If the movie could be compared to an author's writing I'm pretty sure Mr Ed Woods would win the first prize for a "Bad Writing Competition".

Nothing is more discouraging than looking up the author whose work you are about to read and finding this:

"Bhabha has been criticized for using indecipherable jargon and dense prose. In 1998 the journal Philosophy and Literature awarded Bhabha second prize in its "Bad Writing Competition,"[5] which "celebrates bad writing from the most stylistically lamentable passages found in scholarly books and articles." Bhabha was awarded the prize for a sentence in his The Location of Culture (Routledge, 1994). . . "

Unless it is 10:25 pm the night before the chapters need to be read and you realize that the prize was indeed awarded for the exact book you are about to read a part of.

Fuck. Hope you're all enjoying bad movie night.

No kidding, Al. How about this? (The second video in this post)

She has been a mayor, she's been overseer of billions - I don't know how many billions of dollars of natural resources, she's been a member of the PTA, she's been a governor, she's been a mayor . . .

It's like a carwreck, you just can't look away.

"All of them."

At some point, Ashton Kutcher's going to pop out of the bushes somewhere and tell us this has all been a very elaborate practical joke, right? For fuck's sake, "all of them"?? Are you kidding me??

- Take 23rd ave and turn South on Rabbit Hill Road
- Turn right at the end of the road at South Terwillegar Drive

Do you want to try to have bad movie night at my place again this week? I now have two "comfy" chairs!

I can pass on the directions if need be. I can pick the movie as well (unless someone opposes it)

Priorities:

In an election campaign notable for its surprises, Sarah Palin, the Republican vice- presidential candidate, may be about to spring a new one — the wedding of her pregnant teenage daughter to her ice-hockey-playing fiancé before the November 4 election.

Inside John McCain’s campaign the expectation is growing that there will be a popularity boosting pre-election wedding in Alaska between Bristol Palin, 17, and Levi Johnston, 18, her schoolmate and father of her baby. “It would be fantastic,” said a McCain insider. “You would have every TV camera there. The entire country would be watching. It would shut down the race for a week.”
...
McCain is expected to have a front-row seat at Bristol’s wedding and to benefit from the outpouring of goodwill that it could bring. “What’s the downside?” a source inside the McCain campaign said. “It would be wonderful. I don’t know that there has ever been a pre-election wedding before.”

Setting aside for a moment that Charles and Diana they're not (a whole week?!), is there anything more cynical than exposing your pregnant teenage daughter's shotgun wedding to an international audience just as a ploy in a presidential election?
