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 . . .

"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??

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)

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.â€
...
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.â€
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?
