Please Let This Be True

Apparently, the virtually talentless bag of cinematic retardation and self-promoting flatulence known as Kevin Smith has claimed in an interview that after he makes an upcoming hockey movie, he plans to retire from film-making. Are we supposed to be sad about that? The man should never be allowed near movie-making equipment. Even his "best" movies are nigh unwatchable. The only things he's good at are talking about himself, selling merchandise, and convincing an entire generation of undiscerning movie watchers that he legitimately has something to say besides, "Hey, mom! Look at me, I mades a moovee!"

I'd love to believe him, but considering that he lies about shit all the time, I'm not going to get too excited. Smith loves attention, and the best way to get it is to keep rolling out shitty movies.

THE HANGOVER = Classic

Hangover

I watched The Hangover for the second time since the theatrical release, and it was just as, if not more, enjoyable than it was the first viewing. I'm always afraid with raunchy comedies that they're not going to be fun once the shock value wears off, but this one's got what it takes to last. Folks are going to still be watching it in 20 years. The performances are all top-notch and the story of a Vegas bachelor party gone bad is timeless.

It's just good, people. If you know me, you know I don't usually go for dumbass comedies, but this is a special dumbass comedy. From the moment the opening credits roll to Glenn Danzig's "Thirteen" rather than a more obvious good-time party song, you know that you're in for a sweet ride.

I know it's not "good for me", but I love it anyway.
