Monday stuff: ‘Snide Remarks,’ a late review
Matters of race, politics, abortion, and homosexuality appear in this week’s “Snide Remarks,” and my Utah readers probably already know what that means: It’s about Sen. Chris Buttars (R-West Jordan). If you’re not familiar with Buttars, you’re in for a treat. Please feast on this week’s column, entitled “A Crock of Buttars.”
And speaking of loathsome, vile things, my review of Larry The Cable Guy’s “Witless Protection” is up at Film.com. The final paragraph reads: “If you find any of this funny, please rush out and see ‘Witless Protection.’ And please don’t ever do anything that would make me aware of your existence. I prefer not to know.” This was toned down (at the request of my editor) from my original conclusion, which was: “If you find any of this funny, please rush out and see ‘Witless Protection,’ and then please take your own life. It is the only honorable course of action.” I accept the need for the alteration, though I stand by my original position.

Since, as always, I’m too lazy to register at film.com, I’ll comment here.
It’s moments like these that remind me that being a film critic isn’t all seeing Waking Ned Divine and 300 for free. It’s got its downsides too. Maybe that’s why Larry makes movies - so you appreciate how luxurious the rest of your job is.
