant. I had to stop after number 25 because my brain couldn’t handle more “so-and-so’s got such a cute butt!!!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.” But I have to say that my favorite line came from the first comment about “pubrity.” That’s a gem.

The Hillary Swank comment is my all-around favorite. Short, sweet, to the point: HS is manly, and contracts make life beautiful. I have yet to sign my contract for beauty!

Oh, and I heard that Eric’s gardener is actually Swedish. And that all he remembers from movies are the crotch shots.
